State Senator K. A. Booth, of
ljne County, is puoken of as a pos
.-ible candidate for United States
Senator at the coming session, of
the Legislature.
Senator Booth is one of the best
known politicians in Southern
Oregon, and was chairman of the
last Republican State Convention,
when W. J. Furnish was nominat
ed for Governor. Senator Booth's
name had been casually mention
ed for Governor prior to the con
vention, and it was in recognition
of his prominence that he was se
lected as permanent chairman
1 here a.-e many politicians who
declare that Booth could have
landed the nomination for Gov
ernor had he been willing to per
mit his name to be presented at
the time.
Of late the name of Senator
Booth has been heard in connec
tion with the presidency of the
Stite Senate He was considered
quite a formidable candidate for
. the place, and it is natural now
that he should be discussed as be
ing in the field for the higher hon
or, the position of United States
Senator. Southern Oregon has
not had a Senator in many years,
so that geographically Senator
Booth has an element of location
in his favor, but Senator Charles
W. Fulton, of Clatsop County, an
avowed seeker for the toga, also
has this advantage. And so have
others.
The rumor that Senator Booth
may be considered as a factor in
the race originated in his own
county. A close political friend of
Senator Booth is responsible for
the statement regarding the Lane
County statesman. The intima
tion was made that a combine is
now being effected in which Sena
tors Eooth and Fulton figure
prominently. It is further hinted
that in the event of Fulton being
. unable to land the nomination
himself he will throw his strength
to Senator Booth and that between
them they have enough votes to
carry on the prize. Fulton's
. strength is unknown, but is rated
by a follower as being but a hand
ful short of the requisite number
necessary to elect.
Advices from Salem are to the
effect that Governor T. T. Geer is
to be considered a Btrictly in the
race for Senator. With possibly
one exception the Marion County
delegation will cast it ballots for
the tall sycamore of the Waldos.
Several of the Marion County men
do not intend to support Geer in
definitely, but will ai-sist him with
their ballots until be develops his
full strength, and then if he is
found short they will seek another
banner.
More than one Republican,
while not having any particular!
liking for Geer, will feel compelled
to vote for him on account of the
Mays law. It was through this
statute that Geer'i name appeared
upub the official ballot of the June
election as the Republican choice!
for United States Senator. A no'
other Republican nime appeared!

J their position most keenly, state
that they cannot conscientiously
vote otherwise than for Geer, as he is
the choice of the people of Oregon,
as shown by the election, and they
argue, further, that the only way
in which United States Senators
will be elected by popular vote is
to give every experiment, like the
Mays' law, a fair test.
The Speakership is no settled
affair. There are three prominent
candidates Eddy, of Tillamook
and Yamhill; Harris, of Lane, and
Davey, of Marion. Eddy is sup
posed to have the support of one
faction and Harris of another.
Harris wished to no to Salem us
Senator ut the comming session,
but the powers that be in his par
ticular country, induced him to
forego the ambition and accept a
nomination foi Representative in
stead, promising him, it is under
stood, the Speakership. As for
Davey, he is not backed by.
either of the Republican factions,
but counts upon the unattached
Republicans for his support and
believes that at this time he has
more strength than either of his
rivals, Ihe .uultnoman uelega

The Senatorial question is being
difcussed bv the people. The vote
for Geer and it influence on the
legislature is being talked of. All
agree that as bi't ween Mr. Wood
tlio democratic nominee, and Geer
the Governor won; as between Geer
and other republicans who may be
candidates for the senate, the vote
expressed no choice and is not of
auv binding force on the lecisla
ture. It would seem that the
people regard the vote of Mr. Geer
not as their choice for Senator
among republicans, nut us their
preference bet ween a democrat and
a republican. Public sentiment
has not centered on anv one man
