Corvallis Times CORVALLIS, OREGON, FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. 25, 1907 HOW IT WAS DONE. As Seen by a Times Writer The Sen atoiia1 Election Under the New C.J?--- crVwd is small and ;, proceedings unusually , insignificant at Salem. Rarer sessions of the body, one saysirery foar years instead of everjrtwo. is an innovation that Oregon will sometime most probab ly adopt. The state wouldn' t suf fer a whit in inconvenience or otherwise if such were the rule now. MRS. MARGARET RADER. PASSING OF DR. THOMPSON. Bnvied at Aliany This Afternoon- Many a contest in a college liter ary society over the election of its president has been more exciting than the episode of the late senator ial elections in Salem. In the same assembly chamber that hasresound: ed to oratory for the main part of 40 days in former senatorial dead locks, and in which ambitions have been blighted, hopes blasted, political prospects lained and dreams crushed, a tame ceremony of declaring Mr. Bourne and Mr. Mulkey United : States senators : transpired Wednesday. Beside an old. fashioned spelling school,;; the proceeding ; was dull. It wasn't half as interesting as many a trial in a justice court. ; . The senators, who by the way are a fine appearing - lot of, men, filed into the assembly hall and President Haines took the gavel. HeTead.the law. governing elect ions of United States senator The clerk of that body read 1 the . pro ceedings of the senate of the- day . before relative to the ballot for sen- vator. Thecleik of the bouse did : tne same. Tne president m turn : declared the newly, elect .United States senators in Congress from Oreeon. and the eavel , fell t. with a dull thud. A member mpved rthat ! -:a committee j of . two senators and ! three representatives . go out in the corridors and see ii any senator : was in waiting. .They found Sen ator Mulkey and brought him in. He made a short speech that , be cause it was short , and, ior. other - reasons was appropriate,,; and.- the; members applauded. ? . ; Z' " Salem had been used to. different kinds of scenes.! The people in the ' lobby had. r His friends had begged there patiently and entreatingly for votes xot senator uoipn, votes mat " never came.-- . They had: pleaded till the last minute in the last hour of the session and only to i see G. ' W." McBride in a well planned and magnificently executed melodrama gather in the plum and sail off for Washington. They had seen the Vir1H i-ir, cccirm anA haA Sppn Tnf "Simon slip away ,with . the plum that was intended 1 for Mr- Corbett. They saw Mr; ! Mitchell on that same floor deliver, a most eloquent address in ... tones - if not ' tears of gratitude and thankfulness when, after 40 long days the 46th man in .. . . . , . , t tne last minute nau come over.rrom the opposition and elected - him; There the last triumphant candi ' date of the lot, ; Charles Fulton had " been handed his toga through the ' aid of Brownell : and in tones of thankfulness, in the wee . small hours of the morning;" after a ter- lit iWc nnlirlrnl strinrtrle to the men " who had elected him by shifting from other candidates.; . .. . But all these scenes , are wither 'ing memories now to, those used to r the dramatic and sensational sen-'-' atonal deadlock and its soectacular ' "finish. . There will be no more of them: -A revolutionary and insur- gent minority can ;no, more holdup a session and force the election of another than the majority J scandir date. ; No more tan, a caucus name ' a senator and thrust a political stilletto into his back tbenext day as tney aid witn tne late senator Dolph. Statement No. r did its work this week and all those who r have looked at it say the plan is good. Mr. Bryan said it was ev ery time he had a chance to do so in his speeches in Salem Wednes- day evening and Thursday. Ev erybody also said so. Many think it 1 unfortunate that Jonathan ' Bourne was the first to land, but . they say it is better Bourne than s , debauched legislative session, a dis- rupted legislature, corrupted mem bers, a predatory lobby, mobinsur- eencv. and the discordant and dev i - ilish evils en train. .. .Better Bourne they say and the triumph of the! the legislative plan,, because they say, as senator, Mr. Bourne may retorm and because of, his high po sition play frank ; and , fair .S in " the holding onto' what he has. " . Anyway, senatorialy , speaking, . ' the legislature is as good as defunct. It is a ; decadent body : alL round. : Its sovereignty has flitted There ' jis a way o get good laws without : - its agency. There is a way to get laws without it' that couldn't ..be had with it,, and that is a powerful reason for its diminisament of im portance. Nobody '. cares very much about it, and only few come to look ion it atiits deliberations. There is 4. realization that anything it does can be upset by the prole- tariat if it wants to do it and that . it is likely to do it too, and so the Di:J Wednesday Long L:fe of We" Directed Effort.

' It was a contin uation of ill health that began some time ago, and which resulted a few months ago in his relinquishment of his pastorate at- Independence, after a five years' service there. Few clergymen' ever attained so wide popularity,- and to none came more calls for attendance at funer als and weddings, where his con duct of ceremonials was always of ch aracter to heighten the cheer of the One and mellow- the sorrow of the other. He is said to have of ficiated at no less than 1, 293 wed dings during his ministerial career. The wedding at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. Mi Davis in this city a few weeks ago was the 1,284th.

D. - In 1884 he came to the Pacific Coast ; and became pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Salem. He resided in the ,J capi tal city two years ana tnen came here to accept the presidency of Albany College.

For the past five years he had been pastor of the - Independence Presbyterian Church, giving up re gular work a few months ago be cause of ill health. Since then he had resided in Albany, preaching occasionally at Turner, Marion and Pleasant Grove. 1 ' - ' Dr. lnompson was' married' in 18.57 to Miss Ella Armstrong, now deceased.
