Candidates of Multnomah
Delegation Turned Down.
i0 HARD FEELING RESULTS
After Cnlllnu to Order, Both Houses
Adjourn Out of Respect to the Late
Congressman Tongrne ClerU
ahlpa Given Out Today.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 12. (Staff corre
spondence.) The Oregon Legislature or
ganized this afternoon with George C.
BrowneH, of Clackamas County, as Pres
ident of the Senate, and L. T. Harris, of
Lane County, as Speaker of the House.
The caucus of the Senate Republicans
took 18 ballots before a change of one
vote gave the victory to Brownell. The
name of the Senator who changed from
Smith to Brownell cannot be learned,
but the Brownell people glvo the follow
ing as the list of those who voted for the
winning candidate: Kuykendall, Mars
ters. Booth, Dlmmlck, Smith of Yamhill,
Howe, Fulton, Williamson, Carter, Stel-
wer, Johnston.
The Smith leaders count the following
as their stalwarts on the last ballot:
Daly, Myers, McGinn, Mays, Holraan,
Hunt, Farrar, Croisan, Hobson, Mulkey,
Rand. Brownell's nomination was made
unanimous upon motion of his opponent.
Smith of Multnomah.
In the House caucus 19 ballots were
required to .make a choice. Just beforo
the last ballot, Eddy, who had lost sev
eral votes to Harris, withdrew in the
latter's favor, and Harris was elected.
Upon motion of Davey, the third candi
date, the nomination- Tvas -made unani
mous. It is understood that in mak
ing committee appointments Mr. Harris
will deal very liberally with the sup
porters of both Eddy and Davey.
At the close of the organization both
Houses adjourned out of respect to the
memory of the late Congressman Tongue.
The air was cold and bracing this morn
ing when the solons crawled stiffly out
of bed. They had been up late the night
before, buttonholing and confabbing
with each other. In fact many had
stayed up past the midnight hour. Along
about 9:30 o'clock they began to assemble
at the Capitol. The Senate came together
in temporary organization about 10:lo
o'clock, and the House some 20 minutes
later. Soon thereafter the Republicans
of each House went Into caucus. The
Republicans of the Senate took seven
ballots, each of which gave 11 votes to
each candidate. In the caucus of the
House the votes were scattered" between
Davey, Harris and Eddy, In about equal
proportion. In the 'afternoon when the
caucuses took up again, after a noon re
cess. Brownell and Harris were chosen
as the Republican candidates;
Among the ex-members of the Legis
lature who were around the corridors of
the Capitol today were: A. S. Dresser,
of Clackamas; J. D. Lee, of Polk; N. H.
Looney, of Marlon; J. W. Virtue, of Jose
phine; Claren.ce Butt, of Yamhill; A.
W. Gowan. of Harney; J. J. Whitney,
of Linn; J. A. Talbcrt, of Clackamas:
W. P. Keady. of Crook; C. J. Curtis, of
Clatsop; D. W. Craig, of Marion; C. B.
Moores, of Oregon City; Dexter Rice, of
Douglas; H. L. Barklcy, of Marlon; A.
Gesner, of Marlon; C. D. Hartman, of
Marlon; J. M. Poorman, of Marion.
Dr. J. M. Keene, of Medford, who has
been a member of the third House In
evory session for the last 15 years, is In
Salem again, but says he is not taking
any Interest whatever in politics. Those
who know him have no doubt that he
will get Interested before the session is
over.
James Inghram, the convict who lost
his leg as a result of receiving a bullet j
from the rifle of David Morrill at the time i
of the outbreak at the prison last July. ,
was around the Legislature all day. He 1
was a candidate for doorkeeper of the i
Senate, and will also ask the Legls- j
on account of the loss of his. limb. HLs
left limb is off between the knee and hip
and he walks on two crutches.
Henry E. Ankeny, of Jacksonville, was
one of the prominent citizens of Oregon
who was a spectator upon the struggles
of the Legislative combatants today. His
presence gave rise to some talk of his
possible candidacy for the United States
Senate, but the interest In the organi
zation contest was too great to permit
much attention being given to a greater
fight that will' not be on in earnest for a
week yet.
One of the features of this session of
the Legislature Is the almost entire ab
sence of women applicants for clerk
ships. At almost every session there has
been a crowd of women besieging the
members for places where there will be
good pay with little to do. At the last
session the number of these was greatly
less than usual, and at this session the
women applicants are exceedingly few.
Perhaps one reason for this is that many
scandals arose out of the practice of em
ploying many women, clerks, .and women
began to feel that they could not afford
to be enumerated among the class re
ferred to as "lady clerks." Members
have In the last two sessions carefully
excluded all applicants of a question
able character, and the title of "lady
'lerk" has lost some of its former in
sinuated meaning.
Another reason why the number of
fair applicants has diminished Is that
under the Kuykendall law a clerk must
work and not merely draw a salary for
looking pretty and saying pretty things.
The roll-call in theSenate Is as fol
lows: Booth, Carter, Croisan, Daly,
Dlmmlck, Farrar, Fulton, -Hobson, Hol
man, Howe, Hunt, Johnson, Kuykendall,.
Marsters, Mays, McG-inn, Miller. Mulkey,
Myers, Pierce, Rand, Smith of Multno- j
mah. Smith of Umatilla. Smith of Yam
hill. Steiwer, Sweek, Wade, Wehrung,
Williamson, President Brownell.
The members whose names appear In
the first half of the list have a prestige
thereby, for the reason that many mem
bers will vote on measures according to
the way the ballot seems to be going.
In case of a close vote, the last few mem
bers in the list have an Important posi
tion, because they can cast the decid
ing votes. Williamson Is the last Repub
lican to announce his vote, and he is
preceded by three Democrats.
In the House the committee on creden
tials recommended that the Speaker ap
point a committee of one member from
each representative district to select and
report to the House the names of all
committee clerks and -stenographers, in
accordance with the provisions of the
Kuykendall law: and the House adopted
the recommendation. So the lucky mem
bers of this committee, -will have the
happy duty of making selections from
the ll3t of fair clerkship applicants.
The House today decided to adopt the
rules of the session of IDOL There has
been no change In the rules of cither
house for many years.
Both houses today adjourned out of re
spect to the memory of the late Repre
sentative Tongue. In the Senate Senator
Fulton made a few feeling remarks, re
ferring eloquently to the eminent services
of the dead Congressman: and in the
House Representative Gault, of Washing
ton, after telling the story of the death,
moved the appointment of a joint comml-
tee of three from the House and two from
the Senate to draw up suitable resolu
tions. Everything about the Capitol is spick
and span, or "as neat as a new pin," as
one of the lawmakers expressed It The
Legislators are enjoying their initiation
into the business of lawmaking. They
have stationery bearing the seal of the
State of Oregon, which "flies with its
own wings," and, best of all, the name
of each lawmaker in bold type. New ink
stands, new blotting-pads, new pens, and
all the accessories for the art of lawmak
ing adorn the desks. The solons will
have explored all of the novelties of the
Capitol by today, and will be ready for
business.
The following are the Representatives
from the several dlstlcts named by the
Speaker to select the clerks:
Blakley, Both, Burleigh, Cantrall, Car
nahan, Cornett, Davey, Eddy, Emmltt
Gault, Glnn, Hale, Hansbrough. Hawkins,
Hayden, Hermann, Hodson, Humes, Hunt

The House comrnlttee on clerkships, ap
pointed this afternoon, tonight appor
tioned clerkships among the Representa
tive districts. Under the Kuykendall law
the House Is allowed about $166 per day
for the payment of the Speaker's desk

patronage will be distributed between the
districts according to representation in.

ing 12 Representatives, "will receive about
twelve-sixtieths of the total allowance for
Its appointees. The salaries of the clerks
are regulated by law, and will determine
the number of clerks to which each dis
trict is entitled. The House will have
about 32 clerks and stenographers. These
were named tonight, and will be formally
elected by the House tomorrow by the
adoption of the committee's report Gault
of Washington Is chairman of the commit
tee, and Phelps of Morrow is secretary.
In the Republican caucus today a propo
sal was made to dispense with women
clerks, but It did not succeed.

SALEM, Or.. Jan. 12. (Special.) The In
auguration of Governor-elect George E.
Chamberlain will probably take place on
Wednesday afternoon. This Is the opinion
of the leading members of the Legisla
ture, as no action has been taken. The
houses must pass a concurrent resolution

OREGON STATE
VIEW FROM CAPITOL STREET.
SALEM. Or., Jan. 12. (Special.) The Oregon State Capitol, in which the Legislature convened today for its twenty-second
session, was erected In 1873. and has cost the state $300,000. It is located on what is known as Piety Hill, a slight rise o

covered with a good growth of grass. Ornamental trees and shrubs of ail varieties that will thrive in this climate are planted
at Intervals over the grounds. The walks are of white decomposed granite or concrete, and add much to the beauty of the
surroundings. '

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Jan. 12. At 7:45 this evening the
Pennsylvania express for Chicago bore
from the National capital the earthly re
mains of the late Representative Tongue,
of Oregon. If the train makes expected
connections at Chicago and at Omaha
and there are no unforeseen delays on the
way, the funeral party will arrive in Port
land next Saturday morning at 3. o'clock.
Ia-imy event, it Is hoped lo" -arrive there
Saturday afternoon in time to'permlf of
the holding of funeral services at Hllls
boro on Sunday. The details of the fu
neral have been left entirely to Mrs.
Tongue and the members of the family in
Oregon.
Accompanying the body in a special car
were Miss Bertha and Thomas H. Tongue.
Jr., the daughter and son of Mr. Tongue;
Miss Ruane. his secretary, and Miss
Marcla Paechal, of this city, an Intimate
friend of Miss Tongue, together with the
Congressional escort consisting of Repre
sentatives Moody, of Oregon; Bishop, of
Michigan; Davidson, of Wisconsin; Rame
dell, of Louisiana, and Bellamy of North
Carolina.
Senator Mitchell said he found it Impos

escort, but are so situated that they can
not leave at this time.
During the afternoon the body of the
late Congressman was placed in an Im
posing square casket covered, with black
broadcloth and lined with cream eatin.
Along either side were suspended bar
handles of silver and on the lid a silver
plate bearing the inscription:
THOMAS H. TONGUE.
Born June 23, 1S44.
Died January IX. 1903.
Tributes From. Friend.
Among the. floral tributes was a hand
some wreath of red meteor rcees and
maidenhair ferns, across which lay a
profuse cluster of lilies of the valley, a
token from the members of the House.
Another wreath v of white lilies, sweet
peao and lilies of the valley was from
Senator Mitchell.
Throughout the day many friends of Mr.
Tongue and his family called at the Irv-
Ington to view the body arid extend words
of sympathy to his children. Miss Bertha
had rallied wonderfully this morning, and
has borne the strain of the day with great
fortitude.
At 7 o'clock this evening the casket was
closed, pnd without ceremony at the
house carried to the hearse by a squad
of eight Capitol policeman as pallbearers.
The body was escorted to the train by
the full membership of the river and
harbor and the Irrigation committees.
There the casket was placed In a box of
polished chestnut and put aboard the
train, immediately after the funeral party
and escort had gone to their car.
A large gathering of members was pres
ent at the house and at the depot, and
stood with bared heads as the casket was
borne past them for the last time.
Moody ComCM With Body.
Before leaving tonight, Mr. Moody said
that, In addition to his personal sorrow at
the death of his colleague and the sad
errand upon which he returned to Oregon
at this time, he left Washington with
.great regret, owing to the fact that it left
his state temporarily without representa
tion In the House at a time when there
are Important matters pending in which
the people of Oregon are deeply con
cerned, but he felt It was a duty he owed,
not only to his late coLague, but to his
family and his constituents. He believed
that It would be the sentiment of the
people of his own district, as well as the
First that he at least should be a mem
ber of the Congressional escort to his
former home, as otherwise his state would
not have been represented thereon. He
anticipates that there will be no lack of
attention to the state's interest in the
House, as practically all of the Western
members realize the situation and volun
teered to give them their special atten
tion during Mr. Moody's absence.
Mr. Moody will return to Washington
directly after the funeral." The" others of
the Congressional party will return by way.

Hermann Could Not Leave.
Commissioner Hermann would have
formed one of the party, as he was anx
ious In this way to testify his regard for
the memory of his successor In Congress,
but found the time too short In which to
close up the unfinished business of his
office before turning the same over to his
successor, who will soon be appointed.
Representatives .Burton, Mondell and
Lacey, all close friends of Mr. Tongue,
were desirous of being members of "the
Congressional escort, but, owing to the
fact that It Is a short session and Import
ant matters under their care are constant
ly coming before the House, they could
not get away. Several other personal
friends were In the same situation. This
morning several members who had mere
ly a passing acquaintance with Mr.
Tongue sought to be appointed on the es
cort and were favorably listened to by

OLYMPIA, Wash.. "Jan. 12. (Staff cor
respondence.) The, Preston-McBrlde con
tingent recovered Its wind after its de
feat in the organization of the House yes
terday, and along toward midnight the
railroad commission bill came up into the
limelight dressed in new togs. The Sen
atorshlp has been temporarily shunted
.to the rear, and the commission bill will
be used as a club to keep it there until
the bill has passed both houses. The dem
onstration of Ankeny strength In the or
ganization of both houses of the Legisla
ture gave but small hope of beating the
Walla Walla candidate on the straight
Senatorial Issue, and tonight the com
mission bill was put to the front for the
purpose of tying up enough votes to pre
vent the Ankeny people from holding a
caucus. -
An Ironclad agreement was drawn up
tonight by the McBrlde-Preston people,
obligating the signers to refuse to sign
any call for a caucus unless the call for
such caucus provides that all of the sign
ers thereof shall agree to the passage
through both houses of a railway com
mission bill, as provided for in this state
platform. This agreement had received
20 signers up to midnight, none of them
I being: members of the King County dele-
tgation. " Of the latter delegation. Preston
this afternoon succeeded in tying up 24
votes, so that they cannot enter a caucus
without his consent. This makes a. total
of 44 votes marshaled by the McBrlde
Preston people for the purpose of tying
up the Senatorial matter until after the
passage of a railway commission bill, and,
to clinch the proceeding, John L. Wilson
has agreed to supply enough votes to pre
vent the caucus. As no caucus :an be
held until 69 signers are secured, this ap
parently has blocked proceedings for a
while. The tie-up tonight has every ap
pearance of strength, but the luke-warm-ness
of King County on the commission
and of the Preston-McBrlde contest will
probably prevent its lasting too long.
