BUT FIVE ADVERSE VOTES Sentiment Is Strongly in Its Favor, D. J. MALARKEY'S FINE SPEECH He Readily Answer Attempts to Amend the Measure Gol-n to Sen ate Today, "Where Prompt Ac tion Is Expected. The Lewis and Clark Fair appropria tion bill passed the House with prac tically no opposition. A few members' voted "no" through wishes of their constituents. The opposition wanted to withhold the money until the fair committee had secured $500,000 or $1,000,000 from other sources, but It was shown that this would seriously retard the enter prise. A spirited debate preceded the vote on the proposed amendment, but when the presiding officer put the question not a single voice was raised In objection. SALEM. Or., Jan. 20. (Staff correspond ence.) I he Lewis and Clark Fair bill passed the House today. Although five votes were recorded against the measure, It encountered no actual opposition. The measure will go to the Senate tomorrow, where it is expected to be disposed of Just as promptly as in the House. The five members who voted against the bill today were: Gault of "Washington. Hunt. Icy and Paulsen of Clackamas, Bllyeu of Linn, and Olwell of Jackson. Several of these gentlemen said before the bill came up that they had no objection to the ap propriation,' "But felt constrained by their constituents to vote against It. However, they, would not fight the bill. The measure passed after a spirited de bate, or rather animated discussion. The speeches left no doubt about the over whelming sentiment of the House In fa vor of the bill. Such debate as there was centered about the question whether to amend the bill so as to withhold the state money until the Fair had secured 5500,. 000 or $1,000,000 from other sources. Half of Josephine and Phelps of Morrow pro posed the amendments. They denied that they wished to retard the Fair, and said they desired to assist the enterprise all they could. The House took the nosltlon that the amendments would work delay to the Exposition at a time when thev might cause other states to withhold as sistance. Four members who voted for the bill explained their votes. Shelley of Lane said that the state would not feel the burden of the Fair tax because the cor poration tax. which is to be enacted. would bring to the state between noo.OOt and $150,000 annual revenue more than Is now collected. Judd of Marlon aid that at first he had thought the appropriation too large, but that he had come to believe that the state could pay It easily. Galloway of Yamhill thought the appropriation too large, but he waived his opinion In the face of the overwhelming sentiment for the bill. Kav of Marlon declared that the state would be disappointed in the practical results of the Fair and he prophesied that four years hence the Legislature would be asked to make good a deficit. Dan J. Malarkey, chairman of the sne- clal House committee on the measure. led the debate In favor of the bill. He was aided by Banks of Multno mah, who had an amusing set-to with Gault, by Jones of Lincoln, Judd of Marion, Cornett of Linn. Whealdon of "Wasco, and Davey of Marlon. The cham pions of the bill are thus seen to repre sent widely separated districts of the state. The sentiment" of the House was overwhelming that the Exposition was for Oregon and the Pacific Coast, and not alone for Portland and Multnomah. Tomorrow the bill will go to the Senate. where Its advocates expect It to bo passed as readily as It was today by the House. The measure was brought up Jn the House first on account of Its being a revenue bill. Some apprehension was felt lest opposition might develop In the House. Dan J. Malarkey, who has been fathering the bill In the lower chamber, has worked carefully and without undue haste, so that other members of the bodv might not think he was trying to "rush" or "railroad the measure. Senator J. E. Hunt Is the champion .of the bill In the Senate. He has cleared the way In that body so that the measure will doubtless go through to final passage without ob stacle. This week the bill should have the signature of the Governor, and In all probability will then virtually be a law, although it will be subject to referendum The opinion is general that the people will not demand referendum, because the measure has been before the nubile so long that it has received common acqules- cense. The bill came up this morning on the report of the special committee comnoRod of Malarkey of Multnomah, Carnahan of Clat3op, Davey of MarlOn. Riddle of Doug las, Shelley of Lane. Whealdon of "Wasco. and Galloway of Yamhill. The committee recommended passage of . the measure, with one minor amendment to the effect that the memorial building, for which $50,000 is to be appropriated by the state. shall be maintained after the Exposition by the City of Portland, "without expense to the State of Oregon." Galloway, the only member of the committee who did not approve the bill, did not submit a minority report, and made no protest on the floor of the House. "Aye" Carry It by Storm. After the first reading of the bill the House went Into committee of the whole. Speaker Harris called Eddy to the chair, who presided while the bill was on second reading. The spirited way In which he presided set up a thrill of enthusiasm all over the House, and when the bill came up for passage after the second reading the vote "Aye" was so loud that it re-echoed Into the chamber and out Into the rotunda. The adoption of the bill part by part pro cceded smoothly In committee df the whole until section 11 was reached. One minor amendment was offered to section 2 by Davey, and adopted, to provide that the Governor may fill vacancies In the state commission when they are caused by re fusnl to qualify or by death or reslgna tlon, "or otherwise." Hale Moved to Amend. Section 11 Is the clause appropriating $300,000. Here the progress of the reading was stayed for a pyrotechnic display of oratory. Hale of Josephine gave the ad herents of the bill a few moments of un easiness by offering the following amend ment: Provided, That no part of the fund hereby ap proprlated shall be drawn or made available for any purpose until the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition Commission shall show to the satisfaction of the Secretary of State and State Treasurer that the commission has an available fund for the purposes of the Ex position by subscription and private and cor poratc donations, and exclusive of state and National appropriations, of not less than "We should not be unmindful of the uhWlib nu are io proauce tnis runa. said Hale of Josephine, mover of the amendment. "It Is no argument that thl3 bill was drawn by eminent attorneys for ine uuy or Portland a city that produces most of the capitalists, most of the millionaires and most of the candidates for the United States Senate. The speaker went on to express a kindly leeling toward Portland and the enter prise. "But It Is a Portland enterprise born there and nurtured there," he 3ald "and they come here asking us to spend the people's money in their aid. I am very anxious to make this .enterprise a great success; but if it Is to be a success, it will take far more money than the people of Portland have subscribed. It will take $1,000,009. If we cannot raise that much we'd better kill the bill and save the peo ple s money." The speaker went on to argue that me people who pay the taxes are the people In moderate circumstances upon whom thj burden would fall heavi est. Mnlarkey's Vigorous Reply. Mr. Malarkey was electrified at once and spoke against the amendment in an animated manner. "This bill." said he. looking toward Mr. Hale, "was very care fully prepared by a committee of three of thtT nbT-. .r- lawyers' in ihe Sttte of Oregon. It was referred to a special com mittee of seven members of this House, Senator Hunt has Introduced an identical bill in the Senate. There the bill was re fcrred to a special committee of seven members of that body. These two cocn- mlttees have met In joint conference, and have given the bill full consideration and favorable report. Amendments were con sldered by us to require the Fair to have from $300,000 to $2,000,000 at Its disposal be fore it should receive money from the state. These amendments were all re jected." Mr. Malarkey went on to say that ccm parlson of the alms and purposes of other great expositions of the United States with the alms and purposes of the Lewis and Clark Exposition was unfair, and that therefore the appropriation of $500,000 could not be considered out of proportion with the resources of the state. "The expos! Hons." said Mr. Malarkey, "In the older communities of the East have not aimed to attract Immigration. But this Is the aim of the Lewis and Clark Fair. It Is to draw people from Eastern States to see our resources. By the terms of this bill $50,000 is for a display of Oregon pro ducts at St. Louis. Another $50,000 Is to be a permanent memorial building at Portland. When you eliminate these two sums, the actual appropriation for the Fair is reduced to $i00.00u, which Is about the sum already subscribed to the Fair." Mr. Malarkey concluded by declaring that the proposed amendment If adopted would kill the Fair. B. F. Jones, of Lin coln County, strongly opposed the amend ment "it woulu kill the bill." he said. If we delay In this matter we may be too late. The fyes of other Legislatures are upon us. The time has come to pass the bill. Oregon Is 20 years behind "Washing ton In advertising Its resources. By mak ing this appropriation Oregon will put Itself forward where It belongs. The peo ple of my county are ready to carry their share of tho. tax." f One of the "Poor Taxpayers.' E. T. Judd, of Marlon, spoke In the sHme tenor. "I protest," said he. "against the attempt to develop sentiment against the Fair bill by telling us (referring to Mr. Hale) how very poor many of our taxpayers are. If there are any poor taxpayers, I'm one of them." Mr. Judd declared tLat though one of the "poor Taxpayers" he was a supporter of the Fair. "This bill," he continued, "Is not of mushroom growth. The best brainy of attorneys and business men have gone Into It. They have given It careful atten tion for months. A word to my fellow farmers: Let us do our own thinking. While we may not have the wealth and education of some people, we can do our own thinking. If the bill Is to be killed let us kill It at once and not filibuster nor kill it oft by Inches." F. D. Cornett.. of Linn, said that the amendment would hamper the Fair in get ting aid from other states. N. Whealdon, of Wasco, said: "This bill Is the product of brilliant legal talent, and of our best business men, and Is for a business purpose. The amendment should be rejected." Frank uavey, of Marion, then took -a band in the discussion. "We should dis cuss this section with candor and on its merits," said he. "I do not believe. the amendment a reasonable one.

FULTON GETS 28, GEER 20 Progress of Ballots Devoid of Incidents, MULTNOMAH VOTES DIVIDED "Wood, Democrat, Receives IS Vote Fulton Expects to Gain Two More Today Representative Gallo way Makes a Hit. The first ballot for United States Sen ator at Salem yesterday resulted as fol lows: Fulton 2S Gecr 20 Wood ; 18 Scattering: 21 Absent ;. 3 Total 00 SALEM, Jan. 20. (Staff correspondence.) The result of the first ballot for United States Senator .today was precisely as forecasted In The Oregonian, except that two Fulton votes In Clackamas County went for Geer. Mr. Fulton received 2S votes. Gecr 20 votes and Wood IS. The Multnomah delegation carried out Its plan of scattering among several eligible resi dents of Portland, their total of 19 Re publicans being divided among nine dif ferent persons. Mr. Fulton solved the problem of pre venting the loss of his own vote by the easy expedient of absenting himself. The absentees were three Senator Fulton and Representatives Hume and Adams. If, In the joint convention tomorrow, there are present only S7 of the SO members of the Legislature, a majority, or 44. mav eleot n United States Senator. If Senator Fulton is present it will take 45. So the Import ance as well as the propriety' of the Sen ator falllnsr to answer his name on rolf call Is apparent. - The progress of the separate ballots today was marked by no unusual inci dents. In the Senate the June vote under the Mays act was canvassed in the morn ing and then followed an Intermission until 11:55. At the noon hour the roll was called and the vote taken without the usual formality of nominating speeches. Senator Stelwer, about whose position there was much Interest, cast his vote for Geer. The six Multnomah Republican votes split between .Judge George and Henry L. Pittock. The result was: Fulton, 9; Gecr, S; Wood, 6; George, 3; Pittock, 3. The result was speedily announced and the Senate adjourned. In the House a large crowd assembled In the lobby. At noon there was a slight effort on the part of Representative Davey to have the June vote canvassed first, but he was defeated by the ruling of the chair. Nominating speeches followed, be ing made by Davey for Geer. Phelps for Fulton and Galloway for Wood. After the vote had been taken the result of the con- est between Geer and Wood In June was canvassed and announced. The House vote was: Fulton, 19: Geer. 12; Wood, 12; and scattering Included the remainder. The Fulton forces tonight are claim ing that they will tomorrow have 31 votes. They say that they will receive APPOINTED COMMISSIONER OF THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE. EX-GOVERNOR W. A. RICHARDS, OF WYOMING. accessions In the persons of Representa tives Huntley and Webster, of Clacka mas, who today were In the Geer col umn, and Representative Eddy, of Tilla mook. The first two have been looked upon as Fulton men, and Mr. Eddy 1ns been known to be strongly Inclined to ward the Clatsop candidate. Democrats Are Looking On. "Democrats will vote steadily for C. E. S. Wood for Senator." So say the lead ers of the minority flock In the Legis lature. "We can't'do anything else than vote for Wood." slid Senator Wehrung. "We are bound to vote for Wood," re marked Senator Swcek. "We shall con tinue to vote for Wood Indefinitely," an nounced Representative Ga'.lowty. When asked whether Democrats would vote for Wood clear to the end, Mr. Galloway responded: "Oh, I don't know: strange things have happened." Then he added: "It Is the duty of Democratic Senatorial electors to vote for a Democrat for- Sen ator." It is understood about the Capitol that Democrats will stand by Mr. Wood for a while at least, perhaps a good, long while. Wrhen asked whether they were going to cast their ballots to the finish for a mem ber of their own faith and thus eliminate themselves from the Republican contest they put on knowing looks as if to say, "Walt and see." Some of the gentlemen go so far ao to give expression to this sentiment In actual words. "It's for us to stand pat," remarked one of the gentle men tonight. Last night the Democrats held a pow wow at Senator Swcek's headquarters. The result of their profound deliberations Is shown In today's ballot for Senator. All their votcej to the number of 17 went to Wood. Gill, Republican, for the sake of novelty, voted for Wood. This caused a commotion In the Democratic camp and one of the faithful remarked: "If the Republicans keep dropping In we'll land our man yet' At the meeting last night Wood's letter was discussed. His advice that Demo crats should vote for Geer was not heeded. Whether or not the Mays law constrains a minority to support the majority candi date is a question of debate among Dem ocrats. Senator Mays said today that this was not the intention of the law. Presidential electors, for exumple. vote for the candidate of their own party whether he be a minority candidate or not. Galloway Makes n Hit. Galloway of Yamhill made a speech to day, the tall-end of which made an en tertaining swish at the Republicans. "When the people," said he, "elected Dem ocratic Presidential electors they expected them to vote for the Democratic candidate for President; when the people elect Re publican Presidential electors they expect them to vote for the Republican candidate for President. When the people elect Democratic Senatorial electors they expect them to vote for the Democratic candidate fpr Senator. But," paused the Yamhill gentleman, "when the people elect Re publican Senatorial electors, God only knows what they expect them to do." E. B. P. . r s : . r-. VOTE IX THE SENATE. Fulton Gets Nine, Geer Eij?ht, and Wood Six. SALEM. Or., Jan. 20. (Special.) The ballot for United States Senator In the benate passed off without any sur prises or incidents of an unusual nature Each Senator voted Just as he was ex pected to do. Senator Fulton, the leading candidate for the United States Senator ship, was absent during the time the vote was being taken. The Senate time, and perhaps some annoyance, by canvassing the vote on Senator early In the forenoon. At 10:30 the chief clerk an nounced. "A message from the Secretary of State." President Brownell directed that the message be read, and It proved to be a letter transmitting the duplicates of the election returns, as required by law. President Brownell then directed that the vote be canvassed, and the chief clerk read off the vote for each county and the total for the state. The president announced the vote, and then Inquired: "What Is the further pleasure of the Sen ate?" "Aren't you going' to declare Mr. Geer elected?" Inquired Senator Sweek. the Democratic nominee from Multnomah. "I do not understand that I am author ized to declare any one elected to the office of United States Senator by virtue of the law," was the response. "I am (Concluded cn Fourth Page.)

The opposing forces of the big Senatorial fight which Is now on met In actual conflict for the first time at noon today, and when the smoke of bat tle of ballots cleared away, the great question Involved was seemingly as far as ever from a settlement. Ankeny, leading candidate, had 48 votes, Preston 41, Wil son 12, Turner 23.. and the remaining dozen were scattered around among John B. Allen, Judge Carroll Graves. Ira En glehart, W. L.
