Charles W. Fulton 1003
SALEM. Or.. Feb. 20. (Staff correspond
ence.) Charles W. Fulton was elected
United States Senator tonight at 12:12
o'clock. Victory came after scenes of
Intense excitement and amid the wildest
clamor from his friends. It was on the
ISth ballot of the evening and the 42d of
the session. At U, o'ctocJc-the opposition
made a. futile utternpt' to unite upon the
'name of II.. -W. Scott, -of Portland. Jdr.
Scott received the' unanimous sunnort n
the Multnomah delegation for two ballots.
On the third ballot or the ISth of the
evening, when the minute-hand of th
clock was pointed to within three minutes
or midnight, Mr. Nottingham, of Multno
ham, arose as his name was called and
made the first break from the Portland
members for Mr. Fulton. He -was fol
lowed by Mr. Banks, and then, after sev
eral other changes had been made, by
Representatives Fisher and Jones. Mr.
Jones' vote, however, was not needed he
was the ISth man. To Senator Daly, of
Benton County, the fortune of completing
the triumph of the candidate of Astoria
fell. He was the lath, and It took IS to
elect.
When Mr. Nottingham abandoned his
Multnomah colleagues Mr. Fulton had 23
votes. It had been arranged that the
Marlon delegation would vote for Mr.
Scott on the next ballot, and If Mr. Not
tingham had seen fit to abide by the
wishes and plans of his delegation. It Is
quite probable that Multnomah County
would have been successful In Its effort to
elect a man from Portland. -With his con
version to Mr. Fulton the tide In the di
rection of that gentleman set In, and on
him. therefore, rests largely the responsi
bility and the honor of naming the new
United States Senator.
The order In which the changes from the
opposition to Mr. Fulton was brought
about was as follows:
Nottingham. Banks. Crolsan, Hume,
Haydcn. Johnston, Mulkey, Stelwer. Fish
er. Daly and W. N. Jonesof Multnomah.
Kay of Marion had. however, taken up his
abode in the Fulton camp at 11 o'clock,
when the name of Mr. Scott was first pro
posed. HOW FULTON WON OUT.
Story of the Battle at the Fateful
Midnight Hour.
SALEM. Or., Feb, 20.-Staff correspond
ence.) The balloting for United States
Senator began at 8 o'clock and was car
ried forward continuously until the time
of the great triumph of Mr. Fulton. De
spite the efforts of a hard-worked com
mittee to limit the number of persons in
attendance, there was a vast crowd of
persons in the Hall of Representatives.
The- noise and confusion were great. It
was necessary many times to interrupt
the roll call in order to restore order, but
it was generally In vain. The crowd was
there to see a Senator made, and to make
a demonstration for the favorite candi
dates. Mr. Fulton appeared to, be the
popular choice of the majority, though
there was a numerous and strong-lunged
contingent of men who frequently made
themselves heard for Governor Geer. The
progress of voting was somewhat slower
than on previous similar occasions. Pres
ident Brownell. at the end of almost
everj ballot, gave a brief respite to the
labors of the wearied legislators by allow
ing the convention to rest at ease, or
such ease as it could command.
The struggle Journeyed on. and there
was no change from any candidate, no
speeches and no distinct evidence of what
the outcome would be until 10:55 o'clock.
Then Dr. Andrew C Smith, Senator from
Multnomah, arose and addressed the
chair for the first formal address of the
evening. The crowd became for once
silent, and awaited with Intense Interest
the beginning of Dr. Smith's remarks.
He nominated H. W. Scott, in an address
of glowing eloquence, eulogizing him In
the highest terms and inviting the Legis
lature how to unite upon a candidate who
siWh--raw smw&Bm
i m
was eminently fit to represent the state
at Washington.
Dr. Smith spoke for more than 15 min
utes, and was listened to with the closest
attention throughout. He was followed
by Representative Malarkcy, who second
ed Mr. Scott's nomination In a fine speech,
which drew forth much applause. Repre
sentative Eddy followed In a warm ad
dress for Mr. Fulton, and Representative
Davey declared his purpose to abide by
the will of the people and continue to
strive for the election of Mr. Geer.
The vote resulted:
Fulton 31

It was 11U o-clock when President
Brownell ordered the next roll call. Bailey
led off with a vote for Mr. Scott, and was
followed by Banks, for the same candi
date. The Fulton men stood pat. refus
ing to be stampeded. When the roll call
had been 'completed Kay of Marlon arose,
and In a few remarks changed to Mr. Ful
ton. The result was: Fulton 33, Scott 2S,
Geer 8, Wood 17, Blnger Hermann L
Mr. Geer's vote, which had been grow
ing from' plow accessions from the Mult
nomah delegation during the' evening and
had reached a maximum of 30. was re
duced on this ballot to eight. Just half
the 16 Geer men. therefore, had gone to
Mr. Scott.
The President then ordered another bal
lot, but before the clerk could begin the
roll call Senator Mulkey, of Polk, asked
for recognition by the chair and made a
very eloquent speech In behalf of Mr.
Scott. It was commendatory of Mr. Scott's
personal character and his long Journal
istic service In the State of Oregon as
the editor of The Oregonlan. As the roll
call was proceeding there was a diversion
that attracted the attention of the Im
mense audience. Mr. Fulton, who had
been sitting quietly In his seat voting for
his friend. R. D. Hume, when his name
was called mounted the platform. His
appearance called forth a loud demonstra
tion from his admirers, and there were
repeated demands for a speech. -
He stood Immovably behlrld -Prerident
Brownell chair for several moments and
then engaged In earnest conversation with
the President. A consultation followed
between Mr. Fulton and President Brown
ell. Speaker Harris, Senator Kuykendall
and Whitney L. Boise.. Mr. Brownell
finally returned to his place and stood
with Impawive face watching the progress
of the vote. There was an uneasy whis
per during the course of the conference
that Mr. Fulton had decided to withdraw,
but he hadn't. At the end of the ballot
Senator Fulton returned to the floor of
the House. There was some delay In
beginning- the next ballot and Fulton
waived his finger at the President and
asked for "another roll call.
It was then 11:53 o'clock and there was
a mighty Jtfr In the crowd. Nothing out
of the usual .order happened until the
name of Mr. Nottingham was reached. He
then arose and after eulogizing- Mr. Fen
ton, for whom ho had voted for a great
part of the session, made the fateful
change: to Charles W. Fulton. The wild

est kind of outburst' from the uproarious
Fulton lobby ensued. It was' instantly
stilled when it was-seen that Senator
"Mulkey was doing his best to secure the
attention cf the President, It was sup
posed that he, also Intended to cast his
lot with the man from Astoria. He did
not, however. He spoke briefly and called
upon the Legislature to unite for Mr.
Scott. Then Representative Banks made
It apparent that he had something to say

Senator Stelwer quietly asked the clerk

Representative Fisher followed suit. Sen
ator Daly made the necessary forty-fifth
and Fulton was elected.
The crowd was uncertain that the great
transaction had been done, and made no
unusual demonstration until It saw a
number of friends of the successful can
didate rush over to his seat and lift him
high on their shoulders. Meanwhile, Rep
resentative Jones had got on the band
wagon. Mr. Fulton was carried by his
pleased and enthusiastic friends down to
the front of the President's rostrum.
Pandemonium reigned for several mo
ments, and Senator Fulton was all but
pulled to pieces in the grand rush to
seize him by the hand. He was finally
called to the side of President Brownell.
When silence had been restored Presi
dent Brownell said:
"I have the pleasure and distinguished
honor to introduce to you a young and
vigorous man, whose voice has for many
years been lifted up for the Republican
party In Oregon, and whom you have Just
elected to a seat In the United States Sen
ate. He Is a man of true honor, and one
who has done much to stop the spirit of1
sectionalism which has prevailed too long
In this state. He lives In the northern
part of the state, and his election means
that a man will represent Oregon In the.
United States Senate, whether he comes
from extreme Southern Oregon or lives
down where the Columbia River empties
Its waters-Into the great Pacific. He will
repte3ent every section of our common
wealth, and will work In perfect harmony
with that other brilliant man. Hon. John
H. Mitchell."
Senator Fulton advanced to the Speak
er's desk and said:
Mr. Fulton Speaks.

of the Oregon Legislature and Ladles and
Gentlemen: I have often heard that words

before appreciated the full meaning of
that saying. How can I sufficiently thank

honor? I fln myself wholly without words

CANAL TREATY BLOCKED
Statehood Men Are Ready for
Extra Session.
IF DEMANDS ARE NOT GRANTED
Quny Denies He Gave Pledgee to Sup
port Canal Treaty Move for Open
Session Is Abortive Quay Com
pelled to Do His Own Reading.
The deadlock brought about by the
alliance between the advocates of state
hood and the opponents of the, Panama
Canal treaty In the Senate has brought
about renewed negotiations tor a com
promise on the former issue.
The compromise "talked of Is the ad-
mission of two,- lnsteadof three, states
and the ratification of the- cacal and
Cuban treaties. The Democrats may
prove an obstacle, aa they have blth-
..tn Irt.l.tfkft nn itir. nw states.
Opponents ot statehood tear that the. ?'
friends of that measure have enough
votes to carry it as a rider to the post
office appropriation bill, and are pre
pared to bold out. even It an extra, ses
sion results.
The obstructive tactics were contin
ued In the secret session yesterday, and
a move for open sessions on the treaty
failed.
WASHINGTON,. Feb. 20. The Senate
spent the entire- day In executive- seeslon
considering the Panama Canal treaty and
at 5:25 P. M. took a recess until tomorrow
at 11 o'clock. No vote was taken on..any
of the amendments which have Tjeen pre
pared by Senator Morgan.
The decision of the steering committee
against a nI5ht.sesBi0n.WBt. reachpd.at ta
meeting .of the. committee held Juring the
afternoon, aCne .request .of Senator Cul
lom, who has the Colombian".' otherwise
known as. the' Panama Canal, treaty In
charge and wished the. steering committee
to advise abandoning the night sessions.
-The .committee decided that the senti
ment of .the Senate was against holding:
another night session until an effort had
been made to reach an adjustment of the
somewhat tangled legislative situation.
In order to bring about an adjustment It
was suggested that some compromiao
might be made on the statehood bill.
The opponents of the statehood bill
never have believed that the measure -could
be carried as a rider on the Post
office appropriation bill In the Senate, but
the friends , of the measure have dis
covered that they have the votes not only
to carry out this plan, but to overrule the
chair should he decide that the rider was
not In order. Inquiry about the Senate
today made the opposition apprehensive,
though not convinced of this claim, and
in the committee today they said that. If
such be the case, it would mean an extra,
session of Congress and that the appro
priation bill with the statehood rider
would be defeated. It was also found
that the leaders In the statehood fight
were willing to assume the responsibility
for this outcome.
With this situation before It the steer
ing committee began to discuss the pos
sibility of a compromise. Senators Quay
and Elklns "Snd other Republicans who
have been favoring the statehood bill were
called In and the matter was canvassed at
some length, but without approaching;
an agreement. The. Democrats have not
been consulted, and, as they stood out
solidly against the plan of compromiao
for the creation of two new states, they
may not accept any compromise proposi
tion. Should a compromise be agreed upon.
It Is stated that it will Include the rati
fication of the Colombian and Cuban
treaties.
Burton Talks Statehood.
When the Senate met at 11 A. M. it
was still the legislative day of yesterday,
a recess having been taken last night
until this morning. The proceedings were
still behind closed doors.
The Panama Canal treaty was immedi
ately laid before the Senate. Morgan
yielded the floor to Burton, an odvocatl
of the omnibus statehood bllL He spoke,
especially of the Importance of the pas
sage of that measure, only Indirectly re
ferring to the treaty. His contention waa
that while the canal treaty might be a
meritorious measure, the statehood bill
was equally so, and that.lt should be voted
upon.
Senator Burton's speech was drawn out
by some criticisms of the decisions of the
Republican caucus. Senator Quay mad
complaint of the publication, and Senator
Hoar said that the caucus discussions
were not for the newspapers. Senator
Burton referred only briefly to the caucus,
then made an argument of an hour and a
hairs duration in favor of the admission
of the three proposed states.
Burton was generally congratulated al
the conclusion of his remarks.
Dubois (Idaho) followed -with a speech
In criticism of the treaty, and ot
what be characterized as the summary
action of the Republican caucus. He .com
plained that the caucus had tried to forc
a vote of the Senate upon a measure that
had not been considered at all, and said
this could not be done. He added thai
the attention which had been given to thi
treaty had shown it- to be full of defects,
and these were sufficient to Justify the de
mand for a thorough Investigation. Whec
