Newspaper Page Text14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1904. CAUSES H STIR Hall's Choice Sets Poli ticians. Agog. BIDTHE SENATORS AGREE? Gossips Wonder but Solons Make Vigorous Denial. THEY 'NEVER .INDORSED HIM Senator Mitchell ays He Loyally Ad vanced the Claims of J. C. More land Fulton Recommended No One to President. Reappointment of John H. Hall for United States District Attorney has set gossips to "wondering whether the Ore gon delegation In Congress did not pri vately recommend Mr. Hall over the other aspirants and tacitly acquiesce to his se lection, but both Senator Mitchell and Senator Fulton declare that nothing of the kind was done. The Senators say em phatically that to their knowledge no member of the delegation recommended any person for the place or discussed Mr. Hall's candidacy with the President pr any official of the Department of Justice. Reports have been circulated to the ef fect that Mr. Hall's appointment was made on recommendations long on file in Washington: that the Department was as sured last Spring that the Senators would consent to his selection, but that the choice should not be announced until after the Oregon election last June, and then the Presidential election; that the Sena tors wished to give the place to G. C Brownell, but decided that It was inad visable to try? that before Congress ad journed the Attorney-General had in formed the Senators he desired Hall's re tention and that they fcad consented to It, and that the entire delegation had in dorsed Hall before its famous meeting in the Portland Hotel after returning from Washington. Delegaton Recommended. No One. All these details are denounced by both Senators as false. "The delegation recommended nobody to the President jot the Attorney-General," said Senator Pulton last night, "for the simple reason that It had not agreed on a man. Last Winter we decided in Wash ington thai Mr. Hall ought to be- retained until after the land fraud cases were tried. At that time we did not know the trials would be so long deferred. Last .lummcr when It looked as if the cases would not come to trial for some time we endeavored to agree on a recommenda tion. At our meeting- in the Portland Hotel we took as many as a dozen ballots, in which the vote stood 3 to 1. I cast my vote for several men, including Percy Kelly, of Albany: B. L. Eddy, of Tilla mook, and Mr. Hall, and the three other members voted steadily for Judge More land. Mr. BYownell. whom T once sup ported for the place, withdrew a year ago. "At no time did I ever discuss the ap pointment of any person with the Presi dent or Attorney-General or any officer of the Department of Justice, except once last Winter in a casual way with the Attorney-General when It was remarked be tween us that Mr. Hall should be retained until the land-fraud cases were tried.' Senator Mitchell Indignant. Senator Mitchell was indignant when the stories of the gossips were recited to him. Jumping up from his seat he de clared, sternly: ! "I made no recommendations, nor did I place any on file for Mr. Hall or anyone else. If there were any on file I know nothing of them. X can say with all can dor and truthfulness tha Z- never had one word with any official of the Department of Justice or with the President relating to the reappointment of Mr. Hall or the selection of anyone else. "Though I favored Judge Moreland. of course "it was not proper for me to place any recommendation on file for him or anybody else so long as we had not agreed." "Did you ever ask that the appoint ment be deferred until after the June election?" was asked. "I never asked any such thing directly or Indirectly, either of the President or of any official of the Department of Jus tice." Senator Mitchell continued: Loyal to Judge Moreland. "Prom first to last I was In hopes that the delegation would recommend Judge Moreland. But as the delegation had been unable to agree. I certainly would say nothing on the subject to the President or to any official of the Department of Justice, nor did I ever do so. I never had any hostility to Mr. Hall and was aware that he had made a good officer. .yet I had given my pledge to another and I believed it my duty to stand by him so long as there was any hope of an agreement. I had not given up that hope when the re appointment of Mr. Hall, was anonunced." Brownell Withdrew From Race. As to the report that the delegation had convinced Itself It would be Impossible to "land" Brownell. Senator Mitchell 6aid: "That is not true, nor is It fair to Mr. Brownell. For one, I never reached any such conclusion nor do I believe my col league did. On the contrary, Mr. Brow nell withdrew his application for. the place more than a year ago. Again, he did not expect my support for he was aware of my promise to Judge Moreland." The story that the delegation had agreed to the reappointment of Hall, after ad journment of Congress Senator Mitchell denied as follows: Never Indorsed Hall. "I never consented to Mr. Hall's reap pointment either at the meeting held at Portland or at any other place, and It is not true that he was indorsed by the del egation. "Mr. Hall and I have been personal and political friends many years. Nobody un derstood better than he that I was giv ing my earnest and undivided support to Judge Moreland. While I know Mr. Hall has been an efficient officer, I also know Judge Moreland to be an able lawyer and In all respects worthy of the place. He has been a faithful and Influential worker for the party and he was indorsed for the place by many of -the foremost men In Oregon." lumped Head Against Street-Car. Frits Arbuster will not try to ride his' wheel across tracks Just before the street car comes along until he recovers from a .cut he received yesterday on the forehead. At Union and Tillamook avenues young Arbuster. aged 11. living at 400 Tillamook .avenue, tried to run down car No. 30 go ing to Vernon, and he came out very well. All he received was a cut of an inch and a half and the knowledge that cars are -made of hard material. Tesa Jr. Kadley la -very attentive to you. 1 ufpo coBsratuIsllons will soon fee In order.
