Unity of Multnomah Repre sentatives Will Decide,- OTHER COUNTIES IN WAITING Bailey Could ' Probably Win if Sup ported at Home, but Kay Hopes 'to' Be Able to Break In the Ring. Will A. A. Bailey. Representative from Multnomah to the Legislature, have the support of the Republican or ganization of this countj' and of its 12 other delegates in the lower house for the Speakership? If so, he can be elected to the leadership of .that body, but not otherwise. Prominent leaders of the organiza tion promised Bailey this county's sup port months ago and on their assurance Bailey went ahead in his quest. Those ame chiefs have since tried to dis Fuade Bailey from making the race, but Bailey has not quit the game. Suf ficient promises of help outside Mult nomah were received by Bailey to make his election reasonably certain, if he were backed up solidly by his own county. The apathy of the organization toward his candidacy has suggested that the leaders of thjrs county's poli tics perhaps have designs on the Presi dency of the Senate which have not been divulged, in spite of apparent wish of those chiefs to stay out of the fight for that place and to take the Presi dency two years hence instead. But if the leadership of the Senate is not to come to a Multnomah man this time, why does this county not take the Speakership when it can do so, and when by announcing the intention to organize the House it might have dissi pated the opposition headed by Repre sentative T. B. Kay, of Marion, who now seems in th lead and in a fair way to win? Multnomah a Puzzle. The passiveness of Multnomah Coun ty in both houses is a puzzle in political circles. It holds the balance of power in both, as -outside Legislators have frequently said when visiting Portland, but seems not to have made up its mind how to assert it, and could probably elect of its own sons, cither the Speaker or the President, without Impairing th chances of Senator Mitchell's re-election two years hence, yet seems desirous of doing neither. The Senators from this county say that they have heard of no plans to elect a "Multnomah man President, and each of the Multnomah Senators who have been boomed occasionally for th leadership of the Senate F. P. Mays. C W. Hodson and Dan J. Malarkey has said he Is not out for the prize. 'In the House delegation the only Multno mah man boomed for the Speakership is Bailey, and his colleagues say they have heard of no other. Representative A. L. Mills some time ago was men tioned for the honor and his actions in the meeting of the delegation last Thursday night, when he was one of the chief spokesmen of the organiza tion, has tended to revive that talk. His demeanor that night was a surprise, since he was not thought to be in close touch with the political powers. All Look to This County. Both Senator Kuykendall, of Lane, and Senator Carter, ot Jaokaon. are counting oa Multnomah votes for the presidency; likewise Representative Kay, of Marion, for the speakership. Mr. Kay claims to have his game surrounded, and to some persons he has said that he already has pledges from a majority of the Republi can members of the House that is, 26. But Bailey has been confident of 15 or 16 votes outside of Multnomah, if he could get this county's 13. Among the Bailey votes would be counted those of the Vaw ter camp in Southern Oregon, for Vawter, an avowed candidate from Jackson and Douglas Counties, and he seem to be nat ural allies. The Vawter votes are under stood to be those of J. S. Gray and H. G. Sonneman. of Douglas; S. B. Hermann of Cooe; D. H. Jackson and H. "Von der Hellen, of Jackson, and "Vawter himself six in all. These the Bailey people have believed would come to their camp, and in addi tion those of such as J. G. Graham, of Marion, who has proclaimed himself an enemy of Kay and a friend of Bailey; James S. Cooper, of Polk and Lincoln; George G. Mayger. of Columbia; J. N. Bramh&U, C. G. Huntley and Frank Jag gcr, of Clackamas; B. C. Miles, of Yam hill; J. L. Stitz, of Harney and Malheur; V. A. Carter, of Benton, and N. C. Mc Leod, of Union ten In all, which, added to Vawter's six, would make 16. Mult nomah's 13 added to the 16 would give Bailey 23, or three more than a majority of the Republican caucuB. Looks Different to Kay. Of course the Kay boomera deny that Bailey could muster that many votes out side Multnomah. Of those Representatives who are obviously for Kay may be cited the following, which includes the Moody contingent in Eastern Oregon, and three Lane : County members, the latter of whom it has been said could be wrenched away to a Multnomah man if this county would support Kuykendall for the presi dency: J. L. Calvert, T. B. Kay, John S. Ritchie and J. H. Settlemler, of Marion, four of that county's Ave; F. D. Cornett, of Linn; L H. Bingham, L N. Edwards and G. W. Griffin, of Lane; W. T. "West, df Tillamook and Yamhill; M. S. Barnes, A. B. Flint and TV. K. Newell, of Wash ington; John S. Shook and R. E. L. Stein er. of Crook, Grant, Klamath and Lake; W. G.
