' "We have not the powr to dictate to the states as to the qualifications of their representatives here." he said. "It would be Interesting to know under what power we could direct the states In the matter of the election of Sen ators. It Is for the statea to say whether they will send Representatives at all. There seems to be an Idea that somewhere there exists some mystic power to keep Government alive even after the people cease to act." Mr. Borah treated the Sutherland amendment as a device to kill the res olution, declaring It to be a bulwark from behind which the measure might be shot to death. Young Criticises Iowa Insurgent!. Young, of Iowa, complained of ills failure to get the. Legislature of Iowa to submit the pending Sena torial election In that state to a popular vote. II said that the pro gressive element in the. Republican party. which Is led In Iowa by Cummins and of which Borah is a member, had directed this policy. "I speak as a friend of the proposi tion." said Young. "I am glad to welcome another con vert." replied the Idaho Senator, good naturedly. I appeal to the Senate." Young went on. "to regulate a Legislature which la the State of Iowa for a month has de clined to submit a Senatorial election to the people " Young attributed his failure to "the political uplift." which, he said, had "Its hsnd on the lid." Borah accepted this condition as an evidence of the fact that the Iowa Sen ator's loyalty to popular elections Is suspected by those who have tnelr "hands on the lid." and Toung Insisted that the "uplift" Senators should prac tice what they preach. "Iowa Is not In my Jurisdiction," responded Borah, "but the system has been practiced In my state. I would not have bean here without it and naturally I have a great affection for the bridge that carried ma over." The deadlocks In New York. Iowa, Colorado and Montana, and the condi tion In Illinois, which" in connection with th Lorlmer rase, baa been brought Into the Senate aa an after math, were pointed to by Borah as corroborative ofhis contention that an Improvement could be brought about through popular elections.

Feb. 1. Senator Bourne al most succeeded in his attempt today tn bringing about rejection of the nomi nation of Philip S. Malcolm aa Collector of Customs for Oregon, but hla little arheme waa nlnned In the bud by Presi dent Taft. who withdrew Malcolm' nomination two minutes before the Henat went into executive session. This left Bourne up In the air and made It lmDossible for the Senate to taae any action whatever. Incidentally it left Malcolm In statu quo. When the committee met this morn Ing suggestions were made to Bourne that he had held up Malcolm's nomina tion long enough, and should be pre pared to act one way or another. Sev eral Senators hinted that Malcolm should be confirmed unless Bourne was prepared to show good reason for con trary action. "Obnoxious," Says Bourne. Bourne thereupon declared that Mai colm was "personally obnoxious" to him and on that ground he asked the committee to make an adverse report To hia surprise, several Senators were curious to know how and wherein Mal colm waa obnoxious, for they had re ceived word that Malcolm was regarded in Oregon as one of the most substan tial cltlxens. a man of highest char acter and unquestioned ability. Bourne steadfastly refused to make any ex planation, and his only answer to all Inquiries was that "Malcolm is per sonally obnoxious to me." Seeing that Bourne did not propose to go beyond this bare assertion, tne committee decided it was bound by the unwritten rule of the Senate, and re luctantly authorized Bourne to make an adverse report. Late this afternoon the President heard what had transpired In commu te) and promptly dispatched hla sec retary to the Senate with a notification that lie had withdrawn Malcolm's nom ination. He did this in order to head off adverse action by the Senate, for the same rule that governed the com mittee would have governed the Sen ate, as there was no way to force Bourne to show down. His mere state ment that Malcolm wss personally ob noxious would have been enough to bring about Malcolm's rejection. Bourne was on hand throughout the afternoon, waiting for the Senate to go into executive session, so anxious was he to get Malcolm out of the way. and It waa not until the Senate had gone into executive session that he learned that Malcolm's nomination had been withdrawn. It was then too late to make his adverse report, for there was nothing on which to report. The withdrawal of Malcolm's nomi nation accomplishes two things: It saves Malcolm from the humiliation of havfhg his nomination rejected by the Senate, and It restores to him the status he occupied before his name waa sent to the Senate. He can now continue In office at the pleasure of the President, under his original appointment, or If the President Is so disposed, he can give him a recess appointment after Congress adjourns. Malcolm and Col well Stay On. No statement was obtained at the White House as to what plan the Presi dent will follow, but clearly it is with in his power to retain Malcolm In of fice by successive appointments, no long as he does not send the nomina tion to Senate. In this connection it should be stated that Marshal Elmer Colwell occupies exactly the same position as does Mal colm, In that it Is within the power of the President to retain him In office indefinitely. Inasmuch as the Senate revoked Its adverse action on his nomi nation. Had Malcolm's nomination been rejected today, it would have been incumbent on the President fo name a new collector of customs, as he would have been obliged to name a new mar shal, had not the Senate reconsidered its adverse vote on Colwell's nomina tion. But, aa the record stands. Mal colm continues in office under hts origi nal commission and Colwell's recess appointment holds good until March 4. If the President decides to retain Col well he must give him a recess ap pointment Immediately after March 4, which will be good to the close of the next session of Congress, but Malcolm, It Is believed, will not need another ap pointment to permit him to continue. Secret Joy Fill Capitol. Bourne, -In securing adverse reports on Malcolm and Colwell. abuaed the privilege extended to all members of the Senate by an unwritten rule, for his objection to both men was political and not personal. Senators generally were aware that he had not dealt frankly In these cases, and there Is no weeping at the Capitol over the fact that the President has won two vic tories over Oregon's senior Senator. While today's proceedings In the commerce committee were In execu tive session. It Is understood that Mal colm's high standing In Masonic cir cles had become known ' to several members of the committee and refer ence to this fact was made by Sena tors who were In favor of his con firmation. At any rate, when Bourne emerged from the commerce commit tee with authority to report Malcolm adversely, he was overheard to say: "I never knew before that the fact that a man holds the 33d degree In Masonic circles entitled him to hold a Federal office." Senator Chamberlain did not Join Bourne In opposition to Malcolm, OREGON TO GET WAR CLAIMS Hawley Secures MacVeagh's Approval, but Congress Mont Act. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Feb. 18.
