Assembly Act at Om,
A companion measure. Identical in
phraseology, probably will pass the As
sembly tomorrow and will be signed
by Governor Johnson after "a reasona
ble time" has elapsed In which to hear
possible protests from President Wil
son, who has requested the respite.
In the closing hours of the debate
partisanship was lost sight -of. Demo
crats and Progressives, voted tog-ether
la response to what they took to be
the almost unanimous demand of the
people of California. Their only dif
ference in the end was over the ques
tion of whether the bill was drastic
enough.
The futility of Secretary . Bryan's
mission waa shown In the vote of his
own party. Nine of the ten Demo
crats voted contrary, to the advice
which ha brought from President Wil
son, while not a single Progressive
yielded to his eloquence.
Cartwrlght Opposes to Had.
Senator Cartwrlpht 'sang the swan
song; of the minority.
"It la evident from the several roll
calls.'" ha said, "that the Senators are
not voting- independently, but in a spirit
of partisanship. The whole thins; Is
a programme and we can't stop it.
"It is probable that I shall be the
lone figure in this body to vote against
this bill, knowing what the people of
this state demand, but I shall know
that I voice the thinking; sentiment of
the state.
' "You are acting- at the behest of the
Governor. There is no disguising that.
After yielding in 1907 and 1911. wt
legislation similar to this was
smothered under pressure from Wash
ington, you are now about to pass this
legislation under pressure from the ex
ecutive mansion.
Tou are following the leader the
boss, as they used to say and follow
ing him meanly and servilely. But in
so doing you are dragging him down
to the level of cheap politics. There Is
not a man on this floor who dares say
that these members would vote as they
are about to vote tonight If another
were in the President's chair at Wash
ington." Democrats Favor Bill.
The Democrats disclosed their plans
and their purposes even before many
of their amendments were offered.
"We are going to vote for your bill
regardless of the form In which you set
It before us," cried Senator Campbell.
Iemocrat. In the early part of the de
bate. "The Senate la attacked before
us. we know that. But In the end we
are for the bill, because we want an
alien land law."
When the Senate met last night. Sen
ator Wright. Republican, offered an
amendment embodying another of Sec
retary Bryan's recommendations, name
ly, the Illinois law, which applies alike
to all aliens, regardless of their eligi
bility to citizenship, and permits own
ership for six years.
"Vo'i have repudiated President Wil
son's sdvice onee." shouted Wright to

Although scientists accept the fact that

BT ADDISON BENNETT.
Three score and ten years ago yes
terday the birth of civil government
on the Pacific Coast of the North
American continent took place at a
little hamlet called Cbampoeg, on the
banks of the beautiful 'Willamette. 20
miles above Oregon City. On the sec

habitants of the Willamette Valley not
only ushered- into the Oregon country
a government founded on law and or

back to the time when John McLougb
lln was sent out from England by the
Hudson's Bay Company to establish a
trading post at the mouth of the Co
lumbia. His title was Chief Factor,
and having absolute control of the com
pany's affairs on the Pacific he decided
that he would look around a bit, not
liking the Astoria section because there
was but a trifling amount of land free
from timber. So he inspected various
places up the river and finally found
the site he was looking for at Van
couver, that Is, at the present site of
Vancouver, Wash.
There he found an open country, and
he wished to keep cattle and hoga and
sheep and have growing crops and ver

WASHINGTON, May 2. The Demo
cratic majority went ahead with the
tariff revision in the House again to
day without a serious hitch. There
were innumerable amendments emanat
ing from the minority, but they were
voted down with monotonous regular
ity. The discuasion opened with citrus
fruits, in the agricultural sohedule, the
Faciflc Coast growers waging an un
successful fight against cutting of. the
tariff on lemons, figs, raisins and dried
grapes and other Coast products. Ef
forts to Increase the proposed duty
on peanuts to give better ' protection
to the Virginia industry also fell
through. The schedule covering spir
its, wines and other beverages went
through without dissent, but consid
erable fight was made by the repre
sentatives of textile districts when the
cotton schedule was reported.
Debate Becomes Personal. ,
Many of the speeches really dealt
with the paragraphs of the tariff un

tics and partisan personalities fea
tured the debate. Representative
Thomas, of Kentucky, had a few
things to say about the Republicans
personally.
Representative Thomas .called the
Progressive party a "patent Ipedlclne

Representative Payne, of New York,
for reflecting on President 'Wilson, be

ELECTION DAY TOLD IX A
NUTSHELL.
Polls will open at 8 A. M. and
will close at 7 P. M.
All registered voters are en
titled to vote for or against the
proposed charter, regardless of
party affiliation.
Unregistered persons may vote
for their party or on the pro
posed charter by filling In blank
"A," for which application must
be made to the Judge of election,
and by being sworn in by six
freeholders.
All voters must vote for their
party affiliation candidates, if
at all.
Persons desiring any informa
tion regarding polling places or
anything else concerning the elec
tion, should telephone the City
Auditor, Marshall 4100 or A 6601.
The count on ballots will be.
first, the charter: Republican,
Democratic, Progressive.
Chief interest in the primary nomi
nating election of today centers in the
proposed charter and the mayoralty
contests between A. G. Rushlight and
Gay Lombard on the Republican side
and H. R. Albee and Dan Kellaiier, the
Progressive candidates.
The charter Is a document compiled
by ten citizens, appointed by George L.
Baker, upon orders of Mayor Rush
light, who at the time was absent from
the city, Mr. Baker being then the
acting Mayor. At the outset it had
smooth sailing, practically every can
didate being In favor of It, but three
weeks ago Gay Lombard attacked it
on the ground that it is not a commis
sion draft, but a "wolf in sheep's
clothing." He has been fighting it
ever since and many others have
joined in a general assault on It.
Socialists Voice Opposition.
Mayor Rushlight and his friends, to
a large degree at least, have pro
claimed In favor of the proposed char
ter. The Mayor came out unequivo
cally in its favor last week and has
been voicing his sentiment ever since.
James McGulre, at present a Council
man from the Tenth Ward, is the only
other Mayoralty candidate who is
openly opposing the charter. As a
party, the Socialists voted unanimous
ly against the charter, on the ground
that It does away with party desig
nations and therefore forever shuts
them out as a party.
The proposed charter. If adopted,
will revolutionize the city's legislative,
administrative and executive depart
ments. In place of all boards, com
missions and officials, it will Install
a Mayor, four Commissioners and an
Auditor, the Mayor's salary to be 6000
a year; the. Commissioners' J3000 each
and the Auditor not less than $3600;
they must devote their entire time to
the work. They are to have, general
charge of all departments. The Mayor
and Commissioners are' to have full
executive, legislative and administra
tive functions.
Lombard . Firet la Field.
Rivaling, if not equaling, in interest
the proposed charter is the fight be
tween Gay Lombard and Mayor Rush
light for the Republican nomination
for Mayor. Mr. Lombard was the first
to announce himself for tbe race and
has been conducting a campaign for
several months. Mayor Rushlight,
who is serving his first term as chief
executive of the city, came out for
renomlnatlon upon his return from
a wedding trip about six weeks ago.
Mr. Lombard has openly charged mis
management. Inefficiency and gross ex
travagance against the Rushlight ad
ministration in his public speeches
every night for three weeks, while Mr.
Rushlight and some of tbe members of
his Executive Board and other friends
have been hurling charges that Mr.
Lombard profited by organizing a bond
ing company when he was a member of
the City .Council.
James Magulre, their rival for the
Mayoralty, declares that he is the only
candidate who is rightfully entitled to
the votes of all good citizens.
Liquor Questlom Injected.
Quite a spirited contest has been
waged between Mr. Albee and Mr.
Kellaher for the Progressive nomina
tion for Mayor. Mr. Albee was the
first in the race for this party's favor.
Mr. Kellaher has encountered some
trouble over the fact that he is en--gaged
in the liquor business, this fea
ture having been brought into the care
by a meeting of women, held recently,
where Mr. Albee was the speaker. Mr.
Albee declined to make a dtrct answer
to a woman's question as to whether It
were true that Mr. Kellaher sells liquor
at his Grand-avenue grocery store. He
