ANTI MOVE IS FAILURE
Some Hesitate About Appending Sig
natures, Declaring Language la
Not Forcible Enough Clrio
V Bodies Take Action.
HOOD RIVER, Or., March 6. (Spe
cial.) Perhaps never In the history of
Oregon was a publlo representative of
the people more unanimously de
nounced by a community than was Sen
ator Lane by the citizens of Hood River
today. Because of his participation in
the filibuster In defiance of the Presi
dent and killing the armed neutrality
bill, Senator Lane has aroused varying:
expressions of antinethy, disg-ust and
repudiation from the people of this city
and environs. No recent National news
has resulted locally In so profound a
depth of feeling:. Repudiation of Sen
ator Lane was expressed spontaneously
and without solicitation.
D. I. Stone, a white-haired frontier
rancher, whose place is on the head
waters of the west fork of Hood River,
is responsible for a concerted action
on the part of business men and ranch
ers In the city.
Mr. Stone called at the office of the
Hood River Glacier, a local newspaper,
this morning- and asked: "Is anything;
going to be done to shut this man Lane
off? If any paper showing; how we re
sent his action Is groins to be cir
culated I want to sign it."
Two Telegrams Sent.
A number of representative citizens
and Mayor H. L, Dumble, all of them
expressing- a similar sentiment, were
consulted and this afternoon a 200
word telegram to President Wilson and
a brief one to Senator Lane, each signed
by 45 leading- Hood River citizens. Re
publicans and Democrats alike, were
forwarded to Washington. The Ger
mans had prepared beforehand and cir
culated for an hour a petition among
business houses, but were turned down
by all . except offe man. The circula
tion of the documents was unique. In
that each signer was asked for the sum
of 25 cents, a portion of the telegraph
toll.
News of the preparation of the two
telegrams was circulated quickly
through the city, and numerous citi
zens called at the office of the Glacier
that they might add their names to
the list of those protesting Senator
Lane's action.
The Hood River Commercial Club and
the City Council drew up resolutions
of repudiation of Senator Lane tonight.
A Joint meeting of the Republican and
Democratic central committees of the
county has been called for next
Wednesday night, when a formal Joint
resolution directed at Senator Lane is
expected to be adopted.
Commendatory Message Opposed.
Along with the telegrams to Presi
dent Wilson and Senator Lane. It was
proposed this afternoon to send a mes
sage of commendation to Senator
Chamberlain, but opposition to this
was expressed on the ground that it
was not necessary for a man to be
lauded for having done his duty. A
number of private messages, however,
were sent to Senator Chamberlain de
claring that Oregon retained pride re
garding at least one of her United
fetates Senators.
The message to Senator Lane fol
lows: "As Oregonians and loyal
American citizens we note with re
gret and chagrin your act of par
ticipation with the Senate filibuster to
defeat the armed neutrality bill and
embarrass the President. Your action
in this wise, sending abroad the ap
parent false Impression that America
is divided and that President Wilson
in severing diplomatic relations with
Germany lacks the support of the
-people of America, more than any
thing else is drawing the- Nation
closer and closer to war. Your
action does not set well with your con
stituents." The message to President
Wilson opened with the following para
graph: President Is Indorsed.
"As private citizens of the State of
Oregon we wish thus to apprise you of
our repudiation of the act of Senator
Lane In his failure to co-operate with
you as chief magistrate of our Govern
ment in meeting the most serious crisis
the country has faced In recent years.
Senator Lane does not represent the
sentiment of his constituents."
The message expressed the belief of
the signers that the President would be
Justified In proceeding to protect Amer
ican lives on the high seas, following
the act of the filibuster, without
awaiting Congressional action, and end
ed with an appeal for a law providing
for universal training.
Just as he was preparing to open a
session of Circuit Court, the messages
were presented to Judge Bradshaw, of
The Dalles. He signed both, declaring
that all loyal American citizens in the
state must today feel ashamed of the
acts of Senator Lane. Judge Bradshaw
is a Democrat.
Although both signed the telegram.
District Attorney A. J. Derby, Demo
crat, and City Attorney Albert P. Reed,
Republican, expressed unwillingness to
append their signatures to a message
so mild. In signing the message Tru

IDAHO BERATES TWELVE
LEGISLATURE BY RESOLUTION
COXDEHXS FILIBUSTER.
Three Democrat and One Republican
Are Only Opponents of Denunciation
of Neutrality Bill's Foes.
BOISE, Idaho. March 5. (Special.)
The Idaho Legislature today bitterly
condemned the 12 United States Sen
ators who blocked by their filibuster
the passage of the bill seeking to give
the President power to arm American
ships. The resolution was introduced
In the House by two Republicans. Rep
resentatives Miles, of Nez Perce, and
Daughters, of Kootenai.
"We condemn," the resolution says.
In unmeasured terms the attitude of
the 12 Senators, who, by their filibuster
In the Senate of the United States Con
gress, prevented that body from enact
ing measures to uphold the hands oi
the President In the present Interna
tional crisis. This Is not the time for
personal and selfish motives to prompt
the act of members of the National
Congress, thereby throwing a stumbling
block in the way of our Chief execu
tive in his efforts to protect the rights
of American citizens on the high seas,
as guaranteed to them by international
law." .
Only four House members voted
against the resolution: Grlce. of Sho
shone; Hussman, of Idaho; LenrDas, oi
Bannock, and Thorne, of Washington.
The first three are Democrats, the lat
ter a Republican. Grice declared his
opposition to the shipment of muni
tions from the United States to
Europe which resulted In the leaving
of "widows and orphans," he said.
The Hawley County division bill to
create a new county out of Bannock
was defeated by a vote of 17 to 13 in
the Senate. This measure was formei
ly known as Bear River County, but
the name was changed in honor of
James H. Hawley. ex-Governor. The
vote by which the bill was defeated
will be reconsidered today.
SENATOlt GARLAND IS SORRY
Lane Declared to Have Made Serious
Mistake by Filibuster.
LEBANON. Or., March 8. (Special.)
Samuel M. Garland, Democrat and a
forceful member of the Oregon State
Senate, expressed himself on the Lane
filibuster today as follows:
"I deeply regret that Senator Lane
participated in the filibuster against
the armament bill. I know that he is
strongly opposed to our entering the
war and believe his position on this
bill Is. based upon his aversion to war.
I feel that he should have differ
entiated between entering the war and
defending our ships. He seems to have
confused the two positions. He made a
serious mistake. He should have sup
ported the President. The people are
willing to trust the whole matter to the
Judgment of the President.
The comedy of 12 men holding up
Congress may result in a tragedy. The
Senate rule of unlimited debate has
been proved to be silly and vicious. It
doubtless will be changed. The Presi
dent will not be turned from his pur
pose to defend the honor, lives and
property of the Nation. He is all right.'
5DEDFORD IS BITTER AT IjAXE
Several Officials Believe Senator
Should Resign at Once.
MEDFORD, Or., March 5. (Special.)
Condemnation of Senator Lane's part
in the Senate filibuster that defeated
the armed neutrality bill was almost
universal in Medford today. Following
are some signed expressions on the
subject:
"I think Senator Lane's action un
patriotic to a degree and the cause of
state humiliation, as well as National."
G. Putnam. . S
"In a crisis like this It Is the duty of
jlII to stand . by the President, and
'America First.' " J. A. Westerlund.
"My opinion of Senator Lane's action
is unprintable." C. E. Gates, Mayor.
"Senator Lane does not represent the
people, and out of self-respect should
resign." F. L. Touvelle, County Judge.
"I think Senator Lane should be
asked to resign." P. J. Neff.
"Senator Lane has outraged the dig
nity of the state of Oregon' W. E.
Phipps.
"In my Judgment Senator Lane Is
misrepresenting the people of the state
of Oregon to the limit of his ability.'

Marshfield Citizens Say All 12 "Who
Filibustered Should Go.
MARSHFIELD, '.Or., March 6. (Spe
cial.) Expressions here over the suc
cessful filibuster In Congress were all
for the President. Several said the 12
Senators should be - Impeached for
treason. Following were expressions as
to Senator Lane's attitude:
Fred Hollister (North Bend, chairman
of Democratic committee) I do not
favor Senator Lane's stand.
W. J. Rust (secretary of Democratic
committee) Senator Lane seems to
have been againBt the Administration
continually, and I'd expect this of him.
Charles E. Maybee (North Bend,
chairman of Republican central com
mittee) Senator Lane is a long way
off: I dln't think he would take such
a stand.
J. E. Albert Matson (Marshfield mer
chant) I'm with the President in this
crisis, and Senator Lane is through as
a politician.

of the prominent members of the Dem
ocratic Women's Club, of Portland.
"For once In my life. I wish, we had
a National recall law."" said George F.
Alexander, chairman of the Multnomah
Democratic County Central Committee.
"For the 12 Senators who voted
against the President we should have
a hall of infamy and their names should
go on a National roll of dishonor," as
serted A. E. Clark, a member of the
republican campaign committee and
delegate last June to the Progressive
National convention. -
"Senator Lane has failed to reDresent
the people of his state." declared Dr.
J. W. Morrow, a delegate to the Demo
cratic National convention.
His attitude la humiliating:." said C.
W. Fulton. Republican and ex-United
States Senator.
So it went. Again and again the
telephone bells at The Oregonian rang
with calls from citizens who desired
to know if it would be possible to re
call senator Lane.
9500 Offered for Recall Fund.
I will give $500 to the movement if
it can legally be done," said one man,
a very prominent Democrat, who at
tended the last National convention
that renominated President Wilson.
Lx-Senator Fulton, after a careful
analysis of the question, says there is
a aouou but that It seems to be rea
eonaoly clear "that the official term of
a United States Senator being made six
years by the Federal Constitution, can
not be curtailed or a vacancy created
in the office by state legislation or ac
tion." District Attorney Evans and A. E.
Clark Incline to the same view. Still,
as has been said, there is a possible
doubt.
It may be that this doubt will be
taken before the courts to rule upon.
There were reports last night that at
least one recall petition had made its
appearance and was being industriously
circuiaiea, witn many signers.
ins much seems certain: Were It
possible to vote on the recall of Sena
tor Harry Lane, he would be recalled
by a vote of tremendous proportions.
if he sensed the real feeling of the
people of Oregon at his surprising con
duct. Senator Lane would make, a re
call unnecessary by resigning.
The indignation at the Senator's ac
tion is not confined to Portland. From
all corners of Oregon tne wires were
Burdened last night with dispatches
repudiating him as an unfit repre
sentative of the state of Oregon.
Dignity of State Ontrased.
He has outraged the dignity of the
state of Oregon," said W. E. Phipps,
of Medford.
Out of self-respect, he should re
sign," commented County Judge Tou
velle, of Jackson County.
He made a serious mistake, said
Senator Samuel M. Garland, of Leb
anon, one of the Democratic members
of the State Senate.
It is regretable that an Oregon Sen
ator should fall to support the Presi
dent at such a time," declared Circuit
Judge Hamilton, of Rosetmrg. Judge
Hamilton also is a Democrat.
"He will never get another vote of
mine," emphasized C. B. Williams. Dem
ocrat, of Dallas.
Indignation Is General.
These are only typical of the many.
Scores of other persons -voiced their
emphatic disapproval of the course that
Oregon's Junior Senator has pursued.
Following are a few expressions
from Portland Democrats, Republicans
and Progressives as to the attitude of
Senator Lane and the other filibuster
ing Senators, 1en times as many in
terviews could have been obtained
without, difficulty:
Thomas B. Neuhausen, vice-chairman of
Republican campaign committee and ex-
chairman of rroGresslve state committei
Our Government is founded on the rule of
the majority. Certainly the count of 600
to 31 in Congress shows very closely tne
almost unanimous support of the President's
attitude. 1 do not think Senator Lane
represents the sentiment of Oregon In the
slightest degree. 1 do not question his
sincerity, but a Senator should represent the
ideas of his constituents and not his own
ideas.
Milton A Miller, Collector of United States
Internal Revenue In times like this, it oc
curs to me that we should stand patri
otically behind our great President. 1 havs
the utmost confidence in nis suagment.
patriotism and ability. I do not believe
that the United States ever had a Presi
dent who had to face more difficulties and
complex questions than President Wilson,
and 1 believe that he has almost the united
support of the American people behind him.
Gus C. Msser, Republican, and President
of the Oregon Senate In my Judgment.
the position of Senator Lane and those who
acted with mm In the defeat or the bill
is wholly unjustifiable. In the first place.
It seems like a travesty on our Institution
and form of government that the rules of
the Senate should permit a small minority
to defeat the will of an overwhelming ma
jority. In my opinion, a majority should
be permitted to rule, and especially so
when the majority for Is equal to two
thirds or three-fourths. - That 12 men In
the United States should have the power
to thwart the will of the American people,
that the lives and property of bur citi
zens should be - protected upon the high
seas and our honor and Integrity main
tained, seems almost incredible. 1 am sure
Senator Lane and those who stood with
him have misjudged the temper and the
sentiments of the American people.
Frank S. Myers. Portland Postmaster
The thing . is over and past and I don't
see that It would do any good one way or
another for me to make any statement
about It. I am absolutely In favor of chang
ing the rules of the Senate, as they have
been changed in the House, so that un
limited debate cannot prevent a vote be
ing taken.
Lester W. Humphreys, secretary Demo
cratic State Central Committee This Is a
time when all Americans must stand up and
be counted. Those who are not for Amer
ica are against It, and this applies to Sen
ators, too. I feel so strongly about It that
I havs written Senator - Chamberlain offer
ing my services to the country as an of
ficer of Infantry, that being the branch
of the regular service In which 1 served
formerly, in case troops should be called
out. The framers of the Constitution of
the United States unfortunately could not
forsee such a situation as now prevails, and
the crisis calls for united and unqualified
support of the President of the United
States by Senators, Representatives and
citizens of all parties and walks of life.
Charles W. Fulton, Republican and ex
United States Senator The attitude of Sen
ator Lane is most disappointing. Indeed. It
Is humiliating. He did not represent the
real sentiment of the great body of the
Oregon people. This Is no time for quib
bling over small differences. We have but
on President, and he represents this Na
tion in. every controversy., with a .foreign
power. It Is the duty of every good cltl
sen to stand squarely at his back, and he
who falls so to do must loss ths oonfidencs
of his fellow-cltlzens.
Dr. Esther Pohl Love Joy. prominent Demo
crat and member of ths Jackson Club I
don't really feel tike giving any expression
of opinion at this time, although I have
a very strong opinion. There mar be
something about it that we don't under
stand yet. I prefer to reserve as-opinion
until I know .all about It.
Judge Thomas C. Burke. United States
Collector of Customs -The country Is facing
a crisis which loyalty requires should be
faced by the people with an unbroken front
and all faces turned in one direction back
of the President. j
Walter R. Evans Republican and Dis
trict Attorneys Senator Lane cornea of pio
neer Oregon stock, and one would think
he would have an Inborn aversion to shrink
ing from his publlo duty.
Judge Samuel White, chairman Demo
cratic stats central committee 1 feel that
the whole matter Is very, very unfortunate.
This Is no time for Individual opinions when
the welfare of the country required a united
front and patriotic support of the President.
Every Senator and every Representative
should have supported ths President, and
a failure to do so puts the country In a
position whs the world is apt to misun
derstand our attitude. It will cause ths
people In foreign countries, and especially In
Germany, to think we are a divided people,
when in truth and In faet we are not It
la unfortunate that ths 12 Senators could
not have subordinated their private opin
ions. v
Bert E. Haney, ex-chalrman of Demo
cratic state central committee I am not In
accord with Senator Lane's opinion at all
not In any particular. I' think It's his duty
to support the President. That Is the duty
of all the people. 1 don't particularly ob
ject to any Senator exercising bis consti
tutional prerogative of voting against a
measure to back up the President, but I
do say it is reprehensible, and nothing less,
for a Senator or Senators who are hope
lessly In the minority, by recourse to tech
nical rules, to block all consideration of
that measure. Of all the times In the past
20 years when this country has needed a
united front behind the President, this Is
the time, and my feeling - about the little
coterie of Senators who blocked the wheels
and let the impression go abroad that we
are a divided country is not fit to express
in words.
Dr. Elof T. Hedlund. president of the
Jackson Club, a Democratic organization
I am very much disappointed in Senator
Lane. In my belief, the filibuster he helped
make draws us nearer to war. If the Sen
ate had backed the President, the action
would have put the responsibility of war
on Germany, as she would have had to de
clare war If war were declared. As It Is.
If there Is war It will be up to the United
States to declare It first.
Mrs. Helen L Tomllnson, vice-president of
Jackson Club I ve been a Democrat ever
since I was old enough to understand, but
I'm very much ashamed of the misrepresen
tation my native state of Mississippi has been
getting from Senator - Vardaman. I am
doubly ashamed of the way Democrats of
my adopted state of Oregon have been mis
represented by Senator Harry Lane.
George F. Alexander, chairman of the
Democratic County Central Committee I
feel that all the members of the Senate who
opposed the resolutlbn pending there, and
in that way refused to siand by the Presi
dent In a crisis of this kind, are not very
patriotic citizens. That Includes Senator
Lane. Generally speaking. I haven't been
wildly enthusiastic about the recall as pre
viously applied, but for once in my life I
wish we had a National recall.
A E. Clark, who was a delegate to the
Progressive National convention, and later
served on the Republican campaign com

against the President, we should have a
hall of Infamy. Their names should go on
a National roll of dishonor. At this time.
when the world should have been given the
spectacle of a country fully united behind
the President, these men havs adopted a
course wh'ch in effect aligns them with our
enemies. It Is to be regretted that probably
the Federal Constitution protects our Junior
Senator against the recall.
Dr. J. W. Morrow, one of the Oregon dele
gates to the Democratio National convention
The attitude of Senator Lane and those
like mm who held up action In the Senate
Is rld'culous and worse. Senator Lane has
failed to represent the people of this stats.
He Is way in the minority. We ought to re
call him if we can, but I don't really think
tne recall reacnes united states Senators.
But Senator Lane does not- represent the
opinion of the people of Oregon, who feel
strongly and irrespective of party lnes that
tne wnoie country should stand by President
Wilson.

Sentiment among the people of Doug

Dr. George E. Houck (Republican)
senator Lane s action in not support

L Wlmberly (Democrat) Every Sen

the President In this crisis.
J. H. Booth (Republican) This is no
time for bickering. Senator Lane and
the entire country should stand solidly
behind the President.
Judge Hamilton (Democrat) Presi

Dr. A. E. Seely (Republican) It la a

Attorney Dexter Rice (Democrat)
The action of Senator Lane in not fully
