Ramsdell, of the Univer sity of Texas, who is said to have done the 100 yards in 9 4-5, was a surprise.

In regard to the Statement No. 1 question, now being discussed seriously for the first time, can you tell me what a Republican representa tive in the Legislature who has taken the Statement No. 1 pledge is going to do about his oath that he will be called on to take before he assumes his seat? There Is no question as to the meaning of Statement No. 1. Certain parties, desirous of legislative honors, agreed to vote for the Senatorial candidate receiving the greatest vote. But did they know at that time that they have to qualify before becoming a member of the Legislature by taking an oath to support the Constitution of the United States? Or, if they knew that, how do they interpret that oath? Un der the United States Constitution, the Legislature elects the United States Senator in accordance with the views of the individuals composing the Leg islature. Now, a Republican who is elected as a Republican can hardly say his choice for Senator is a Democrat, but he must so claim. In view of his oath. The United States Constitution was discussed for months when it was framed, and for a man elected to our Legislature to plead ignorance of the fact that the United States Constitu tion Intends the Individuals of the Leg islature to abide by their own honest Judgment In choosing a United States Senator, Is an Indication that the re call ought to be used. When a man takes an oath at the Legislature to use his own honest Judgment as to the political And per sonal fitness of a Senatorial candidate, and when he has declared he is a Re publican and has voted and worked against Governor Chamberlain on po litical grounds, how can he conscien tiously vote for him? That Is what the oath means to use his own hon est judgment. History shows this for one thing, but In addition, the very fact that the Statement No. 1 method is used (instead of having the vote di rect by the people), shows that the in dividuals who prepared the Statement No. 1 plan were aware of the restric tions of the United States Constitu tion. The Statement No. 1 scheme was advocated by the reformer to remove fraud. What does the reformer call an Intentional and aforethought con tempt for an oath to his country? What difference Is there between breaking this oath for votes and break, ing it for money? In short, does a legislator owe allegiance to his coun try and Is he bound by Its laws and the oath he takes, or does he owe no allegiance to his country, being free to construe hia oath anyway he sees fit? The oath of office, to a Repub lican Representative or Senator, Is di rectly contradictory to Statement No. 1. Which one is he going to break? Can you, Mr. Editor, straighten this out? If this position is correct, and the papers seem to say it is, will the United States Senate seat a Senator elected by a manifest abuse of the oath of office ' by the legislators who elected him? If this position is not correct. If the oath to support the Constitution of the United States means that the people elect the Sena tor, then Statement No. 1 is all right. J. C. HENDERSON. 461 Tillamook street. The Senate will seat the man, for It will make no inquiry into the foolery of the methods that preceded his elec tion.

MUST ASK FOR MEDALS Soldiers Serving In Philippines En titled to Bronze Medallions. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash - A. C. Gilbert, of Portland, Who HroKc ia wona's itecora in me Pole Vault Yesterday. t lngton, May 18. Inquiries have been made of Senators and Representatives by soldiers who served in the Philip pines, as to the cause of delay in deliv ering the bronze m'edals which were authorized by the act of June 29, 19J6. Investigation at the War Department discloses the fact that these medals are ready for distribution, but are sent out only upon the application of the soldier. They are distributed by the Quartermaster-General, United States Army, and applications addressed to him here will be promptly honored.

"PuGniETHESieiFFS CULLEX-SCALER BOUT HELD ON PUGET SOUND BOAT. Twenty Rounds Declared a Draw, After Desperate Erforts to Avoid Officers of Three Counties. SEATTLE, Wash., June 6. (Special.) After dodging the Sheriffs of King, Snohomish and Island Counties, Dick Cullen, of Australia, and "Kid" Scaler, of Spokane, went 20 rounds to a draw on the lower deck of the excursion steamer Y'oscmite early this evening. The Yosemite ran circles iu Puget Sound at the Intersection of the three Counties. The fight had been announced to be held In Snohomish County, 15 miles from Seattle, but the Sheriff was on hand and. served notice that It could not take place there. It was then pro posed to hold It in Island County, In the middle of the Sound, but the authori ties were there equally obdurate, and there was no chance in King County, where the lid has long been oil. So a 15-foot ring was erected on deck. Although it was pulled off under dif ficulties, the spectators saw a rattling good fight. Cullen, when the decision was announced, attempted to .resume hostilities. While the edge was Scal er's on in-fighting, Cullen outpointed the Spokane boy on boxing and finished exchanges. Neither man was at any time in danger of a knock-out, and both finished strong. Not a knock down was scored during the entire en gagement. Goes East for Prisoner. W'ALLA WALLA, Wash.. June 6.

GEARHARDT TAKES THE 220 Xo Records Are Lowered, but Good Time Is Made In All Events. Oregon Second and Olym pic Club Third. (Continued from Page 1. Section 1.) for the finals in the 100, but evidently decided to leave the race in Smithson's hands and save himself for the longer sprints. Huston's victory gives him a clean sweep of every event of the kind in the Northwest for the present sea son, and leaves no question as to his title as the champion entry In the 100 yard dash for 1S08. The victory of Gerhardt In the 220 yard run came as a surprise to many of the wise ones, who figured either Martin or Malcolmson as the most probable winner and the time to be at most 22 seconds. The night previous to the race Gerhardt announced that he would win, if the event was run in two-fifths of a second slower, and his prophecy was realized. Gcrhardt's vic tory in the 220 was a most popular one. judging from the applause he received .when, the announcement was made. In this event the Callfornian had a slight advantage In securing an outside lane at the start. The Inside course, drawn by Malcolmson, the Montana whirl wind, running under the colors of the Seattle Athletic Club, was sandy at the start and furnished poor footing for the Seattle mans' get-away. Gain9 on the W inner. Despite this handicap, Malcolmson gained steadily on the San Franciscan, and had the route been 10 yards longer, would probably have overhauled the winner. The tow-headed lad ran a splendid race and many of his admir ers were greatly disappointed when he failed to capture the event, and sym pathized with him when they learned of the bad start he secured. The performance of Forrest Smith son in the 120-yard hurdles was the most remarkable event of the meet, and came nearer to equalling a record than any other event. The course of this event was practically straightaway, and bad it not been for the slight turn at the finish, after the runner had leaped the last hurdle, he would un doubtedly have equalled the world's record of 15 1-5 seconds. Smithson's time in this event was 15 2-5, a most remarkable showing, considering the fact that Smithson had strained a ten don earlier in the meet. The attending trainers and physicians bound the Multnomah star's leg to hold the mus cles in place, and he continued in the meet. Seattle Takes Low Hurdles. The next sprinting event of importance was the 220-yard hurdles. This event went to Seattle, . for Malcolmson. after running second to Browdie of Multnomah In the second trial heat, came to the front in the strongest manner and cap tured the final in 26 1-6 seconds on the somewhat slow track. The Seattle man took things easy In his trial heat and when the final event was called, was In splendid trim. He forged to the front at the start and kept the lead nicely, leaping his hurdles accurately, and went through the entire course without tip ping a barrier. Little Bherle Kuykendall, the University of Oregon competitor, proved as game a stayer as was Malcolm son, and when the latter breasted the tape, the Eugene lad was close behind. Andy Glarner, another California veteran, proved the victor in the half mile event, but was spiked in the heel while attempting to cut In ahead of one of his competitors. On that account he failed to- start in the mile run. In the half mile event Glarner, who will bs remembered as the victor in the middle distance events held here during the Lewis and Clark Exposition, had com paratively easy going, for Davolt, who finished second, made no effort to close the gap opened by the Californian. Davolt seemingly was content to take second place, which he was as sure of as was Glarner of his position. Glarner won this event in the slow time of 2:04, and then reilred until the quarter mile event was called. Mile Goes to Davolt. In the meantime, the mile run was called and four started. As a general rule, the long-distance runs are not often closely contested, but the finish between Davolt, of Multnomah, and Smith, of the Seattle Athletic Club, was so close that many of the specta tors were inclined to take issue with the judges when Davolt was an nounced as the winner. Davolt won without any question, although the strong spurt by the Seattle youngster made It appear as though he had passed the Multnomah man at the fin ish line. This little fellow from Puget Sound is a good runner, and his per formance against the older and more experienced runners is worthy of praise. Gammle. of Multnomah, took third place without opposition, for the other starters dropped out before the last lap. Glarner tried for the honors In the quarter-mile, and in spite of his sor.5 heel, set the pace for a goodly part of the distance. His foot pained him con siderably, however, and Greenhaw, of Multnomah, who had kept directly be hind the Callfornian up to the stretch, spurted beautifully and gained the lead, which Glarner was unable to overcome. Glsh, of Seattle, hooked third place by a strong spurt at the finish. One Club in the Relay. The relay race for the seniors was a disappointment, as the two Multnomah Club teams were the only contestants. Malcolmson, Glsh and Clark, of Seattle, were the only men on hand from that club and, as four were required, their team could not enter. The Olympic Club and Oregon each lacked two run ners. The fcvent was won by the Mult nomah quartette composed of Martin, Davolt. Humphries and Greenhaw. Previous to the senior relay the big crowd was aroused to a high pitch of enthusiasm by the races between the grammar school lads and the high school and academic teams. The little fellows entered Into the spirit of the thing with much enthusiasm. The team representing the Hawthorne School took first place and carried off the cup offered by Multnomah. The Haw thorns Schonl team is composed of strongly-built lads who promise to be come stars on the cinder path if they keep in the sport. Professor Robert Krohn, physical director of the public schools, was most enthusiastic over this, portion of the field meet. The boys ran the four-fifths of a mile In the excellent time of 3 minutes 9 J-5 seconds. The high school relay was a pretty race for the first two laps, but after that the Tacoma High School boys forged ahead, and when their col ored relay took up the last lap. he spurted around the track so fast that the others were left far behind when he crossed the tape. The Columbia 1'nlverslty relay entries then fought It out with their old-time rivals from Portland Academy, and tne latter team won second place by an exceedingly narrow margin. Multnomah Captures Weights. Multnomah captured a majority of the points in the weight events, and also showed fairly well In tile Jumps. Carl Wolff and S. B. Hall took the 16 pound shot and hammer events. Bant a. of Seattle, took the honors in the dis cus, when he heaved the weight 121 feet, 9 Inches. Wolff won the shot put with a toss of 41 feet. 11 inches. Hall's throw of the hammer was 140 feet, 6 Inches. Eberle Kuykendall. of the University of Oregon, took first place In the broad jump, with a leap of 21 feet. 1H4 inches.
