VOTERS' GENERAL DEMAND Chairman Hitchcock Expected to Take Hand In Affair Other Na tional Ffgnrcft Close to Situa tion To Make Hard Fight. Circulation of petitions relieving BtKtoment Republican Legislators from voting for Governor Chamberlain for Senator has not bfn abandoned. Not later than the middle of December these petitions will he circulated gen erally throughout the state. Those who are dirting the anti-Chamberlain campaign, after visiting all sections of the state, report that a general de mand exists among the voters for an c-pportunUy to register their protest against the election of a Democratic Senator by a Republican Legislature from a state that gave Taft a plurality of nearly 2.i.0'0. Originally It was not intended to cir culate these petitions until th senti ment of leading Republicans of the con n try. respecting the unusual situa tion with which Oregon's Legislature ) confronted, could be learned. Kx prerslons from men high In the coun cils of the party are being received and with unvarying regularliy the pos sible election of a Democrat to the Sen ate from tliis state is deplored. While Pretident-elect Tnft may not take any hand directly In the pending fight. Na tional Chairman Hitchcock Is relied on eotn to make a decisive statement on the Oregon Senatorial situation. Many other Republicans who stand close to the Administration are not hesitating to express their opinion. They are unanimously agreed that it would be a serious mistake for as strong a Re publican state as Oregon to submit to any programme which might require Its Republican Legislature to elect a I'nited States Senator from the oppos lng political party. ' These men are i ll prominent In Na tional life .and Insist that the Interests of Oregon require that its Legislators erlously consider the corsequences of electing to the Senate a man from the Democratic party, which stands op posed to every policy advocated and supported by the President-elect, who 1 backed by a Republican Congress. The needs of thiJ state for National legislation, they assert, never were greater, while the chances of receiving favorable consideration are certain to be lessened by sending a Democrat to the Senate. Men behind the movement to bring about Chamberl.iin s defeat believe that In another two weeks public sentiment for the election of a Republican Sena tor mill reach such a stage that peti tions releasing Statement Repuhll.-nns from their pre-election commitments will be called for in practically every county in the state. When that time arrives arrangements will have been perfected fur giving these petitiona vigorous circulation among the voters. The initiative in presenting such pe titions for the signature of voters was taken by the Sell wood Republican Club, which Is said to have acted premature ly and without the advice of the men who are really conducting the fight against Chamberlain's election. For a few days the petitions were circulated, "but In the absence of any organisation or systematic effort, the job was not prosecuted actively and in less than a week was dropped until the movement should be started .simultaneously. 8 YEARS IN PORTLAND, 2 YEARS IN THE LEADING COLLEGES AND HOSPITALS OF EUROPE PERFECT FITTING GLASSES AS LOW AS $1.50 DELEGATION TO MEET TODW Multnomah LepMators Will Con sider Proposed Laws. The meeting of the members of the Multnomah County delegation in the State Legislature, for the nurpose of ef fecting an organisation, will be held in the assembly hali of the Portland Com -mercial Club at J:30 o'clock this after noon. Senator and Representatives elect alike have joined In Uie call for the meeting, desiring that the delegation get on a working basis as soon as possiiie for the consideration of Important legis lation. The Statement members of the delega tion from this county recently organized; ostensibly to consider matters of legis lation, but when It developed that the organization was to be used as a factor In controlling organization or the legis lature, some of Uie delegation demurred. W. J. Clemens, one of the Statement Representatives-elect, from the start re fused to have anything to do with the organization of the Statement members of the House, urging that the controversy as between Statement and anti-state ment members had no place in the matter of organizing either branch of the Leg iylature. Although J. D. Abbott, another state ment Representative-elect, attended the meeting of the Statement organization, he has Insisted that where legislation is to be considered such matters should come before the entire delegation. or that reason he wanted the Statement question obliterated, believing that a divided del egatlon was not - conducive to satisfac tory results as to legislation. Mr. Ah bott In other respects, however, remains as firm a Statement man as ever and declares that nothing will prevent him from voting for Chamberlain for Senator. At the same time he stands with Clem ens In refusing to sign up any pledge that would embarrass his action in par ticipating in the organization of the House. Friends of several of the important legislative matters to be considered bv the Legislature are planning to attend today's meeting of the delegation in the Interest of such measures. However, aside from effecting an organization, it is improbable that the delegation at today's meeting will have much time to devote to discussing bills. These will be taken up at subsequent meetings. 1 IN ORDER FOR 53 YEARS CALLS COMPANY TRUST CLEVELAND-A VEXUE PAVING IS HELD VP. Sister Vincent de Paul to Be Buried Monday. VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 18.
