Developments came rapidly yester

lock for the past couple of weeks, with
five candidates in the field.

Majority. Pleased to Him for
President of State Senate.
the first, made the positive announce
ment that he now has 17 votes pledged
to his candidacy for President.
Coincidentally, Senator Conrad P.
Olson, also of Multnomah, who has been
a candidate for President since early in
the race, announced his withdrawal.
"In withdrawing'," said Senator Olson,
"I do so because I believe it is to the
best interests of the Senate and the
Legislature that this controversy over
the Presidency of the Senate should be
settled before the session begins.
"When the result remains in doubt
up to the opening' of the session. It
takes several days to get down to
business afterward and the work of the
session consequently is retarded.
Ao Recommendation la Made.
"I wish to express my sincere thanks
to those Senators who have given me
their support. In releasing them from
supporting me, I have no recommenda
tions to make."
With Senator Olson's withdrawal. It
Is understood that Senator T. B.
Handley, of Tillamook County, who has
been considered an Olson supporter,
will go to Mr. Moser.
"I now have 17 votes pledged to my
candidacy," said Senator Moser last
night, "and in a few days expect to
be able to announce several more. As
only 16 votes are necessary to elect,
my election as President of the Senate
Is assured. '
"In making this announcement I am
Including only those Senators who have
absolutely pledged me their votes, and
Republican Senators. I am not count
ing a single Democrat, though I have
every reason to believe that I am the
choice of several of the five Democratic
Senators.
Vnanlmons Vote Expected.
"I am not yet ready to give out the
names of my supporters, but I will say
that by Monday or Tuesday I expect
to be able to announce the pledges of
several additional Senators. After that,
I expect my election to become unani
mous." The withdrawal of Senator Olson
leaves Senators Wood, of Washington;
Hawley, of Polk, and Eddy, of Doug
las, opposing Senator Moser.
The contest for Speaker of the House
continues to be a warm one. Friends
of Robert N. Stanfield, of Umatilla
and Morrow counties, maintain that he
has more than enough votes pledged to
elect him without difficulty. On the
other hand, suporters of Louis E. Bean,
of Lane County, continue to work vig
orously. Arthur K. Peck, of Coos County, an
nounced yesterday that he would sup
port Mr. Bean.
"It seems to me that the issue of
sectionalism is entering this contest
when Mr. Stanfield is said to have the
united support of Eastern Oregon,"
asserted Mr. Peck. "Consequently, as
Representative from Coos County. I
shall support the Willamette Valley
candidate, Mr. Bean."
