Washington County Senator
Dr. W. I). Wood. State Senator
for Washington County, is in the
race for the presidency of the
Senate when the legislature shall
convene in January. Senator
Wod has been elected Lr the
th'rd time, and has been one of
the economical members of the
upper house. He has done vet
eran service in attempting to
keep down appropriations, and
the honor of presiding over the
deliberative and legislative body
has been well earned. Senator
Wood is quoted:
"The multiplicity of candidates
for President of the Senate has
complicated matters. I regard
the claims put forth by some of
my competitors as extravagant,
for as 1 view it no one of the
aspirants is anywhere near hav
ing the honor sewed up.
I have this from personal inter
views with about half the sena
tors, and from correspondence
with most of the others.
1 have received assurances of
support and much encourage
ment of my own candidacy. If
I had no other claim for this
honor. 1 believe tny seniority of
service alone should entitle me
to the presidency of the Senate.
1 have been elected from
Washington County for the third
successive time, with more than
1700 votes to spare, which of it
self is not an empty honor. My
ambition is to round out my 12
years of service by receiving
from my fellow Senators, for
once only, the highest honor
they have to bestow, that of be
ing president of the Senatu.
The people are exacting and
expecting good work from this
Legis'ature, and from what I
know of the personnel of the
Senate. I believe it stands ready
and willing to do its part"
Senator Wood first entered the
Senate in the session of 1909, and
has been there continuously
since. He has been a member
of the ways and means commit
tee at each of the four sessions
but one, and was also a member
of the committee on municipal
affairs.
The other three senators who
have announced themselves for
president are Gus C. Moser, of
Multnomah; C. L. Hawley, of
Polk, and B. L. Eddy, of Doug
las county.

at Portland concluded he had
gone South, and notified South
ern Oregon sheriffs.

be the only combatant of that
name, for Jack Willard, of Tual

Colene. formerly Miss Austin.
has sued for divorce. She al
leges they were married in Port
Innd. in 1908. and thev have two
boys, Chester and Lester, aged 8
and 4 years. She says that in
1904 he threatened her life, and
told her she was about to "take
a long journey and not come
back," and that in 1911 he kick
ed her out of bed because the
baby cried. On October 23 ot
this year, the complaint. says, he
tolH her to leave Portland. Tual
atin and Oregon at once, or she
wouldn t be atile to leave, fcne
wants the custody of the two
hovs and nravs for an iniunction
to keep him from visiting her, as
she tears him.
Senntor Chamberlain departed
for the East Sunday night, and
before leaving stated that he
would introduce a measure in
Congress asking that the consti
tution ot the U. S. be amended
so as to allow the people of the
country to elect presidents by
popular v,ote. His reason is t hat
a minority vote candidate might
be elected when a large majority
voted for the defeated candidate.
In the present election he cites
where Wilson received 400.000
plurality of the vote, and a few
thousand votes in California
could have defeated him and
elected Hughes, thus setting
aside the popular will. If the
amendment passes Congress,
each state to the two-thirds must
ratify it. and this will be easily
accomplished.
