Absence of the Sack Reduces strength
of the Third House.
Salem. Jan. 27. (Special Corresptmd-
ence)-The fart that th "third hawse"
Is not well represented or organized tn
Salem this year Is th cause for the
apparent lack of Interest In the sena
torhtl contest. The absence of the
"sack" explains the absence of many
old-tlnio members of the lobby.
Whllu there Is not much surface ex-
rltement over the senatorial contest
the Fulton managers are confident of
uceess and predict that tho a ill land
their man this week. He rtow has 34
votes, Including his own, and expects
accessions from eastern Oregon of six
and one from Lincoln county, giving
him 41. It is believed that, when these
men leave Gecr. one or two of the Mar
ion county delegation will vote for Ful
ton. It Is well known that there are
at least six of th Multnomah delega
tion favorable to Fulton and prefer him
to any other man. The question Is,
fan the anti-Fulton contingent from
Multnomah county keep the forces to
ge'.her? It Is the concensus of opinion
if Fulton falls of election, that his sup.
port will go to Jonathan Bourne, glv
Ing Multnomah a United States sen
ator that It does not want.
Whllo the number of bills Introduced
is considerably less than two years
ago, thero are enough already before
both houses to kep them busy until the
end of the session. The bills of in.
terest to Clatsop county arc the New
Astoria bill, the Seaside charter bill
Halm's bill giving boat pullers a lien
upon the gear upon which they fish
or perform labor; Carnahan's bill to
nhollsh the poll tax; to extend the term
of county assessors to four years, and
requiring county and state officials to
give bonds In some surety company,
provided the surety company flies Its ar
tides of Incorporation In the office of
the secretary of state.
The Astoria charter bill, with Its poll
tax annex, has not made Its appear
nee. There will be opposition to
the poll tax clause, for, as Frule, It is
claimed candidates will Ijave to pay the
poll tax In order to get voters to vote
A large number of voters do not relish
the Idea of paying one dollar for the
privilege of voting, and it will mater
Inlly reduce the total vote of Clatsop
county, possibly resulting In the loss of
a representative when the state is re
dtstrloted. Jo action has yet been taken relative
to Governor Chamberlain's recom
mendation to abolUh the office of
health officer at Astoria, but a bill has
beert Introduced creating a state board
of heallh,' which will probably abolish

that Germany had threatened to pub
