"Indeed they have; It haa been a wide-open town In the fullest sense of the term. There were gambling games everywhere, and that means dishonesty, , for it is mighty hard to run an honest .'gambling game.

"Were the mayor,, the chief of police ando ther city officers cognisant of tha nnnriitlntm that xited?" 'Were they? Well I .should say so f It la an acknowledged fact that the offi cers have been "getting a rake-ofl for, their btfndness, and It la no wonder the ' better element finally rebelled.

"The reason for this Is plain., People will not come to a city and make their homea there when that place is so foul it smells to heaven. That la why the better element wants the city cleaned."

He laid- great stress upon the fact that the people of the state have jiamed him their choice for Senator. He said; "The 'spirit of the American Government demands that the popular will shall be observed. The people of a state ought to be supreme. Every, member of the Legislature who votea for Governor Geer today will be voting for one of the eternal principles of popular government." He- presented strong reasona why he should be elected.

He declared that his own county had given a large vote for Geer, yet this did not express their real sentiment When Eddy pro ceeded to nominate Charles W. Fulton, declaring him the real choice of the people and ably qualified , for the high office, there was an enthusiastic demon stratiorf by members who have been supporting him. Senator Pierce of Umatilla, in behalf of the Democratic members, presented the name of "That brave soldier, that brilliant statesman, that able orator, Hon. C. E. S. Wood." He made caustic reference to the evident intention of the majority of the Republican members to disregard the expression of popular choice and warned them that- such a course would surely end In. the people hurling them from power.. , Xesult No Surprise. - The result of the Joint ballot was no surprise. It haa long been Known tnat both Webster and Huntley would , go over to" Fulton early In the fight and there waa Uttlo doubt that Eddy of Tilla mook would do the same. It Is possible that Futton mar gain, one or two, votes tomorrow, but there will be no radical changes.

This ealled forth an em phatic protest from Kelley,, of Marlon, ljifollctte who M..the only member of the Marion, delegation not supporting Geer, declared he was elected unpaged and seconded the- nomination of Fulton.
