As the political campaign has pro
gressed up to this point and Indications
from all over the state point to a wide
spread plan on the part of legislative
candidates to avoid Statement No. 1 and
pledge themselves to vote for the can
didate for United States senator who
shall receive the Republican nomination
In April, or go Into the legislature un
pledged in any way, much wonderment
and speculation has arisen as to
whether or not Senator Fulton would
allow his name to be taken before the
legislature should he be defeated In
June.
That there Is a plan on foot to elect
a legislature pledged either to a modi-
fled statement cleaving to "Republican
voters' choice" or members not bound
by any pledge is patent to all those who
note tne portents or tne coming po
litical battle. If such a legislature
should be elected and at the same time
George E. Chamberlain should defeat
the Republican nominee, be he either
rauon or uake, at tne election in june,
tne question arises, not wnat tne leg'
islature would do. but what the Re
publican candidates at the primaries
would do.
Xefuses to Discuss Question.
Mr, Cake, by his advocacy of the
principles of Statement No. 1, could
not allow his name to be considered by
the legislature In that event. Mr. ul
ton by virtue of the pledge made to the
people of uregon in his opening ad
dress at Corvallla made August so,
1907, could not allow his name to go
before the , legislature, wnat, wen.
would tha legislature do?
Led by the growing .question in the
minds of a great, number of the voters
of the state regarding the question,
which uncertainty has been fostered by
the current story tnat tne inenas ann

"Contracts for the machinery for
bur new $1,500,000 plant will be let
as soon as the council passes the
ordinance allowing us to build oa
the Zimmerman site," said J. S.
Heisey, Pacific coast representative
of the Schwartschild & Suliburger
company this morning.
Mr. Heisey said that Inasmuch as tha
charge had been made that his com
pany did nof Intend to construct their
r.ew plant for some time he would, say
that the plan is to let the contract? im
mediately and commence work as soon
as their right to build within the city
limits waa established. . "i f;. :.
"It has been said that we will have
an advantage over the Swift , people,"
said Mr. Heisey. "This advantage
gained by our being within the city
limits and nearer the market here will '
be more than offset by the fact that
we will be paying a large amount of
taxes Into, the city treasury. whlVe
Swift is outside the limits and will not
be paying anything. It wlll. be aeco-v
sary for us to take many precautions
that Swift will not have to take. We
cannot allow any odor at all to come

"It is to our interest to' have fiwlft '

more packlrta-houses there are here the
better the live stock market in this city
will be and the easier it will be for ua
to secure stock -for our plant."
Alderman W. I. Cot tell of the Fifth
ward. who opposed the . ordinance yes
terday, stated at a meeting of the Fifth
Ward Republican club last night that
he was not opposed to the cominar of the
Schwartsschlld ft. Sulsburger company,
but thought that the' proposition should '
be carefully gone over -before it was
voted upon. He said he wished to gain
the views of his constituents before he
cast hla vote for it. i 1 ,
I understand that the Schwartsschlld
ft Suliburger company has no present
intention of putting up a 81.500,600 -

ear on the best of authority they are
oing to spend 835,000 to put the Zim
