Hood River, Or., --May 14. Governor
Chamberlain, completed his .campaign
in eastern Oregon lust night by address-1
lng an unusually large gathering at the
opera house . here. One of the largest
audiences whlch-has greeted a political
candidate in this city In years voiced Its
approval of the governor's candidacy by
frequently applauding hls remarks oh
the -Issues of the campaign.
Governor Chamberlain emphasised his
declaration that Statement No. 1 is the
most vital, political Issue which has
faced the state, and urged upon tbe vot
ers the necessity of forcing the issue to
the front In June by-electing only those
candidates for the legislature who have
pledged themselves to abide by the will
of tne - people.
Cake's unstable position oa this prin
ciple npoa whloh he received his nomi
nation at ths primary election was held
up as evidence of machine influence oa
ths senatorial candidate.
"The principle embodied In the State
ment No. 1 pledge," declared Governor!
Chamberlain, "cannot be covered or
thrown aside by the weak argument my
onnnnent la making that a Democrat can
not. accomplish anything in the senate

aro-umant made in an attempt to turn

Republicans of Oregon are' in session
today, each with a hatchet up his I
sleeve. Bourne and his followers,
bound and gagged by the1 Fulton camp,
are out of the running and only oboe

J. Johnson, elected temporary chair

Program Followed.
The meeting and business of the con
gressional district convention was , like
wise conducted as per program and with
dispatch. Convening at 9 o'clock, the
session was adjourned at 10, thus mak
ing ready for the state convention which
met at that hour.. ,
The feature of the day. however, was
the called meeting of the Multnomah
delegation which met Just after the
close of the morning session of the
state convention. Called together by
H. S. Rowe, the delegation talked ' for
harmony and then proceeded to acare
the bird of peace- clear out of sight. ;
Mr. Rowo called the delegation to
order In the body of the Empire theatre,
and stated that In the interest .of har
mony there were' some few things that
the delegation should do. One of these
he said was to decide upon unanimous
action on the part of the delegation on
the floor of the convention. He un
derstood that the county had the nam-ins-
of two delegates to the national
convention and suggested that selection
of nominees.be made. at that time.
