VOL. V. NO. 12. i ' PORTLAND, OREGON, SUNDAY, MORNING, MAY ' 31, 1908. t PRICE FIVE CENTS. I 5 Si p. Tomorrow Will Decide. Whether Oregon Is With Former standard uil Attorney n For : United States Senator or Our Loyal Governor: , , ; ''i '?;!. Voters of Oretron will declare tomorrow their choice for United States senator. .All indications point to the conclusion that George L.; Chamber lam will receive, a decisive majority ot the peoples votes. 1 !..'' i Chamberlain's record is as nearly flawless as it is possible for records to be. : Alen' are only mortal and must err; but impartial ' 'observers acknowledge that in hs official' life Governor Chamber- lain has traveled as nearly on the level and' has squared his acts as closely by the plummet as mere men can do these things. : i ; No Republican who has voted for Chamberlain in the past has had occasion to regret" it. None 'will regret it ;who votes for him tomorrow. The. man who has made a good governor will make a good senator. Ills unblemished integrity, his acknowledged ability. the firmness and fidelity of his stand for the rights of the people, indicate the possession of the qualities which would win him dis tinction in the United States senate. H. M. Cake,, on the other hand, has no public record save that which he has made in his two campaigns for senator Within two years he has flopped four times in his attitude toward Statement No", l; the most important-issue; as he himself admits, which has ever confronted the people .of Oregon. While he advocated that orinciole before the recent primaries, he abandoned it afterward. lie now professes to be in favor oi Statement No. 1, yej docs not insist upon the election of a btateroent .No. 1 legislature. In a word, he faces both ways. This is the whole of Mr. Cake's public record!. It is the record of a straddler and a weakling. .It bespeaks vacillation, lack of con viction and willingness to sacrifice a great principle in. order to gain his'own'.ends. A t ' . If Cake should be elected he would be dominated and con trolled by Senator Bourne: Cake would, be simply the tail to the Bourne kite. Who, then would care for Oregon's interests at Wash ington? ' ; 1 The United States senate is no place for a weak man. Oregon needs a senator who will be strong, alert, dependable, loyal at ajl times to the interests of the state, ' ' , j ; ' Such a man is George E. Chamberlain and that is why he will be elected. . - . - W. M. CAKES ESTIMATE REALLY FORECASTS GOVERNOR'S VICTORY That ths ' Bepubllcan Vot for Cham berlain for senator jwlll approach tha proportion of a landslide la practically admitted by . W. M. Cake, chairman of the Republican State Central committee. While still claiming- hie brother's elec tion, W. M. Cake's outside estimate of hi majority ; 1 only 10.000.- notwith standing the fact that the normal Re publican majority r In Oregon in ; past campaigns- has been from 30,000 to 40, 000. " ; , It U a well-known fact . that three fourths of the voters who have come Into the state since the last election are Republicans, so that the party major ity should be even jrresater than it was In 1006.' Nevertheless Chairman . Cake claims victory for his brother by only 10,000, thereby admitting that at least tOTOOO Republicans will vote for Cham berlain. This admission Is to all in tents and purposes an admission or de i feat. f ' -' -' : '' s!' ? x" ' , , T Private Estimate Differs. - In private conversation W, 2L Cake admits that his publto estimate Is far beyond his oxpeciaiions. joupiea wun this is the fact that in order to reach : the estimate which he caused to be pub- - llshed it . was necessary for him to claim a majority in ? those ' counties mm lioiii La Folletfe Filibustering Ends and Congress Ad journs Shortly Before Mid night Bourne .

State Chairman Cake claims the first of these counties this year by 250 and the latter by 850. Nearly everyone concedes (Jlatsop to cnaraoerlaln by 200 at the least. Cake place his es timate there in ; favor of his brother at 200. In addition, W. M. Cake lays claim to Multnomah by 2,500. It was a Chamberlain county two years ago by over , 200.

' In addition' to the sums menttonml there was an abundance of Chamberlain money which found no takers. Even Chairman Cake's estimate of 2,500 ma jority in Multnomah county was '. not Inducement enough to the Cake follow ers to bet even money that Chamber lain wOuld not carry the county.
