'As a result of the agitation of this
Question, all the northwest senators
met in conference and drafted a bill to
amend the act to regulate commerce.'
For his activity in looking after, the
Interests of the people, Aitchison has
become a target for the railroad com-
anles heavy guns in Oregon. He has

People who have followed the proceed

is fair and impartial. He has bean a

no criticism of his official acta has
been heard, outside of railroad circles.
An anonymous circular has been is
sued In the interest of Hamilton, who
was defeated by Aitchison in the nrl.
martea. In this circular it Is alleged
that Hamilton, is Justified in his claim
for votes by : the fact that he was a
railroad commissioner from -1891 to
1882. The circular states, amon other
things, that "difficulties with railroads
were always adjusted without going to
