FULTON IN
Combination Slaking Effort
to Down George E. Cham
berlain, Despite Fact That
He Is Popular Choice for
Senator.
The old game is on again. It Is any
thing1 to bent George K. Chamberlain
before the legislature for election to
the United States senate. It la bJck to
the old system of barter and sale. 40
day contests and debauchery, and tills
time the people are to be asked to aid
In the reversion. That Is the plan that
Is now being mapped out by the Ful
ton faction, the old remnants of the
Mitchell machine, for the subversion of
the popular will and the reopening of
the senatorial contest at Salem next
January.
It Is up In eastern Oregon, and
through the sparsely settled districts,
that the Fulton men expect to win their
battle, defeat the people and elect 1' ni
ton to the senate if possible. And this
Is about the way they plan to do It:
Fulton men In eastern and central
districts of the state are to circulate
petitions for signatures among the vot
ers of the districts directed to the rep
resentatives and senators from those
districts asking them to disregard their
Statement jno. l pieage ana voia. jor -i
Republican for senator. Fulton, of
course. Is to be the Republican.
Pressure to Bmi.
At the same time pressure is to be
brought to bear on these Statement No.
1 members of the legislature to lnflu
. enee them to agree to observe the re
quest of these . petitions, provided h
majority of the voters of the district
affix their names.
In the legislature there are 61 State
ment No. 1 members. There are 39
anti-Statement No. 1 members. thus
making it necessary to win over by
some means, seven votes before the
scheme of the Fulton faction can win.
Kven then, however, it would only be
possible for Fulton to win provided he
held the whole number of anti-Statement
No 1 men, and the seven subsid
ised votes, in line. The result, pro
vided the seven men could he found to
violate their Dlndues. would In all
.probability be a deadlock and no elec
tion. Bowerman Favored.
According to the story now In circu
lation Senator Fulton and his political
advisers, have promised to fall in linn
hehinri the mndldacv of Senator Jay
Bowerman of Sherman. Gilliam and
Wheeler counties for president of the
senate provided Senator Bowerman and
his friends throughout the interior dis
tricts "come through" with the proposed
petitions and pledges from the interior
members to the legislature.
It Is also the rumor that at least one
member from the Interior has said ha
would forget his Statement No. 1 pledge
provided a petition signed by more than
one half of the voters In his district,
asking him to vote for a Republican,
were presented to him before the date
set for the election of United States
senator. , ,
The Fulton following expects ny inis
petition scheme to be able to switch
at least seven members of the legisla
ture. Thev contend that the people who
voted for "Statement No. 1 members of
the legislature did not take Into ac
count the possibility of Governor Cham
berlain winning the popular indorse
ment. Thev argue that the majority
want a Republican and are willing to
abandon their belief in th principle of
the direct "lection of United States sen
ators to secure a Republican.
How, the People.
In the face of this argument and
effort, however, conies the vote which
the people of Oregon gave to the bill,
now a law. Instructing the members of
the legislature to vote for the candl
date for United States senator who re
celved the popular vote. In June 1

Edgar Hftfer, who are lnterestei In
building the Pacific & Eastern railroad

Six cars of lumber had been standing
here on side tracks for three weeks.
consigned to the Crater Lake Lumber
company, of which Mr. Hafer is man

tory in Medford. For moving these six
cars of lumber from one side track to a
spur owned by the Pacific & Eastern,
the Southern Pacific officials wanted
$10 a car. Mr. Hafer refused to pay It.
Factory Heeded the Lumber.

Auckland, New Zealand, Aug. 11.
Sentiment of the strongest kldd
here today favors the formation of
an Anglo-American alliance In the
Pacific for the advancement and de
fense of the Interests of the white
men as against those of the yellow
races.
The suggestion, which Is on the
Hps of everyone, goea further and
proposes the dissolution of the. An
glo-Japanese alliance, to make way
for the unhampered coalition of the
interests of England and America in
this part of the world.
The, big whita ships of the American
fleet and the American officers and
men were received with the wildest en
thusiasm by the New Zealanders and
were welcomed as brothers. Over here,
where the question of the "yellow peril"
Is always evident, it Is good to come
upon men of our own kind, who speak
our language and live as we do.
Everywhere Is the sentiment that the
white race must control the Pacific
and on all sides Is confidence in Its
ability to do so. The Auckland Herald,
In an editorial today, says:
America Takes Stop.
"The visit of the American fleet em
phasizes the fact that the United States
is not going to take a secondary posi
tion in the Pacific. Even if the mother
country has chosen to abandon that
ocean, the daughter will not allow her
to follow those footsteps. ,

A resounding echo of the recent archt
tectural competition for the design of
the Albina High school will be heard at
this afternoon's meeting of the school
board, when Architect Ernest Kroner
will make a formal demand on the board
that he be given an opportunity to read
the report of Architect Suinmervell o
Seattle, who wag named by tho school
board to act as a Jury in making ths
award, and who submitted a report that
a majority of the competing architects
believe was not followed by tha board.
In the event that the board declines
to permit Mr. Kroner to see the Sum
mervell report, he will immediately be
gin mandamus proceedings to compel
the board to make public the report aa
a public document.
Report Hot Followed.
Mr. Kroner has received a letter from
Mr, Summervell, in which he states that
the school board In making the flnaj
award did not follow his report.
Mr. Summervell does not say in hia
letter in what particular the board de
viated from the report of the Jury, but
intimates that there was a radical de
parture in making the awards from the
selections made by himself.
In the printed rules and specifications
Issued by the board governing the com
petition, it was provided that the first
and second floors of the designs submit
ted should have 15 or more classrooms
and that no classrooms should be oa
the third floor. The . design as finally; n
selected has 12 classrooms on the first
and second floors and six on the third)
floor. It was further said in the printed)
rules of the board that anv deviation
from the requirements on the part of aj
competing architect would result la
having the plans of the architect violat

The board also aereed. as was nrlntaul
In the rules and specifications, to abide
