JOURNAL, PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 6V 2, 1C08 THE - OREGON DAILY WO INDICATION OF S; P; LEAVING FOURTH STREET v Waa ths eitr council onlr fooling t when ths taemlxr passad sj ordinance ordorlnt ths Southern rapine to got off of Fourth street by November I, ISO or 'did ths members really think that tha city could fores the companjr off with auch order t. i . .,. "m, This la th question that baa uor t ceeded one aa to whether th company win get off the stfet,by November i. Around the city hall tha conclusion haa bpn reached that the rbnspaftjrwlll. not set off tha atraet on the date stipulated and there la " conjecture whethor the council ai alncere In 4ts purpose when Jt rsd the ordinance. - ' ' Mayor Lane contends thRt the com - pan-y cannot be forced off In the man " ner prescribed by the ordinance ana holds that the only way to fret rid or the tooilnsr. pufflna; locdmotlvea la to puss an ordinance regulating the hours -In which tralna can be operated on the - street. Mayor Lane says if the council paased an ordinance forbidding the i" company to operate cars on the street at any other time of the day aave be tween midnight and I a. m. the company would soon come to 'term a and replace the steam locomotives with lesa ob jectionable power and in all probability bring their tralna into the city over other trackaV : ' City Oaa agiUa.a. Mayor Lane believes the city haa power to regulate the railroad company ,ln thla-manner, but he doubta whether the city haa the power to order the com panv off the atreet. - That the railroad company will not be able to complete its bridge at Oswego and extend-its tracks in- auch a manner aa to bring He west aide traffic, down the other aide of the rier by November ,1 la conceded by the -city officials as well aa by the railroad officials. ; Practically a majority of the councll- men have gone on record aa declaring themaelvea opposed to granting the rail road oompany further time In which t6 eomnlete the work. Thla throws the matter Into a situation where the com pany will either have to give up its west slda business or bring Its tralna into tha oity in direct defiance or the cny Mftvor' Tne does not believe the courts will auatain the city, and be! evea they will grant the company an Injunc Hon forbidding the city from, tearing up the tracks. Such action will delay h mtfr indefinitely, and It Is on this point thatxity officials are wonder ing wneiner ins wumn w ... yvi4 faith u-hcn tha members passed the r " - efila nnntanil that the coun oilmen were Dlaylna- directly Into the hands of the company when they pasaea i.. nrrtinnni-d in that the membera knew when they passed the ordinance that the oompany wouia win mn. iu nn courts, and in the meantime the people would still be suffering the annoyance whloh the councumen oiwnBmiy vum to abolish. t i. miA tha rnmnanv has tried to construct gaa engines with sufficient rower to carry. in o "!"".? the "hump," and haa failed in ail us attempts. It la rumored, nowever, mat despite these failures the company is still working ton the problem, and haa at last succeeded in designing a gas en gine which will perform the work. WhilS such motive power would reduce the notse a great deal, it would not do away with all the other nuisances con iwwtod with tha operation of the tralna on one of the city's -busiest thorough '!?. .. . . A xne question ot iww the operation of the Fourth street line haa always been the aerlous question with the railroad company. It la aald, and not as to whether it would tear up NEXT OREGON SENATOR G. 0. P. MAN, SAYS FULTON , "You can bet your life on this ths . next senator from Oregon will be a Ke nnhitnAn anit not a Democrat" Thus does O. Clydo Fulton, brother of Senator Charles W, FultoH. dispose of the ques tion of the "United States genatorship. . Over af Seaside during the past few weeks they have been holding many po litical pow-wows. Seaside Is a very con venient place for Such - meetings and discussions. The rhythmic roaa of tho sea" buries ' any -lotting-wtrts which might float beyond the intended ear arid besides it is very 'convenient for mem bers of the cabal to Summer's at Sea side and meet and coiicoct, while if such a gathering were to be onvened; la Portland, or elsewhere, its very esist- ' ence svould cry aloud tts purpose. . . 'v'; ':-.:ki. Conference of Wiseacres. ' During the past few- weeks when the sun was hot in. the valley and the beach " was the only place where comfort could be found the political leaders betook themselves off to the sands and talked . and planned. Q. Clyd Fulton was there, so was. H. W. Scott, so was Oscar Huber, and & changing list of leglala tors, all dropped in for a day or two to "summer."- After moat of the summei-" Jn had been finished and the bulk of the lawmakers had left for their sun baked homes Mr. Fulton delivered him iait nt liia oninlon that it was safe to . wager human life against the election of therefore they have been cooking things up while the tidea rose and fell. UAecording to tha story that is now being eddied about, the leaders of . the . anti-Statement No. 1 movement have been very active during the recent past. Senator J. N. Smith of Marlon forsook his usual Summertime haunts and spent a time as the guest of Senator Fulton at Astoria. Then O. Clyde, Fulton clipped over to Seaside to summer and the members of the , legislature began to be buttonholed. - - A number of those who did not maxe the legislature have decided to abandon the oath taken before the people and refuse to oast their ballots for Opv ernor Chamberlain. ' Question of Honor. ' There 'Is great 1 doubt. . however, whether this has been accomplished. Men who have not taken the Statement No, 1 pledge still stand by their conten tion that they do not see how any mem ber of the legislature pledged to the It a practice to spend their vacations at Seaside blew in for a day or so, .talked to Mr. Fulton, Mr. Scott, Mr. Huiter and the rest and slipped away home again. As a result of it all Mr. Fulton makes the announcement that the next senator will be a- Republican, which, being in terpreted, can mean but one thing that the plan has been cooked up where by seven Statement No. 1 members of Statement can vote for any one else other: than Chamberlain without dishon oring himself before the people of the state. "Down deen in my heart." said One member of the legislature this morning who is an anti-statement member, "I be lieve that Chamberlain Is sure of. elec tion. I know nothing definite of any plan to defeat htm, though I have heard rumors of things that are liable to hap pen. I am a Republican" and am un pledged to any one and would rather see -a Republican . represent the state In. the United States senate. But I must say candidly that if I had signed State ment No. I I would go through with it and vote for Chambeflath. for I would see no -other nonoracie ming lor me to do. I do not see how any member can violate hls-pledg without violating his honor, and I do not believe that any circumstance or argument can lead seven members of the legislature to do that." - v - That Is the-ray practically all of tne anti-statement o. l members look at the question. Some, more outspoken than the rest, openly say that theywill not be a party to any senatorial elec tion plan which will put Fulton or any other man In the senate over Chamber lain's popular indorsement, when such a plan would mean the stultifloatlon of seven memners or tne aaaemDiy. unese men say they would not support such a program. Veople "Will Be Hard to Break. It would seem certain, therefore, that tne task or breaking the Statement No. 1 majority is an Impossible one. in spite of this, however, the work of the Fulton people is still helnar carried on. They are making strenuous efforts to break the majority -in the hope of elect ing Fulton first, 'some other man sec ond, or as a last resort of deadlocking the legislature. It is a desperate game wun an tne cnances against meni, out they intend, evidently to play It to the limit. AMI P1CIIIC 10 BE BIG EVEIII EjV,' John A.'

" 'Then that is all rlitht The orders sav 'used on the line for other than company busi ness. Put her aboard." Now Trafflo Manager Jenkins la figuring out just bow to word his next order. William M. Cake, chairman of the Republican state central committee, la expected to reach Portland from his trip In the east .either this evening or tomorrow morning.. This Is the latest Information' relative to the movements of the absent chairman, he having sent word to his office to that effect yes terday. much interest centers aooni tne movements of vMr. Cake at this time. Saturday next there is to be the meet ing of the state central committee. called to outline the plan for the pres- laanuai campaign oy air. thanes di rection before he left for- the east near ly a month ago. At that time also it Is predicted that the Fulton faction of the party, incensed at the ignoring of their telegrams of Instruction sent to Mr. Cake suggesting; that he appoint a committee named by the Fulton leaders, will cast the chairman bodily from his leadership and management of the cent ral committee and put a a-ood. tried en 1 true friend of the Fulton men In the saddle. - Snub and Bnubbed. ' To the Innocent bystander. however. it begins to look a though Mr. Fulton and his friends have been playing pret ty bad politics since the recent' primar ies, and before. - At the last etate con vention Fulton's friends snubbed Cake, and Cake's friends, and trampled upon tne aspirations or (senator Jttourne. re fusing; him a seat on the Oregon delega-i tlon to the national convention. After the nomination of Taft word was passed out that. Cake would have to make way lor a Fulton man to lead the camDaicn. Cake would hot. stand over, and it waa passed out mat ne eitner bad to set out orlbe thrown out That caused somethlnr of an ud- heaval, and Senator Fulton came post haste to Portland . to patch things up. He called off ' the - dotra. and It was given out that Mr. Cake would be the neimsman. Mr. cane went east ana nas not yet returned. Soon after his de parture a telegram iwas sent him sug gestins; that he allow a managing com mittee to be put In charge of the Taft campaign, i or rear tnat ne mignt not know who would be Qualified the namea of the committee- was also telegraphed to mm. Mr. (jaxe aia not repiy. . Now, therefore; on . the eve of the meeting of the state central committee things are in a pretty much tangled up condition. Senator Fulton's friends are pretty mad at Mr. Cake. Mr. Cake is not embracing either the Fulton, men or their suggestions. If the Fulton men should attempt to oust Cake from the chairmanship either in fact or In theory there would be a still farther widening of the breach. ' If Mr. Cake is not ousted, or has his own way, it will look very much as though Senator Fulton and his advis ers, nave been compelled -to lie down and eat out of the hand of the Cake people. -The question seems to be what will be done, anvwav? 'Either mv. there are chaema In the track, and Ore-m gon ip not souaiy in. we Tail colmun, either. . Saturday then, will be an inter eating day. . , COLLECTS EVIDENCE IN POSTAL BOBBERY Postofflee Inspector O. r.
