WO INDICATION OF S; P;
LEAVING FOURTH

v Waa ths eitr council onlr fooling

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

this point thatxity officials are wonder

yvi4 faith u-hcn tha members passed the

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

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

haa always been the aerlous question
with the railroad company. It la aald,

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.

- 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

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

parture a telegram iwas sent him sug

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
