13 TOts OREGON DAILY JOURNAL.' PORTLAND. WEDNESDAY EVENING.. NOVEMBER 18. 1908. T CLASH over Strength of Statement and Anti-Statement Forces. Will Be Tested at Opening of Legislative Session Direct Election of Senators Divides Two Factions! ' Organization ;f the legislature will fee a flgtt between those who believe in the direr! election of United States senator on the one side and those who are attempting to break down that principle and the direct primary law on the nt.nr. Tha struggle seems to be destined to revolve about the senatorial election end Statement No. 1 and In the fight the Statement No. 1 and anti Ptatemeat No. 1 line will be drawn def initely. Already the Fulton Influences and the Fulton candidates are lined up for the battle behind Jay Bowerman of Con don for president of the senate and C. N. McArthur of Portland for speaker cf the house. In the anti-Statement back ground are Senator 8. C. Beach, who also wants to be president 11 Bowerraan can not win, or If he can develop more strength than the eastern Oregon man. and J. C. McCue of Clatsop ami L. E. Bean of Lane, both of whom would like , to ba speaker. - On the Statement No. 1 side are sev eral candidates so far, some of them announced and some potential, aspi rtnii fnr president and speaker. T. B. Kay of Marlon, Ben Selling; of Multno mah, C. W. Nottingham and A. A. uai ley, both of Portland, are all mentioned as possible Statement No, 1 candidates n. thA nnaMrnn nt tha senate. For the speakership J. U. Campbell of Clackamas, B. F. Jones or Folk ana Lin coln, A. W. Orton and F. W. Brady, both, of Multnomah are mentioned. It looks now as if Bowerraan and Mc Arthur have the lead for their respect ive jobs in that they have both been making strong efforts at organization, and have been gathering; their forces about them while the other side has been scattering; its strength. Taking up the presidency of the sen ate first, Bowerman is the accepted can didate of Senator Fulton and Is backed by his Influence. ' Senator 8. C. Beach of Multnomah has been spoken of as a Fulton anti-Statement No. 1 candidate, but from present indications he is to become a serious candidate only in .event that it la found that Bowerman 'cannot make tha necessary It votes and Beach can. XJ Only Candidate. On the Statement No. 1 side of the S residency fight the only avowed can Idate at this time la Kay of Marlon. There If a strong inclination among the Statement No. 1 men of Multnomah to run Ben Selling for the place, but it Is believed that when the llne.up la made for the final struggle one man will be agreed upon and the fight mad-) 'upon htm alone. Whether this man will be Kay or Selling, or Nottingham or Bailey, no one knows. Kay has wanted tha position and is a strong candidate. Nottingham ha been mentioned as a " FARMERS AND COUNTRY MERCHANTS! Ship us your poultry for Thanksgiving. "We want Fresh, fat dry-picked Turkeys: likewise Chickens, both hens and springs; also Ducks and Geese. We prefer to receive poultry dressed dry-picked. Ship to arrive next Saturday, Sunday or Mon day. We want Dressed Veal, dressed Pork and Sucking Pigs. We will pay highest market price for everything. FRANK L. SMITH MEAT CO.. "Fighting the Beef Trust." PortlaniMOrejron. I J- .a . !-!- candidate but has made no statement re garding tha use of hit name, neither has Bailey. Kay. Nottingham and Bailey are all three holdovers, while Selling was elect ed last June, which fact runs counter to the old established rcustom that the presidency shall go to a second session man. In the senate there are li anti-Statement Republicans, 12 Statement No. 1 Republicans and six Democrats. The Democrsta are all pledged to Statement No. 1. so that it Is evident that they will hold the balance of power pro vided the Statement No. 1 Republicans refuse to go into caucus. Anti-State ment io. i men are calling for a cau cus, snd contend that there will be enough Statement No. 1 men go Into caucus to give them the organisation. Whether this will ba so. hovner will depend on future developments. in me nouse MCArtnur is the Kulton candidate for speaker. He has the support of the influence and js bound by his political association to Cooperate with the Fulton Drnarrajn . frr da- feat of Chamberlain. McCue of Clatsop Is also a Fulton man, but evidently Sen ator Fulton has considered that his fellow townsman was too closely allied with his Interests to go astray for he has been left out of consideration In the speakership fight unless it should de velop that McArthur could not land the necessary majority and MaCue could, in which case he would receive the Fulton support L. E. Bean of Iine is another anti Statement man after the speakership, but up to this time he has not taken a very decided stand either on the one side or the other. He believes. It is un derstood, that the question of the sen atorship should not enter Into the or ganization, considering that question to have been. settled at the polls. Campbell la deader. On the Statement No. 1 side J. U. Campbell Is the leading candidate to date. B. F. Jones has been spoken of as a candidate, but has not gone very far in his campaign as yet A. W. Or ton of Multnomah was the first repre sentative to announce his candidacy, but he "has not the support of his del egation and is not seriously considered as a winning candidate. The announce ment of Brady's candidacy is not taken seriously. Brady himself considered it as a Joke up to a few days ago, so that it is not believed that he will stay In the race. In the house ara 27 anti-Statement Republicans, 25 Statement No. 1 Repub licans and 8 Democrats. It requires SI votes to elect a speaker with all tha membership present The anti-Statement forces must pull over four State ment no. 1 Republicans to elect me speaker. McArthur claims that he has enough Statement No. 1 men to go Into caucus. Whether or not he can pull all anti-Statement men Into Una la another question, 'though if he Is successful In getting Si men into caucus ha will stand a food chance of election, as it is reported, that he has something like 20 votes to depend upon. it is a question, however, about the caucus, both in the senate and In the house. The Una Is becomlnar too close ly drawn about the senatorsbip. That is becoming, or has become, the one thing about which the organisation hinges. The anti-Statement people want the organisation, the president speaker and tha committee places to aid In breaking ud tha Statement No. 1 ma jority. Because or this situation tha organi sation will be largely a question of caucus or no caucus. With a caucus, the anti-Statement No. 1 men will win the organization. Without a caucus the Statement No. 1 men will be In a po sition to control the organization. EmIioIh ana Smralrla Tram OaWm. LAXATIVE BROMO Uulnlne. tha world wide Cold nd Grip remedy restore cause.
