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

Chickens, both hens and springs; also
Ducks and Geese. We prefer to receive

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.

the Rose Festival association in refer
ence to putting on here during the festi
val one of the big Pain spectacular
pyrotechnio event. Whether or not
this will be done independently or in

he will put on the Battle of Manila at
