GOlTAIil TO VlaD GAVEL OF SENATE ADVISES nAnwiifiAH IHH To the Edltof of The i Journals-Tomorrow, " December 8, 1912, It will be even years :, since senator jonn it. Mitchell .died In this city. .As the exec utor of bis estate, I have been called on many, many times asking- why a jtnonu tnent should not b erected to his mem ory. considering the amount of work - that he ,did for the state of Oregon and lor the "whole Paclfio coast. , 1 was -very anxious that the affairs of the late senator Should be adjusted, ' and bis) creditors paid before attempting to carry out this worthy object, and In asmuch as the estate will be closed up by next week, ! believe the present Is ' the opportune time to start this sub scrlptlon. . It has always been my Idea that not mure man fisnouiu v given uy avu tcontrlbutor, and the cost of the monu 1 nisnt will then depend on the number of friends the late senator has and the amount of money collected. The sub scription list will be open three months. I can not give any better ergument whv thla testimonial to his worth should be undertaken than the speech delivered by Judge George H. Williams, a life time friend of bis, before the Bar asso elation on January , 1906. , Judge Wil liams, In speaklns of pregon's debt to Mitchell, says:.. r..- ' -.- vcre very great.

In speaking of his influence and standing In the senate Ifss thaii two years ago, said; 'Meas ured by his year of life, his priority and length of service, his acquaintance with public life end public men, bis re sources and accomplishments fa diplo macy, Mr. Mitchell does not suffer in comparison with any member of the senate, s Some, like Hoar,1 have been longer In tbe service; some, like SpOon r, have , greater readiness in debate; some, like Beverldge and Foraker, may surpass him in oratory; some, like Hanna and Aldrich, may have greater powers of command In commercial and financial work, but take It all in all, there is probably no one man in the sen ate more effectually equipped with those native qualities and acquired resources which enable a man - to win the sym pathy and support of his fellow .man." " As to Senator Mitchell's guilt In the . I...... ..tt jnho-craa- T ?wfllS 1aam -that task to somebody more able to do him 'jus .ioe, ' but 1 knowing him asla did I tan say now with all candor that Sen atoi ?lltcholl was Innocent r of ; tbe iiarges pref erred against him by the government.; J-'"''-'!8';' In '' letter to his son-tn-law. Judge 'j. P, Fawcett of Canton, Ohio, dated just five days before bis death, he -writes as follows: . "The terrible strain through which I have Just passed dur ing the' past year is fast telling upon me, and I feel that, I can not stand It much ; longer. ;, Oh, God, how J have ..wlshedrnany and manya time that I 'might have died before this disgrace 'came - upon me,' my children and my .state." I have this one consolation, that, notwithstanding the verdict of the jury, I am absolutely an innocent man," and I "firmly beilevs every word be said. - Nobody - knows better than - I the a:nount of work that Senator Mitchell , did for the Lewis and Clark exposition, and the wonderful prosperity of Port land, in my opinion, commences from that date. I now ask his friends" to contribute tl for a monument fund,, and I shall, within the next week, appoint friends . of his throughout the state whom I will ask to assist in this work. ' Money nay be sent to my address. "I have IS state senators pledged to my ..support at this minute, and I will have several more .early next week," said Can J. Malarkey yesterday, in dis cussing his -candidacy for president of the senate.'"My election as presiding of fleer is certain, and when the vote is taken you may look for 20 votes In my column. "1 know what I am "talking about," he continued, "and the fellows why say I haven't the votes don't know what they are talking about-, V'.-?V ty Bixteen votes are needed to elect the president of the senate, or a majority of the total of 80. Bo far the race has been Malarkey against the field.- There are two opposing candidates, John A. Carson of Marlon and W. D. Wood of Washington, bo$h recognised stand pat. ters, and it is generally believed that the strength ot these two 1s Inter changeable. It Will go to either or to a new man. If a new man were to appear to have hope of beating the Multnomah senator. - ; . - " "it Xxtrsaes Alignsd Torether, -y' I, ' A peculiar element in the situation is that the opposition to Malarkey Is made up of antagonists factions, the ultra stand patters Mning up with, the nltra- f progressives, t in the latter class are Dan Kellaher and George W. Josepn, tne Multnomah Bull Moosers, who are fight ing Malarkey, along with such ardent standpatters as Wood, Carson and W. Lair Thompson of Lake, who led the Bowerman band of gloom In the lower bouse at the last session, While Malarkey and his friends say tbe fight is over, the other follows say it is not:iirK:"'ri'-'.

Of the seven to participate in this pow-wow, two or three are known to be friendly to Malarkey, and one or two are Inclined the other way. It does not seem likely that they will be able to agree or act as a unit If the expected disa greement results, Malarkey Is likely to be tbe gainer, ror a smau accestion or strength in that quarter would , be enough to put him over, the line, even on the figures of his opponents, and on the basis of pledges already openly an nounced, -v ' . :v;y-- ".i;.'- Assurances of support' from Repre sentatives-elect F.
