house. 1 ' ' " '
The only members failing to vote for
the people's choice were Senator Bean
and Calkins of Lane county, and. Rep
resentative Meek of Washington coun
ty, who voted for Ben. Selling. A faint
swan, song of 'protest -was heard from
several members., but qnly these three
vent so far as to veto the instruction
of the people of Oregon. . W
The election of Dr. Lane was lacking
In any spectacular ffect,ln either house.

Salem, On, Jan. II. In nominating
Dr. Harry- Lano for' the United States

Tier said:
" . "In a way, 1 might say the election of

U concerned.' " ! : -
, ;."By 48,60 majority In J908, the people
declared that every member of the legis
lature should be compelled to vote for
the people's choice.- This to my mind
puts politics on a higher plane, and I
hlnk I am Justified, in saying that
politics are getting better In this coun
try. This fact we can all rejoice over,
i '.tThere -13 a . universal movement to

1897, eimon" 1903, 'Fulton Chamber

"Places ; were traded, .for ; votes for

Mr. President, and fellow senators, by
the authority of the peopld of the state

office of the United States Senator, Hon.
Harry Larty. of Portland, Oregon."
"Mr. Lane Is well and favorably
known to you all. The, name of Lane
Is closely connected with the Mstory of
Oregon and on the wall ; on my right,
hangs a picture of Hon.' Joseph. Lane,

Under the Home Rule amendment,
any Incorporated city In the state may
