Chamberlain s , chooses j,jm as the successor of air FRIDAY, JUNE C, 102. margin of victory is very narrow, indeed. Umatilla county will have strong representation in the next Oregon legislature, as follows: "W. M. Pierce, joint senator; C. J. Smith, senator; W. ai. Blakley, representa tive, and H. C. Adams, representa tive. All of these are democrats with the exception of air. Adams, who is a republican and a representative man, being a large property owner, an active, progressive citizen and an old resident of the county, air. Aadms' election was a deserved compliment at the hands of the re publicans of the county, by whose votes he was elected. The county campaign of the demo, crats was handled exceedingly well. A. D. Stillman, county chairman, did excellent work. He proved himself an able campaign manager. He car ried the responsibilities with much grace and his work was resultful. Mr. Stillman's estimate of the vote of the county before it was recorded was close to the actual result. He was thoroughly conversant with the existing conditions in the county and made the most of the information he gathered, air. Stillman has received many encomiums for his good work for the democratic cause, nil of which he deserves. It now transpires that some men are .in the habit of wearing campaign buttons without intending to vote the ticket the buttons represent. Such voters are a Uttlo deceptive, to Bay the least. In short, they are not true to their colors. The pirates on the high seas have been known to re sort to this trick. "When caught at it they were made to walk the plank without ceremony. A man always should be true to the colors ho tils plays. But the better way of all is to make no display of badge or but ton. Politics, like other things, qhould not bo carried on one's sleeve. Display of any kind is not far removed from fraud. Simon, it would be an excellent thing for Oregon, for air. Scott is just the man to occupy the office during the next 10 years with a Lewis and Clark Centennial coming and a Nicaragua canal among the probabilities, not to say anything about the Philippine problem, which needs to bo grappled by larger minds than the ordinary. Senator Hanna not only defends the thieving trusts, but he defends aiajor Rathbone, convicted of getting iv ay with government postal funds in Cuba. Senator Hanna :s not very particular of the company he keeps. aiajor Rathbone Is a political friend of his and the senator feels obligated for political services rendered in Ohio at certain divers times. OREGON ELECTION REVIEW. Henry Prazior, the prohibition candidate for commissioner in Uma tilla county drew enough democratic votes away from James Nelson, the democratic candidate to defeat him. air. Fraztor was elected and served a torm as county commissioner, be ing a democrat until about two years ago, when he identified him self with the problhltlon movement. Ho is a prominent citizen of tho county, residing at aillton, and quite a popular man. Had any other man In the county been the candidate of tho prohibitionists for commissioner. Mr. Nelson would have been elected, but he could not stand the loss oc casioned by air. Frazier's popularity among tho democrats in the east end of the county as shown by tho vjte ho received there. The Portland Oregonian makes the' following explanation of the result of the election; There are reasons why air.. Furnish was not In himself a strong candi date for governor. He is not a pub lic speaker, and there are persons who think little of the ability and worth of a candidate for public office in particular political office If he have not some kind of "gift of gab." Again, there aro republicans, not a few, who wouldn't vote for Furnish because he was formerly a democrat and in their thinking no man of his description ought to be taken up as a republican candidate, at least till all the old aud faithful adherents of the party who have been supporting It since Lincoln's time have had their turn at the gubernatorial office. But the main cause that cut down his vote was the vengeance of a defeated faction. Bosses and their followers, shelved by the primaries and conven tions, wanted to "get even." Upon Furnish, as the man who, in their view of It, had snatched tho scepter with an unlineal hand, they concen trated all their wrath and rage. Ho was the man through whom they had lost tho control of the party; his name was tho symbol of their defeat, and thoy resolved to "take It out of him." In this effort thoy were fav ored by the porsonal popularity of George Chamberlain a man for whom It was easy to persuade others to vote, aioreover, the "avengers" used tho argument that, Inasmuch as tho remainder of tho state ticket would be elected with a majority in the legislature and tho two represen tatives in congress, tho state would still bo in .the republican line. All these conditions were favorable to tho factional conspiracy to sacrifice Furnish to tho wrath of those whoso last weapon was tho lust for rovengo. fore the state convention, was act it. nnnnnrt with him: the organi zation of the convention in the In terests of Geer would nave carwuu with It control of the party organiza tion as well as the nominaunn u Geer, and this would have enabled Simon to maintain his hold on the party of large influence over It. Furnish wanted the nonwiuu. was not himself specially opposed to Oeer, and the situation was such that had Furnish not been nominated Geer would have been. Then there would have been a contest on far oth er grounds than those of the contest that has just been witnessed. The fight against Geer would have been very different than that against Fur nish! It would have had exceedingly ugly features and no one who has an lion of what It would have been can suppose Geer would have fared better in the result than l- urnisn huh nunc ah fiinsn things were considered in the convention, which in the cir- cumstances preferred Furnish tOi Geer, as It had a right to do, though j Geer and some of his supporters thought otherwise. There was talk I that Geer was "entitled to It" andj Geer thought so lilmself,. no doubt; j forgetting that he had not held that! Idea when Governor Lord wanted thej renomlnation. Lord fell 1 na contest between factions just as Geer has fallen, but Lord and his friends though deeply disappointed, had the magnanimity to fall in and support Geer. The conditions that brought about the nomination of Geer in 1898 need not be recited at length. No majority of the convention wanted Geer, but he had a bunch of dele gates who held the balance of power between strong factions, and the contention about the seats of the Mutnomah delegation was accomo dated by a settlement under duress, which caused the name of Lord to be kept out of the convention of that year, as Geer's name was withheld from the recent one. These things aro common in conventions, whose rigorous law is that men who enter them must accept their usages and obligations; in other words, must "play the game." Another part of the law of politics is that no man Is "entitled" to anything; for under our present system every man may aspire for any position, and no office be longs to any man. This system al lows no privilege or nobility, no claim to "title" or "inheritance," even for "another term." look 0ut forPainii Wall Paper C) r) O Picture Frames -AT- BARGAINS -IN- HO COURT STREET BUY YOUR LUMBER AT THE Oregon Lumber Yard Alta St., opp. Court House.

Suppose Mr. Simon hadi carried the Mutnomah primaries, nominated his legislative and county ticket here, and had caused the.Mult ifomah delegation to the state con vention, as he could and would have done, to cast Its vote for Governor Geer. Undoubtedly Governor Geer would have been renominated and Mr. Simon and himself would have been in full control of the party or ganization. But what would have happened? A more stormy contest than the one we have passed through. Slmon-Geer eadership could not pos sibly have united the party; there would have been a most acrimonious contest and certain defeat. Simon's leadership in Multnomah two years ago produced a total rout; this year Simon-Geer leadership could not pos the local ticket almost entire, and everything In the state except tho governor. Defeat of Mr. Furnish is as well as the governor, and it would faction. But had Geer been In the place of Furnish, with Simon In com mand of tho campaign, with tho Multnomah ticket as his own and pledged to return him to the United States senate, who can believe that success would have been possible? The legislature would have been lost, as well as tho governor, and It would have been fortunate, Indeed, If the disaster had gone no further. These remarks aro made for the purpose of showing that there is an other side to this subject which it would 1 e just as well to look at today while the subject is still recent, and before interest in It shall have been superseded by other things or dulled by time. Tho noxt legislature will bo largely republican on joint ballot. Al though tho voters at tho polls show ed their preference for Geer, as thoy had no other republican to fa vor thoy could not help themselves, ho will not be tho candidate of tho party for United States senator to succeed Joseph Simon. Tho finger of political destiny appears to point in the direction of C. W. Fulton or H. W. Scott, with tho heavier chances Loss of the governor is unfortu nate, for mnny reasons; but tho bud stantial results of the campaign have been saved. A strong republican majority In tho legislature is assur ed; thoro will bo a republican United States Bouator, nnd ho will not be either Simon or Geer; Oregon's re publican representation in both houses of congress is to be maintain' ed; tho city of Portand remains in republican hands, and George H Williams is to bo tho mayor. On tho whole, considering tho pnrll in which tho party was placed by tho formid able combination between a venge ful and powerful faction and the democratic party of tho state tho re sult is more fortunate than many had feared It might bo, Oregon is still a republican state, Jt is easy to say Furnish ought not to have been nominated. But It was Furnish or Geer; and they who were resolved to shako Simon's hold upon tho party and had won a complete victory in tho primaries of Multno mah and other counties, woro unwil ling to give tho Simon machine tho advantage or opportunity or rehabili tation. For Goor, supposing Simon would control Multnomah and thoro- is your Hair worth One Dollar?
