After getting all the money in sight the highwaymen backed out through the open door and disappeared into the darkness aB mysteriously as they came.

FULTON UNDOUBTEDLY IS TURNED DOWN. While There Are Several Richmond In the Field, It Looks as If Scott la the Choice Republican Editor Are for Him. Tho Orogon Dully Journnl Is dig ging away ut tho truo conditions la tho f ruatorlnl fight. It finds that it la tho purpoBo to conter on u man from Multnomah county nnd II. W. Scott may bo tho man. Following Is the latest version ot tho matter: Wnltor F. Matthews, chairman of tho republican stato central commit too, Is quoted an Baying that tho suc cessor to Joseph Simons to a Boat In tho United States sonato must bo a Multnomah man. Matthews' Ultimatum. If truo as stated, that Chairman Matthews has given out ns his ulti matum that Multnomah county must furnish a successor to Simons, what then? Who of tho several aspirants horo in Portland will bo prosontod with a senatorial toga? Tho Mult nomah legislative delegation, with lta full strength ot 20 votes, will under any nnd all circumstances prove an important tactor whon It goes Into tho business of senator making. No posslblo combination could bo mado that would leave so largo and Import ant a factor out of consideration. Who Will Be the Man? Of tho Multnomah delegation, threo Honators nnd 13 representatives wore elected last Juno, nil candidates on tho republican ticket. A good deal wm said during and attor tho spring campaign that Chairman Matthews personally selected ovory legislative candldnto, and secured a distinct plodgo from oach that, If oloctcd, tlioy would support the man named by him for United States sonator Such roport Is not true; at least In Its ontirety. Thoro aro somo mora hers of tho Multnomah delegation who will never submit to dictation in the Interest of some particular aspi rant, but tho evldonco Is accumulat ing that an effort will bo mado to securo practical unanimity In the Multnomah delegation so far aB re gards a senatorial candidate. People Want to Know. Whom Chairman Matthowu favors no ono appears to know, and ho Ib giving out no tips just now. Some say it Is II. W. Scott, othors consider Solomon Uli'ach as tho man, whllo thoro nro thoso who profess to be lieve (hat tho dark horse bolng bo carefully groomed In tho privacy of political box stall, Is lona .-I liar than Charles II. Caroy, prosont chair man of tho republican city and coun ty committee. In addition to tl.cao, tho names of F. P. May, A. L. Af Ilia and W. D. Fenton aro sometimes mentioned While Chairman Matth ews Ib content to koop discreetly bo cret, tho growing interest that tho sonutorlal question has evoked de mands that somobody should show his hand or- bo smoked out. Tho poo plo nro wautlng to know who, besides Fulton und Geor asplro to senatorial honors, nnd they aro anxiously wait ing to bo relieved of tho tonslon that now distracts their minds during t sultry, sticky, exauporatlng warmth of summor's dog-day period. Can't Be Whipped In Line. It Is to bo believed that tho men comprising tho Multnomah loglsla- tlvo delegation are not to bo whipped Into line to support tho particular candidate of any man, The men oloctcd to roprosent Multnomah coun ty In tho next legislature will not prove thomselves subservient to one or moro politicians who have not the public good bo much at heart as the grinding of their own particular axes. The people of Muitnoraan county expect to bo fairly and well represented In the next legislature by thoso who have now such trust reposed In them. Tho man to be -selected to represent Oregon Jn the United States Bonato must be repre sentative of no faction, hut of all the peoplo and one whoso efforts s'H be directed in tno interest vi ju m (Concluded on page 5.) la ft U'." m am EV m I. h'
