Salem, Feb. 21. Charles W. Fulton,
of Astoria, state senator from Clatsop
county, was selected United States
senator to succeed Joseph Simon, on
the 18th ballot, last night.
There was high excitement through'
out the evening session, and the state
house presented the same old feveriBh
expectancy that has been the leading
characteristic ot the senatorial eleo
tlons, since the possibility of a dead'
lock first crept Into Oregon politics.
At first tho vote showed a tendency
to remain unchanged, despite the
whispered prophecies of an early
break and a landslide for a dark
horse.
Members answered the roll call for
the old candidates with a snappy de
termination that seemed to denote a
certain deadlock.
Not a change of couutenance could
be seen in all that body of legislators.
Thore was absolutely no tremor "in
tho voices for the first four ballots.
Then Mays, of Multnomah, switch
ed from Williams to Geer. A momen
tary ruffle of the complacent visages
was seen. The members straighten
ed up in their seats In expectancy.
No further change was made, until
urton deserted tue venerable mayor
of Portland and toolt shelter under
the shadow of the -'Tall Tamarac."-
All this time the friends of the va-
rious candidates were busy. While
the clerks were footing up the bal
lots the members were intermingling
in confusion, visiting and campaign
ing. The 17 democrats had no factional
gods to appease, and sat in their
seats, amused and interested specta
tors in the drama that had a senator
In making.
When Senator Andrew C. Smith, of
Multnomah, arose to nominate H. W.
Scott, there was a breathless silence.
In a neat and well-worded speech he
presented tho name of the Oregon
Colossus to the joint assembly. No
sooner had he finished than the wild
cheers drowned the voice of the pres
ident, who vainly rapped for order. 1
Quiet restored, Malarkey, of Mult
nomah, arose to second tho nomina
tion of Scott, when the first disorder
ly demonstration of the entire ses
sion was shown. The Geer men hiss
ed Malarkey and hooted the name of
Scott, shouting wildly, "Goer," "Geer."
On the first ballot after Scott's
nomination, Geer's force of 30 vanish
ed like a snow man before a Chinook
wind. Six stalwart veterans stood
firmly by him. Scott had 28 votes on
the first ballot, while Fulton's 33
swelled to 35.
From the 14th to tho 18th ballot, the
greatest confusion prevailed.
The Geer forces, absolutely demor
alized, canvased In vain.
The Fulton soldiers showed no sign
of weakening.
The 17 democrats. smoked and voted
for Wood.
On the 18th ballot the usual monot
onous roll call had proceeded but a
short way, when a Scott man, with
trembling voice, announced that the
time had arrived to elect a senator,
and voted for Fulton. Like sheep
crowding through a narrow gap, tho
Scott forces rushed Into the Fulton
ranks, Bpeaker following speaker In
quick succession.
i When the vote was counted, Ful
Ton had the necessary 40 and the 22d
legislative assembly was at an end.
Fulton made a neat speech, thank'
Ing the members for the support and
the joint assembly adjourned.
Following is the vote in detail:
First ballot Senate called in at 8
o'clock. Fulton 33, Geer 27, Wood
17, Williams G, scattering 4.

Hume going to him. Fulton 33. Geer

At 10:28 the following message was
sent out: Jonathan Bourne has form

pose of electing the latter senator.
Scott expects all of Goer's voto, but
Fulton's friends say ho cannot get all.
Fulton says that unless he himself Is

Salem, Ore., Feb. 21.- Governor
Chamberlain yesterday returned sen
ato bill No. 50, Introduced by Senator
Booth, to senate with his veto. The
bill provides for the protection of
forests and lumber and was thought
to have been a meritorious measure
until it underwent the keen scrutiny
of the governor, who discovered num
erous irregularities in it which he did
not look upon favorably and he com
mcntcd upon It as follows;
The bill purports to be for the
protection of forests and timber of
the stato against forest fires. Its ob
ject is worthy, but I cannot give my
assent to tho measure beforo mo for
many reasons, two of which I will
now consider.
"First. It appropriates $5,000 annu
ally for the purpose of carrying out
tne provisions of the act, but while
this appropriation Is made, the bill
by Its very terms, authorizes tho ere
atlon of claims against tho state and
the several counties which may reach
as much as $50,000 in ono year, for
which deficiency appropriations would
havo to be made at the next session
of the legislature to cover the state'.
portion thereof.
"The commissioners named in the
act are authorized to appoint at least
one person in each county of the state
as a fire warden they may appoint
more. Say that they do appoint two
In each county, Tho salary for each
Is not to exceed $300, Sixty-six flro
wardens at $300 each, Is $19,500 per
annum.
"The flro wardens In each county,
at the request ot the commission,
have power to nominate, with the ap
proval of the commission, five rang
ers, whose salaries aro to be paid by
the counties, and are not to exceed $2
per day, while employed In actual
service. The secretary of tho com
mission is to receive $5 per day for
tne time actually employed by him
ana be, together with each of the
commissioners, receives mileage at
the rate-of five cents per mile for tho
oistance actually traveled in the per-
lormanc of duty.
"It Is safe to say that there will be
applications filed with tho commis
sion to appoint men to tho full limit
of their power of appointment, and
tne expense in the very nature of
things is bound to be large, however
capablo and honest the commission
may be.
'A largo indeutedness will surely
cr created against the state and nura
trous claims against tho several coun
ties. Protection of the timber Inter
ests of the sato may Justify tho ex
pense, but it seems to mo that the
bill itself ex vi termini, should limit
tho amount of moneys which the com
mission shall expend, and nn appro
priation maay inerefor.
faecond: Another objection tn the
act is the fact that tho legislature un
dertakes to deprive the executivo of
the state of tho power given him by
the constitution. It will be noticed
that this act names the five commis
sioners, who aro to hold their olllces
for four years, after which the execu
tive is to appoint an admission on
the face of the act that the executivo
is the oropor person to annolnt the
commissioners and not the legisla
ture
"For the reasons stated. I return It
herewith with my veto."
