Balem, Ore., Jan. 16. (Special cor
respondence.) Had It not been for
the absent-mindedness of Senator N.
Whealdon of Wasco county, In all
probability the balloting for the pres
idency of the senate would not have
been brought to such an early conclu
sion as It was and Senator Haines'
smiling countenance would not be
beaming from among the cozy cush
ions of the much-coveted Beat, It all
happened In a moment, however, and
It was all over before the Hodson
forces could realize It and recover
their lost ground.
- Senator Whealdon has been known
to be against the candidacy of Sen
ator Haines and had firmly resolved
to stand out until the last foe had ex
pired. When his name was called,
the next to the last upon the roll, the
senator from the county of big red
apples was probably thinking of that
IuhcIous variety of fruit, for he blurt
ed out, "Haines." He had no sooner
done it, however, until he realized his
mistake and made haste to recover.
He leaped to his feet, and changed
his vote to Hodson right away but it
was too late; two or three others had
Jumped to their feet simultaneously,
and agricultural lands obtained upon
fraudulent applications, etc'
The certificates held by De Lultlic
and others, aggregate about 80,000
acres of some of the finest timber land
In the state and were obtained
through A. T. Kelllher by means of
applications bearing' forged names of
applicants done by II. H. Turner, an
attorney of this city, whose disbar
ment proceedings are now pending
before the supreme court. There are
over 100,000 acres of land, obtained
by this means, the certificates of sale
of which have been cancelled by the
KtaU' land board and there are about
as many more acres of just as valua
ble land for which deeds have t been
Issued, but which under the decision
of Judge Wolverton, the state may re
cover title to by bringing suits In the
court to set the Instrument aside.
These lands are now worth from
17.60 to 10 per acre to the state, as
base for the selection of school lands
and the recovery of the same would
mean that the stato would reap a
rich harvest and the school funds in
creased by several hundred thousand
dollars. The land board will take the
matter up at the next regular meeting
all democrats, and changed their votes ' and may decide to take steps to re
to Haines and brought about his elec- cover all of the land available,
tlon on the first ballot of what was In- Preparing Moot llryun.
tended to be a long drawn out tie-up! Salem, Ore., Jan. 15. About 10 of
and fight, with Haines 17 votes to the the members of the Bryan reception
good; Hodson eight; tw democrats i committee, of which Senator M. A.
scattering, and two republicans ah-
Bent.
Hie Vote) In Detail.
Miller of Lebanon, Is chairman, held
a meeting In one of the rooms of the
governor's suite yesterday afternoon
It was somewhat of a surprise to and completed plans for the reception
the democrats, too, for, while It was
understood that Haines had them
lined up to vote at the proper time,
or whenever he could show them he
had 15 votes. It was not their Intention
of going over to him at that time.
The four democrats who brought
about Haines' election were Coshow
of Douglas, Caldwell of Yamhill,
Hedges of Clackamas and Smith of
Umatilla. With Senator Mays In the
city and Senator Coke of Coos and
Curry on the road, both Hodson men,
the latter combination hoped fo hold
out and prevent the election of Haines
until they could enforce their demands
for a change or some recognition.
It Is also learned that a proposition,
very unique and novel for a situation
of that kind, was made by the Hod
son supporters when they were Invit
ed from their closet to Join the Haines
caucus. It was not Intended that this
proposition should become public
property, but it was upon the same
principle of "murder will out"; it was
too good to keep. By this Interesting
little bit of scheming, should It prove
successful, the Hodson men hoped to
break into and scatter the Haines
strength, but It failed utterly, In fact
It raised a perfect uproar of laughter
In the Haines stronghold.
They proposed thnt each should line
up, like a "spellln' bee" and choose
one after another from the opposing
side, who should be horded Into one
corner of the room considered out of
It so far as their nomination for the
presidency was concerned. From
what was left of both sides, each side
having drawn eight men from the op
poHlte force, a candidate that would
be agreeable to both sides was to be
selected by ballot and agreed upon
as the choice of the caucus for the
supreme ruler of the upper branch of
the legislature. The Haines men did
not consider the proposition seriously
for a moment and the Hodson forces,
of course, kept the'r own corner.
When seen after the election Sena
tor Whealdon acknowledged that It
was absent-mindedness on his part
that he voted fpr Haines. He has al
ways been Identified with the Haines
element at previous sessions, but he
says he docs not approve of some of
the methods of organisation adopted
by Haines In his presidency candida
cy, one of which was the soliciting
the support of the democrats, and he
was determined to fight It out to the
finish.
CirrkM of Uio Senate.
Organization was completed by the
election of Frank Grant of Portland,
chief clerk, over S. T. Morehead of
Lebanon; Frank Mottcr, reading clerk;
Frank Lovell, calendar clerk; John
Hunt, journal clerk; G. O. Gnns, mall
clerk and W. S. Myer, sergeant at
arms.
Beyond the adoption of a concurrent
resolution appointing 1:30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon as the hour for hold
ing the Joint assembly, canvassing the
governor's vote and listening to the
rending of his Inaugural message, no
business was transacted by tly senate
and adjournment was had until 10:80
o'clock this morning.
After organization was effected In
the house there was not much busi
ness of consequence transacted ex
cept for the adoption of a resolution,
Introduced by Campbell of Clnckamns,
providing thnt al resolutions he re
ferred to a committee of five, to he
named by the speaker, for Investiga
tion nnd report.
Although there was no opposition
to the adoption of the resolution nt the
time. It developed afterward, as the
full meaning dawned upon the mem
bers of the house, that, had It been
given due consideration beforehand,
the result might have been different.
It Is looked upon as a sort of smother
ing oven or dead house for many of
the pet resolves of some of the mem
hers, which mny come up during the
session, and clothes the committee
with too much power to control legls
latlon.
State Mny Recover I -ami.
Salem, Ore., Jan. 16. The decision
of Judge Wolverton of the United
Stntes circuit court In sustaining the
demurrer ngalnst the complaint of
John Do Lalttre of Minnesota, to
compel the state to honor tho certifi
cates of sale of state land, held by
himself and others and aggregating
about 25,000 acres, means that the
state stands In a fulr way to recover
over 100,000 acres of valuable timber
of William J. Bryan during his visit
to the state this month.
Mr. Bryan will arrive in Portland
January 22. will deliver an address
before the Y. M. C. A. during the af
ternoon and will proceed to this city
In the evlnlng. He will deliver an
address at the opera house In the eve
ning and In the morning, January 24,
will make a brief talk to the students
of Willamette university and, if Invited
so to do, will address the legislature
during the morning session.
This will be the only address of a
political character Mr. Bryan will
probably make In this state. He will
then proceed to Eugene to address the
students of the 'State university, and
will probably make brief impromptu
talks from the rear platform of his
car at Albany and other stations en
route.
Hie Humorist of the House,
Salem, Ore.. Jan. 16. The specta
tors In attendance upon the opening
session of the legislature were given
their first treat to a little amusement
during the perfection H organization,
by Representative Herman Rothchlld

member of the house, which let n lit
tle light In upon the unique and amus

self. It was when nominations were de

and W. I. Vawter of Jackson and
Douglas, had just finished placing
Mr. Davy's name before the house us

Speaker pro tern, U. F. Jones of Polk
county, asked If there were any fur
ther nominations, when Mr. Roth
chlld arose and addressed the choir.
He said, in substance:
"Mr. Speaker, I nrlse to place In
nomination for this high honor a man
who Is the unanimous choice of the
minority party of the house for the
position. We are so few thnt it was
not necessary to hold a caucus so we
arrived . "ii decision Individually.
This man, whose name I am about to
mention, is the only democrat on the
floor of the house who can and will
uphold the dignity, honor and Integri
ty of his party. I refer to the Hon.
Herman Rothchlld of Union coumyS
whom J now place In nomination for
speaker."
The little Impromptu speech exe't-
ed a roar of laughter nnd Mr. Roth
chlld smilingly resumed his seat amid
a storm of applause. When the bal
lot was taken, however, Mr. Rothchlld
voted for Mr. Davey and the latter
returned the compliment by voting
for Mr. Rothchlld.
