DOLPH SURE TO WIN.
That's the Way His Portland Friends
Regard the Situation.
(Oregonlan.)
The fact that there was no change
in the joint ballot at Salem yesterday
is taken by the friends of Senator
Dolph ln Portland to mean taut he will
be able to hold his strength without
further material defection. Failure to
elect Wednesday was something of
blow to them, but confidence ls now
renewed that he will be elected. They
anticipate that the bolters will keep
up a desultory firing of votes at the
numerous candidates, but by Monday
or possibly today they will settle down
to the conviction' that a senator must
be elected, and then the choice of the
great majority of the Republican party
will be selected. Mr. Charles W, F'll
ton, of Astoria, accompanied by his
faithful lieutenant, John Fox, Is In
(he city, but his presence is due entire
ly to private business. He will not go tc
Salem today to take a hand in the sen-
atoria contest although a dispatch from
the capital states that he ls again be
ing groomed for the senatorshlp and
expected to leave for Salem at any
time. At the Perkins yesterday Mr.
Fulton stated that Ills coming to Port
land was entirely due to private busi
ness. He had no thought of going to
Salem, and should he get through with
his business in time last night, he
would take the boat for home, but he
did not anticipate gettlr.g away until
today. Mr, I'u'.ton is a strong believer
In the supremacy of the caucus rule, ;
and as soon as the majority of the Re.
publican members decided ln favor of
Dolph, he acquiesced in the decision,
and withdrew from the contest Mr.
Thomas H. Tongue, another prominent
candidate, also holds similar views, and
