The jo in t assembly of the Oregon
legislature for th e purpose of electing a
U nited States senator at noon W ednes
day cam e to naught. The M itchell
forces could only get forty members to

possible to secure forty-six, th e re
quired num ber, a recess was taken u n
til 7:30 in th e evening, but the night
session developed no change.
Senator Reed tried to get a sta te

which house was particip atin g in the
assembly.
Brownell would not suy
and Reed walked out of the room, leav

Benson house Lake was alisent.
The sensation of th e convention was
th e aotion of Senator H asletine, who
was considered one of M itchell’s w arm
est supporters. H asletine was present
when th e roll was called. He did not
answ er to h is name, and the chair
asked him if ho wished to be recorded
as present. H aseltlne said:
"M r. P resident, there is no question
in my m ind as to th e illegality of the
vote yesterday, and 1 therefore decline
to oome in at p re se n t."
