DEVELOPMENT .OF CEN
TRAL OREGON PLAN.
Senator. Governor and New Stato En
glnccr AH In I'nvor of Irriga
tion Mcthodi on Gigantic
Plan In Future.
(Sptcbl to The Bulletin.)
SALEM, Nov. 28. -For tho pant 10
days Salem ban been almost a storm
center of political activity In tho
legislative arena and for tho first
tlmo In many blennlumn it begins. to
appear that tho state capital in get
ting almost as much Consideration
from thn ambitious In legislative or
ganization squabbles as tho Imperial
lobby In Portland.
These little conclaves of tho con
tending factions havo offorcd a flrat
hand chance to study tho situation
from this angle and apparently tho
presidency of tho ncnato and tho
speakership of the house aro a little
more complicated problems than at
first blush thoy appeared to bo.
It had been conceded on all hands
for a number of -weeks that Billy
Vinton of Yamhill would hava a
walkaway for the presidency ot the
senate, but one or two of his strong
est henchmen let the cat out ot tho
bag a few days ago whon they pro
claimed that ho bud 14 votes sewed,
up In a sack and was suro to walk
away -with it.
If Vinton has only 14 votesand
If he had nny more his first lieuten
ants would say so ho hasn't a walk
away by any odds nnd It Is barely
posslblo that the other 16 may effect
somo sort ot a compromise on an
other man and elenn up tho Yam
hlllor. Vinton was one ot Gus Mosor's
running mates two years ago whea
Gus landed tho presidency, and, as ha
has been hinted at before, he -wasn't
altogether populnr with every one la
the state senate. Ous had a good
organzatlon but It was badly
cracked In places by the time Uw
session was over, and uales taew
has been a change of heart darfag
the past two years, many a hold
over senator went home very, Tery
soro at the Moaer organization, even
though he supported It early In tho
session.
It must also be remombcred that
It Is Gus Moser, et al., making the
claims, and tho samo Gus Moser was
confident that ho -would bo nomin
ated for governor by at least tho
measly margin of 15,000 votes, Gus
didn't actually mako tho claim him
self as to tho 14 votes, but Arthur
Orton did. Ho stated thatAhere
woro that many llepubllcan votoa
lined up for Vinton and somo Demo
crats on tho side would also vote
for him, but no published claims
would be authorized by tho Vinton
following until tho full majority
of Republicans needed could bo lined
up behind Vinton no as to assure a
Republican organization. Of coursa
tho Democratic votes would- bo ac
cepted then to swell the total.
1$. L. Eddy of Roseburg and Bob
Fnrroll of Portland nro ranking
stab for tho sent against Vinton amd
It Is baroly posslblo that Farrcll aad
Edilv mlcht net together on somo
combination which would develop a
ono-mnn raco against Vinton. It
this is done Billy tho Yamhlller Is
apt to have a real, honest to goodnosB
scrap on his hands.
Over In the houso all bands are
confldont. Kap Kublln and Herb
Gordon ot Portland nro both confl
dont they havo enough to go over.
Down this way tho Marlon county
mon see a good chanco for Soymour
Jones, while Don Sheldon wus up a
tow dnys ngo from Southern Orogon
nnd snld whon tho votes nro counted
that nil you would hnvo to do would
bo to keep your glims pooled for
Benjamin J., and you would seo tho
next speaker. So what can anyonu
say about that? Plonty of speakers
to go all around nnd overy ono ot
thorn with the thing sowed up, In a
sack.
Tho doubtfulness ot the senatorial
situation und tho speakership situa
tion both Is evidenced by the rapid
fire uppearanco ot candidates 'and
tholr henchmen hero. Marlon county
has a heavy delegation and It la a
fight to lino up tho men from Oils
county, as on them may depend
