FOR SENATOR Governor Chamberlain Comes Before the People Championing Statement No. 1. George E. Chamberlain, governor of Oregon, is a candidate for the Unit ed States senate, to succeed Charles W, Fulton. Yesterday afternoon the gov ernor made the announcement of bis candidacy, pledged himself, should be be elected, to serve tbe people of the state irrespective of party, fairly, earnestly and impartially, and promis ing should the office fall to him, to plaoe country above party and to sup pott those, measures whether of a Re publican or a democrat administration, which his conscience approved as best calculated to promote the best interests of tbe country at large and the state of Oregon. In making his announcement, Gov ernor Chamberlain states that be has been requested by friends of different political belief to become a candidate for tbe office. He has received tbe indorsement of his own party in differ ent oonnties of the state. In outlining his position tbe gover nor places himself straight as a firm believer in and supporter of the direot primary law and in tbe right of tbe people of tbestate to nominate candi dates for all offices. He reiterates bis belief in the principle that tbe people should by direot vote eleot tbe United States senators, and takes tbe stand that no member should be elected to tbe legislature who does not sign State ment No. 1 withont qualification. Ibe principle of the direct election of tbe senators in tbe state is tbe only issue in the present campaign, the governor contends, and it is one wbioh involves the maintenance of the pri mary law in its integrity aud the right of tbe people to rule It is a death struggle between the people on tbe one band and a corrupt system on the other. Governor Chamberlain was born in Natobez, Mississippi, January 1, 1854. He graduated in Washington and Lee university in 1876. aud oame to Oregon in Deoember of tbe same year. " He served iu tbe third judicial dis tiiot for two years as district attorney ; from 1891 to 1396 he was attorney gen eral of Oregon ; be was elected prose outing attorney of tbe fourth judioial distriotin 1900; in 1902 be defeated W. J. Furnish of this oouuty, for Gov ernor, and in 1906 was re-elected gov ernor over his republican opponent, James Witbyoombe. ATHENA EASILY BEAT MILTON Six Innings In Mud Went to Score of Five to 0. And tbey came in tbe rain played ball in tbe rain and went home in the rain. v Tbere were six innings of it flound ered ont in a sea of mud on the Athena diamond, Sunday afternoon, and when old "Jup" wouldn't push tbe olouda away, the crowd left the grounds leav ing the score board leading, Athena 5; Milton, 0. . During the short session of mud wallowing the fruit eators used two pitchers and tbe kids jr., placed three twirlers on tbe mound. Goose eggs were plucked by both sides in the first two innings, but iu tbe third Athena soored.' In tha fourth fonr scores were annexed by tbe borne team and tbereafter tbere was nothing doing.

Soott, Mr. Soott died suddenly of heart failure yester day at Long Beach, California, wbere he went about six weeks ago to visit bis brother, James Soott. It is proba ble tbat tbe body will be brought here for boriaL While for the past two years relatives were aware tbat Mr. THOISJ, HAILEV Death Ends Career of Highly Respect ed Citizen of This County and State. Thomas G. Hailey, ex-distriot at torney of this judioial district, and until a few months ago, when be re moved to Portland, an honored resi dent of this oounty died in Portland Sunday night after a long illness re sulting from intestinal tiouble. After serving with honor on tbe supreme benob, Mr. Hailey went to Portland and engaged in the practice of law, being a member of tbe firm of Chamberlain, Hailey & Thomas. It was while engaged in the big wa ter suit at Milton last fall, tbat Mr. Hailey was first attaoked with tbe malady whioh eventually caused his death. Two surgical operations for bis relief were of but little benefit to bim. Tbe funeral took plaoe at Port land Wednesday afternoon. The following biographical sketch of Judge Hailey 'a life was written by Judge Lowell, bis former law partner: Thomas Griffin Hailey, son of John Hailey, formerly delegate in congress from IdahOtf and Lucinda Griffin, bis wife, was born at La Grande Oregon, July 13, 1865. His parents removed to Idaho during bis early childhood and the boy was raised and ednoated at Boise City. He received his legal training in tbe office of Cox & Minor (L. B. Cox and Wert Minor) at Pen dleton, Oregon, and in the law depart ment of Washington and Lee Univer sity at Lexington, Virginia. About tbe year 1888 he opend an office for himself in Pendleton and continued iu tbe practice of bis profession in that city until tbe winter of 1905-6 when he removed to Salem to fill by guberna torial appointment tbe seat on the su preme bench of the state made vacant by the transfer of Judge Wolvertou to the federal bench. He was for a year a member of tbe lawlQrm of Fee, Carter, Hailey & Aus tin, with offices at Pendleton and at Union, Oregon, and later became a partner of tbe late John J. Bailer ay of Pendleton. From 1892 until 1905 and again from 1902 until he left Pen dleton, he was a partner of Stephen A. Lowell. By all tbe men thus asso ciated with bim he was regarded as a lawyer of marked ability, both as an advisorand advooate, and bis woik as a member of tbe supreme court during tbe year tbat he was a, member thereof indioated tbat he was a jurist of high obaraoter. In politios Judge Hailey was a dem ocrat and as suoh was district attorney for tbe Sixth judioial district from 1900 to 1904, and during a portion of those years wes mayor of tbe oity of Peudleton, declining re-eleotion in each office. In both those positious he was an official who recognized tbe binding force of his oatb of offioe, and he ad ministered all laws fully and impar tially. When bis term as supreme judge ex pired early in 1907, he became a mem ber of tbe firm of Chamberlain, Tbomai & Hailey and looated iu Portland, where be was rapidly making friends and building a valuable business wbon bis health failed in the fall of tbat year. He was a man of broad visiou and publio spirit, always interested in tbe development of tbe state, and bis -in fluence was invariably thrown on the side of politioal decency and oivio righteousness. He was a life long communicant of tbe Episoopal church and a valued member of its councils. Judge Hailey was married in 1892 to Maud L. Beach of Aokley, Iowa, who, with her two children, Genevieve aud Elizabeth, survive bim. His domestic lite was most happy. With a gifted and devoted wife and two young daughters bis borne was ideal in its charm. In bis departure tbe family, the oorum unity and tbe state meet unusual loss. Peebler for Recorder. John Q.
