Fulton's' Charge That Governor's
Statement Was Made for FoUtlcad
Purposes a This Time Unwarranted
m View of Fact That BtnXeroent Was
Made Two Years Ago Recalls En
tire Incident to Senator Governor
Says Fulton Admits Grounds of
ProteM Against Smith.
Governor Chamberlain ' made the
following comment when shown the
text of Senator Fulton's reply to the
charges of F. J. Heney:
"The intimation In Senator Fulton's
reply to Mr. Heney Is that my state
ment was made to Mr. Heney 11 years
after the time when It Is said that
money was paid to J. 8. Smith, and
that I mads the statement for political '
purposes and to aid in accomplishing
Senator Fulton's defeat In the present
campaign.
"To show that this Intimation Is
neither fair nor Just I deem it proper
to Say that Senator Fulton knew
when he prepared his reply to Mr.
Heney address that these were not
the facta. -He knew that my Informa
tion was given to federal off.clals In
the coarse of an Investigation which
they were making about two years
ago, and waa not given for the pur
pose of the address recently made by
Mr. Heney. Evidence of the untruth
fulness of this statement Is afforded
by the following telegrams, the first,
of them having been received by me
from Senator Fulton on .February I,
1908: . .
' 'Washington, D. C Feb. t. 1908. -
Governor George E. Chamberlain, Sa
lem, Ore. Have Just received copy of
Henejfs speech. Before making state
ment ask you If you ever made state
ments as credited therein to you. It.
is of course impossible that I shonld
have said anything of the character
to you, and I call on you to repudiate
same.
"C. W. FULTON.
The next day I sent the following
reply:
"Salem, Ore., Feb. 4, 190$. To
Hon. C W. Fulton, Washington, D. C.
My statement used by Heney In ad-
dress substantially correct as given
by me to one of federal officials about
February, JS06, in answer to request
for statement as to what took place
at time of your protest against Smith's
appointment to position at prison.
About same time same statement
made to Heney. , Tour protest was
made In hearing of myself and two
other gentlemen, voluntarily, and as I
supposed to influence my official ac
tion,, and was the first intimation I
ever had that Smith bad received
money. Because of your protest In
vestigation was made by me aa to the
subject matter of your charges
aga nst Smith. It was talked of con
siderably In course of my investiga
tion. I did not consider your pro
test of any of the proceeds of a con
fidential nature, but in the line of my
official duty.
" 'GEORGE E.. CHAMBERLAIN.'
These telegrams, taken together.
are sufficient to show that my state
ment , concerning the Smith transac
tion was not made for the purpose ef
Injuring Senator Fulton Jn his present
campaign, any more than the - facta
were used be to Injure him during
his' senatorial candidacy before the
legislature of 190J. The facts were
not used then, and so far as I am con
cerned were only used In the course
of an Investigation two years ago by
the federal authorities. '
"That Senator Fulton made the
protest against. Smith's appointment
to a position In the penitentiary and
that the grounds for his protest were
as stated by ms are practically admit
ted by him. There is nothing further
in reference to the matter that I care
to say. I leave It to the people to
determine the whole controversy and
to decide a to the moral aspects of
the whole transaction."
