'Whatwas destined to be one of the
most' eventful days of the , twenty-second
biennial, session of the Oregon Leg
islature, dawned lair and cri?p over the
Capital City yesterday and long ere.j
the time for the convention ot the tvv
august legisuative bodies the corri
dors of the stately edifice, ' which were
spick and span in a brand new, coat
of spotless white paint, were thronged
with an Interested and expectant pub
lic eager . to Jcatth the slightest hint,
however vague, as to v.'hat the develop
ments In the gre;,t struggle for polit
ical supremacy between ,tVo or more
powerful factions would reveal. Inter
est increaser until the stage of ex
citment developed as 'the day prog
ressed and 'witnessed the downfall rof
one great paction, which, through force
of circumstances , was compelled" to
yield to its more powerful onpnieTitif
ter one of. the grandest struggles that
has transpired under the great -dome for
many a day, arid, before the sun had
sunk below the horizon the great con
test was all over, hands were shaken
up all side . and -the great solons,
who, only a few hours before, were ex
ehcistng every effort to overthrow;the!r
own fellow delegates in order to gain a
slight pTestige Jin the workings of the
respective bodies, were laughing and
joking o;pr their success or defeat as
the case may be and had thrown all
politics aside and were prepared to put
their shoulders to the wheel iir one
grand united effort to start the. pond
erous legislative machinery in, -motion
for the good of their constituenfs.
It was a grand struggle and one
which while ft was a clean shaved
victory for the- . Brownell-Fiilton
fastlon in the Senate, resulted
In a complete- collapse of two strong
factions In the House of Representa
tives before the Harris-Fplton faction
yet it Is vehemently asserted by all who
were engaged In the contest that, with
possibly a few exceptions, the fight was
a' scrupulously clean one throughout
and that the line of victory was so
clearly defined that each of the de
feated candidates for the Speakership
can point out many instances in which
they have achieved great victories over
the other. ' ., ' ' ' J
In the Senate it was only 'a: two-spied
flght with strength equally Sdivlded.
twenty-two men in the caucus' casting
one ballot after another until fourteen
successive ballots had been cast' with
the vote standing; eleven for Brownell;
eleven for Smith, and one for Senator
W. W. Steiwer, of Gilliam. Grant.
Sherman, Wasco and Wheeler counties
This mtatt of affairs continued for nine
ballots before adournment ' for lunch
was taken and for five ballots after the
caucus Went Into session again without
a sign of a waver 'on any one's part
and It began to appear as though the're
would be a deadlock on organization
until suddenly; n the fifteenth ballot
the lone Steiwer, supporter yielded and
cart the decisive ballot for Senator
BrownelL There was a brief flurry oc
rasiohed by the announcement and the
slogans in the caucus carne out' for a
short breathing spell but, after con
gratulations and regrets had' been
passed generously aroundi they re
turned to the caucus room and decided
.upon he balance of the ticket without
unnecessary delay.! r- f -. -. ' ' ""
In the other end of the building a
more furious battle waa" being Waged
with honors about, even, and the ballots
were taken more frequently with a
slight fluctuation first In one direction
and then Smother biit 'neither faction
would yield sufficiently to give the oth
er any advantage.' This state of affairs
kept up'for nineteen successive ballots
before an adjournment, for lunch was
taken with a solid deadlock so far a
Eddy's candidacy., was - concerned and
the spoils wavered between Harris and
Davey with the balance Inclined slight
ly In the direction of the Utter, who.
it ls! stated, would have iwon the day
had faith been kept all around.
When the House Republicans went
back into caucus )n the afternoon there
was, no ballot- taken, for when the bill- ;
lot was being, prepared Representative
Eddy arow, reilixfng that the fight was
all off so far as be was concerned, and
in a neat little speech announced his
withdrawal from the contest In favor
of Mr." HarriSf lie had no sooner sat
down than- Mr, Davey arose and. In an
equally, ueat address In which he thauk-
CONDITION
Jed his-faithful following whom he saii
he fet he could have depended upon
j until the day of eternity, and also with-
drew. from the contest and moved that
Mr." Harris be the unanimous choice of
the1 caucus iand the great seige was at
'an end. This caucus remained' in ses
sion until 4 o'clock when the balance of
the ticket was completed as announced
! above. . ' ;:-'7 -
1 As the first hallot for United States
! Senator, will not be cast until Tuesday
morning, January 27th. the only thing
jof interest which is expected to trans-
pire is the Canvass of the vote cast at
! the last June election and the Inaugur-'
jation of the new Governor-elect. Geo.' E.
j Chamberlain, the former to be made to
j day" if nothing develops to prevent,
! while the latter event. If uninterrupted,
! is regularly scheduled for tomorrow,
i Just here It may be stated that, un-
la.. Mitt.M tir. atfeffitfniHIi arltilrfi
, cate4 all aund before the canrass ot
I the ballot is called up, an Interruption
'is quite likely to occur oday. Some
: jutle -discussion has arisen over the
subjeft as to whether Mr. Chamberlain
can ret.iin his office as District Attor
ney until he has taken the oath of of
fice as Governor and assume the duties
cf same.
This, he contends he has:the right to
do and to appoint his successor to the
district attorneyship and which, he as
serts", he intends to do. There is trou
ble brewing for Mr. Chamberlain upon
this scoi-e, however, in the form of
contention by Senator H. E. McGinn, ot
Multnomah, whr is equally as positive
and assertive that Mr". Chamberlain has
no right to hold, the attorney's office,
according to law, until he .takes the
oath of Governor, and he positively de
clares that he wlll'not allow the can
vars of the vote to take place until Mr,
Chamberlain resigns as District Attor
ney. Should he do so, it will give Gov
ernor Geer the power to.-appoint ;his
stirceffor as District Attorney.
Governor Geef would . express no
opinion in the matter except to say that
It was entirely In the hands of the Leg
islature to settle -the dispute and tnat
"If a vacancy was created in the office
of Distric t Attorney, or should, xist be
fore my term of office expires, I stand
ready to appoint a successor at a mo
rrent's notice." . '.
It certainly apiears ihet the conten
tion will arise, and. f it does, It will
certainTy -develop interesting propor,
tions. ''
The committee cn clerkships of tjie
House, appointed by Speaker Harris
yesterday afternoon, h?ld a meeting in
room No. 4. on the first floor of 1 the
Capitol building last evening and mad
all of the appointments of clerks for
the, House committees as provided by
law The House is allowed the sum of
$1S per day for clerk hire, including
the' salary of the Speaker and all the
officers, and the number of clerkship
was equally apportioned among all the
districts and It was left with the dele
gates from each district to select their
quota. This committee will report this
afternoon r as soon as it can : be
brought about. It Is also understood
that Speaker Harris has made, his
House committee appointments and
will also announce them today.
