Kuykendall Elected President
County
Ballots
The Legislative Assembly metf at tbe
hour of adjournment yesterday morn
diw, the House to begin basinets as a
regularly organized body; the. Senates
to pass the dav in wrangling over who.
should be the President of that body.
The minority held out as the ' day 'be
fore, voting nine-for Carter.
Aftera few ballots in tbe morning,
the Senate adjourned till 2 o'clock. It
became known to the Carter men that
Senator Squire Farrar of this county,
- had felt tbe pressure of his constituents
; and that he intended to vote with the
majority, he seeing the futility of fur
ther backing the Senator from Jackson
There was no doubt at all that if. Sen
ator Farrar were to east his vote for
Senator Kuykendall, that. the matter so
long pending would be settled and it
was the intention to take a ballot im
mediate.lyafter dinner yesterday, but
, rumors fame to the leaders of the Kuy
j kendall forces that a couple of their
supporters w ve apt to make a break
away " from their candidate, and there
fore there was bo objection on the part
of -either party to a motion for a recess.
A short time after the first recess was
, called it became evident that a settle
ment of the difficulties was about to be
made and" one recess after another-was
railed, until at 5 o'clock the session fi
nally got together for the final ballot
which resulted in the election of Sen
ator Kuykendall as President of the
Senate.
The result met with general satisfac
tion and the feeling was that the prop
er thing -was done by all those who bad
been hoblinar out. Their" final action
KepuDiican u tneir nrst was not.
The Senate after adjournment arrang
pel for a caucus of the Republican Sen
ators to nominate minor officers of that
l6lv and the final organ izatitui of that
body will occur this morning.
Senate Caucus. ;
The Republican memberalfof the Sen-
"ate held a caucus last evening in one
siif . the rooms in the Senate chamber.
Thev selected the following candidates:
. L. Moorhead, of Junction City, for
chief clerk; Frank Motter, of Portland,
reading clerk; Frank Turner, of Salem,
calendar 'clerk; G. P. Terrell, of Mar
ion count v, sereeant at arn:, and Wil
liam Smith, of Clackamas county, door
keeper,, The pages for the Senate will
be nominated by the President when
the bodv convenes in the mornln-g.
The proceedings ,of the eaueus passed
ffwitJi a noticeable absence of fric-
fion and the selection of the above can
didates' for the .positions caused no dis
agreements or wranglings whatsoever,
as their choice was unanimous in each
instance. The caucus lasted about one
hmir. The selection of these men as
sure their election.
The Election of .President.
Immediately after, the caucus be
tween the Carter and, Kuvkendall fae-1
tions yesterday afternoon, the members j
repaired to the Senate Chamber. Xne
roll; was called and the 'temporary Pres
iderit announced that the sixty-fifth bal
lot for the selection of chairman of the
Senate, would be cast, whereupon Sen
ator Carter stood up and said in part:
"Mr. President: For two daj'S this
Senate Chamber has "been the scene, of
a very stormy arid noteworthy factional
fight," in which the two oprmsing forces
have len deadlocked. I have been the
candidate for the President of the. Sen
ate in opposition to Senator Kuyken
dall. I thank rov supporters for their
effort to effect my election and while I
I will not admit defeat, have no desire
t hold up r the legislation and I now
withdraw my name as a candidate for
the Presidency of the Senate,"
The sixty -fifth ballot was taken and
Kuvkendsli unanimously elected as
President He was sworn in by Ju'tice a ; ppriation of $25,000 from the gen- Hunf, anlh fi"vnt? of ctobr'
Rean of the Supreme Court, and hwLVfon for the erection of suitable! 13 an that this general as-
speech of acceptance said:
"I find myself upon becoming Presi
dent! of the Senate, owing a debt of
gratitude .that I ean never repay tp my
fellow-Senators who have so faithfully
and unflinchingly supported. me in my
anililacy. For those who opposed me
I will sav that they have caused me
manv sleepless nights. I admire their
. conrsrje and persistency and desire to
thank them for eominir to my rescue
1b entering upon' my. duties as Presi
dent of the Senate I do so with a de-
"fication. I am the mouthpiece f-
bodv-of men who -I believe are trying
c eliminate factional "uarrels and an
tagonism, and trust that the expiration
of the time allotted for us to endeavor
:t(l(?sk rntr Aiirxr 41, nMnt Will b
soteWorthv as the closing of one of the I
.nst harmonious and entirely successful
c5ions of the Senate in the history
or the state of Oregon.'
