SALEM, Or, Feb. 4. = The Benson
House and portion of the Senate met in

tive Huntington from the Benson Mitchell
body. he rose in his place and denounced
the means that were being used to force
members into a joint convention in
MitchelPs interest, and said ne could no
longer be a party to what now appeared
to him to be an illegal and revolutionary

strikers have disguised the whole COM

by ost of his friends. No vote was taken
