OREGON DEADLOCK LOSES NO vIooI
Three Weeks Session and No Busi-
ness Accomplished.

Salem, Or, Jan. 29-The third week of
the state legislature has expired and the
lower branch of that body is still unor-
ganized. Both divisions of 1t adjourned
today. the Benson house until Monday
afternoon and the Davis until tomorrow
1t is predicted that the deadlock will be
broken some time next week There can
be no doubt that the deadlock has had a
disastrous effect upon Senator Mitchelrs
candidacy. The opposition to Mitchell
have made 1t plain that they will never
organize the house until Mitchell Is de-
feated, and are using this argument with
such effect that 1t Is becoming doubtful
whether 46 members, or a majority of the
legislature, will go into a joint conven-
ton next Tuesday and vote for senator.
Senator Mitchelrs friends say that they
will, while the opposition claims that
Mitchell can now depend on only 80 votes.
If Senator Mitchell can secure his cleo
ton in this manner he will at once re-
turn to Washington and rest his case
with the senate. In the event that he
does not, he will remain and fight 1t out.
Mitchell claims everything is favorable
to his election next Tuesday.
