TOM JOHNSON AFTER
SENATOR HANNA'S SEAT

CLEVELAND, Ohio. July 24.-An I'M
portant conference was held last even
ing at the home OF Mayor Tom L. John
son. Ii was attended by Democrats
from various parts OF the State. The
purpose of the gathering was to dis
cover means Of defeating the reelection
OF United States Senator Hanna. Mayor
Johnson believes the Democrats can
get control of the Legislature. which
he considers of more Importance than
the election of Democratic governor.
II is the general impression that he de-
sires the United States Senatorship and
will ask for IL If the LEGISLATURE is Dem
ocratic.

FULTON STILL LEADS.

SALEM, Or, Jan. PC. W. Fulton.
State Senator from Clatsop County,
gained three votes N the balloting for
United States Senator to-day, and il was
understood that at least three of the
MuItnomah County delegation will be
found voting for him before many more
ballots are taken. The nineteen members
from Multnomah County have distributed
their votes among half a dozen men on
the two ballots already taken. and at
present they have no concerted plan III
view. 1t is regarded as certain that Full
ton can hold his present support Of thir-
ty-one votes for some time. and with. the
three which he claims will come TO him
from the Multnomah delegation he will
be only twelve short of election. Ex-Gov-
ernor Geer lost two votes to Fulton to-
day, and IL is unlikely that he will regain
them, as the members announced in the
joint session to-day that they voted for
him on the first ballot in order to uphold
The Mays law, which allows the voter to
express through the ballot box his choice
for United States Senator. Ex-Governor
Geer having received a majority of all
the votes cast last June for United States
Senator, they felt it incumbent ulb)n them
TO vote for him on the first ballot There
is little talk Of caucus. and the indica-
tions now are that there will be none
called.
