FULTONTHE PEOPLES CHOICE
EFFICIENCY OF LEADING CANDI,
DATE RECOGNIZED BY THE
PRESS THROUGHOUT
THE STATE.

Albany Herald: There are numerous
reasons why c. W. Fulton should be
elected to the United States senate at
this session, and that at an early date.
There are various qualifications reuuir-
ed for man to make an able, accept
able and efficient representative in the
upper branch of the national congress.
With these qualities Mr.. Fulton is De-
culiarly and tlttingly endowed. A man
to fill the place satisfactorily should be
in the vigor and prime of life. He
should be able, industrious and one who
can mingIe with men of national reputa
ton. He stands the peer Of any man
in the state in ability, energy and in
dustry, as his long residence and public
service in this state have we'll demon
strated. He also has that peculiar and
fitting faculty of being able to mingle
with great bodies Of men and make his
influence and power felt. His capacity
in this respect is equalled by few men
in Oregon, and probably surpassed by
none. He is absolutely reliable and Is
true to principle, purpose and to fliends
This would also make him a valuable
man in the senate.
His residence of more than % years
and his unusually large acquaintance
over the state and the conditions Of
every community in the state would
make him especially fitted to give the
entire state a valuable service in the
senate.
There is another feature of his cleo
tion that should have great weight at
this time and should make his cleo
ton preferable to most any man in the
state, and that is he could and would
work in perfect harmony with Senator
John H. Mitchell and is in harmony
with the administration on all great
public questions and both he and Sem
ator Mitchell would work in harmony
with Congressman Williamson, and the
election of the right kind Of a man TO
succeed the late Congressman Tongue
would give Oregon the strongest dele
CATION this state has ever had and one
which will give the state the best and
most satisfactory service it has ever
had.
There is absolutely no merit in the
claim of Portland against Mr.. Fulton
on account of mis- residence being at
Astoria. Place of residence should
have no bearing whatever in the seIec-
tion and would have no influence with
Mr.. Fulton in his services for the state
or Portland. Portland Is and will be
the chief business center Of the great
northwest and its future greatness will
largely depend on the opening Of orr
rivers and the development Of our re-
sources. There should be no rivalry
between Portland and Astoria. The
greatness of Portland means greatness
for Astoria in the same proportion.
Portland is and will be the head of
ocean navigation and Astoria will re-
main the seaport of Oregon. Their in
terests and prosperity are Identical. An
open river to Portland means business
for Astoria. No man in Oregon desires
an open river more than Mr.. Fulton
and no man in the state could or would |

TO override partisanship,

The new charter bill FOR Astoria
makes 1t hard on the 'tloating' voters
in that II provides that a person to
vote at municipal election must both
register and have paid his polltaN, the

the qualifications for registration
Such restrictive clause would be Il
wise provision in the charter Of every
town, for the transient voter is the
menace to an honest ballot for he has
nothing to stake and his vote usually
goes to the side that offers him the
best Inducements Medford Success
The proposed new qualification will
rot serve as the check our Medford
friend thinks, If a voter should be
required 10 provide himself with poll
tax receipt. it would mean that the
candidate would have to provide the
receipt, besides paying for the vote

coun;euds itself favorahly. The scheme

is all wrong. A senator should have

Hon. Charles w. Fulton is the choice

From every section of Oregon comes
a unanimous demand for the election OF
c. W. Fulton TO the United States SEN
ate. Newspapers everywhere through
out the state are voicing the sentiment
of the people, yet four weeks OF the
legislative session have gone by and
the opposition" is still doing business
at the old stand, While Mr.. Fulton's
ultimate success is almost certainty,
it is to the everlasting shame of the
legislature that the contest has been
allowed to drag on this long. The sit
uation is not new one to US, and fur
nishes ample reason for a constitution
al amendment for election of senators
by direct vote of the people.

Mr.. Fulton is today the popular can
didate OF the people of the state for
the place and the election OF no other
man would give such general satisfac-
ton 10 our people and TO the adminis-
,ration At Washington. II is time for
the gentlemen to do their duty In the
matter ana see to II at once that he
is elected and thus end the contest
agreeably to the people,
Eugene Register The Eugene
Register says that Fulton lis un-
douhtedly the most popular man In
the state for United States sena-
tor" How do they know? The
people have not said so. To test
that very matter is why MIR, Geer
challenged him to n contest before
the people under the very law
which he himself advocated and
voted for. Let Mr.. Fulton wait
four years for the senatorship and
come before the people as he should
for direct vote. and not after he
has refused them an opportunity
To declare themselves--Sal State
sman.
How do We know In the first place
YOU may travel the state over and you
will find thousands Of voters who will
tell YOU that they voted for repuh-
lican rather than democrat, not be-
cause 1t was Geer, but because his
name was on the republican ticket and
they voted for the principles of the
party and not particularly for the
man. These same voters win tell you
today that IL they had TO do 1t over
again now knowing the course Geer
pursued as they did not know 1t dur
ing the campaign, they would not vote
for him under any circumstances. How
do We know? Because a vast majority
of the legislators chosen by the people
are for Fulton. II they were not voic-
ing the real sentiment of their constitu-
ency. do you think for moment they
would be standing like stone wall for
Fulton? How do we kno%? Because
the republican press, outside OF Salem
and Portland, is practically unanimous
for Fulton and do you think they would
dare take such a position II they did
not have the people behind them?
There is nothing but froth In all the
of the Statesman over the
popular vote for senator. Geer tried
to win the senatorship by turning n
trick that failed to turn. He is down
and out Of the race and the Statesman
is wasting its tears for nothing. The
people don't want Geer for senator and
will not have him.

OLD MEN IN THE SENATE.

Senator Pettus of Alabama, who has
just been reelected, was born July g.
1921. He was old enough at the time
Of the great webster-Hayne debate
10 have had the rumor of that historic
struggle make some impression upon
him, and he was practicing law soon
after the Tippecanoe campaign. Later
he served in the Mexican war, and
then he was one of the forty-niners,
going all the way to California on
horseback, AT the opening of the Civil
war; which now seems so remote to
most of his countrymen, he was enter
Ing middle life. He served throughout
that war, returned to the practice of
law in Alabama and was first elected
to the United States senate in the win
ter of 1862. when he was rs years
old.
In a review of this long career its
most singular feature. seeing that it
has led to political honor, is the post
ponement of political activity. The
senator was judge in the SOS; after |
that he was never a candidate for a |
political office until his name was pro-
posed for the senatorship. But there
are and always have been old men in
the senate. The year that Mr.. Pettus
was first elected to seat in that body |
Senator Morrill, of Vermont was re-
elected, ana Senator Morrill, was born |
in 1910, so that he was S6, or some four
years older than the Alabama senator |
is now. Senator Morgan, the colleague
OF Senator. Pettus, was born in 1924.
and quite an array Of senators beyond |
the three score years and ten might |
be presented by arranging them ac-
cording to the years of the birth as
follows:
1S2l-Pettus of Alabama.
1S24-Morgan of Alabama
1S26-Hoar of Massachusetts, Hawley
of Connecticut.
1S27-Platt of Connecticut, Stewart of
Nevada.
1s2s-Cullom Of Illinois, Allison of
Iowa.
1sSo-Jones of Nevada, Teller of Col
orado, Vest of Missouri.
1S31-Proctor Of Vermont, Frye of
Maine.
OF these senator's Stewart was the
first elected when he was 81, but he
has not seen continuous service since.
Jones was senator at 43, Allison at
A, and Teller at &C. Most of the others
We're prominently identified with poll
ties long before they entered the sem
ate. But whether the beginning was
early or late, the list shows that we
have our Nestors in public life TO match
against the venerable statesmen of
Europe.

AN OHIO LAWYERS BILL.

Here is the story of an Ohio lawyer who did not become a politician, as he was not built on political lines. It is told by a Washington man, who was his clerk at one time. Lawyer B. was a gruff sort of parsonage, and believed in making everyone pay for every ser vice. One of his clients was the pres ident of a bank, who, during the pend ency of his case, dropped into the law yer's office very frequently and told stories. The lwayer was a good listen CT. and seemed to enjoy the stories very much, but after the banker went out Lawyer B. would say: Here charge MT. Blank $10 for an hour of my time. If have got to listen to his stories he has got to pay me for it. Finally the bill was made out and carried to the banker. It was an itemized account. stating the date of each call. He scanned it closely and remarked:
 He has made me pay for it pretty we'll, hasn't he?'
 Pay for what?" asked the clerk.
 For listening to my stories"

AS TO TEXAS HOSPITALITY
Welcome Which a Railroad Surveyor
 Thought Was Great.

The man who had been in Southwest Texas looking over the route for pros- pective railroad had been interested in reference to hospitality in its truest sense.
 All day long I had been driving with | a man in the dust and the question of a camping place involved the finding of the necessary water,' he said "There were no streams; no water holes; only dust and hills and alkali.
 Just before sundown we came ir sight of some scrubby timber rising from a draw ahead of us and we start ed for it. Just as we turned the ridge we noticed a lonesome looking shack in the edge of the trees and we drove up to 1t just as darkness came on.
 "The first sight of anything living was a lean foxhound that dashed out at us, paying; he was followed by two more, and after these pair of collies and then a miscellaneous collection of dogs of all shades and breeds, bent upon at tacking us, but snarling and biting even among themselves.
 Suddenly long, lean figure of man with a hairy face out of which on- y was showing charged upon the dogs with stick sending them scuttling un- der the house again. Then without a word he came up to us with his eyes fixed on the horses.
 Tt was not an ideal situation for a Jagged team and two worn, thirsty men, but I tackled the proposition. I didn't mention anything about rail- road, but I laid beautiful stress upon our condition and our needs for a camping place where there was water.
 And while I talked he was looking over the team from the front. As I talked some more in my most engaging manner he stepped around to the side of the off horse to look him over, broad side.
 ''It would be the greatest favor i'm aginable if only we might stop here I continued. We will make you no trou- ble and are more than willing to pay for feed for our team
 He was at the side of the off horse by this time, and was almost too dis couraged to say anything more. think ing perhaps, we had been taken for a pair of horse thieves. I made an other attempt to move him, however. when he strengthened up, expectorated an immense charge of tobacco juice under the horse and looked into my face for the first time.
 Want to stay all night. hey?"
 'I was trying to tell him again just how much we wanted to do that very thing when he broke in.
 "'Well. ef you want to stay all night I reckon you've struck the damnedest most lively place this side of the Pecos river
 "Hospitality?" repeated the man who had been in Texas. Say, that was the greatest welcoming I ever had in my life!"

The influence that the work of Elmer son has had on the civilization of the world is not to be taken as less than a great power.
