NEW SENATORS IN IT.
Old Traditions Of the United States
Senate Smashed BY Fulton and
Associates.

A recent communication received by
The Astorian from Washington, d. c.,
speaks Interestingly Of the prominence
gained during the present session OF
the new members Of he senate. The
letter says in part:
Recent events have smashed a SEN
atorial tradition. For years the new
senators who did more than present pc
titlons, introduce bills, answer to the
roll call, or announce his pair during
his first session was too forward and
pointed out as the man who did not
conform to the senate regulations. But
that tradition is a thing of the past.
Perhaps II may again be revived and
new senator's made aware that, like lit
tie children, they should be seen and
not heard, but for the present the un-
written la wof century has been put
far back on the shelf The tradition
was really fractured in the last con-
gress, Then Senators Paterson, Bailey,
Carmack, Simmons, Burnham Burton,
and several others'claimed hearing in
the senate regardless OF the old idea.
This year the tradition has been brok-
en- into fragments. Senators Newlands,
Fulton Clarke, of Arkansas, Stone,
Hopkins, Latimer, McCroary and Over
man have all made speeches and some
Of them have engaged In debate with
older senators. these men, having opin-
ions, have expressed them; having
arguments to make, have presented
them to the senate And no one seems
the worse for it. Business In the SEN
ate proceeds as usual, and the new men
get as respectful a hearing and as
close attention as some of the older
senator's and great deal more than
some senator's

CANDIDATE poRTER's RECORD

Eli IL. Porter, the Democratic nominee
for governor served in the legislature of
1892, 1900 and 1902, and in every
one Of them has been ranked by the
reporters at tho press table as among
the ten leaders Of the house. In
1892 he was on the committee that
framed and carried through the bill for
the town sytsem Of schools, and was
recognized as one Of the leaders in that
hard fight. He also led the fight that
resulted in the defeat of the scheme for
the removal Of the county seat-s
scheme in support Of which Mr. Haskins
and the nearly solid Republican politi-
clan phalanx OF this county were
united. They were not thinking OF Mr..
Porter as a little fellow" at that time.
Porter introduced al this session also the
bill, which passed, changing the hour for
opening the polls at state and national
elections He and T. j. Boynton pre-
pared and drafted the license bill Of that

Republican, 10 introduce, and for which
the latter has always had the credit

committee on rules and also q the com-
mittee on banks. At this session he in
