ELECTS TWO
UNITED STATES
SENATORS
Both Are Democrats and
Men of Destination in
Many Respects.
ONE is AN INDIAN
THE OTHER is BLIND

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 10.-1Robert
Latham Owen and Thomas Pryor
Gore were formally elected to the
United States senate today by the
legislature. Both are democrats.
Owen is of Scotch-Irish ancestry
with a mixture of Cherokee Indian.
His mother was the. daughter OF
Chrisholm. the last hereditary war
chief of the Cherokee nation. His
father was a distinguished confed-
crate soldier who later became presi-
dent of the Virginia & Tennessee
railroad.
Gore has the double distinction of
being the first blind member of the
United States senate and OF being
the youngest man in the body. He
is only 81 years old. Both of the
new senator's are prominent lawyers.
The republicans cast their votes
for Charles G. Jones. representative
at large from Oklahoma, and Chas.
B. Douglass. editor of the Muskogee
Phoenix.
The vote in the senate stood
Gore and owen 80; Jones and Doug
less 4.
The vote in the house stood owen
and Gore 40; Douglass and Jones
Is; two democrats were absent.
These votes show the relative
strength of the two parties in the

FEAR OF RESENTMENT TO
KILL EXCLUSION MEASURE

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 10.--No
Japanese exclusion law will be passed
by congress this session. People of
the Pacific coast may as well aban-
don all hope.
The president did not mention
Japanese immigration in his mes
sage to congress. Moreover, he has
assured Congressman Hayes of Cali
fornia, leader of the anti-Japanese
forces. that he will work to Kill the
bill.
There are two potent reasons. say
interested diplomats, why Jap
anese exclusion bill should not be
passed.
The passage of such a measure
would arouse japanese indignation
to a pitch that might precipitate
war. The United States Is so wholly
unprepared for war that 1t would be
grave diplomatic error to take any
action which would incite such in
slant hostility as might be expected
to follow the passage of an exclusion
measure.
When Secretary Taft visited
Japan a move was made to Impress
that country with the alleged deter
mination OF the United States 10 keep
out japanese labor. Japan will con-
slider such a measure an insult TO the
japanese people," was the Mikado' $
reply 10 the intimation.
Another reason why a japanese
exclusion bill is hopeless is the un-
familiarity Of eastern lawmakers with
the evils Of the Japanization of the
Pacific coast. only one of II eastern
congressman, interviewed today was
familiar with the japanese as immi-
grants
81 didn't know there was a Jap
anese question" said Pittsburg
| congressman. I'VE are troubled in
Pittsburg with a horde of undesir-
able immigrats from southern Eu-
rope. | would like TO have law
that would exclude this class of inn
migrants. but l have no objection
