Mulkey for Short Term Has All
Of the Eighb-Seven
Votes Cast.
PRACTICALLY NO CONTEST
For First Time Two Candidates for
United States Senate Each Obtain
Majority Of Each House in
The Legislature.

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 22.-Jonathan
Bourne with so votes out Of 81 cast and
Frederick w. Mulkey, will 81 out OF
81, were elected long and short term
United States senator's respectively, at
noon by the Oregon legislature, S.n-
ate and House balloting separately
Tomorrow at noon formal join: oal
lot will be taken.
In the Senate Mulkey received y
votes. with Mays, Miller Uinn) AMI
Hart absent Bourne got 23. Those
voting against him were Booth, Lay
cock, Whealdon and Miller (Marion)
The other four votes went to Bean.
In the House Mulkey received the
whole so votes for the short term. Tor
the long term Bourne got 81, F. A.
Moore two and Mulkey /. Rogers AM
Reynolds voted for Moore and Settle
meier for Mulkey.
1t was the first time in the history
of Oregon that two candidates for
United States senator each obtained II
majority of each House in the Leg
islature. 1t was the first time, alsc,
that the people of the state ever had
an opportunity to express their pref
erence for thes positions, amounting
practically to the election of senators
by popular vote.
The method of electing the senator's
has been a subject of controversy for
several days past, opinion differing on
law. To settle this, President Haines
prefaced the ballot by reading the law
at the time the vote was to be taken.
The law says the name of the person
voted for senator who receives ma
jority of the whole number of vot -
cast in each House, shall be enterel
on the journal of that house. At II
noon on the day following the mem
bers of the two houses shall convene
in joint assembly and the journal If
each house shall be read, and if the
same person has received a majority
of all the votes in each house, he shall
be declared duly elected.
Even now that Bourne and Mulk4v
have received majorities, many sena
tors and representatives are hazy On
the status of the case and assert 10
joint assembly is necessary tomorrow
Never before has the senatorial toga
been delegated without a bitter po-
litical contest. Today two togas were
distributed on one ballot each, prac-
tically without opposition, and with
but seven dissenting votes all told.

COMMISSION RECEIVED
BY JUDGE ]. TIDE BOLT

Judge J. T., Bolt is First Judge of the
Circuit Court of the First Circuit for
another four years beginning January
IA, 1907, by virtue of President Roos-
evelt's commission received by him
yesterday afternoon. AS surmised by
the Advertiser, the parchment was in
the Alameda's mail, but being regis
tered was not delivered until the time
mentioned. Judge De Bolt was then
holding court, having qualified under
cabled directions from Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte received about s a. m.
that morning. The message read: -5f

DEFENSE To Be MADE
IN THE LANAI CASE

The decision of Judge De Bolt con-
strues certain portions of the land
laws. but the proposed eXchargs of La
mai lands is planned under another part
of the laws"
This remark made by Deputy Attor-
ney General Milverton yesterday in
dicates the nature of the Land Com
missioner's fight to be made in the SUI
preme Court for obtaining a reversal
of Judge De Bolts introductory deci-
sion in which the proposed exchange
was pronounced illegal.
No grass was allowed to grow under
the respondents feet after his reverse
in the Circuit Court Early yesterday
morning Attorney General Peters pro-
cured an interlocutory decree from
Judge De Bolt, in line with the over
ruling of respondents demurrer, so
that an appeal from the findings of
law could be made directly to the SUI
preme Court. This action avoids the
delay that would accrue from the re-
spondent's filing an answer, with the
almost certainty that the decision on
the merits would follow that on the
demurrer.
Neither the petitioner for injunction,
L. L. McCandless, nor his attorney,
Geo. D. Gear, were on hand to make
any objection to railroading the ap-
peal The next move viii ha to have
the appeal entered on the Supreme
Court calendar. This rushing of the
case to the earliest possible determi-
nation was decided upon at confer
ence held by Governor Carter with At
torney General Peters, Commissioner
Pratt and Secretary Atkinson.
