Bailey Declares Object is to Aid
in Strengthening Party
Lines.
PRESENT LAWDESTROYS THEM
Denies Charge Which 10 Made Ths.
Proposed Legislation Would Cause
Return OF Old Time Political
Machines and Bosses.

SALEM. Ore, Jan. 2i.--That Gov
ernor George T.. Chamberlain Is sem
atorial possibility is recognized among
politicians. but II The proposed amend
ment to statement No. l. as introduced
by Senator Bailey Is adopted. It will
practically nullify his chances. Fur
thermore, It will not be necessary for
senatorial candidate TO win a pop
ular majority II his party elects SUN
client members of the Legislature -
control that body.
This Is one of two political meas
ures with which Senator Bailey will
cause n stir. The other Is his pro-
posal TO provide for state conventions
TO nominate state officers This lat
ter II has been contenied. will weak
en- the direct primary law, but Bailey
asserts that 1t will strengthen It.
AS for the proposed bin for state
conventions. the charge Is made that
II will be the means Of restoring po-
lItical bossism. which has only recent
ly been crushed out in Oregon.
Through the state nominating conven-
tlons, political machine with its in
evitable boss, will come into existence,
although this Is denied by Senator Bal
ley.
THE object of Senate Bill No. ll2,
says Bailey. is to maintain party in
tegrity which Statement No. H.
stroys. In the Senate Democrats are
voting for a Republican president and
Democratic governor Is making
deals with Republican legislatures,
with the ultimate object Of his election
to the United States Senate, Demo-
Gratis are voting for a Republican cam
didate for United States senator, who
does not represent their views but is
diametrically opposed to their beliefs.
All this shows that the present law
does not maintain party integrity.
IN other words my amendment has
a nominee promise to support the can
dldate Of his party. For example, II
Governor Chamberlain is a Democratic
candidate for United States senator
and receives the majority of votes cast
he would not be elected United States
senator by the legislature unless the
people elected a Democratic legisla-
ture. Governor Chamberlain, by this
method, would be defeated by the Pc
publican candidate, who might not re-
ceive half so many popular votes as
the Democratic choice. But, Governor
Chamberlain could be elected senator
II the legislature was Democratic,
which Is not likely In this state. The
proposed amendment will confine the
contests on senator to strictly party
lines In the legislature.
'As for the measure to provide for
a state convention to nominate state
officers and probably pass on United
States senator's, have not completed
1t. I may not even introduce 1t, but
probably will. 1t will help the direct
primary law, for II person feels
agrieved over the action of the con-
vention, he can go before the people
at the primaries.
Such convention will provide q

ahead of his enemies To his joy he found that his
strength was in nowise impaired by the knife
thrust As he neared the bank he looked to see if
there was anything that would answer as a weapon
But nothing greeted his eyes that could be used as
means of defense, and he knew that fists are a
poor weapon against knives. Therefore, as soon as
he reached the shore, be ran up the street. hoping
to meet some of the decidedly irregular police that
guard Galata.
The Turks took up the chase, but were no match
for the American. His lead increased rapidly, and
he would soon be lost in the darkness. At length he
sped several policemen at the end of the street. and
this sight put strength into his legs. The pur-
suers, the other hand, were struck with con-
sternaton. After all their trouble, it seemed that
they must not only lose their intended VICTIM but
that they might even be handed over to the repre-
sentatives of the law.
Run into the side street," Chel-eb shouted to
his friend. Save YOURSELF"
But the other was tired of running, and realized
that If once alarm given the police would easily
overtake them. They were to be captured, he
reasoned, and to take to his heels was but waste
of effort.
Just as Weir had almost reached the policemen,
brilliant thought came to Mustapha and he
shouted Stop, thief! Stop, thief" at the top of
his lungs.
The plan a good one. The Turks only
waited to see the officers spring at Weir; but
as they turned into the side street they could
hear the sound of blows being rained on the Ameri-
cans head.
few minutes later the two stood painting on
the river bank. Far up the street they could see

clothing, that we may be more comfortable. Then,
when we have eaten-for it would be sin to eat
after sunrise during Ramazan-t will be time to
go and rejoice Haleb Bey with our tdings"
Not till they followed the excellent advice to put
dry clothing did Chel-eb begin his doubling again.
What have we to prove to your master that we
have actually killed the indel?' he asked as they
were eating with the appetite that attempted murder
inspires Of naturally suspicious nature was
Chel-eb, and he credited others with being equally
suspicious.
Here is the knife that stabbed him!'' Mustapha
cried and thrust it close under Chel-ebs
The latter senced, till his active mind thought
of another neglected point. 1t would have been
better had not taken off our wet clothes"
he said lugubriously. Then would Ha1eb Bey have
seen himself that we had been in the Bosporus"
But Mustapha showed himself more acute than
his companion mo, anyone could throw water
himself and say he had been in the Bosporus -
Chel-eb looked at Mustapha still doubling
Leave it to me- will do the talking" Mustapha
continued. Only listen attentively, and say the
things that do
Haleb Bey received the two-visbly bearers of
important tdings-with eagerness that had been
intensified by the sight of Rhasneh the afternoon
before. The more he desired her, the more did he
hunger for the life of this American who had dared
dispute the possession of her with him. And since
the incident at Prinkipo the fires of his hate had
been under forced draft
Speak, he commanded of the humbly saluting
pair, with such tremble of passion in his voice
that their hearts rejoced
I'VE have followed him for days." Mustapha

foot it up the street till 1 can meet policeman
Desperately the Turks were striving to overtake
Weir before he could reach the bank The one with
the knife succeeding better than the other.
There seemed to be willingness the part of one
of them to play second fiddle.
Weir, however, had trouble in keeping we'll

the policemen carrying heavy object, like the body
of man. Except for the ever present dogs there
were no other spectators. Whatever excitement
had been at an end.
Chel-eb's painting grew less and less labored till
with long breath he returned to his normal manner
OF respiration. He pulled his clingng, wet clothes

and lost himself in the remembrance
of the interview just ended. The air
was soft and caressing about him;
the sky velvety black, picked out
with stars, above him; and the
rhythmic clank of the oars in the
oarlocks soothed him like music.
The banks of Europe and Asia,
only little darker than the atnos-
phere, slipped past him to right
and to left, with the regular swing
of his boatmen. Powerful fellows
they were, he noticed 1t seemed
to him they were making the return
journey in shorter time than it had
taken them to come. He laughed
to himself at the thought that his
interview with Rhasneh should have
made even his boatmen seem differ
ent to him.
The lights of the Bridge of Ga1ata
came into view almost before Weir
knew it, and he leaned forward to
look at them. Here it was that he
should meet his bride tomorrow.
Here would end all the anxiety that
had been his since first he had seen
Rhasneh in the carriage of the Sui
tan.
The two boatmen had made the
long row from Yeni-keui in almost
absolute silence AS they neared
the bridge, one of them spoke to
the other in an undertone His COM
panion replied, and without further
warning the one nearest Weir drop
ped his oars and sprang at the Amer
lean, long knife in his hand.
1t was lucky for Weir that he
happened to be leaning forward.
Had he been lounging back in his
seat, he could not have swerved
from the knife cleaning in the star
light. AS it was the blow was a
glancing one and barely cut through
the skin. Before the fellow could
make another 1unge, Weir struck
him in the jaw with his fist. From
his cramped position he could not
put much steam into the blow, and
it only pushed the Turk off little.
The affray thus far had occupied
but second. The other boatman
now took part in it, a part that re-

He pulled his clinging, wet clothes
from his limbs that they might not
feel so cold He noticed that Mus
tapha had lost his fez, and put his
hand to his own head. His fez was
gone too.
1t was fortunate we raised the
cry of Stop, thief!' or the infidel
would have escaped US after all, he
said.
He was a marvel of strength
and agility, to swim as he did, and
then to run, after / had stuck nv

Both spoke in dubious tones, like
men who, after failure, were casting
about for explanations.
There was not much strength
or agility left in him after that
policeman brought the butt of his
gun down on his head" Chel-eb
continued. Il wish they had gone
away then and let us finish him."
He is finished" Mustapha re-
sponded laconically.
How do you meant" Che1-eb
asked.
He will be thrown into prison
without money-you saw yourself
that the officers took all in his pock-
cts; he cannot speak Turkish--you
heard that in the boat | stabbed
him; the policeman beat him on
the head. He will die of his wound,
or of fever; or at best he will be
forgotten-he will never come out
alive" Mustapha prophesied con-
fdently.
Chel-eb nodded. Mustapha had
not overdrawn the condition of af-
fairs. But what can we say to
Haleb Bey?" he inquired, relying
on the stronger character of Musta-
pha.
Say we want the reward he
promised u.s." Mustapha answered
in matter of fact way.
But he is not dead yet, that
strong Englishman," Chel-eb OBJ
jected irresolutely.
Listen!" Mustapha replied stern
ly. We killed the dog of an infide1.
He is dead both by stabbing and
drowning But in the darkness his
body fioated away from us If he
reappears we shall be very much
astonished; but that is no reason
for not receiving the reward from
Haleb Bey and having our pleasure
with it. And now let us put on dry
