participation in crooked political and
business deals in Oregon, notably in
timber land frauds. had untitled him To
occupy the high Office be now holds and
announced determination to oppose to
the utmost the senator's candidacy for
recollection. Mr.. Heney further charg-
ed that Senator Fulton is the tool OF
the railroad interests ut Washington

state, but the law-defying corporations
In congress-.
The specific charges made in the
Heney speech are taken up one by one

Senator Fulton does not mince matters
In laying before the people Of his state
his defense. He strikes squarely from
