that means something-something
vastly more than the mere fact that
a United States senator Is to be
elected.
These are the conditions that eX-
list in Oregon today.
The Mississippi democrat is Gov.
George Earle Chamberlain. n
The United States senator sweat
ing over the dirty, broken down
machine is Charles w. Fulton.
The interests are the same as
they are everywhere else. Not the
least important among them is the
Portland Flourinf Mills, whose
president, T. B. Wilcox, has an idea
that he would look we'll in a toga.
1t doesn't make so very much
difference who Chamberlain Is. He
drifted into Oregon from Missis-
sippi back In 1876, announced him
self democrat all the way, went
into politics and made good. Per-
sonally Chamberlain Is a good citi-
zen, a good lawyer, good politi-
clan and champion of good gov
eminent.
1t does make a difference who
Fulton, as Fulton, Is. He Is the
last active exponent fthat old
machine through which the chosen
few of the Oregon land fraud ring,
Including such men as Hermann
and Mitchell, carved out their polit-
ical destinies. Fulton is known best

THEIR NEW FOUND POWER.
Special Correspondence to The Press
SALEM, Ore, Oct. lathe
United States is going to hold its
breath when the legislature of the
state of Oregon meets this winter.
Why? Indirectly, because that
legislature is going to elect
United States senator.
Directly, because the nation is
going to see, through that election,
whether, under ideal conditions for
a test, legislators can be whipped
into obedience to the will of the
people.
The people.
That's the point. They have a
direct primary law in Oregon. You
knew that. This law provides,
among other things, that candi-
dates for the legislature have the
option, in making their campaign
for election, of subscribing or not
to what is known as statement No.
l." This Is nothing more nor less
than pledge-a simple, clear cut,
moral promise to vote, II elected,
for the peoples choice for United
States senator. The object of this
law is to transfer to the people the
power to elect senators given to
the legislature by the national con.
stitution.
Now, when, having secured this
transfer OF power, the people OF
a strong republican state, state
carried by Roosevelt in 1904 by
$4,000 votes, choose for United
States senator Mississippi demo-
crat and have put it up to a repub-
hcan legislature to elect that demo-
crat.
When a republican United States
senator is frantically endeavoring
to hold together the wreck Of a
once powerful and dirty--and still
dirty-machine in a desperate eff
fort to steer that legislature into
disobedience.
When big, moneyed interests are
openly pulling all the wires at their
command to accomplish the same
end.
Then you have a set of conditions

Masonic temple could not con-
tain the crowd that assembled last
night to hear George Fred Will
liams, the noted democrat from
Massachusetts. Fully 800 people
were crowded into the hall. Mr.
Williams speech was accepted as
the strongest effort in the way of
logic and heavy argument present
ed here in behalf of the democracy
during the campaign.
e. o. Conner presided over the
meeting and introduced the speak
er. Preceding the opening the Bry
an volunteers, in their white uni
forms, aroused enthusiasm by
marching to a forward position in
the hall. In the Introductory part
of his speech Mr. Williams present
ed President Roosevelt's name in a
manner calculated to arouse ap-
plause from the audience if they
were so disposed, but no handicap

presidents name. Mr.. Williams,
after the meeting, stated that he
introduces Roosevelt's name in
this way in all of his meetings and
has been surprised at the cool
manner in which the people re-
ceive it.
Later in his remarks the speak
er raped President Roosevelt for
his failure to enforce the criminal
statutes against the trusts, notably
the Morgan interests, for his ac-
ceptance of the Hartman cam
paign donation. his attitude in the
Japanese controversy in San Fran
cisco, the wholesale dismissal of
troops without hearing, his con-
signment of private citizens to the
"undesirables, and finally for
forcing by the aid of public patron
age of candidate for his success
or onto the people.
Mr.. Williams presented a very
lucid argument for the guarantee
of bank deposits, which he con-
siders one Of the strongest planks
of the democratic platform. He
lauded the democratic position on
the publicity of campaign contri-
buttons, which the republicans de-
feated in their national convention
by a vote of $50 to 81.
The speaker dwelt at some
length on Taft's achievements"
He said Taft has made a very good
errand boy but that this was no
assurance that he would make a
good president. Taft had been on
the government pay roll for 25
years and had many fine picnic
jaunts at the expense of the gov
eminent He had lived fat and
Toasted high at the peoples ex-
pense and as junketer had but
few equals.
In his closing remarks Mr.. Will
liams likened the administration
of Bryan in the presidential chair
to that of Thomas Jefferson. After
jefferson was inaugurated a great
era of peace settled over the coun-
try which continued for % years.
The election of Bryan would mean
the return of similar conditions at
the present time. He pronounced
Bryan the greatest living Ameri-
can and showed how after two de-
and more nearly held the universal
esteem of the people than he did
in his first two campaigns.
After the meeting Mr.. Williams
was told that three republicans had

Including followers, there are 81
of the 80 men in the Oregon legis-

Yet Chamberlain is not certain
of his election and Fulton still
hopes to go to the senate.
The proof of this is what Cham
berlain says and what Fulton does.
With 81 of 80 Legislators pledged
for Chamberlain, seven broken
promises will defeat him.

1t has been said and printed, re-
peatedly, that there are just seven
men--all Multnomah county repub-
licans--who are doubtful; that
all the pressure of Fulton and his
machine, backed by the financial
interests, is being centered on
these men.
All this Is common talk in Port

NEW YORK, December 19.-Although
signs Of impending trouble are not want

actual effects Of the mems action were
I'D to tonight not such as to cause ap-
probable annoyance to the usual patrons
Of either the automobile or horse-drawn
divisions Of the city's cab service. Sat-
urday night is the busiest of the week in
the uptown theatrical district, and no
diminution in the usual number Of hired
vehicles could be noted In the thronged
thoroughfares. In fact, while the strike
resolution adopted by the Liberty Dawn
Coach Drivers Association and the
United Transfers Of America nominally
affected 5000 drivers and chaufeurs, not
more than 100 men in all have SO far left
their employment, only two stables be-
ing affected.
tonight, however, is believed in many
quarters to be but the prelude to turbu-
lent times to come, the public's recollec-
ton Of the disorders, some OF them with
fatal results, which attended the recent
taxicab strike, being still keen, and the
men in this movement. according to their
leaders, being grimly determined to force
the proprietors to come to their terms
Some of the concerns, in fact, have al
ready done so, the ultimatum which the
men sent to forty-six employing COM
panies early today having already, the
union officials claim, been complied with
by twenty-five.
That all are not SO peacefully inclined.
however, was made evident late today
when, at a meeting of the executive
commi. tee of the Livery Stable Owners
Association, it was decided to resist the

the close OF the first day of the strike of
the National Window Glass Workers, in
augurated to enforce the adoption Of the
new wage scale with % per cent in

that six plants had signed. These fac
tories include the American Window Glass
Company of Pittsburg. the Patterson
Window Glass Company of Cameron, w.
Va, and plants at Fredon!a, Kan; Kane.

According to President Faulkner. the
most important development of the day
was an announcement which he said had
been sent out by the American Window
Glass Company withdrawing al quota
tions. This action was considered favor
able to the glass workers being inter-
preted to mean that the price of window
glass would be rapidly advanced. thus al

that the meeting Of manufacturers to be
held at Columbus. Ohio, next Tuesday will
result favorably to the unions new scale
