To blame for mere technically in
the law when the leaving out Of one
word deprived him of the authority
which there is no doubt the legisla

rolling or engrossing the bill This
is not the first time in the history of
this state that such an error has stay

TAYLOR it was discovered that the en-
actment known as the seventeen-year

gone free had he been tried under
that law The only thing which pre-

the druggists was that the word

where it should have occurred. The
original copy it is declared contained
the word, at least it was clearly the
intention Of the legislature to have

matter as far as he has and no blame
can rest with him because there is

unfortunate errors, the responsibility
of which no one will perhaps ever

not agree. for President Roosevelt
brought the L. S. senate, even, to a
realization that unless that body con
formed it's deliberations to the senti-

he analysed the situation there would
be trouble. A president who STANDS
close to the people can do much TO-

We agree that it would be much easier
for the common people TO get proper

were serving the people and not the
corrupt corporations, and the only way
to teach them this lesson is to relieve
them from their duties and try some

SEN. FULTON LOSES.
CAKE IS NOMINATED
RESULT OF PRIMARIES IN ORE
CON ANNOUNCED
Governor Chamberlain, a Democrat,
May Be Elected to United States
Senate by Republican
Legislature
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
PORTLAND. Ore. April 1S.-Yester-
days primaries resulted in the nominal
tion for United States senator on the
Republican ticket of Henry M. Cake
o. Portland by over 5000 majority over
Charles w. Fulton, the incumbent. and
on the Democratic ticket of Governor
George E. Chamberlin, whose nominal
tion was uncontested. Both successful
candidates favor Oregon's present law
for the nomination of senator's by direct
vote of the people.
In the First congressional district
Congressman w. G.. Hawley of Salem
became the Republican candidate with
out contest.
In the Second district Congressman
w. r. Ellis won from T. T. Geer of
Pendleton and George H. Shepard of
Portland.
The legislature to be chosen in June
will elect a senator to succeed Senator
Fulton.
Eighteen counties have so far been
heard from, and an analysis of their
vote leads to the impression that tho
whole peoples choice candidates for
the legislature otherwise known as
statement No. T. candidates, will have
more than the necessary majority of
the ninety members of the coming
legislature, and that for a second time
this state will have United States
senator chosen by what is equivalent
to a popular vote.
If Governor Chamberlin is as success
full next June in overcoming the states
large normal Republican majority as
he was when he was elected governor
two years ago the members of the next
legislature, which will be Republican
BY large majority. will find them
selves obliged to elect Democrat to

Governor Johnson was given a rous-
ing reception upon his arrival, being
met at the train by a reception COM
mittee and several hundred persons
attendant upon the festival.
Gov. Johnson's subject was "Oppor-
tunity." He said:
1.-The danger of this country is CEN
tralization of everything. 1t is true
of every line of business, and that con-
tinued Capitalization of everything de-
stroys or reduces opportunity to re-
turn to the old condition where man
could start in business with a reason
able amount of capital and have a
chance to succeed, appeals to me as one
of the things this country needs most"
In an interview Governor Johnson
said: What Mr. Bryan says or does
will make no difference and cause no
change in my plans. I am not seeking
the nomination for president and
might say do not care whether or not
l get it. AS l hav GOTTEN reiterated,
will be a candidate in case the people
decide I am the most available candi-
date and can get the most votes.
"I have been told by some of Mr..
Bryan's friends that I would be a
stronger candidate than he. l am in
clined to doubt that"
