SALEM, Ore, January 19-GoV. George
| T.. Chamberlain, democrat probably Will
| be elected United States senator this
afternoon by republican legislature. Al
though Chamberlain is the peoples choice
for United States senator. and there are
enough members of the legislature pledged
to elect him. a determined effort has been
made for months past to defeat him
Eastern political influences are alleged to
have interfered in the Oregon senatorial
situation, and even the assistance of Mr..
Taft and Frank Fl. Hitchcock. chairman
of the republican national committee, has,
ii is said. been solicited. Various mem
bers OF the United States Senate have
| been called on. but have declined to ask
Oregon legislators to violate the pledge.
Failure to elect Mr.. Chamberlain proba-
bly, will result in the recall of those men,
bers who violate their pledge to the peo-
pie.
May Solve Problem.
The election of Chamberlain may solve
the problem of electing senator by popu-
lar vote without infringing upon the con-
stitutional provisions fer such elections.
Senator Jonathan r. Bourne and former
Senator Frederick Mulkey, both republic
q
lature under the same system which is
being used in Chamberiain'S case, name
ly. the direct primary law. under which
political parties nominate their senatorial
candidates. If the republicans now keep
their pledge and elect democrat the
system will have been tested and estab-
lished.
The nominee of the republicans in the
last election, Senator Fulton. was de-
fea ted by Henry NJ. Cake. The democrats
had but one aSpirant. Gov. Chamberlain
Prior to the june election Cake and
Chamberlain campaigned for the popular
vote. Chamberlain. democrat, defeating
Cake, republican, by overwhelming ma
jority, although Oregon is a republican
state.
Pledges Taken by Candidates.
Candidates for the legislature had the
choice of three political platforms They
could subscribe TO statement No. /, state
ment No. >, run unpledged. State
ment No. l was a pledge to vote for the
candidate for senator receiving the
highest number of votes. irrespective of
his political utilization. Statement No >
was a promise 10 vote only for the candi-
date of the party, and not the peoples
choice.
The popularity of statement No. / is
apparent from the complexion of the leg
islature, for of its ninety members fifty
two mostly republicans, subscribed to
statement No. |, thus binding themselves
to vote for the popular choice. This gives
Chamberlain on joint ballot six more
| votes than is needed to elect him.
On the result of the Oregon experiment
In selecting a United States senator by
popular vote. expressed by the people and
executed by the legislature. may depend
the attitude Of several other states now
contemplating the adoption of Oregon 5
primary laws.

Rebuts the Theory.

The government rebuts the theory that
the favorable aid of state legislation gave
these vested rights immunity from federal
supervision of interstate commerce. and
insists that il there is a conflict of au-
thorlty- the state must yield 10 the gov
eminent.
The financial world is deeply concern
ell IN the outcome before the Supreme
Court, and the anxiety is even deeper
than that in the famous Northern Sc
eurities case, as more diverse and great
er property interests are involved
Nothing short of divine prescience
could forecast the probable decision of
the court in this case. since the issue
must he decided upon individual opinion

COAL ROADS ARE INTERESTED
PHASE OF RATE LAW BEFORE
THE SUPREME COURT.
Success of Governments Contention
Would Revolutionize Finances.
and Control of These Carriers.

Profound interest attaches to the argu-
ment in the United States Supreme Court
in the commodities clause case which
came on today. This is a suit to deter
mine the constitutionality of that section
OF the railroad rate bill which prohibits
railroads from transporting coal mined
from properties in which they have any
interest.
II vitality concerns all of the group of
anthracite cQal-caTying railroads, and if
the contention of the government is sus-
tanned will revolutionize the finances and
control of those roads
The court below in a decision handed
down by Judge George Gray of Delaware
held the clause to be unconstitutional on
several grounds. The government con-
tends that the law is constitutional and
enacted under the authority of Congress
TO control interstate commerce
Lower Courts Point.
The lower court laid great stress upon
the unreasonableness' of the clause. 1t
pointed out that these immense properties
OF railroads and coal mines had been
built up during long period of years
under stimulation OF favorable state
laws. until vested rights in fabulous
sums had been established which could
not be disturbed now without inflicting
great losses upon people who believed
they were doing lawful business, and,
in fact. encouraged TIA do it by the state,
in which they operated.
The government comes back at this ar
Gument with a cold and pitiicss demand
for the enforcement of the letter of the
law of Congress, regardless of what dam
age will he inflicted. The government
contends that Congress alone is the Judge
of the policy of legislation, and that the
court only judge of the power of Con-
Sress To legislate.
The government then proceeds to cite
great many former decisions of the court
which II claims upholds this intention
among them the Northern Securities the
New York, New Haven and Hartford and
chesapeake and Ohio and the Union
Bridge cases.
