OLYMPIA, Jan. 13.-Some OF
the moral members of the house
and not a few of the Pierce coun-
ty delegation are beginning to
have their inward doubts as to
the stand of Speaker Meigs on The
moral questions that will come up
during the session. The Slayden
supporters were positive and stiil
privately assert their conviction
that Meigs has tied up to the
liquor interests to the extent O..
giving them little better han an
even break at the best.
When the patronage committee
was made up Jeffries and Weir
were the King county members
selected. That they are any wise
representative of the delegation is
absurd. Weir Is a saloonkeeper
and Jeffries has a record that
wouldn't help him to secure Il de-
gree of doctor of divinity.
Those who have confidence In
Meigs, especially the anti-sa .Oun
league lobby, point out that the

DEEP-LAID PLOT TO
defeat CHAMBERL AIN

(Py United Press Leased Wire.)
AlEM, Ore, Jan. 13.-New
developments in the Oregon sem
atdria1 situation reveal a deep
laid plan to defeat the peoples
choice and deadlock the legisla-
ture and thus prevent the election
of a senator. throwing the matter
of choice back upon the next leg
islature. The lines are pursued
byfthose who want to defeat Gov
ernor Chamberlain, as fully re-
vealed today.
A systematic plan of induce
ments Is held out to members who
pledged themselves to vote for the
popular choice to get them to 60
back on those pledges by remain
Ing away from the joint conven-
ton pext Tuesday on account or
sickness or for other reasons.
The argument is brought 10
bear that what they reilly were
pledged to by statement No. 1 was
to support an amendment to the
constitution of the United States
and not to direct election by tine
people of the state.
The oher line of approach is to
persuade members that 1t is their
duty to not vote for Cham berla;n
unless he will agree in advance TO
appoint republican successor 70
Secretary of State Benson, who rs
reported to be in a serious condI-
ton from cancer.
