AFFIDAVIT LAW
TERMED MENACE

Salem, Or, Jan. 2S.-Lawyers in
the house and on the committee on
revisions of laws regard the bill in
troduced by Peterson of Umatilla, and
providing that any person may sttve
summons on making affidavit be-
fore a notary public as decided men
ace. 1t has been decided to present
an adverse opinion from the COM
mittee.
"An illustration of how this bill
might work out has been brought up
said a member of the committee to-
day.
Suppose a man left Portland for
two or three months and locked up
his house or other possessions. An
unscrupulous lawyer who knew of this
might get some person of doubtful
reputation to serve a summons upon
him. When the victim returned he
might find that a default had been
taken and his goods sold. He might
go to the notary and ask who the
person was who served the summons
The notary may know him only in a
casual way and then again may have
only been introduced to him, as the
supreme court of Iowa has held that
an introduction forms sufficient Gre
dentials for notary"
Peterson is the only member Of
the revision of laws committee who
favors the bill He declares that in
sparsely settled counties where dis
tances are great, the proposed system
is a lmOSt n necessity

tiative, referendum and recall were

Trenton, n. j., Jan. 24.-James E.
MARITIME, the farmer orator" of
Plainfield, will be the democratic
United States senator from New Jer-
sey to succeed Senator Jonn Kean, ac-
cording to all surface indications. The
legislature met Jointly today to decide
the next wearer of the toga, and,
while the forces of James Smith, jr.,
the democratic boss of the state, do
not yet admit defeat. II seems sertain
that the machine has been over
thrown. MARITIME received the largest
vote in the primaries, and, while the
legislators are not legally bound to
listen to the voice of the people, it
Is hardly likely that they will defy
1t. Governor Woodrow Wilson has
entered into the fight for MARITIME with
his whole heart and soul and has de-
manded, in no uncertain voice, that
the wishes of the voters be complied
with. By this action he has aroused
public sentiment in favor of MARITIME
all over the state and definitely alien
ated himself from the machine, which
he has bitterly denounced.
Although the election of Mr.. Mar
tine seems highly probable, there is
possibility Of a deadlock, and in
that case Col George Harvey, editor
OF Harper's weekly and the North
American Review, may be pushed for
ward as a dark horse in the race. Col.
Harvey it is alleged by those who op-
pose his selection, is connected with
the New Jersey traction interests and
the financial house of ]. p. Morgan
& company, and for this reason un-
desirable as a representative of the
plain people.
