Don't know, I'm still looking. Found that here:

The Wisconsin ruling that I cited is listed alongside a similar ruling from Oregon, that specifically precluded the application of recall provisions to US Senators legally, but did expressly permit a recall political election to go through. That one was peculiar. But, it could be useful, a symbolic flogging in the public square of sorts.

Biennial Report and Opinions of the Attorney General of the State of Oregon 313, (April 19, 1935): Should this [state] constitutional amendment be so construed as applying to the recall of a Representative in Congress it would to that extent be inoperative. If a recall election for a Member of Congress were actually held under a state provision, it is most likely that the ultimate effect would be advisoryonly, having perhaps significant political, but not legal, import.
