TIE PEOPLE RBPUD1ArE DoLPH.

THE PEOPLE REPUDIATE DObPh.
The bosses who are trying to force
Mr.. DuIph's reelection to the United
States senate do not know what the
people are payiug and thinking Of their
candidate. The people, by which we
mean in this case all the people includ.
ing a rnsj rity Of Republicans, do not
want Mr.. DOlph continued as senator
for Oregon. If they had any way Of
expressing themselves on the matter
they would almost unanimously turn
him down. They would repudiate him
for his extremely Wall streetish finan-
cial policy. They would repudiate his
connection with corporations. They
would repudiate his public land policy
which is so extremely serviceable to
the corporations and so extremely un-
satisfactory to the settlers. They would
repudiate his connection with the old
Portland machine that WAS turned
down in the lat state convention.
But unfortunately the people have
no voice in electlng senator, except as
1t finds expression In their representa-
tives and senators. But the Dolp5
machIne in many instances selected
the men whom the people afterwards
thought their ballots were electing.
That this was done In many instances
in the last campaign no one can doubt
from the way such men are now act
ing They were branded while yet
fresh on the range and at the roundup
the men by whose votes they were
elected will find another man owns
them. Here aud there some of these
men have shown their courage and
and have stepped out boldly and Ie-
.pudlaled the brand upon them by the
Dolph bull.punchers. That more VIII
do this no one can doubt who knows
the temper Of the present legislature.
The organization of the senate ia the
Dolph Interest IL complete. No one
can doubt that President simon will
use every craftsmanship to coerce men
TO go into cOucus to save Dolph. The
people:of this state would repudiaie
Simon as quickly as they would DJlph
II they got chance at him ut the polls.
simon's only hope Of future political
existance ia through use Of his present
position TO put Mr.. Dolph under such
obligation TO him that II will really be
Simon who will be senator and not
Dolph. No man can have public or
political relations with Mr. Dolph 10.
