civilized world is watching Oregon"

since our national independence the
newspapers and periodicals Of the Old
World are discussing American poll

nounced that the result OF the vote in
Oregon. THE FIRST STATE TO PASS
UPON THE FOREIGN POLICY OF
THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION,
would attract attention among all the
diplomats and statesmen OF Europe,
The United States is now recognized
as world power.

the proposition that the Philippines
shah be GIVEN al, That We shah
withdraw our soldiers and warships
from the scene Of Dewey's victory,
forego the commercial advantages Of
our position in Asia. forfeit our moral
obligations to protect the peace and
property of European and other for
eign residents Of Manila, lose the SEQ
100000 paid to aid the Spanish evaeu-
alton Of Luzon and the other islands,
leave the savage forces Of Aguinaldo
to cut the throats OF other tribes on
these islands until some European ma
tiOn steps into our shoes as sole pos
SCISSOR Of the whole group by virtue
Of its might or as eo-parcener with
other nations in their mutual distri-
bution-is 1t any wonder that the eyes
of the world are upon American poll
tics? We may say among ourselves
that our vote win not be a true critic
rion of public opinion upon these i'm
portant questions-but the world looks
upon it otherwise. The statesmen Of
Europe have not progressed so far
in the study Of our politics as to weigh
local considerations as a factor in de-
termining our election results. THEY
ONLY KNOW THAT THE ADMINS
TRATIoN OF THE COUNTRY HAS
BEEN PLACED ON TRIAL AND
THAT ONE OF THE JURORS is To
VOTE FOR ITS CONDEMNATION
OR ITS VINDICATION ON JUNE 4.
That is why there must be no fiunking
at the polls in Oregon tomorrow.

TERpAYs oREGoNIAN.

The oregonian wants Oregon to send
republicans to the two houses Of con-
gress. Because that is the danger
point. All our policies are controlled
in congress. A vote for any mem
Der of the legislature who is not a re-
publican is a vote for a democratic
senator, and a vote for any member
of the legislature who is affiliated
with democrats and running on the
ticket with them is a vote for con-
fusion of principles and for loss Of
principles which the republican party
must maintain. The key of our po-
litics and policies is in congress. On
that point every republican SHOULD
see to it that his vote shall count. It
viii count on the wrong side if he
votes for mongreIs for the legisla-
ture.

Will any republican in Multnomah
county who is now supporting the in
dependent or fusion ticket in that coun-
ty. please explain why it is that every
populist crank and every free silver
democrat in this county and elsewhere
in the Willamette valley is praying for
the success of that ticket? 1t is be-
cause they think the defeat Of the
regular republican ticket will help to
perpetuate the gold standard and en-
courage the sentiment at large in favor
of expansion, or is it because they see
in the defeat of the regular republican
ticket encouragement for The enemies
Of the national administration, and
corresponding advantage to the cause
Of Bryan and Aguinaldo?
Republicans outside of Multnomah
county find it especially irritating to
hear rabid populist and democratic par
tisans gloating over the prospect that
the republican ceuse may sustain de-
feat in MUltnomah county through the
assistance of those who are professed-
ly republicans. If the outcome is one
way, they viii be depressed. If the
outcome is the other way. they viii re-
jolee. Why?

Should the so-called citizens ticket
in Multnomah county be elected, the
legislature would be democratic. There
would be no doubt about It. Prepon-
derance Of known and avowed demo-
Gratis on the ticket makes this certain.
For the same influences are at work in
every part of the state, and there
would be every reason to expect, as a
result. the election of a democratic
Legislature. the loss of a United States
senator TO the republicans now, and
loss of the other senator two years
hence. Let no one deceive himself.
Success of this so-called citizens
movement would mean a democratic
legislature.
