availability of Mr.. Bourne. the Salem
journal has the following to say rega, d.
ing him:
1t is up to the Republicans of Oregon
TO seriously consider what kind of sen.
ator Jonathan Bourne of Portland
would make.
HIS loyalty to the state of his adop-
ton, to its business interests and ma,
terial interests is established.
His devotion to principle and, un.
sweving advocacy of what he believes
Is right has been demonstrated many
times.
What other man in Oregon would
have taken up the cause of the direct
primary law and stalSed his political
future on that enactment of the people 2
MIR. Bourne did it, and the people, re-
gardless of party, owe it to him that
the law was not set aside, nullifed and
tramped under foot in its first trial.
For be it remembered that the ma.
chine politicians of both parties curse
the direct primary law, and are pray.
ing to be delivered therefrom.
With herculean vigor, with a vale.
born of intense loyalty to principles
that underlie popular government. and
adamantine firmness, Bourne has bat.
tied for the letter and spirit of the law
Casting aside personality, if the first
man goes to the United States senate
from Oregon by the direct voice and
delibe ate vote of the people, it will be
due to the heroic fight for principles
made by Mr.. Bourne in this campaign.
If the people of Oregon are able to
strike the first blow at the trust-ridden
American house of lords, it will be be.
cause Jonathan Bourne has enabled
them to do so by meeting the issue un-
equivocally.
Does any one doubt that Mr.. Bourne
would not be as aggressive for the
night, as loyal to the fundamental re-
forms, as devoted to President Roose
welt in the U. s. senate as he has been
as private citizeni
If Oregon hopes to hold her own in
the development of western common
wealths, it is high time the people were
in Washington by a man
of such peerless dynamic forces and
keen mentality and ability to do things
rs Jonathan Bourne.
The Journal believes in standing by
The law. If any of the other aspirants
had received the direct nomination for
the U. S. senate, it would make the
same demand that he receive the sup
port of all Republicans.
If there be any Republicans who
imagine they are helping their party
in the future by defeating Mr.. Bourne,
let them consider that it will not be
the candidate who will suffer. Princi-
pies, dear to the hearts of the masses,
will be trampled under foot. and the
foundations laid for the defeat Of the
marty in the future
