BOURNE FOR SENATOR.

So, according to the returns at this
writing, Mr. Jonathan Bourne has
won the primary nomination for
United States senator and will expect
the legislature, if Republican, as it
surely will be, to elect him. Mr..
Bourne has made a strong, hard, and
it appears successful, fight for the Of
fee he has so long coveted He is
a man of much ability, "stayer" in
a fight, and with practically unlimited
financial resources, which he is never
afraid to use when he takes notion
to do so. The wind-up of the contest,
with regard to the returns, was very
interesting. Up till Tuesday it ap-
peared that Cakes nomination was
assured and that Bourne had no
chance at all, but the away-back coun-
lleS dll WeuI H6dflIy IOF bOuTHe, DIS
against Cake, and wiped out the lat
ter's plurality and gave about an
equal amount to Bourne, so he will
be the regular Republican nominee
in June Then the next interesting
question will be: What will the leg
islature do? 1t will probably elect
Bourne, as under the law he will be-
entitled to the office, and he is quite
capable of making a very useful SEN
ator.
The new age., 1906-04-28

Office of supreme judge, though it is
expected that Judge HALEY may also
run ahead considerably. AS to the
other Offices the Republican candi-
dates have a walkover, and those for
representatives in congress as well.
1t is known and conceded that Gov
ernor Chamberlain is strong candi-
date. He demonstrated this four
years ago, as he had before. He pos
sesses various elements of strength
that are not to be ignored or despised'
But since the Republicans have an
excellent candidate and this is an
overwhelmingly Republican state, it
is unlikely that the governor can pull
through again. If party amounts to
anything voters ought to stick to their
party with reference to such an i'm
portant Office as that of governor. In
consequence of the election of Dem
ocrat the state now has a Democrat
for United States senator, for super
intendent of the penitentiary, for
game warden, and in other positions.
This might we'll be endured if the Re-
publican candidate were in any re-
spect unworthy, but nobody can say
this in this case. DR.. Withycombe is
an educated man, a farmer, a good
business man, identified with all the
states interests, and moreover has
always been a loyal Republican. He
should be elected and we think will
be, and that Oregon will then again
show up as a solidly Republican state.
But he may have to hustle some.
The governor is good campaigner;
he now has a very wide acquaintance
in all parts of the state; he has a
genial personality, and aside from
too much travelling and political work,
his record as governor is unassail-
able. So interest will center in the
race for this office

RACE FOR GOVERNOR.

The most interesting contest-in
fact the only real one-on the state
ticket in June will be that between
Professor Withycombe and Governor
Chamberlain. There may be some
thing interesting as to the election

Gearin, whoever the Republican nomi-
nee may be, will get a good many
more votes in June than the normal
vote of his party. He is an able man
and would make good senator, but
Oregon is a heavily Republican state
and the Republican candidate will
carry the state in June. This will
doubtless be the case also with the

RESULTS OF PRIMARIES.

The New Age is pleased with the
result of the primaries, in large part
1t is especially gratified at the nomi
nation of DR.. Withycombe for govern
or. Mr.. G. A. Steel for state treas
urer, Mr.. Crawford for attorney-gen-
eral, and Col. Gantenbein for circuit
court judge. 1t supported these and
some other successful, and some un-
successful, candidates, but cannot
complain, as it would have no right
to do, anyway, at the general result.
Most, if not all, of the Republicans
selected by pluralities at the prima-
ries will be elected as a matter of
course, the principal exceptions to
this statement being those for gov
ernor and for United States senator
We think DR.. Withycombe is the
strongest man that could be put up
against Governor Chamberlain, and
should be Loyalty supported by all

TROUBLE IN THE SPRINGFIELDS

The Springfields seem to be getting
about as unenviable a notoriety as
Paterson, N. j. 1t was at Springfield
Ohio, where a mob recently attacked
the colored people of the town without
any reasonable cause whatever, and it
was from Springfield, Mo-, that the
following dispatch, printed this week,
came:
"Springfield this morning is a slum-
bering volcano. All is quiet on the
surface, but there are 5000 Negroes
residing here in five settlements, and
the officials expect rioting to break
out. The officers are out with 80
bench warrants, charging first-degree
murder against alleged leaders of the
mob that lynched the Negro boys"
Notice, some Negro boys, perhaps
for only some trivial offense, had been
lynched, and because the colored peo-
pie of the town felt incensed at this,
trouble was immintnt. If colored peo-
pie had lynched a few white boys,
there would also have been trouble.
no doubt. We expect to hear from
Springfield, ILL.,, and possibly Spring
field, Mass, hereafter.

consequence of an earthquake, for
while fire caused the greater part OF
the loss, it occurred as a direct con-
sequence of the earthquake shock. 1t
is catastrophe that staggers the i'm
agination and calls not only for the
sympathy, but the liberal aid in all
possible ways, which is being afford
ed by the people of the whole coun-
try, and none have acted more
promptly and and generously than
those of Oregon.
San Francisco was a unique and
particularly interesting city, and of
vast wealth, commerce and business
of all kinds, and it was in great part
wiped out of existence But it will
no doubt be rebuilt, and before the
lapse of very many years will rise
greater than ever. An earthquake
may occur there again at any time,
but the chances are that the like will
not happen again for a long time, and
people will take the risk and the new
city will be more solidly and scien-
tifcally constructed than the old, and
will be better able to withstand such
seismic disturbances.

To be sure one is elected or nomi-
mated and then find one is beaten is
a great disappointment.

POLITICAL PARTIES AND
CHANGES.

Those who undertake to make par
ty operations a mere clash of persona
likes and dislikes, ambitions and jeal
ousies, lose sight entirely of the larger
facts in the domain of politics, says
the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. Natur
al leaders arise whose exceptional
usefulness to the principles of par
ty give them, as long as they are true
to the right standard, an extensive
following and influence, but the notion
that any great party is to be swayed
by personal squabbling is ridiculous
A party may be injured by an indul-
gence of such foolishness, but there
by loses sight of it's mission and op-
portunities. The number of voters in
this country is becoming so vast that
their judgment must be reached by
clearly defined aims in public policies,
and the feudal political chieftain and
his clan have ceased to be of import
ance in his favorite role of disturber
Some of the states have more than a
million voters, and it is vain to at
tempt to lead them here and there by
small, egotistical quarrels they have
no desire nor time to think about. It
is only by machine politics, the game
of getting nominations far removed
from the people, that the squabblers
finds it worth while to pursue their
spitework.
An electorate of 100000 in the
country, with a CORRESPONDENCE large
distribution of voters in the states,
must be appealed to by responsible
parties on issues that deserve, and
often compel, general consideration.
Such questions may arise quickly and
under unexpected circumstances. 1t
was so in the summer of 1895. The
Democratic party had been over
whelmed by defeat in the preceding
two years, and its prospects were at
the lowest ebb. But by adopting a
new issue and choosing as a leader
a man, who, nationally speaking, had
been unknown, and who even gained
entrance to the convention in a con-
tested delegation, the party made one
of the greatest fights in it's history,
polling immensely its largest vote.
short of a phenomenally big
vote on the other side averted the
success of that surprisingly sudden
change of front in the situation. AS
the country grows, such developments
in politics must occur frequently.

EDITORIAL
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
THE PRIMARY LAW.

1t is yet problematical whether the
primary nomination law will stand
the test of public approval. Judging
by the light vote cast, as compared
with the actual number of voters in
the state, it would seem that the peo-
pie as whole do not care as much
about it as some Of it's advocates
have represented they did. 1t has
undoubtedly eliminated some of the
methods in vogue heretofore in the
nomination system, and has put
bosses out of business or rendered
it difficult for them, but there are
serious objections to the new law
nevertheless. One is that it makes
it very expensive for men to obtain
a nomination, and poor man ought
to have as good a chance to obtain
an office as rich man. 1t is also
expensive to the taxpayers.
AS to the popular nomination of
United States senator, whose selec-
ton the legislature is supposed mere
ly to ratify, the result is what The
New Age predicted, choice by a
small plurality and small fraction
of the Republican vote of the state,
which cannot be properly termed
really a peoples choice, at least not
in a very large and impressive sense.
While Mr. Cake has apparently re-
ceived small plurality and the nom
ination, Mr.. Bourne in fact carried
far larger area and diversity of in
terests of the state as a whole than
Mr.. Cake. The latter carried this
large city, and therefore may have
won the nomination, but Mr.. Bourne
carried most of the other counties of
the state, and about half the delega-
tion from even this county are said
to be favorable to him. Should not
the representatives from those other
counties vote for the choice of their
local constituents rather than for a
man whom they rejected at the polls?
We are not making any specific ar
gument, nor meaning to say that un-
der the law this should be done, still |
less intimating that we prefer Mr.. |
Bourne to Mr.. Cake, only putting the
case abstractly and using the result |
as to these two men as an illustra- !
ton. Of course, if the law is carried
out and Mr.. Cake beats Mr.. Gearin
in June, it will be the duty of mem
bers Of the legislature who signed |
Statement No. 1" to elect Mr.. Cake |
senator, but is the law in such a case
working satisfactorily, and should
candidates for the legislature so |
pledge themselves? Except legally |
and technically, did "the people"
really instruct them or make a
choice? If a candidate for United |
States senator receives say $4,000 out
of $4,000 Republican votes in the
state, a plurality of say 100 votes
over his nearest competitor is this
as matter of fact such a popular
choice by the people as should bind
the legislature? We think not, and
yet there are good features about
the law which may more than Offset
these grounds Of criticism.
