for you vote,
"And vet another bubble requires at
tention. In hi- opening speech the GOV.
ernor nicrs to the appropriation bill
now under the referendum by the people
and says II was clearly violation Of
the constitutional provision which pro
yidc- that laws making appropriations
ior the salaries of public officers and
other current expenses Of the state,
shall contains no provision on any other
subject, There, he would give the peo'
pie IN opportunity to call the rctcren'
dun upon It, but this would have more
weight IL il were not for the fnct that
two years before that the legislature
passed precisely such an Appropriation
and II contained the emergency clause
declaring that the safety health and
public peace demanded its immediate
passage, Where was the governors
eagle eye at that great eNigency in the
welfare of the common people in whose
interest two years later he rose up as
on man aud declared that he would die
In the last ditch before he would permit
n mcasly republican Legislature to sue
ceSsfully engineer conspiracy against
the rights Of the down-irodden tax

Indeed the appropriation bill Of 1909
was much more Objectionable in this re.
spcrt than the one two year. later and
the unconstitutional provision that
staggered the governor In 1905 was there
In all its hideousncss in 1909 yet he
permitted II to become law without
the slightest outcry. Why. do you sup
po-c' The referendum was then at
hand and the bill contained the hated
and loaded emergency clause that two
years later caused a yeritablc panic in
the executive office Can il b. that the
approaching campaign, as he looked at
that last Of two CLEARLY unconstitution,
al bills, had anything to do with ~
Certainly not Who would be 30 base
as to say So Not !.
But they cannot all be noticed Some
good work has been done along land
matters, but such "a would naturally be
accomplished by any administration
under like circumstances. The state
land board consists OF three members
and each OF the other two has done "a
much and in many instances more. than
Governor Chamberlain In managing the
vast landed interests Of the state but
they being modest men do not cry out
as to their very great accomplishments
In the matter Of performing their du,
ties. At no time has the state been in |
the slightest danger Of losing one acre
OF land or one dollar In money in any Of
its land transactions, notwithstanding
all the outcry on the question.
"The Republicans should not be cajol
ell or deceived by these frantic effort. |
to get their votes in June. We have u |
good ticket from the candidate for |
United States senator down and IL
should receive the cheerful support Of
every member Of the party. The special
and -pecious effort to create a sentiment |
in favor Of Chamberlain j. being made |
to support the claim that Mr.. Gcnrin
il a Roosevelt democrat but everybody |
knows that during the next presidential
Mr. Gearin will be found sup
porting the democratic candidate Mr..
Bourne was nominated as lnirly ~ any
man on the ticket and his prodigious
efforts during the primary campaign
were along educational lines and in sup.
port OF principle that we have all been
for during the past twenty
years. We want the direct election of
United States senators and We can get
that principle permanently established
in the public affairs of Oregon If every
republican voter will remember his op.
and avail himself of it when
he enters his voting booth on the 4th
Of June.
1T is time when the republican
voters should cheerfully support the re.
publican nominees, and while recogniz.
ing the many good qualities of our
democratic fellow-citizens, to bear in
mind that we registered as republicans
because we believe in the principles of
,he republican party and that the arti-
fetal cry of mo politics and party lines
should be eliminated is manufactured
'or republican consumption only, and
hat the doctors who promulgate the
diagnosis themselves utterly decline to
AXE the prescribed remedy"
