THIS year there Is 10 be a Unite
States Senator elected to- repve~Su
this commonwealth. In theosy sen
stors are elected by the people, bai
in reality the people have lutte to Dc
with their election. In recent wears
this fact has been made 50 obvuous
as to need no further comment. II
Is also unnecessary 10 nenLloa the
well known reason why United
States Senators should be elected by
direct vote of the people, for ai
least ninety per cent Of the voters.
irrespective OF party, are in favor of
such procedure
But why do the people u this
state allow themselves 10 be com
PEELED to elect any man in the man
ner and form to which they are
antagonistic? Is it because they
are patiently waiting for a law 20 be
enacted specifically authorizing thsm
to proceed in the manner in which
they desire? Because such . law
must pass the Senate itself, i is
folly 10 expect sach Isgislsaion
within the next Gfty yssrs. Tier
ssems TO be . plan which will
obviate this difIcuky-a plan
simple, practical and efficiest.
The state conventions Of the sew
eral political parties are hold before
those OF the counties aud senatorial
distrlcts. At the state conventions
let each party nominate n candidate
for the United States Senate and
thereafter each man who accepts .
nomination for the Office of repre-
sentative or state senator would be
bound to vote for his party nominee
in the next General Assembly, il
he were elected to sit in that body.
This wonld not be exactly an elec-
ton by a direct vote, but would
amount practically to the same
thing, and indeed it would be
slightly more direct than tie cleo
ton of the president.
This is in no sense a reflection
upon the two esteemed gentlemen
who now really represent this com
monwealti. in the highest law max
ing body in the United States. bat
hereafter we shall be more likely
to continue to have such representa-
tlves If they are elected in the man.
ner herein suggested.
Neither will this plan lessen the
chances for democratic victory in
this state this fall Four year ago
when Senator Teller was elected We
did practically this very thing And
If we had not done 40 there would
now be republican senator sitting
in his stead.
If the democrats and republicans
both make such nominations, their
chances would be about the same 40
If neither had done so. But if the
democrats adopt this plan and the
republicans do not, such a popular
chord would have been touched by
the demoTats, that the republican
chances OF carrying this state would
be less than they are now.
And if this plan be followed. aside
from questions of party politv, We
snail have taken a great step to-
wards better political conditions. II
the voters of the state can be induc-
ed to attend their primaries with
tins end in view, the election d a
sea.Aor as suggested can without
doubt be accomplished.

Larimer County Democrat. The
downfall OF the unit rule in the Dem
ocFatic conventions in this state is
near at hand. From all parts of the
state comes the news that the Dem
ocrats living outside of Denver pro-
pose to have something to say this
year when the convention meets.
The defeat Of the unit rule will end
the sway of the corporations, who
have Denver by the throat. The
anti rule is un- Democratic and Nm
fair, and the sooner it is done away
with the more honest the Democratic
party in Colorado will be.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-02-05

Seven deer have been killed in the
vicinity of Meacham and near the
head If Butcher creek, in the Blue
mountains within the past two weeks,
according to authentic report from
there.
Railroad men who have stopped at
the stations along the o. r. & y. in
the mountains have seen deer hauled
into various camps along the line and
it is evident that a regular practice is
made of killing them out of season
in that vicinity.
Owing to the deep snow in the high
mountains the deer have been driven
into the lower foothills and creeks
where the ground is bare and in these
places they become easy prey to the
Illicit hunters of the mountains and
the services of game warden are
sorely needed in the vicinity of Mea-
cham to protect the few remaining
game animals according to law.
on the head of Butcher creek, not
far from Aliens Spur on the o. R. x
& y. several herds, consisting of from
five to Is deer. have been seen re-
Gently and they are more plentiful
there than for many years before, be-
cause of the deep snow which has
covered the mountains since early in
December.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-02-05

This morning two nominating pc
titions were received at the county
clerks office, both being from resi-
dents of Milton, seeking republican
nominations.
c. w. Steen. son of William Steen.
and a well known farmer Of that sec
tion, seeks the republican nomination
for representative in the Legislature
from this county. In the petition
which he filed he announces the fol-
lowing platform:
IF | am nominated and elected |
will, during my term of office, serve
the people of my county and state to
the best of my knowledge and ability,
and shall consider the vote of the peo-
pie for United States senator in con-
gress as a recommendation which,
however, shall be at liberty to dis
regard II the reason for doing so
seems to me to be sufficient"
The other petition filed is that of
II. b. Lee for county commissioners,
to take the place to be vacated by
Commissioner Gilliland. Mr. Lee Is
also a farmer. and was an opponent
of Horace Walker for the republican
nomination for commissioner two
years ago. He does not give any
platform.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-02-05

Shall Pendleton streets be paved
with the excellent blue stone which Isl
found in enormous quantities ALI
around the city and which is used cx-
tensively in building in the city and
vicinity?
This question will be presented by
Frank Duprat the well known stone
mason, to the city council at the next
meeting.
Mr. Duprat says that for 50 per
square yard an everlasting pavement
can be laid on Pendleton streets the
construction of which would employ
altogether local labor, use home ma
tecial exclusively and keep the entire
expenditure for pavement in the city.
Quarries of this blue stone are found
on all sides of the city and force of
so men, it is said. could pave eight
blocks within three months. The stone
would lie cut and prepared at the
quarry and hauled by teams to the
streets to be laid into the pavement.
The price of 80 per square yard
would not include leveling the street
to make ready for the pavement,
which would have to be done by the
city, hut which would require but lit
tie expense. But fer SO per square
yard the stone will be laid in cement,
with a smooth surface that could be
easily swept clean. rounded according
TO the street grade and made higher
i'm the center for purpose of drainage
and prepared in a workmanlike man
ner to withstand all the traffic that
might be enjoyed by the city for all
time.
At the price mentioned the stone
would be cut from 10 to Is inches in
depth. from five to 10 inches in width,
and from six to IA inches in length.
1t would be placed in uniform layers
or rows, lengthwise with the street,
the rows being five, six, seven, eight,
nine and 20 inches in width, with
;oints broken as in regular stone work
and the rock closely fitted together
with cement and sand.
For q years Mr.. Duprat has work.
ed with the blue stone of this vicinity
and says that it is absolutely perfect
| for all purposes and a pavement con-
structed from it would be a perma-
nent and desirable investment for the
city.
Since the lowest cost yet given on
other varieties of pavement is about
s2.25 per square yard, the stone would
appeal to the taxpayers from finan-
cial standpoint, and as it is said that
smooth, even, beautiful paving can
be made from it, there are additional
advantages to be had by its use on
the streets.
The most important feature of the
