w. E, Burke Presents a Predicate IN
Support Of His Candidacy,

To the clatsop County Electors;
| respectfully submit for your con
sideration the basic principles upon
which | have offered my name in be
half OF the nomination and election
as Representative in the Oregon Leg
islature, at the forthcoming polls;
Senator Fulton's Corvallis Pledge,
st may be thought by some that
my position on this subject (the sen
atorship), is the result OF a desire or
my part to pave the way for an ap
peal to the legislature for reelection
should ! fail to secure approval OF
my candidacy by the voters. ] as
sure you that have no such thought
or purpose. II it shall happen that
some other candidate receives q
larger vote for United States senator
than I do at the election to be held
next June, | promise you now that
will retire from the field and will moi
permit my name to be presented &c
the legislature for that or any Other
Office. Prom Fulton's Speech OF An
nouncement at Corvallis, August so

"a MILESTONE IN HISTORY"

"The virtually unanimous ratihca-
ton by the Legislature of the popular
choice OF Mr.. Mulkey and Mr.. Bourne
for United States Senator's marks an
epoch in the political history Of Ore
gon. II is not likely that the prece
dent thus firmly established will be
broken hereafter. The time of the
Legislature will henceforth be devot-
ed to the business of the state; its on
ly concern with the election OF sena-
tors will be to fulfill tthe constitu'
tional form by ratification OF an an
tecedent popular choice.
Seldom has body OF public men
given a finer demonstration OF 10y
atty to American principles than the
Oregon Legislature gave in ratifying
promptly and decisively the popular
election OF Senators Mulkey and
Bourne. BY doing this they have
acknowledged the fundamental trutl
upon which our institutions rest
namely: that all power ultimately
resides in the people and that when
ever the people choose to exercise
this power directly it is their righ
to do so. Our legislators have alst
acknowledged with noble fidelity L
fact and reason, that, high as thei
duties may be, they are but the ser
wants or agents of the people, ant
that the popular mandates expressed
under the forms Of law are of bind
ing obligation upon all public officials
We may therefore say without undue
Iinsistence on its Importance, that th'
ratification by the Oregon Legisla
ture of the popular choice of Our sen
ators marks an epoch in the develop
ment Of free institutions. "-Oregor

OUR GREATER NAVY.

There is logic in the demand of the
President that Congress provide Tor
the construction of four warships a
wear until such time as this country
shall be on the footing of the best
equipped nation in the world in this
line. We are growing at tremen-
dous pace and million or so access
per annum in people, to defend, en-
hances the argument for broader sys'
TENS OF defense, not only in the
navy but the army.
This is one OF the giant nations oil
the earth and needs something be-
side toy navy or a mimic army to
bolster, defend and dignity it; this
aside from the confessed and proven
weakness of both arms of the serv-
ices today, lure for attack and nc
guaranty OF defense save in a briefly
tentative way. No man dreams for
an instant that we cannot take care
of ourselves once we are confronted
with the necessity; but to obviate
such necessities is a Washingtoniar
policy of vast merit that has been
ignored far too long.
We do not have to go far to bal
ance our offensive and defensive pow
ers with the best that exists, and we
must not halt anywhere short OF 1T,
if it takes half-score ships and a
dozen regiments a year to even up
the situation and put us where man
kind will know just who we are and
what to expect of us on the war-call

AN ASTORIA TRY-oUT.


We assert, as rational commercial
exoedient, that Astoria should be CIV
en- a try-out in the matter OF export
shipping of the grain OF the North
west. that Portland owes it to her
self and the State to inaugurate the
policy and the fact for the sake OF
lowering the tolls on foreign carriage;
that she should use this harbor as her
own and save the differentials that
prevail against her: set up prefer
entail schedule by the sheer economy
Of quick despatch and unnecessary
towape. Portland must dominate
the. business wherever it shall be done
for Oregon; and if she can overcome
the prevalent impediments by the es-
tablishment of an outer-port that can
be operated at the lowest cost on the
coast, it is her first and peculiar duty
to try it out.
A one-ship elevator and dock would
be enough to make the demonstration.
A few clearances from this harbor
under a fortnight's delay, from sea
to sea, would soon set up a condition
that would make worldwide char
terers blink with pleased wonderment
at the solution of new and valuable
advantage in this great problem
Owner, shipper, agent and master
are unit, the world over, for the
supreme benefit, and profits, Of
quick port-handling of ships and
cargoes; and this is the one magnifl;
cent assurance inherent in the "As-
toria Situation"
We do know, all else being equal
anchorage, dockage, channel-room
facilities for cargo-handling in and
out. that there is huge scope for econ
omic abatement of present charges
by obviating the 100-mile voyage in
land, no matter if the towage be alb
sorbed or not. This thing constitute:
the sole solution of Portland's pres
ent and future quandary; for the day
is at hand when, as port and harbor
she is to 60 up against her natura
limitations. Any great expansion o.
her sea-commerce will entail the use
of Astoria, as the safest, largest
next and nearest auxiliary at her com
mand. She has done marvelously wei
in handling the trade with her mar
row channel margins, but if she hopes
ever to double or quadruple hel
grain feet, she must do SO at poin
that will admit her freer capacity tol
handling and despatching the access
It is worth the try-out; to say thu
least of it!

BACK IN HOME WATERS.

Every American is glad that the
great fleet is in home waters again.
All the California ports south OF
the big objective, San Francisco, are to
enioy the unparalleled display of the
napeant, and no one begrudges them
the distinctive treat; but all the same
there are hundreds of thousands OF
loyal folk UP this way, that will be
Glad to have a chance to see the ships
and entertain the officers and men.
Their itinerary is sort Of long-drawn
holiday, anyway, for those afoat and
those ashore, and it would be moth
ing extraordinary if this upper sec
ton of the American Pacific coast
be given an equal opportunity to
ioin in the pleasures now afoat.
There is not time enough to send
the feet everywhere on the coast,
of course, but central northern
point, like Portland, might be chosen
for a flying visit, thus giving the
whole Northwest chance to take
in the glory of it by travelling bit.
Even Astoria bay would not be a
bad location for such a r1aneuvre.
We are in close and easy touch with
all the great centers up this way; and
the vessels would have. plenty OF
room between Tongue Point and
Smiths Point, to string out the en-
tire armada and make it accessible
