point, speaking in the matter of-fact
way OF a man indulging in a quiet
discussion with friend. Only at
rare intervals during his entire speech
was his voice lifted above an ordinary
conversational pitch.
Denying the oft-repeated assertion
that the party in politics is fast van
ishing and will soon become a thing
OF the past, he showed how the exist
ence OF political parties as points
around which public opinion may
crystalline is absolutely essential to
the life Of a government constituted
as is the government of the United
States. Even as parties must exist,
party loyalty upon which they are
dependent for their life must also
exist.
From this statement he led up to the
important question, "Why am a
Republican," Because, he main
tained. that since it's founding the
Republican party had proven itself to
be invariably in the right, and because
its whole past record was one justly
calculated to inspire in its adherents
the greatest pride and loyalty.
He spoke in high terms of Roose-
velt's policies as the purest examples
Of the policy Of the Republican party.
and declared that they established a
point back of which there could be no
retreat in the politics OF the future,
and that, representing as they do the
very essence Of purity and beneflcence
in Legislation, no party, neither Repub-
lican nor Democrat, would dare repud-
late them.
Passing from that point, he def
nitely declared himself to be in favor
of the Direct Primary Law and the
election of United States Senators by
direct vote Of the people. Personally,
he said, he could see no legitimate
reason for conducting the election Of
United States Senator in any different
manner from that Of Representative.
He showed that there is general
sentin eltthroughout the United States
in favor Of amending its Constitution
SO as to bring about that result. From
that fact, he infers that the people
desire it, and he believes that until
the National constitution is amended
in that way, Statement No. offers the
onlysure method Of securing the
desired result.
He spoke at length Of the disgrace-
full deadlocks that had occurred time
and again in the election Of Senators
under the old system, and touched upon
the greater amount Of political cor
ruption that could exist under those
conditions. A Senator, he maintains,
who is elected by the people is prac-
tically safe from corruption, for, rely
ing upon the firm support OF his
enormous body of constituents, he is
in a position to snap his fingers at any

ALL ASSOCIATIONS UNITE
Christian Young People of Dallas
Form Strong Organization
For Work.

A union business meeting Of all the
Christian associations of the churches
OF Dallas, was held at the Presbyterian
Church, Friday evening. The meeting
was we'll attended and every one
present took an active interest in the
business for which the session had
been called.
Alphus Boyd, OF the Christian
Endeavor of the Christian Church,
acted as chairman and Miss Vera
Cosper, OF the young peoples associ-
alton of the Presbyterian Church,
served as secretary.
The most important action of the
convention was the formation OF what
might be called Union Association,
comprising all Of the young peoples
Christian associations Of this city.
The officers for this greater league
were selected impartially from the
various associations, as follows;
F. E. Fisher, of the X. L. G. E., OF the
Evangelical church, president; Fl. c..
Seymour, of the Christian church,
vice-president; Mrs. L. A. Bollman, Of
the Epworth League Of the Methodist
Church, secretary Miss Vera Cosper,
Of the Endeavor Association OF the
Presbyterian church, treasurer.
This organization was entered into
by the young people because it is their
belief that 1t will result In far more
effective work, and even greater
harmony between the various denomi-
nations in this city than has existed
at any previous time. Union services
will be held quarterly. The first meet
ing will be held April 12.

Hon. Fl. M. Cake, Republican candi-
date for nomination for the office of
United States Senator, opened his
campaign in Polk county, Thursday
night, delivering a speech at the
Courthouse in which he set forth
clearly and definitely his platform
and stated the grounds on which he
offered himself before the voters of
Oregon as a candidate.
The large courtroom was we'll filled
with citizens of Dallas and the sur
rounding country, and the speaker
was given hearty reception when he

other power that may threaten him.
In closing, he pointed out the
absurdity of anyone fearing the elec-
tion Of a Democratic Senator In June,
In a state with a $4,000 majority of
Republican votes. The whole matter
hinged on party loyalty, he affirmed,
and If every Republican stood loyal to
his beliefs, such outcome of the elec-
tion would not be possible.

to the body Of his address. In his
entire speech there was little Of the

stoned oratory. He spoke simply and
