Election Frauds condcmned-w

demand an awakening OF the public
conscience In the matter OF the reg
istration OF voters. Gigantic frauds
are perpetrated In every campaign
.on the majority party by the regis
tration as Republicans OF voters who
are not and never have beenfin SYM
pathy with the Republican party and
who continually labor for the de-
feat OF It's policies and candidates.
No man should swear that he Is In
good faith a member OF political
party unless he Is prepared TO advo-
cate It's principles and vote for his
candidates. We demand further leg
islation to protest the majority party
from these frauds and we invite the
attention of the prosecution attor-
neys of the state to the perjury stat
ute 10 the end that as far as possible
these offanses may be prosecuted
crlmlnally.
Opposed to Abuse of Initiative AMI
Referendum--We are opposed 20 the
abuse OF the initiatives and referen-
dun by the submission to the people
of large numbers OF measures on the
same ballot. The people are too busy
to give these measures the attention
necessary to insure wise action. The
number of measures TO be submitted
at any one election should be limit
ed and It should be further provided
that a measure once voted down by
the people should be Ineligible to-
place on the ballot for a period OF
six years thereafter. We, further de-
mand that 25 per cent otsyotes cast
at the last election shall he required
on petition to invoke the referen'
DUN on state appropriations.
Against Proportional Representa-
tlon-We are opposed to the pro-
posed amendment to the oregon con-
stitution known as the proportional
representation" amendment. II Is
an in-digested measure. fathered by
popullsts who have stolen the livery
of the Republican party. It's par
pose is to foist into office by trick
ana artifee men whom the people
could not be induced TO elect. II is
un-American and opposed TO the
practice and tradition OF our people.
When offices are 10 be filed II Is
proper that those candidates reeeiv-
ing the highest number OF votes
should be declared elected.
Opposed 20 the Recall-We are
also opposed TO the proposed amend
ment 10 the oregon constitution
known as the "recall' amendment.
Section 19 of article VII of the con-
stitution of oregon provides for dis
missal and punishment of dishonest
or incompetent public officers and
we believe that additional eonstitu-
tional provision therefor Is unneees-
sary. During the course OF his ON
eIal career, a public oficer Is often
called upon TO do acts that do not
meet with popular approval bat
which the lapse OF time will justify.
