The large number Of weddings Of re-

from a well known professional man
of chickasha this morning. that II was
due to the year being leap year. and
the fact that girls were more adept at
love-making than men. This. however,
is not the case in Chickasha, as the
marriage records prove the reverse TO
be true. In the year Of 1907. there
were Ss2 licenses issued in this city,

Turn back again for the time, for
twenty years, and come on down the
line, and we find every Republican
state convention passing resolutions
in favor OF election OF United States
senators by popular vote and the
legislators OF the state OF Oregon fol-
lowing suit. oil these resolutions
and promises and laws are violated
even before the people have had an
opportunity to try them out or to en-
force them.

then wandering away from the Re
publican fold and following after
false gods. and voting for the un-
limited coinage OF free silver at the
ratio OF l6 TO and advocating these
thoughts through the columns OF the
oregonians.
II the able editor OF the oregonian
has became convinced that he was
wrong when he advocated the pri-
mary law and the election OF United
States senators by the popular vote.
would Il not be better for him 70
come opt anu Hckuew ewledge the error
OF hisy.way and right the wrong by
good. clean argument, and not by
calling Statement No. Republicans
fools and towards and yiolators OF
thier oaths and the constitution
But It is MT. scott's policy to rule or
ruin. and he is attempting 10 rule all
the Republicans out Of the party who
are advocating the very doctrine that
he formerly preached. II Mr.. Scott
was right when he advocated the
election OF senators by the popular
vote. he is wrong now.
When the Republicans pledged
themselves to vote for the late Sen
ator ]. N. Dolph for reelection. and
violated their sacred pledge the
oregonlan for many moons abused
them and read them out of the Re-
publican party. II you were right
then, Mr.. Scott, you are wrong now
when yon ask Republican members
OF the legislature to violate their
pledge to the whole people; and II
you were right. Mr.. Scott, when yon
abused Republicans for violating
their pledge to Senator Dolph. you
were wrong when you telegraphed to
Senator Brownell on the last day OF
the esssion OF 1908. to vote for r.
w. Scott for U. s. senator and vio-
late the pledge he had made 10 Sen
ator Fulton.
The oregonian is much worried
about Statement No. l Republicans
violating their oaths and the const'-
tuition OF the United States. and has
written many editorials warning
them OF the great crime they ars
about to cimmt. Now let US see
what the constitution OF the United
States ssys about the election OF sen
ators. Section OF article reads;
''Ths .seaates of the United States
shall he composed OF two senators
from each state. chosen BY the legis-
Iature thereof" Now ] do not

Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1908-11-12

"SV 10 contemplating, or wants to,
or Will violate this section of tho
constitution; on theother hand, thev
expect to vote to a man to represent
oregon in the United States senate
as provided for in said section 2 ar
ticle l, unless through the efforts OF
the Oregonian and others who want
to be U. s. senator there is a holdup
and they are prevented from so do
ing. Such things have happened in
the past.
Again, the oregonian has pub
lished column after column saying
that Statement No. Republicans
are about TO violate their oaths as
members of the legislature Here is
the oath that each member is re-
quired TO take: 81 do solemnly swear
or affirm as the case may be, that
will support the constitution of the
United States and the constitution of
the state of Oregon. and I will faithI
fully discharge the duties OF repre-
sentative or senator. as the case may
lbe."
Now, in all candor, I will ask Mr.
Scott what theoath or constitution
has to do with the election of U.
s. senator any more than Il requires
the members Of the legislature to
elect senator; and the constitution
further provides, that the man elect
ed shall be a citizen OF the United
States and the state OF Oregon, and
OF certain age. II does not say
that a man must be a certain brand
OF Republican or Democrat
The Republican party passed the
primary law. All the Republican
leaders OF Oregon advocated IT, Mr..
Scott wrote some of the most able
editorials that were ever published
in favor of this law that he is now
condemning. Lincoln has said that
"The best way to repeal bad law is
to enforce it," have confidence In
the people and in the Republican
party that II they find the primary
law is not a good law they will, by
their votes, repeal Il.
The editor OF the oregonian has
written many good, able articles IN
the past 20 years showing up the
corruption and evils OF the senator
ial election at Salem. He has writ
ten many able articles about the
use OF money and the buying OF
votes and the holdups in the Oregon
Legislature, and has been so unkind
. as to say that money was used at thS
holdnp session and in the session oi
= 1903 TO elect U. s. senator, and heI
q published affidavits that two OF the
a leaders OF the Republican party In
Oregon actually gave a member oi

A his vote. There Is no prospect OF {
n Statement No. man ever gettint
$500, or any other sum. for hi
vote unless he violates his pledg'
made 10 the people.
II Is TO be hoped that wisdom will
not die with the oregonlan. and tina
some modern Moses will come fortl
and gather together the scattered
hosts OF the Republican party tha
mr.. Scott has kicked out. and tina
before another election rolls aroun'
