II. NJ. Cake, the first candidate for
the United States senate in Oregon
to declare for statement No. 1, and
the popular election OF United States
senators has Just made public his
platform which covers every phase Of
national politics in a clear and con-
else manner
The East oregonian takes pleasure
In presenting Mr. Cakes platform in
full. believing that he has made an
appeal to the republican voters OF
the state which will insure his elec-
tion as the republican candidate at
the primaries.
Upon this platform the East Ore
gonian will support Mr.. Cake and 1t
therefore invites its readers to read
his declaration carefully. The plat
form in full Is as follows:
To the Republican Voters and People
OF the state OF Oregon:
"I am a candidate for the republi-
can nomination at the primaries on
April II. for the office Of United
States senator. for the term beginning
March 4. 1909. Realizing that It Is
a duty owe to the people to make
known my position on public ques-
tlons, I respectfully submit the fol-
lowing platform. pledging myself to
abide by its terms in the event of my
election.
parties must be preserved for only
through their medium can constitu-
tional government be carried. on.
Party fealty is necessary. and should
be shown In upholding party princi-
pies, promoting good government,
purity in public offices and harmony
in party efforts; unsettled allegiance,
dlscord and factional differences
should be condemned.
Control OF the national affairs OF
this country by the republican party
will in the future, as in the past.
Insure general prosperity and great
economic and commercial develop
ment. I am in most hearty accord
with the policies OF President Roose-
welt.
Maintain Primary Law.
"At no time in the history of this
state has there been so urgent a need
OF the attention and vigorous effort
OF a loyal citizenship In the promo
ton OF it's interests AS a state we
are upon the threshold of great
growth. OF an era of expansion along
commercial and industrial lines with
out precedent in the annals of state
building.
much that is to be done in ad-
vanclng the interests OF our COM
monwealth must come from the fed
eral government, among the most
important of which are the reclama-
ton of the arid lands within the state,
the Improvement of our waterways
the protection of our forests, and the
proper regulation and control or trans
portation facilities. Our representa-
tives in congress, charged with the
responsibility of these great interests
should be untirlng in their efforts to
secure adequate appropriations, and
proper legislation insuring the rapid
and continuous growth of the state.
"The Oregon primary laws should
be maintained. The nomination of
candidates for office by the people in
stead of through conventions tends to
do away with the evils of machine
politics and the controlling influence
of special interests, to purify and en-
hance the efficiency of public serv-
ice by making al officials responsible
for the administration of their Off
ces directly to the people.

Increase Federal Power.

81 do not believe in limiting the au-
thority and control of the states over
their individual interests and affairs
by further delegation of power to the
fedelar government. The national
government now has ample power
over all states, including the sole and
exclusive right to regulate interstate
commerce and provide for the forma-
ton, regulation and control of trans
formation companies and corporations
doing an Interstate business without
infringing upon the prerogatives Of
the states to control interstate COM
merce. 1t is not an extension of fed
eral authority that Is required, but
increased activity on the part of the
federal government in the exercise
of powers already delegated,
Railroads doing an interstate bus
mess should be subject to regulation
by the federal government to protect
the people against unreasonable rates
interstate commerce commission
should be enlarged to accomplish this
end. Grants Of public land should be
forfeited where the conditions of the
same have not been compiled with.
I am not unfriendly to corporations
in the exercise of their just and rea-
sonable rights, but I am opposed to
allowing them to oppress the people.
II favor the establishment Of the
federal government of postal savings
banks throughout the country, the in
crease of reserves In national banks,
and changes in our banking system
in securing stability and maintenance
of public confidence.
"The reclamation of arid lands is
one OF the most important needs of
oregon and a condition upon which
the full development OF our state
largely depends. l favor a vigorous
policy on the part of the federal gov
ernment in the prosecution of this
work and advocate a more urgent ap-
plication of Oregon's share of the ir-.
rigation fund to the actual develop
ment of irrigation projects, than has

BASEBALL TEAM MORE
COSTLY THAN STABLE
F. j. Farrell, Owner Of Yankees, One
Of WUI' S Most Prominent Men
IN Two Big Sports.

1t will surprise many people in the
sporting world to learn that it costs
more to run a major league baseball
team than fair sized racing stable.
But such is the fact, and Frank !.
Farrell. the owner of the Yankees.
can youch for the truth of it, Farrell
enjoys the unique distinction OF being
one of the most prominent men in
the two big professional sports. He
is power in baseball to-day and
every racing man knows OF his turf
operations.
On the two sports he spends at
conservative estimate $13S. 900 a year,
and of this close to $9S,OO is spent
on the team that is managed by
Clark Griffith. Farrell is a regular
bettor, but of course his profits or
losses I'm the ring are not included in
the above estimate
The cost of running his ball team
is about as follows: Salaries of %
players, 100000; travelling expenses.
$1,000; hotel bills, $6,375; spring
training trip, $4,000; incidentals.
clerks and attendants, $4,000 making
a total of S9T375
Mr. Farrells racing stable cost last
year about as follows: Twelve horses
at $75 a month and extras. $4,000:
entry fees, $4,000; jockey fees Cregu-
lar price of $40 a mount. $1,000: for
feits i'm stake races, 10000; travelling
expenses and attendants. $4,000: sala-
ries of three betting commissioners
$4,000. making a total of $4,000 Al
though Mr. Farrell, like all game men.
is as silent about his winnings as he
is when ne loses, it can safely be said
that racing pays him we'll i'm the long
run. In TACT it is several years since
his stable has failed to pay expenses.
As for the ball team, it has been a
financial success from the start. Mr.
Farrell was recently asked which he
liked better, racing or baseball
ITS hard 20 say which I like the
better-racing or baseball" he an
swered CAS- a steady money maker.
baseball is undoubtedly the better.
but there is a fascination about the
turf which ] cannot get over" Mr..
Farrell admitted that as personal
amusement he would choose the
ponies but he thought as a scientific
sport baseball had q much decper
hold on the public The proof OF this
is that baseball draws enthusiastic
crowds year after year without the
aid OF the attraction OF gambling
