Fight LID May GO
DOWN IN PORTLAND

PORTLAND, April 29.-That all
boxing contests, including amateur
bouts such as are held under the
auspices of the Multnomah Athletic
club, will be prohibited in this city
in the future now seems a GER
tainty. Mayor Lane expressed his
disapproval of boxing exhibitions
by saying that he did not approve
of being forced to send policemen
to each boxing tournament to
referee the bouts. and that there
was a likelihood that he would put
the ban on all fistic exhibitions in
the future in this city. He referred
to the exhibitions which have been
held ecently in Portland as being
bloody and brutal, the participants
attempting to knock each others
heads off and scattering blood ev-
erywhere.

trust of universal popular suffrage.
Representative government was at
that time considered to be an I'M
tried quantity and many of the best
thinkers and writer's believed that
the people could not be trusted
with popular suffrage to the fullest
extent, and that there was grave
danger that if so trusted the people
would be led to select demagogues
for the senate as well as for the
presidency in times of great public
excitement.
Precisely the same line of rea-
soning led the trainers of the con-
stitution to adopt it's present
scheme for the election of presi-
dent. Under that scheme the peo-
pie are deprived, theoretically, of
the power to vote directly for the
election of their own president.
According to the scheme of the
constitution, the electoral delegates
are not supposed to be pledged in
advance, either morally or legally,
to vote for any particular person
for president. On the contrary they
are. theoretically. required to exer-
else their own judgment and wis
dom in selecting the candidate for
whom each will vote for president.
There is now little difference of
opinion on the point that Jefferson,
instead of Adams, would imme-
diately have followed Washington
in the presidential chair If the
electors had been nothing but the
men of straw" which they now
are.
At the time Jefferson was elect
ed 1t was charged by Judge Wood
worth that Aaron Burr had won
over one of the electors from New
York to withhold his vote from
jefferson, and that this was pre-
vented only by the fact that the
other electors Of the state had dis
covered it in time. No one denies
that the majority of the people, as
we'll as the majority of the repub-
lican electors, desired to make
Jefferson president at that time. If
this charge of Judge Woodwork Is
we'll founded it was by mere acct
dent that the country escaped elect

During the past 30 years in Ore
gon each election of United
States senator, until that of Fulton
himself, in 1903. was attended by
rumors of bribery and corruption,
and, in some instances, by shame
full scenes which brought disgrace
upon the state. In 1904 the direct
primary nomination law, including
Statement Number One" went in
to effect. and the successors to Sen
ator Mitchell for both the short and
the full term were elected under it
in 1906.
Statement Number One" is
provision which makes it optional
with candidates for the legislature
to pledge or not to pledge them
selves to vote for the person who
receives the highest vote of the
people for the Office of United
States senator in electing such SEN
ator. If the candidate desires to
take the pledge before election, or,
indeed, before his nomination, he
effect and files it with the proper
public officer. Under the terms of
the pledge the party tsO elected to
the legislature is bound to vote for
the candidate who has received the
highest vote Of the people for the
Office of United States senator
whether that candidate belongs to
the same political party as such
member of the legislature or not.
Hence, the members of the legisla-
ture who have bound themselves
by Statement Number One" be-
come mere STRAW men" in carry
ing out the expressed will Of ma
jOrity of the people in electing a
senator. In this respect the mem
beers of the legislature who have
taken such pledge are in exactly
the same position as all delegates
to the electoral college in voting
sSs a president Of the United
Ss%tes. except that the latter are
only bound morally, whereas the
former are bound legally. although
there is no penalty provided for
failure on the part of any member
of the legislature to faithfully per-
form his pledge,

constitution of the United States

house were elected directly by the
people. as in England. and the
members of the other house by an
intermediary body of men who

of that Office. Some OF the men,

STOLE THE GAME
IN the 18TH +"

Spokane lost at Tacoma 6 to
yesterday owing to Rasty Wright
going to pieces in the seventh in
ming after having the Tiger-men at
his mercy up to that time. Wright
gave three hits in this inning and
three Tigers cross the plate. A
pitcher can't do it all, all the time.
Suess in left field made a bad error
in the same inning.
But it took Tacoma until the
eleventh to make the last run, and
then Mike Lynch. who did 1t on a
steal, was caught by 10 feet but
called safe on account of Renicker
stepping in front of the batter to
catch the ball.

were chased into their houses. Not

through the two partitions of the
house, She fell, crushed and
bleeding. and the beast threw her
to the other side of the porch anu
trampled her to death.
That more lives were not lost
was due to the bravery of Chris

shots drove Snider into stable,
