WOULD YOU GO BACK?

Judge Henry E McGinn is one OF
the big republicans of the state who
does not believe in the reactionary
assembly plan. At the assembly
smoker held in Portland Wednesday
evening he struck straight from the
shoulder at the scheme that is now
being fostered with so much care.
1.-The direct primary law came to US
as the result of the most corrupt pol
itics any state has ever known" de-
clared the judge. 'Tf there had ever
been an honest election of United
States senator's, or an uncontrolled
convention, or decent politics or any
kind under the old system, there
would have been no direct primary
law, no Statement No. l. no initiative
and referendum. These things are the
result of the protest of the people
against the rottenness Of the Old plan
and the old politics and the old lead

all know it, l know it because 1 was
a part Of it, be it said to my shame.
I, as a young man, went through the
school of the old system and l do not
want to see any young man of the
present day go through the same eS-
perience that I went through before
the passing of the old regime and the
coming of the new. For that reason,
If for nothing else, 1 am against the
assembly and what means.
You say you are going to have an
assembly. l ask you who will be there
who will compose it, who will control
It: I will tell you. The agents of the
electric light company will be there.
The agents of the street railways and
the gas companies and of the preda-
tory trusts, and combinations and of
the big railroad companies will all
have seats. The men who have fran
chises to guard. the men who fatten
off the fruits of the red light district,
the men who own saloons, they will
all he there. But the wage worker,
the small tax payer, the merchant and
business man, the honest people of
the state, will not be present. How
ir Gods name could they be? What
chance would they have TO be selected?
'In all the history Of the state
have known but one senatorial elec-
ton by the legislature under the old
system that was honest, and that was
the election of Senator Fulton. There
never was a time. except that. when
the senatorship was not put up for
barter and sale know because was
there and through 1t. / remember the
time when the Northern Pacific pur
UT $4,000 to defeat the election Of
Senator Simon and we only had s1s,-
600 ourselves. And I remember othel
political campaigns where the inter.
ests paid our whole campaign ex.
penses and no man had to put up q
cent in his own behalf"
Judge McGinn's speech rings stronl
and true and 1t is wholesome music
to hear a man speak fearlessly as hi
did. Now what do you thing Mr.

Pendleton needs all the electric
power it can secure. This city needs
the power to be developed by the
Washington & Oregon company; it
needs the power from the John Day
river and likewise the power to be de-
veloped upon the Umatilla. Electric
power means traction lines and manu-
featuring establishments. These are
essentials in the upbuilding of a city

ANOTHER SAT- !.
WAS ROBBED =
LAST NIGHT

Although several alleged yegg-
men are now locked up in the coun-
ty jail charged with blowing half q
dozen safes in the territory contig-
uous to Charleston a robber entered
the store of w. G. Mead and CON-
pany, in Summers street, Tuesday
night, and took $3.50 from the
safe.
Apparently the safe was not lock-
ed for the night and the entrance to
the cash drawer was effected by tear
ing a hinge off the drawer In the
safe. All the money in the safe at
the time Of the burglary was re-
moved, but several checks were left
In the drawer. g.
Appearances would indicate that
the job was the work Of an amateur
and 1t is believed that some one we'll
acquainted with the store was respon-
sible for the job. Owing to the alb
sence Of some of the employees, this
morning, it was impossible to say
whether or not the safe was locked
last night. If it was locked some
body who knew the combination
made the robbery and afraid of dis
covery took the money from the
drawer and left the checks.
