FROM JESSE FAILING.

Pendleton, Ore, Sept. %.
Editor East Oregonian:
Do you know there is United
States law defining how L. S. sena-
tors shall be elected? Take particu-
lar notice of the word shall. l pre-
sumo you are aware that a man ell
ected to the state legislature before he
takes his seat must take an oath to
support the constitution and laws of
the United States. Now are you not
aiding and abeting these so-called re-
publicans to commit perjury when
you advise them to subscribe to state
ment No. L? As a democrat it is ex-
pected that you will do all you can
to divide the republican party, but
don't ask them to commit a crime
for the sake of a few democratic
votes Again a state law forbiding
the people TO assemble for any pur-
pose would conflict with the consti-
tuition of the United States, therefore
would be null and void. 1t seems to
me that the assembly is the very es-
sence of the primary law. Without
this it has proved to be delusion and
snare. 1t sounds nice te say the
people rule, but how does it work.
Two or more, perhaps half dozen,
nominate themselves for office. They
may all be good men, and then per-
haps not one of them capable to fill
any office, what is the voter to do,
pick out the best of the lot or lose his
vote, only one can be selected and the
chance is the other five will vote the
democratic ticket. This is why we
have two "stolen bottles" in the upper
house of congress that no body wants.
l. was enough to make the bodies of
Mitchell and Dolph turn in their
graves when that 90 million was float
ing around to see the state of Oregon
loose its proper share. If they had
been in place of Bourne and Cham
berlain: if they had not been close
Iy watched they would have got away
with the whole cheese"
Goodness knows that the old con-
vention was bad enough but COM
pared with the way the primary Is
worked it was a prayer meeting. This
with statement No. l the democratic
party have found a trap ready set to
catch Geudgeon.

THE LEGISLATIVE CONTEST.

In the legislative contest in this
county the principal issue has to do
with the attitude of candidates
towards statement No. /. This is par
cause the senators who are to be elec-
ted this year will holdover and so will
vote for the next United States sena-
tor.
For state senator from this county
Dr. C. ]. Smith is seeking the demo-
lcratic nomination and a reelection
He is and has always been statement
No. l man and is staunch advocate
OF the direct primary law. In view
Of his views and his creditable record
as state senator during the past eight
years 1t seems certain that he will
be reelected. Especially so if the re-
publican nomination goes to an anti
statement man as now seems newt
able.
For joint senator there are two can
didates for the republican nomina-
ton. c. A. Barrett, representative
during the past four years, is seeking
the nomination upon his record. He
is statement No. man and repre-
sents the anti-assembly sentiment
He has been tried in the fire and
found true to the principles for which
he stands. His opponent S. F. Will
son. is the assembly selection and has
refused to subscribe to statement No
l. Under the circumstances it will
be surprising indeed if Mr. Barrett is
not nominated.
For representatives from this coun-
ty there are two statement No. l can
didates. They are R. w. Hennemau
and Dr. NJ. s. Kern. Both have TAX
en- the statement No. 1 pledge. S. D.
Peterson also asserts his fidelity to
the statement No cause but has not
subscribed to the statement Other
d
L. Mann. ]. T. Hinkle and Henry
Schmitt. None of these men have
taken statement No. 1.
Though no senator is to be elected
at the coming session of the legisla-
ture it is important that statement
No. l representatives be chosen. Fur
ther efforts may be made in the leg
islature to re-establish the old manner
of electing senators and the people
should see that the legislature is COM
posed Of men who favor the statement
No / system. Do not take chances
on any more infamous measures like
the Brooke-Bea bill.
! If you favor the principle of elect
ling United States senators by direct
vote of the people then vote only for
statement No. l men at the primary
| election Saturday.

A REPUBLICAN POLICY.

Judge Grant 3. Dimick, leading
anti-assembly candidate for the re-
publican nomination for governor,
points out that the republicans of
this state favor the direct election of
senators and therefore statement No,
/. The following utterance by Judge
Dimick is from the Oregon City Cour-
ier:
Before the adoption of the direct
primary law by the legal voters of
this state, the republican state con-
vention went on record by inserting
a plank in it's platform strongly en-
dorsing the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people
and we practically have the system
in our state at the present time under
and by virtue of statement No.
provided for in our direct primary
law, and which l contend should bt
preserved by our people as a safeguart
against the corrupt practices usual,
incident to the election of United
States senators by the members o
the legislature"

NO CAUSE FOR WORRY.

In a letter which this paper pub
fishes today Jesse Failing rnakes the
argument that United States senators
must be elected by legislatures and
that therefore the statement No. l
plan is unconstitutional.
In answer to Mr.. Failing it may be
said that legislative candidates do not
have to take statement No. / They
may take it or refuse to do so just
as they see fit. Those who take state
ment No. | are in the position of the
man who is looking for employment
and says to his prospective employer:
eff you give me a position 1 will fol-
low your instructions" The man who
refuses to take statement No. l is in
the position of the man who says: 81
want the position, but if you give me
the job I will do what I please and
will not heed your wishes" Usually
an employer wants to secure man
who will obey instructions and carry
out the will of his employer who pays
him for his work.
A member Of the legislature is noth-
ing but a servant of the people Of this
state. He receives his office from the
people and likewise his salary. II he
t. good servant he will obey their
instructions. That the people want
legislators who will obey their instruc-
tions with reference to the election of
senators is shown by the fact that
Oregon has already elected two state
ment No. legislatures.
That the system of allowing legis-
1ative candidates to pledge themselves
to the peoples choice is entirely legal
and constitutional has been amply
were elected in this way and both
were seated without protest, despite
the fact that one is a democrat Many
other states Of the union are also
choosing senators In this manner and
everywhere the system is regarded
with satisfaction. It is considered
better to have legislative candidate.
make open pledges to their constitu
ents than to have them make secre

bis people than to elect man whc
will go to the legislature with on'
hand held out behind. ready to de

The East Oregonian feels It can as
sure Mr.. Failing and other men wh'
may think as he does. that there 4
no occasion for worry for fear state
ment No. 1 is unconstitutional. No
need such men fear II the republican
party takes up with this and othe
progressive principles. Current event
plainly show that the hope Of the re
publican party Hes in the predomi
nance Of the progressive over tn
sfandpat element within that party

John H. Lewis, who is running for

NATIONAL ALARM CLOCK.

An American and Highlander
were walking one day on the top of
one of the Scotch mountains when the
Scotchman. wishing to impress his
boastful cousin" produced a famous
echo to be heard in that place. When
the echo returned clearly after nearly
four minutes the proud Scotchman,
turning to the Yanke exclaimed
"There. mon, ye Gamma show anything
like that in your country"
To which the other replied: Il
guess we can better that some, stran-
ger. Why in my shooting lodge in
the Rockies when I go to bed l just
lean out of my window and call OUT:
Time to get up; wake up! and eight
hours afterwards the echo comes
back and wakes e."-Truth.

such depth to the morning meadows.

! times during the last twenty years
when the pendulum had swung
from ultra conservatism to pro-
gressiveism. That the great cor
porations manipulated the conser-
vatives to secure their own ends
and in 40 case did they contine
themselves to any one party.
The speaker showed plainly that
the conservatives always stood to-
gether upon every measure favor
able to the trusts, as witnesses by
the fact that the conservative dem
/ ocrats anil conservative republi-
cans stood together i n urging
h adoption Of h Can
non rules; that they stood togeth
er in the revision of the Tariff
schedules, and the only hope OF
just administration was in the
combined force of the prcgressives
both republicans and democrats.
The speaker further stated that
there was great disparity between
the platform Of the Republican
Progrissives and that Of the Re
publican Conservatives. That the
former showed a marked tendency
to favor the Rooseveltian policies
and the latter to laud and repledge
themselves to Taft.
After a lengthy dissertation ur-
on the state senatorial contest and
exploding the idea that Senator
Clark may be possible candidate
the speaker dealt in an able man
ner with the question of Public
Utilities stating that he would urge
the next Legislature to pass a law
creating Public Utility Commits
sion, with certain we'll defined pol
icies. He then dealt with the En-
ployer's Liability Bill, which he
strongly favored, pledging himself
to do all to secure such law.
The Gov. made an able plea for
the conservation Of the public do
mnin, stating that he advocated
conservation in every conceivable
manner, but that he was out of
sympathy with the present meth
DDS of conservation by the federal
authorities. He favored the regu-
lation and conservation of the stat
es domain by the state alone. 1t
was not the best public policy that
the matter should be under federal
control and to put the funds ac-
cruing from these lands into the
U. $. treasury for the benefit of
Eastern states, at tho expense Of
those states, who have now, the
foresight to conserve.

There is no question but what
Wihaux has a fine business future
The location that it has in the
heart of the Beaver Valley, with
out doubt makes it the logical bus
mess center Of Dawson county.
There is no part of the county that
offers such rapid business growth
as this, And the town is keeping
more than good pace with the
outlying rural districts. Although
one only,needs to make trip thro'
the country in order to be convin-
ced that our farmers are in the
fairest way to prosperity. The new
homes marks the improvements.
New barnes and many a sundry
addition are substantial witnesses.
But the city Of Wibaux can al
SO boast one of the greatest years
that it has ever seen. There has
been fully $75, OUv worth Of new
buildings put up this year. And
still the building is being pushed
vigorously. The new contractor
Andrew Thorsen alone, has con-
structpd so..s9.r \ ere in. the ueigh-
borhood of about 35 new residen-
ces and additions. The new Dav-
is addition is looming up almost
like a town by itself. The new
Wibaux addition under the man
agement of the JORDAN Real Estate
Company is also beginning to move
and new buildings are dotting
what was once vacant prairie.
Among some of the more sub.
stantial improvements are the fol-
lowing new buildings in our city.
The new Bank block costing in
the neighborhood of $4,000.
This large and commodious
building is solid brick block,
with a large cement cellar with con-
crete wall and foundation. The
construction above the base line is
of fine red brick. Being faced
with high grade red pressed brick
trimmed with red sand stone. This
building was erected by the Chas.
