Reno. Nevada, Sept. IL. 1910.
Apparently some uncertainty and
doubt exist in the minds Of many voters
as to the purpose and effect Of that part
of the Direct Primary Law relative to
the election of United States Senators.
Being a candidate on the Democratic
ticket for that honorable and important
Office aud seeking the suffrage and sup
port of all our citizens, l feel that IL 10
my duty to publicly and unequivocally
declare my construction and stand on
that part of the law.
The Constitution Of the United States
prescribes that United States Senators
shall be elected by the State Legisla-
lures, and the members of Legislatures
cannot be deprived Of this privilegewith-
out amending the Constitution. Such
an amendment will undoubtedly be
adopted in the near future, as two-thirds
of the States of the Union have endorsed
the amendment and requested that it
be submitted to the people. Our State
Legislature has unanimously declared
in favor of such amendment. and all
parties in our State have heretofore in
their platforms demanded that United
States Senators be elected by the direct
vote Of the people and have pledged the
members of their respective parties to
the support of such principle.
While the Legislature cannot be de.
prived, without such amendment. of the
power Of electing United States Sena-
tors, a method has been provided in the
Direct Primary Law by which the
people may instruct the members Of the
Legislature as to their choice. 1t is also
provided by such law that the legisla-
tive candidates may file with their
nomination papers a statement as to
whether or not they will respect the
will Of the people and vote for the
peoples choice for United States Sena-
tor. Similar provisions have been tried
with success in other States.

Political Announcement
Key Pittman Issues Statement
Candidate Submits Pledge Binding Himself to Abide
By the Selection Made for United States Senator by
The People at Coming General Election

In Oregon two years ago, Senator
Chamberlain. a Democrat, was elected,
although a majority Of the Legislature
was Republican. The plan is being
tried in this State ct this election for
the first time. A number Of the leRis-
lative candidates Of each Of the parties
have failed to pledge themselves to
abide by the will Of the people and vote
for the candidate for United States
Senator, irrespective Of party. receiving
the greatest number Of popular votes at
the ensuing general election. / believe
that in most cases this omission occurred
through q Misunderstanding rather
than through q desire to defeat the will
of the people, and my actions will be
governed accordingly. But even il
every member Of the Legislature should
refuse to pledge himself to the people
and should attempt to deprive the
people Of the right they demand and are
entitled to, l would not be . party to
such uni Democratic conduct.
And for the purpose of setting ct rest
any doubts that may exist as to my BON.
duct in any event, / pledge myself. on
my word Of honor. - follows:
II at the ensuing general election.
either Senator George s. Nixon, Repub-
lican nominee for United States Sena-
tor. or Honorable Judd Harris, Socialist
candidate for United States Senator,
shall receive the greatest number Of
votes for such office, then l will use
every honorable means to induce every
member Of the Senate and Assembly to
vote for such candidate; and l will I'M
~eauivocally and finally refuse to permit
my name to be submitted to soch Legis.
lature to be voted upon for such office;
and in the event such Q vote il had
against my will. under the conditions
referred to above, I will not recognize
