THE MAINE ELECTION

Since the Maine election many
of the people are asking the
question, rs the Republican
party losing its power?" The
answer is in the negative. Its
political significance is clear. It
means that the progressive Re-
publieans of Maine have come to
the fore with their votes and
helped oust the trust-corpora.
tons from politics. The people
demand relief from the old order
of things, and combination of ef-
fort was necessary to accom-
plish results, hence the outcome.
The country need not fear that
the Republican party has gone
against the rocks as it is far
from that. The progressives, or
in other words, the men who are
demanding equality to all and
special favor to none will take
charge of the good old party and
steer it to safe moorings. But
this will not be accomplished
until the interests are driven
from politics, and the present
conflict will continue until these
results are obtained. The people
have become tired and disgusted
with the greedy stand taken by
trust-corporations and have flock
ed to support the ableand fearless
champions of right. They are
now shifting the responsibility
of carrying the Republican party
from the shoulders of those who
no longer understand right from
wrong, and placing it upon those
who will give them a govern
ment of equal rights and equal
opportunities.
Through skillful manipulations
the trust-corporations have been
able to fool the American people
for years and at the peoples ex-
pense. Insurgency will place it
back to where it was when Lin
coin was in power. This then is
a period of reconstruction and
not destruction. The Insurgents
will take over the reins of gov
ernment, map out a platform in
accordance with the wishes of
the people, and the voters will
carry them on to victory. When
this is accomplished the Repub-
lican party will again be the
party for the people, which
stands for equal rights and justice
to all.

If the assembly candidates are
successful the corporations win
within two years have perfected
a political machine which viii
make the Tammany of New York
look like a shadow beside the
real thing.
Assemblyism and its followers
are foes to the direct primary
law and statement number one.
The primary law and statement
number one insures government
officers selected by the people.
Assemblyism represents govern
ment by large trust-corporations,
Assemblyism means, the big.
corporation men select the can
didates, and once selected we
can say which one of the men
they have put before us we are
to have. Anti-assembiyism means
chat any man, be he a common
laborer working in a ditch, q
plowman behind q plow, a herder
behind a band of sheep or cattle,
or in any other walk of life is
competent and able to select his
candidates, and that he will do
so. The first. or assemblyism is
government by large corpora
tions. The second, anti-assem-
blyism, is government by the
people and that needs no
recommendations. The voters of
Oregon alone must decide these
questions and the voters of the
state are now on trial.

The Corporation paper of
Condor, The Times, seeks to con-
vince the people that the Globe
is either a strong supporter of
Bourne in his campaign for Sena-
tor or is in fact owned by Bourne.
Either the editor of the Times is
not a close reader of the Globe
(which however has been proven
in the past few editions)
or he is deliberately trying to
mislead the people. Some few
months ago when Judge Stephen
A. Lowell who is a strong anti
assembly follower, made the
declaration that he would be q
candidate for Senator two years
hence the Globe announced
through its columns thatit would
support his candidacy. At that
time it was we'll known that
BORN would seek reelection.
If this paper was owned by
Bourne would it be advisable to
work against his candidacy? Only
such editors as those of the
Times class would translate the
question in the affirmative.
Now we will ask thel Times,
What will you do when Lowell
runs against Bourne" If
Bourne controls the Globe, would
you work for him? You cannot
work for Lowell because he is
strictly anti-assembly and SO
announces in the press throught
the state. In fact we would say
to you that Il you cannot produce
argument more consistent than |
you have heretofore, your
at journalism should be |
strictly to those of your |
own class and not be spread |
amongst intelligent people who |
only laugh at your feeble-minded |
attempts at editorial writing.

THE WORD ADVISORY"

When we see a mechanic al
work we can readily notice from
his actions whether or not he is
a good mechanic. How? By
noting all the ear marks of 8
good workman, and the fact that
he uses his tools as he should
and as others in his trade.
We also know it to be a well
known fact that big business
corporations, when forming a
trust, are compelled to absorb
all the small competing COM
panies. After this arrangement
has been made and they have
entered into a compact, the man.
ayers for most of these small
concerns agree to not enter into
any competition with the trust,
but experience has shown that
dishonest managers can easily
break the agreement unbeknown
to the trust company. In order
to avoid this competition the
trust forms what is called an
Advisory Board" not the board
of directors, but a board who is
to advise the board of directors
what they are to do. For this
they receive a salary of about
$4,000 per year from the trust,
But this board of directors MAY
or MAY NOT follow (but that is
not what they are there for)
their advice. Experience has
shown that this works out sue
cessfully.
The people under the primary
law of Oregon do not know any
thing about an Advisory Board".
nor have they use for such a
phrase, so this cannot be the in
vention of the people. But how
about the assembly? It is called
the Advisory Board for the peo-
pie. Advisory Board is a corpor-
alton term or phrase, contrived
by the Assemblyites, still they
claim that they do not represent
the corporations, but We have
them with the goods on. |
We wonder how many are on
salary of the corporations, and
now many of that august body
ire receiving a salary of $4,000 |

WILL THE PEOPLE RULE

Oregon now has the same
struggle to contend with as that
passed off into history in Iowa,
Kansas, Wisconsin, California,
Washington, Idaho, and other
states, There it was heralded
as a struggle against Cannonism,
Aldrichism, corporation rule,
machine rule, and numerous
other names. In Oregon we
have it to contend with under
the guise of assemblyism. AS
semblyism is backed up by large
corporate interests and stands
for those policies which under
mine good government. 1t stands
for the death of the primary law
and statement number one, any
statements to the contrary not
withstanding. Oil and water do
not mix, nor can assemblyism
and the direct primary law, as
they are inconsistent and opposed
to each other under the Oregon
statute. Anti-assembly means
progressive laws and equal rights
to the laboring man and small
business interests also honest
and legitimate corporations.
Assembly means class rule. If
you want any more Cannonism
or Aldrichism vote for the as
sembly candidates. If you de.
sire peoples rule vote for the
anti-assembly candidates. Do
not scatter the votes, but cast
them for the strong men and
escape the trap that has been
set by the corporations to out
think you.

The color in your cheeks won't

This was the advice of a prominent
physician to a woman's club in Bos-
ton, and it is good advice.
Belching of gas, heaviness, sour
taste in mouth. dizziness, biliousness
and nausea occur simply because the
stomach is not properly digesting the
food.
The blood needs nourishment to
carry vigor, vim and vitality to every
part Of the body and when food fer

ment Is not supplied.
