Great Speeches.

Democrat and Chronicle, and other papers of high-standng have beer discussing that Appomattox-apple- tree speech by which Roscoe Conkling, in the national conven- tion in 1880. proposed Grant for a third term. It was a powerful speech, and everybody who read it at the time, and especially every body who heard it. will be apt to remember sufficient about it, and about the man who delivered it and the circumstaces which called it forth, to know that it was an ad- dress which will live in the annals of the age. An interesting fact connected with this subject, and one which no paper mentioned, is that the historically great address es in the national conventions of the big parties have won no prizes for the men in whose favor they were made.
 In eloauenee and point no other speech in the Whig convention in Baltimore in 1852 even remotely approached the one which Rufus Choate made for Webster. but Webster was never serious fac tor in the balloting. In every one of the fifty-three ballots Fillmore and Scott had several times as many votes as Webster, and Scott carried off the candidacy. Rob- ert G. lngersoll's plumed-knight' ' speech in which he said, Like an armed warrior, like plumed knight, James c. Blaine marched down the halls of the American congress and threw his shining lance full and fair against the bra zen forehead of every defamer of his country and maligner of it's honor," in the Cincinnati conven- ton of 1876, gave Blame a sobri- quet which he carried to the end of his life, and it made lngersoll famous. But Hayes and not Blaine won the nomination. Conkling's Appomattox speech in the Chicago convention of 1880 in favor of Grant captivated the coun- try at the moment and swept the convention off it's feet" (except the delegates). Garfield's in fa- vor of Sherman in the same con- vention was scarcely inferior to Conkling's in point of power. Neither Grant nor Sherman re- ceived the candidacy. Garield's speech for Sherman helped Gar field to get the nomination for him. self in the deadlock, although neither he nor anybody else at the opening of the convention had thought of him as a possibility. When Bryan made his cross of gold speech which stampeded the Chicago convention in 1896 he was not, ostensibly, talking for himself. nor did anybody in the convention think of him in con- nection with the candidacy at the time he got up there to speak. He entered that convention as a mem Der of a contesting delegation, and was unknown to the country at the time, though he had the president ial bee in his bonnet and was work ing for his own nomination all the time he was in the convention.
 Champ Clark's speech proposing Crockrell in the St. Louis conven- tion of 1904 was the most breezy and eloquent which was delivered there, surpassing Martin W. Little tons in favor of Parker. But Cockrell was far down in the list in the voting, and Parker got the candidacy.
 In choosing presidents the peo- pie and not the silver tongued orators are dominant in the con- ventions as well as at the polls.

ORGANIZED STATE
COMMITTEE
State Central Committee Or.
ganizes at Tacoma
Thursday.

The republican state central COM
mittee was organized at Tacoma on
Thursday by the selection of W. b.
Coiner, of Tacoma, as chairman, and
Edgar c. Snider as secretary. Twen-
ty-five committeeman out of the 3S
were present at the meeting. The
organization was distinctly har-
mOny affair. While the committee
is overwhelmingly standpat, yet the
disposition of those present appeared
to be strongly in favor of uniting
former factions of the party. To
that end, Colonel Coiner, a standpat-
ter, was elected chairman, and Mr..
Snyder, strong supporter of Judge
Poindexter, was elected secretary.
The only business of record which
| was transacted outside the regular
routine will be presented to the COM
ing legislature asking for the pass
age of a law providing that the jul
dietary shall be elected by a direct
vote of the people. The central COM
mittee will publish the list of cam
paign speakers for the state some
time the first part of the week.
Both former chairman. ]. D. Hoge
of Seattle. and secretary, J. F. Ly-
ons, declined to run for re-electno.

DELAY LAND OPENING
Montana Board Stops Company:
Plans.

Helena, Mont, Oct. 22.-The state
Carey land act board today issued
an order postponing the opening of
lands for settlement in the northern
part of this county on October 22nd
by the Great Falls Land and Irriga-
ton company of Chicago, successors
to the Ames Realty company, of st.
Louis, in what is known as the Dear
born project. About 10000 acres
are involved.
The board takes the view that the
work is progressing so slowly that
the company will not be able to fur
nish water to settlers on the first of
next June as promised. 1t was this
same tract that the government
threatened to sue the state to recov-
err, because it was improperly re-
claimed, when the Chicago people
stepped in. No date is fixed in the
order.

ACCIDENTS CHAPTER
Several Railroad Men Severely if Not
Fatally Injured.

Conductor Miller, of the Great
Northern, fell off of a west-bound
freight train Tuesday night about
1870, one and a half miles east of
town. The train was making sche-
dule time, and as his train was near
ing the yard limit he went out on
the step of the caboose to take OBJ
servations. Without warning the
step on which he was standing gave
way and he was thrown over rocky
embankment and lodged some 80
feet below.
Half an hour later the passenger
train came along, when by the aid
of the headlight the engineer dis
covered Conductor Miller on the
rocks. The train was stopped and
he was brought to town, ana later
sent to the Spokane hospital for
treatment.
The extent of the injuries is not
known here, but he was very badly
bruised.

Popular vs. Delegated Govt
Senator Bourne of Oregon Describes the System of Government Pre- valing in His Home State, Absolute Government

election of United States senators by the people was again indOrsed by the passage of the bill by a popular vote of 69,66S for it to 21.162 against IL, or by nearly 312 to l.
 How Democrat Was Elected Sen
 tor.
 MT. President. in this connection I deem it proper to divert for a time from an explanation of our primary law and give concrete Il lustration of its operation. Both my colleague, Senator Chamberlain, and myself were selected by the people and elected by the legislature under the provision of this law. Opponents of popular government. and espec- tally of the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, have bitterly assailed state ment No. 1 of our law because a legislature, overwhelmingly Republi, can elected my colleague, who was a candidate selected by the Demo cratic party and nominated by the whole electorate of the state as the peoples choice of our state for United States senator. Upon re flection I think every intelligen' man who Is honest with himS If must concede that this fact, instead of being the basis of criticism is the highest kind of evidence as 10 the efficiency of the law, and every advocate of the election of United States senators by a popular vote must realize that oregon has evolved plan through it's state ment No. l. provision of it's primary law, wherein. in effect. the people en- joy the privilege of selecting their United States senators, and, through the specialization Of public opinion the legislative ratification of their action.
 The Oregon legislature consists of 90 members. 30 in the senate and so in the house. 46 making the nee essary majority on full attendance for the election of United States senator. Fifty-one members out of 90 of the legislature which elected my colleague, Senator Chamberlain were subscribers to statement No 1. making in joint ballot a major ity of out of a total of 90 mem bers. All of these Il members sub scribed to statement No. 1 pledge voluntarily, and it was so subscribed 10 by them from a personal belief in the desirability of the popular election of United States senators and for the purpose of securing for themselves from the electorate pre- ferme nt in the election to the office sought; the consideration in exchange for such preferment was to be by them as the legally constituted rep resentative of the electorate in their behalf, the per lunctory confirmation of the peo- Dle's selection of United States sen ator as that choice might be ascer- tained under the provisions of the same law by which the legislators themselves secured nomination to of fee.

not on that account be deharred from the ballot IL will be seen. therefore, that three courses are open 10 him. He may subscribe 10 statement No. 1 as follows:
 further state to the people Cf Oregon. as well as to the people of my legislative district, that during my term of office I shall always vote for that candidate for United States senator in congress who has re- Ceived the highest number of the peo- ple's vote for that position at the general election next preceding the election of a senator in congress without regard to my individual pref erenCe.
 Or he may subscribe to statement No. ?. as follows:
 During my term of office I shall consider the vote of the people for United States senator in congress as nothing more than recommends ton which l shall be at liberty to wholly disregard if the reason for doing so seems to me to be suf- ficient
 Or he may be perfectly silent on the election of United States sen ator. IL is entirely optional with he candidate.

 The law further provides that United States senators may be nomi- mated by their respective parties in the party primaries, and the candi dates receiving the greatest number ,f nominee Then. in the general cleo ton the party nominees are voted for by the people, and the individual receiving the greatest number of votes in the general election there. by becomes the peoples choice for United States senator.
 Notwithstanding that our primary election law embodying these state ments, particularly statement No l. was passed by a popular vote of ap- proXimately 56,00o for to 16.0OO against. the opponents of the law charged that the people did not know what they were doing when they voted for it. Therefore. the advO- cates of the election of senators by the people and of the enforce ment of statement No. 1 submitted to the people under the initiative in 1908 the following bill:
 Be it enacted by the people of the
 state of Oregon:
 Section l. That We the people of fhe state fl Oregon, hereby instruct our representatives and senators in our legislative assembly. as such of ticers, to vote for and elect the candi- dates for United States senators from this state who receive the highest number of votes at our general cleo, tions
 Alth"ugh there was no organized campaign made for the adoption of this bill, other than the argument accompanying its submission. while the opponents of the primary law as sailed it vehemently, the basic prin- ciple of statement No 1 and the
