FROM WASHINGTON.

Declaring that the people OF Cali
fornia by adopting the initiative, refer
enduIn, and recall in their election this
week had substituted the general vel
fare instead Of selfish interest as the
motive power OF government, and pre-
dieting similar motion by every other
state in the Union, Senator Jonathan
Bourne, representative Of Oregon, in
statement given to the United Press,
today commented upon the result IN
the Pacific coast state. Senator Bourne
said:
Il consider the result of tue election
10 California :has given to the people
OF that state the tools OF government, 1t
has put upon them the responsibility
for their legislation and the selec-
ton of their public servants,
it was substituteds general welfare
for selfish interest as the motive
power of government, making public
servants accountable to the composite
citizen, individual unknown, has pro-
vided linitless field for the develop
ment OF the individual the highest in
dividual development acting as mag
net to draw the general electorate to
the same plume OF development, has
substituted ideas for money, equal op'
portnnity for special privilege, intel
lectual organization for individual or
ganization, as the avenue through
which political forces hereafter must
operate.
"The national importance OF the re-
suit is the demonstration by the state
! electorate that they appropriated and
grasped the opportunity presented them
| and that they have added momentum
to the national movement now going
on, which must and will result in every
state in the union adopting the means
Of popular government instead OF goy-
eminent by delegated authority"
OF the victory accredited to woman
suffrage IN today's reports from Cali
| iornia Senator Bourne said:
II believe in woman suffrage
Women are more highly attuned than
| men, and less selfish. While they may
not at firstaexercise the right they have
won, when great issue is at stake. !!
am sure the women of California will
be found voting, and always on the
| side OF morality and progress.
