McGinn nuulo a speecli at Portland worth republishing ' today, becattso his predictions roRimllug the character o tho assembly- wero literally fulfilled. He said: "You all know that 1 bcliovo in tho primary law, in Statement No. 1, in tho initiativo and referendum, in nil methods of progress in politics, and thnt I am opposed, strongly opposed, to tho assembly and tho reversion to old conditions. s "Tho direct primary law oamo to us in Oregon as n result of tho most corrupt politics any state had known in tho Union, bar nono. If there ovor was an honest election for United States sonator, an uncontrolled convention, or decent politics of any kind under the old system, there would havo been no direct primary law, no Statemont No. 1 ami no initi ativo and referendum. Theso things cniuo to us as tho protest of tho podplo against tho rottenness of tho old plan, old politics and old loaders of tho stato .without regard to faction. When tho poudulum swung from old conditions it went way over to new and clean ones. 1 know this, you know, because I was a part of it, bo it said to iny sliauiu As a young man 1 was tNiiued in tho school of this old corrupt system, aud I trust that no young man of tho present day may over have to go through tho sumo experience that I went through before tho passing of tho regtmo and tho coming of tho new. For this reason, if for no other, 1 am against tho assembly and all that it moans. Wo all know that peoplo used to be bought on the streets of tho city for $2.50 apiece. Wo know thnt men high in life wero engaged in tho work. "I remember tho scene in Woodmen's hall when Joseph Simon nnd Chns. H- Cnroy camo to blows over tho control of a republican convention being held there. I remember when Larry Sullivan nnd his shotgun kept tho voters from tho polling place. I remember when Oeorgo II. Williams was not allowed to cast his ballot, though ho remained in lino during tho, whole afternoon. Because of these conditions we got a primary law, because no I ono could nauio a convention that the sclush interests ot some man or set ot men. "You say that you are going to havo an assembly. I ask you who will be there, who will compose it! I will tell you. Tho agents of the electric lijjht company will be there, tho agents of tho street railways and the gas companies and of the predatory trusts, mid combinations and of the big railroad companies will all havo seats. The men who have franchises to guard, the niou who fatten off tho fruits of the red-light distriot, tho men who own saloons, thoy will all bo there. But, the wage-earner, tho small taxpayer, the merchant and busiuoss man, the honest peoplo of tho state, will not bo present. How in God's name could they bo? What chance would they have to be selected?" SHALL OREGON REMAIN PROGRESSIVE? D IRECT PRIMARY and Statement ruption in Oregon politics. No state in the Union had senatorial elections. In djsgust the people put an end to it. As a result, wo have honest elections now. Are tho people ready for a chango back to the old conditions? Is tho clock of humnn progress to havo its hands tamed back, ever so little, by Oregon republicans? Is Jackson county to nominate W. if. Colvig, a reactionary republican candidate for senator,' to servo as an opening wedge for a restoration of the old conditions, when corruption ruled tho state? Are the republicans of the first congressional district to send bnck to Washington thnt faithful servant of tho trusts, thnt stanch supporter of Cannouism, Aldrichism nnd stand-pattisra, that enemy of popular rule, thnt opponent of Statement No. 1, nssembly nominee, W. C. Ilnwley? Oregon nnd Jackson county republicans will hnve a chance to rebuke the reactionaries tomorrow, and there is no doubt but that when the vote? are counted Oregon will be found in the prorressivo column along with Cali fornia, Washington and her sistcs states. But friends of progressive government should not divide their strength. Believers in Statement No. 1 should not divide their support between the two candidates thoy should unite on the strongest, lest their assembly opponent win. Tho strongest of the two Statement candidates and the ono by far best equipped for the offico is H. Von der Ilcllcn of Wellcn. PROGRESS DEMANDS A CHANGE I F COMMISSIONER PATTERSON is in favor of denning up orchards, why did ho cut down tho force of inspectors in the midst of the clean-ing-up season, which he did Inst year? If Commissioners Patterson and Owen did not try to keep from paying Professor O'Gnrn's salary for July, why did thoy hold it up? If Commissioner Patterson is progressive, why is it necessary to send big delegations of taxpayers and orchardists to got down on their knees and beg and entreat and plead for that which any servant of the people should jump at the chance of doing? "What meat has this, our Caesar, fed upon, that he hath grown so great?" If the connty's money is not wasted in road building, why is it neces sary to rebuild them? Just look at those roads they .speak for them selves. f " Th'e county court is authority for the statement that, as near asit can be figured out, the Jacksonville road cost $30,000. Why arc not county records kept in such shape that any one can tell how much any road costs? -' There is only one issue in the county commissionership contest prog ress, and the material welfure and progress of the county demand a change. Secure it by nominating a successful business, man and financier county commissioner George L. Davis. This is the last day for politics until after the primaries, elections law forbids comment on election day.

GOLVIG TALKS TO SLIM AUDIENCE .(Valley Roeord.) William M. Colvig, an alleged re publican, and candidate for the re publican nomination for stato sen ator, came to Ashland Monday af ternoon to meet his advertisement to speak in the plana, tho point from whouco the socialists and salvation army hurl their thuuderoolts at tho strolling oitUen who may wish to in terest himsolf. Tho weather was in clement nnd the candidate invited his audience into tho city hall, where ho spent tho ovoniug entertaining them. The nudieneo varied from 14 to 16 men. Thoro was no attempt at enthusiasm and it is seldom that an attorney does not havo a jury of 12 and court attendants amounting to more, about him to speak to. Mr. Colvig noticed tho slim audience, but insisted that ho intended to continue his cmupnign through tho county nnd run the people dovyn in order to tell them his stori. lie assured his hearers that ho would got hid case before tho people, as ho had tho no cessary postage stamps and was imvuig me two utouMimi and some registered republican voters in Sat urday's dpritnnry' copied off nn would mail them his message before Saturday. It is to be regretted that Mr. Col vig did not havo a better audience. It consisted in etpial parts of repub licans democrats nnd socialists. Tho advertising of tho meeting was poor ly managed. The posters announced that it was io discuss politics, and as all the older residents know Bill's politics, many of them remained nwny because they did not wish to laugh in tha face of an old and es- (,....,..,.1 .! rt. .

A. Fletcher has been trying to organize, may become a reality was admitted today by Garry Horrmnnn. chairman of the national commission nnd ono of tho leaders of tho baseball world. Hermann says ho has copies of con tracts which tho now league hns In duced six major Icaguo playora to sign. The contracts stipulate that a bonus of 110,000 bo paid theso players In February to bo cashed as soon as tho league's playing season opens. Herrman belloves that tbo playors who have already signed will become managers of tho teams. Ho bolloves that the promoters nro willing to of fer bonuses to other players, but the sums paid them will bo smaller.
