"Tt was so when Abraham Lincoln sought to save the nation and end slavery: and loyal men of all pitrtics forgot ancient party lines and gladly marched to death for the republic and human rights. "Tt was so in the last ten veal's, when another presi dent attacked the country's organized greed, which was fattening on the labor and lives of the masses; and again the masses forgot their partisanship and in overpowering numbers rallied around Theodore Roosevelt. "The people were for these men because these men were for the people. "A political party is not a group of politicians, each with his following, combining to "win the spoils of place and power. Such an organization is not a party it is a band of brigands, and its appeals in the name of party are mere attempts to beguile and defraud the voter for its selfish purposes. Such organizations and men are the tools and agents of lawless interests which know no party, at tempt to use all parties, and practice onlv the politics of prout. What is true in Indiana is equally true in New York, in California, and in Oregon. It is a nation-wide struggle of the people against mis-government for the benefit of special interests.

Party names and factions do not count it is the principle at stake. The assembly was an attack upon popular government. The slate was framed in a corporation office. The election of an assembly candidate as governor would be a decided reactionary move. The election of a faithful servant of the system to con gress will be another blow to progressive policies.

Hie coming battle is not so much between political parties, as such, as between the rights of the people and the powers of pillage. In this struggle the republicans of Indiana stand for the people. Our appeal is not to par tisans because of partisanship, but to citizens because of citizenship. "It is another phase of the conflict as old as tho re public. It was so when AVashiugton fought to lift from the people's necks the yoke of British oppression; and the people who were patriots supported him and won. "It was so when Jackson defied secession and broke the power of arrogant and unwise wealth; and while men of wore thrown open nt ?: 30 o'clock int evening. Tho lights woro not dim mod until nCtcr 11 o'slpcfc. Tho throngs of happy people who visited t'uo storo from tho time of opening until after It p. m. showed moat plainly that this store had gained n placo In thoir hearts that would Inst as long as there should bo n btoro.

Mr. Bowerman himself said in a speech in the legislature favoring a bill legalizing the assembly, that the assembly was better able to choose candidates than the people themselves were. The Oregonian and other assembly organs constantly attack the initiative and referendum as well as the direct primary. Their columns are filled with feigned pity of the hercu lean task before voters who are asked -to pass on thirty two initiative measures. The ordinary man is represented as a fool, incapable of graspinn- sunniest details. A legislator is supposed to pass intelligently upon five hundred measures in forty days, yet with four months' preparation, the ordinary man is held as too simple-minded to vote upon thirty-two. The voter has to pass upon a hundred or so candidates. If he does this intelligently, has he not brains enough to ascertain ine mems or elements or otner measures f The boss of the convention determines who shall be nominated and usually the same boss says what bills shall be passed by the legislature. If his wisdom is so superior to that of the majority of the people, why not leave it all to him and save the farce of troubling the incompetent peo ple at all?

THREE QUOTATIONS EXPLAIN THE PLOT. nnHE Portland Oregonian, paper of the assembly idea, A is making strenuous efforts to secure the support of the anti-assembly forces for the assembly candidate for governor. Bowerman 's election will then be hailed as an assembly triumph, and to accomplish it Mr. Bowerman is ready to promise almost any old thing. Yet the true object of Bowerman's candidacy is told in three quotations from the Oregonian, one of them before and the other after the primary. "Republicans of Oregon intend to repudiate State ment One. They intend to suggest in assembly or con vention candidates for the primary, and WILL PUT THE KNIFE INTO EAOH AND AIL WHO DECLARE FOR STATEMENT ONE." "A candid review of the results of the m-imurics ins- tifies the conclusion that the voters have not accepted nor rejected the principle of the assembly." "The old guard never surrenders. Tt does not die, either. It waits until the foe has fallen asleep and GRABS THE FRUITS OF HIS VICTORY." That is what the old guard of pie-eating assembly pol iticians are striving to do now lull tho peoplo to 'sleep with cries of harmony, so they may grab tho fruits of the anti-assembly victory at the primaries, through the elec tion of Bowerman.
