TI1E purity of election law limits campaign expenses in Oregon notwithstanding which .Hen Selling's barrel is on tap, violating the spirit, if not the letter, of the law. Tho charge has frequently been made that Jonathan Bourne secured his seat in tlio senate by his liberal cam paign expenditures. However that might have been in the'nast, it is certainly not true this year. Yon will see Jonathan .Bourne's picture in no uewspaper as you see the linaments of the noble seller of pants, unless it is run gratis you will see none of those fulsome articles of self praise paid for at so much per line, as you see of the great Selling, unless the publisher prints it for principle, instead of for.coin. for Senator Bourne is setting the good example of letting the people do their own choosing and living up to the law. No man has been more abused or misrepresented dur ing the past six years in Oregon than Jonathan Bourne, lie has been belittled, scoffed at, ridiculed, his every act distorted and discolored. He has never received credit in the metropolitan press for having accomplished a thing. The reason was because he was the foremost defender of the Oregon system and thereby reaped the wrath of the ring politicians and their newspaper organs. Senator Bourne has announced that he will not come back to Oregon to make the campaign, but remain at the post of duty, that he will spend no money and make no appeals in the press or at the hustings, and that his sole effort will bo a statement to the voters in the state publicity pamphlet, consisting of four pages at $100 a page. In a letter to a newspaper the senator describes how he will present his claim to the state. He says in part: "1 insist that the people of Oregon are now qu trial, not 1; that I have kept every pledgo I made in my first campaign: that I have taken a leading part in the fight for the retention in Oregon ot the 'Oregon, system and tor the extension of these laws in other states; that instead of going back to my state as soon as congress adjourns I have remained at the national capital working at my official duties in the interest of the nation and my state; that I have secured the best connnitteo assignments ever hold by an Oregon senater: that in conjunction with other members of the delegation I have secured for Oregon the largest appropriations she has ever had, and this without sacrificing any of the principles upon which I was elected; that I originated the presidential primary idea, and se cured its adoption in Oregon, since which time it has been copied in several states and is now the chief issue in the national campaign. 1 believe that inside of ten years every state will adopt this principle and thereby destroy the possibility of any president renominating himself or selecting his successor through patronage. "By reason of the work thus outlined, I have more than repaid my obligation to the people of Oregon, and they now owe me more than I owe them; In view of my record and my positioij in the fight for popular govern ment my defeat for renomination would be heralded through the country as a victory for the opponents of popular government. I therefore insist that the people of Oregon, rather than myself, are now on trial, and it is up to tnem to demonstrate by their votes whether they are intelligent enough to recognize and appreciative 1.

J. A. WESTERLUND. A FAITHFUL PUBLIC SERVANT. A SHORT time ago some old lint; democrats attempted to read Governor AVest out of the democratic party, because he appointed Ben AV Olcott, a republican, to tile office of secretarv of state. In making the appointment Governor West stated that' lie was actuated by the principle that good business was - 1 i r 1 A 1 I 1 j - - guuu polities. .iur. uicoic was not a politician, lie was, an oxpert public accountant, with a banker's training in addition. ' Olcott s administration of. the office has been marked by attention to detail, by economy,. by courtesy and In efficiency. He has straightened out the demoralization prevailing through the illness of his predecessor, put the office in order and proved a, veritable watch-dog of state funds. The secretary of state disburses $2,500,000 of tho tax payers' money annually. Mr. Olcott has proved himself a trustworthy guardian, and if the people appreciate good service in a public official, rather than politics, will be renominated and elected.
