THE OLD Bfc FOR IT
They Wanted a Special Ses
sion Very Bad.
NOT A POLITICAL FUTURE
Unless .Given a Chan'ce'to Make a
New Record,
Front all the evidence ul homo m
far the tjltl Portlnrid machine crowd
want n special session and want it
bad. They have absolutely no politi
cal future unless tltoy can act a
chance to make some tinnonranuo of
favoring retrenchment and reforms.
They wrote a reform platform and
pretended to give the people a new
deal. They never kept a single pledge
of the platform and prevented a now
dealasfaras possible. That (a their
record and they cannot escape from
It. The fight between tho pcoplo in
he Republican party who were sin
cere In their pledges of reform and
the gang who were false to their
pledges of a now deal Is on just as hot
as It was last winter.
Portland wants a charter bill that
will bo worth a million dollars to the
gang. They will spend a hundred
thousand dollars to Ret It. They also
vant to rc-apportlon the state. They
would promise all the otllcca for the
next ten years to members who will
stand in'. They arc bringing all sorts
of influences to bear to get an extra
session. All their howling of economy
in the only paper at Portland is to
this end. The gang that want to steal
and rob tho state want It, but
tho peoplo do not want It. The
people want nothing but a chance to
get at these fellows in tho next cam
paign. They will make short work of
every one who comes before them.
They are bringing all the pressure
possible to bear on the governor to
force him to call a session. They are
lost without It. They have tho mer
cenary element with them. It is a
life and death struggle of the old
machine that has held up tho pcoplo
of Oregon with a highly organized ex
travagant olllclallsm since twenty
years
OKEGONIAN FOIt IT.
Walter Lyon of the Oregonlan Is
working up sentiment for the special
session and is In close touch with
Willis Dunnlway, nephew of Harvey
Scott, who Is the governor's private
ccretary. Lyon's Item today reads:
Governor Lord has not yet Inti
mated whether ho will or will not
call an extra session of tho legisla
ture. With tho assurance that his
recommendations to the last legisla
ture would be carried out, It Is quite
probablo ho would acquiesce in tho
demand for a relief session. State
officials, generally are non-committal
on the question of an extra session.
Ono olllclal's Jocular reply when asked
If he deemed It wise to convene tho
legislature In extra session was: "Do
you suppose we would favor having
our salaries and fees paraded before
the public?"
Tho Oregonlan says editorially.
No man was more responsible for
tho failure of measures In the last
legislature to relievo the peoplo than
Governor Lord. He, out of enmity or
resentment against Senator Dolph,
because, as he supposed, Dolph had
! not pressed him for a placo on the
federal bench, assisted tho combine
I that "held up" the legislature. The
