Coroner...- St. Heiens AN UPRIGHT MAN Senator T. B Kay. of Marion County did not sign Statement No. 1, and does sot believe in that method of electing United States Senator. Yet Mr. Kay will rote for Chamberlain. Unlike th majority of opponents of the Statement he believe the people should rule an that, when they have declared in favor of liny proposition it is the duty of the Legislature to carry out their wishes He notes the fact that the people hare adopted by a large majority an act in ttrueting the Legislature to vote for the people's cb ice, and, U'lieving that he is servant of the peopl-, he says "the only proper thing to do now it fur the Legislature to carry out the instruction. That would eem to be the plain deduc tion, and the only one to be ma le by any honest man. Vet there are many so blinded by the love of psiwer and hope of political preferment that they rave aguinst men like Senator Kay an 1 swear that lie has forsaken the party. Mr Kay s statement t!l tring down upon bis head the wrath of the factkinists in tile Republican party, and probably thev will defeat his aspirations to be ch sen as President of the Senate; but that will not cau.se hiiu to deviate a hair's breadth from what he believe his duty. He U a plain, blunt man, and neither blandishments, threats, nor bribe will have an; effect upon his course, and we are very much mi-taken if the peoplt whom he serves do not remember Mr Kay and call him to a higher position, where his ability, honesty aud integrity will be of great service to the Slate, Senator Kav's views are so clear and forcible that we herewith preient them in fall: Does Not Belies in Stslemeot "While I do not believe in the princi ple of Statement No. 1, and ia the pri maries voted for those l-wgialauve candi dates who took the Republican votes' choice pledge, yet I believt the majority should rule, and, since Chamberlain ha defeated a fair representative of the Re publican party and, further, since the people have adopted by a large majority an act instructing the Legihlalure to vote for the people's choice, I believe that the only proper thing to do now is for the legislature to carry out the in struction. I understand, of course, that the instruction (row the people is not legally binding and that the Legislature, under the constitution, is free-to elect someone else, yet 1 believe the vole of the people is morally binding upun the Legislature. Either Chamberlain or Deadlock "If the Legislature should succeed in defeating Chamberlain I do not see what they could do then. They can't elect Cake, became he made Ids fight on Statement No. 1. and In cannot do otherwise now than advocate Chamber-; Iain's election. Neither can they elect j Fulton for he repeatedly declared that unless he received the popular indorse ment he Would not nic before the Legislature. In view of tin-fee facts, if the Leg'slatuie Hhotild turn Clinmbi-r-lain down it is practically certain that the members would be unable to agree upon any one elt-e, and the result would be deadlock. This would be to the detriment of the State at large and dit pUaiing to the people, who denire to avoid a i-itu-ation of this kind. GJ-a Up Own Candidacy "Am to my own candidacy for Presi dent of the Senate while I thought of running and had encouragement which gave me a fair proipect of winnirg, yet I consider my first duty at a member Of tlit legislature la to the ptouls, and ihv nersonnt am' ',. us must W sec ondary eontd.'ia'i.'ii. Therefore I shall not shirk m di:i s, as I see Iheiu. in carrying "lit tin' people's wishes, in order t ecin e vi;ci " I irhliitelf. The only thing th . - o m-ciipying the position at lr-tlv t -f I lie Senate la the honor, ami .1 .i u m il sacrillea honor in order to g,-t t h .l Mter not have it. "While I ih iii i lie legislature shorld elect Ch iiiibeit.iiu. vet 1 do not believe the Legislature s ioiild be organised in the interests of the leui.erstie parly. Reaibika Skswlsl Onuin Seaal The Kepiihlicaii member of the Sen ate, regardless of whether they will vote for Chamberlain or not, should orKnie the Senate, thereby aiding the enact ment of gxl legislation in lite interests f the State, Hy so doing the prestige of the Kcpiihliean partr in this slate can be regained. I nlena uufonreeu con ditions rie of such importance ai to make me change, my miiiil, I sliatl vote for Chamberlain lor Senator, notwiih t'.aiiding (was not a signer of Statement No. 1 " Senator Smith said that lie would mil support Kay (or President of the Senate unless Kay would pledge himself not to vote for Chamltertain. This, as shown by Kay's statement, will not, of course, be done . The l'evic would lilggcst that if I'ro Flag would have run a few such articles in regard to the saloon III St. Helens, previous to the election, a ap peared in the lant issue of the Mist the result might javsaibly have been a little litlereui wiirn lite votes were rounteu in Coioii precinct Ksinier Review. Also and likewise it dro. Fry. a pro- aoum-ed prohibitionist, would cut out five a!oon ads be is now running in the Review, it would certainly help some.
