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.
