OLIVER, Ageat 4 . COMMUNICATION. La Grande, Dee. 7. (To the Editor.) The Oregonlan of Portland, placed statement No. 1 republican members of the next legislature In a peculiar position, by taking the ground that In giving a pledge to the people, regard ing the election of a United Stater senator, they were practically violat ing the constitution, and that on tak ing an oath as such, member of the. legislature to support the constitution, they cannot prorced to the election ot i democrat without breaking their oath. . Taking Into consideration the fact that the people of Oregon unques tlonably gave a majority to George E. Chamberlain for United States sena 'or, and that republicans helped bring about this condition of affairs, It seems to the writer that, the rejtub lican aforesaid, should be made to "take their medicine." Perhaps they are sick of this bargain, but they should have made no bargain, and the only" way to forever knock out state ment No. 1 Is for them to get busy and elect the democrat formally, for whom they never should have voted last June. The writer Is a republican, first, last and all the time; does not desire to see a democrat go f.o the United States senate from a state that gave Mr. Taft so handsome a majority, but thinks the only way to avoid a recur rence of so odious a condition Is to let "Non-Partlson George" sit In. the senate' as a useless member for the next six years. Granting the Oregonlan'a position In regard to the violation, of their oath by the republicans who will vote for Chamberlain, It will be looked on in no more serious , a light than as n "mistake," and as they have made one "mistake," they had best finish the business and learn something by their blunder.- ' A. H. SEVERSON. University Club Popular. Eugene, 6re.,vDec. . The uni versity of .Oregon Glee and Mandolin ctybs appeared last night In the Eu gene theater before the largest crowd that ever asesmbled In the Eugene playhouse.

Glen took the solo parts, as he will In the tour over the state, and the work of the clubs and the stunt men was of teh highest grade. . They have been called on for another Eugene concert after the Christmas touT, NO ONE HESITATES OVER OUR CANDY.
