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.- '

Glen took the solo parts, as he will In
the tour over the state, and the work

of teh highest grade. . They have been
