"To those who voted for me from choice I feel peculiarly grateful, and to thowe who voted for me because you, under an express bu.t voluntary pledge to vntn for the people's choice. I want to say to you that you have shown a magnlflcenexampte of deter mination to obey the people's will without regard to party ties. Oregon leads the way In legislation to secure the right which their representatives in conjtress have denied them. ' It can not be said the law under which I was elected Is either republican or a dem ocratic measure. It was adopted by the people In the state with an over whelming republican majority.' It has come to stay, as I will stand shoulder to shoulder In the senate with the men.of all parties for carrying out the broader policies which the president has stood for, and that go to make for a stronger nation and a richer state. I think you remember, while Oregon was 'represented In the senate by one republican and one democrat, the larg est appropriation ever secured at any one time was made for the Improve ment of the Columbia river. Notwith standing the whole delegation In con gress Is republican now, Oregon Is not receiving arty appropriation for the Improvement of rivers and harbors. I promise my best efforts to assist In the Improvement of waterways In Oregon. "I agree with the democrats and the republicans alike, who feel there should be a revision of the tariff. It would be Improper for me at this time to make an extended address.
