OEEOON LEAI8 THE WAY.
Oregon people are determined to try
popular governments Kvery election
in the past five years proven thia. Kv
ery time the ballon are counted the
majority for popular government grown
greater. The old duyn, the days of
partisan appeal, of stacked conventions
and of systematic corruption of lgis
laturei, has passed away, and thero is
little likelihood of tbelr return.
Direct primaries, popular election of
senators, initiative and referendum have
come to slay. Each iWtton the peo
ple increase their authority. This year
they force a republican lugiHlutnre to'
elct a democrat ar senator, and adopt
the recall to punUh official, who be
tray public trust. They pnas a law by
a tremeudous majority declaring it Uir
will of the people that every legislator
be forced, to vote for. the popular choice
for senator, and though it is only for
-moral effect, it indicates public opiit.
ion. They aluo pans a law limiting cam
paiga expenses, to curtail corporation
dictation.
Is popular government a fuiluref Not
wbe.ro it has been thoroughly-tried. Tt
is not a failure iu Switzerland, where
the iuitiative, referendum and recall
are used to govern nearly 4,000,000 poo
"pie, where officials are simply figure
heads to carry out the will of the peo
pie. It is not a failure in New Zealand,
not a failure in Australia.
Ia any of these countries even in
the monarchies of Europe, the "com
mou people" have more Tights than they
have under representative government
In America, where municipal, state and
federal government has been prostitut
ed for the benefit of big business iu
terests and the rights of man bartered
away for the pecuniary advantage of
corporation, who fatten upon illicit
earnings through the tariff, through
stealing the public domain, through a
thousand channels that divert the earn
ings and property of flio many to ere
ate a few multi-millionaires.
Oregon -is the pioneer of the Mitten
in popular government. She "flien with
her own wings" nnd leads the way to
the overthrow of corporate control that
through representative government hue
seized possesion of the resource of the
nation.
NONE SO BLIND AS THOSB WHO
WILL NOT SEE.
i . Hen ut or Fulton is lending a lit t It
band of machine politician!, wIioho
heads ure so thick that a crowbar must
be used to get an idea into them, iu a
futile sud vain effort to sweep back
the ocean of popular government that
is overwhelming (hem,
One would thiuh that Heuator Fulton
would have learned something from hit
own defi'Ht in the primaries, and by
the smashing by the people of politi
cal machines, but the rcpublii-nn con
-yeotlon In Portland, held afterward
and controlled by him, proceeded to
defy popular rule and defeated the re
publican candidate hv turning down
Statement No. 1.
Neither the buzz-snws of primary am;
election have opened Mr. Fulton s ey
to the handwriting on the wall, and hr
is. out with a statement ndvimug legis
latere to defy public sentiment, to ig
nore the people, to repudiate the sol
omn pledges upon which they were elect
ed, In order to elect a partisan candi
date,- presumably himself, to the sen
ate. Mr. Fulton says:
."I regret very much the defeat
Mr. Cake. I am not going to believe,
however, that a republican Icgmlaturr
will elect a democrat to the United
States senate until 1 witnma the actual
faxt.
11 T am on record as conteuding when
he direct primary law was adopted
that the people did not understand tha
under any ctrcumstanm a republican
legislature would be railed upon to el
a democratic senator, or tliev novo
Would have adopted the law. In nn
judguieut, in selecting a senator and
taking the oath of office to support
the Couetitution of the rutted States
if the legislator selects anyone for th
senate who in his judgment does n.ii
represent the principles and policies-
that are for the het interest of tli
people, he violates his oath.
"Hence t say the republ can leginla
ture will not elect democratic senalorw,
The people are not so denne am Mr.
Fulton is, or pretends to be. Thev knew
just what the direct primary law pro
vided. They wanted ft democrat elected
to the senate by the republican tegixla
ture, nod voted for it, understanding
the situation thoroughly. Where
publicans refused to promise to vote
as the people demanded, as they did in
Tacksou countv, democrat were elected
in their (duces, ho that a democrat
Would be sent to represent Oregon, and
a democrat will succeed Mr. Fulton,
The party cry is always the refuge
of the politician, a last hope to bolster
up a failure, sud to rally suppoit from
the unthinking and prejudiced for a re
TntdUted individuality. In this ease
Mr. Fultou ainly hopes to Nrainpedr
the legislature from the Hecepted choice
of the whole people ut the rejected of
his own party.

by the people -nt the election lust Mon
day will go Into effect as soon as Un
vote thereon cau be canvassed and the
result proclaimed by the governor. This
will probably be three weeks yet, as
some of the county clerks are always
slow iu sending lu returns. Most of the
amendments and initiative, measure-

though thev will be iu full force
soon as the proclamation has been is
sued, i . ; ' , '
- Recall Effective at Once.
The ; recall amendment is self-emeu-tory
and will be effective at once. It
provides that 25 per cent of the voters
of an election may compel an officer
to - stand for re election ut a special
election to be held within iiO days
for which election other candidates may
be nominated. Tho reasons for the' re
call nnd the defenso of tho officer may
be printed upon the sample ballots hi
not to exceed 200 words each. No pro
vision is made as to the manner in
which nominations shall be made for the
pecial election. Recall petitions can
not be filed until nn officer has occu
pied his position six months, or. in the
case of a member of the legislature,
until the legislature hus been iu session
five days.
No More June Elections.
The act instructing members of the
tegiHlaturn to vote for the people
choice for senator will, of course, never
he effective as an imperative law. hut
as a moral influence upon the legisla
ture its significance will be determined
next January,
The nmendment changing tho time of
holding elections from June to Novem
her will take effect in 1010.
If the ameudment has passed increas
iug the number of supreme judges from
three to five, though it now aeems im
probable, there will be two judges te
elect iu the November election this year,
for il is so provided in the amendment.
Nominations muat be by convention, ns
sembly of electors or by petition.
If both fishery bills have been adopt
ed, each will stand, except that if there
be any conflicting provisions of the ac
receiving the largest affirmative votr
will prevail.
