An independent newspaper
must support a few Democrats
each election year to be strictly
independent. If it supported
Republicans) oil the time, it would
not be independent. Monitor.

But why connnt the mast to a
few Democrats? Why not take
dr the shadow of thy protect
intr (independent) wing, the
Socialist, the Proh!, and the anti-

newspaper smile alike upon the
"just and the unjust?" May not
a newspaper advocate the prinei
pies of Socialism, or Republican
ism, or Democracy and retain its
iudependence? No need to bow
to the leader of any party.

WJien the Federal Reserve Act was passed by
contrress there were 79 votes airainst it, in the
House; 79 members who favored the big1 business
interests against the masses. These 79 "voted
against progress, against financial safety, against
relief from Wall Street's domination of. the Na
tion's credits; and voted for a continuance of
artificial panics, for a monopoly of credit b a few
and for political and financial reaction along the
most vicious lines." One of them was Willis C.

The result of the Maine election seems to be
encouraging to all parties. Each can figure out
an endorsement it all depends on who is doing
the figuring. The prohibition question has been
an issue in every state election in Maine for ten
years, the Democratic candidates being generally
"wet'.' and the Republican candidates generally
"dry.'' How it affected the vote this year has not
been disclosed, but presumably not as much as in
former years for Maine has evidently concluded
to accept prohibition for all time to come. t
The selection of Poindexter of Washington was
a great victory for the Progressive element of the
Republican party. Johnson whipped the "old
crowd'' in California. Now Oregon should get
busy and discard a few of its old standpatters.
even if it became necessary to temporarily elect a
few Democrats. Certainly Oregon can be as
progressive as its neighbors, and a good place to
start the cleaning is in the first congressional
district.

A few can, many cannot, the News doesn t, but
the Monitor was not discussing principles; it was
referring to candidates. If the News infers that
by advocating the principles of any political party,
you must accept all its candidates and urge their
election, it will be a question for debate and the
Monitor will take a hand.
