In glvlug hla unqualified Indorse ment of the cnmlldncy of Uen Selling, progressive Republican nominee for United States Senator,' Judge Stephen A. Lowell, an opponent of Mr. Selling In tha primary election, eald recently: "Senutor Belling la the regular con atltuted nominee of the party. He baa been a burden bearer In tha paat poli tical content and la entitled, under all rulea of the game, to hla reward. Ha la a progreaalve Republican, not only today, but was audi when It took aome courage to occupy advanced ground. He la a substantial business mun, with a home and Interests In the statu, 'hy ahould any honest man who bellnvoa in f til r play In politics, aa well aa In every day Affaire, refuse to support hla candidacy. I nm with him to tho end and he ought to win by 10,000 plurality in November." Persistent Advocate of Popular Rights Editor Dnvey, of the Harney County News, anys ot the progressive record of lien Selling, progressive Republican nominee for United Stutea Senator: "Hen Selling waa an earnest and persistent advocate of popular rights t and privileges when the men who are now loading the noisy band of Roose velt shouters were among the moat hidebound standpatters, some ot them going so fur aa openly to refuse aa members ot the Legislature to vote tor the BUCcesBful candidate of their own party for United States Senator, Just to emphasize their opposition to tbe popular system ot election." Having to his credit a record of 16 years of active endeavor In the pro gressive cause, friends ot popular gov ernment In this Btute should have no hesitancy lt supporting Sen Selling for United States Senator. There Is one thing about Ben Sel ling'! progresBlveness it waa not born yesterday. He baa always been a progressive and aa the Republican nominee for Senator is entitled to tht vote of every progressive. SELLIija WARMLY RECEIVED MM With Much Encaursuement oru flicent Trip Through Oregon 1'iirlirf tho Irint ti n dtiye, let Pel ll"K. roi:reiHlv Republican nominee for I'ullod o Ui lea Heiiator, has visited Southwestern Oregon and various counties In Kimlern Oregon. On Hume trips be met with much enrouriiga- mu( In hla rundhlary for (ho Honnlur hill. On these trips Mr. Helling did not eneay any eiell binding oratory, but plainly told the voters what they could expect of him aa a public aerv ant If elected, He refera to hla past performances aa consistent progres sive aa a guarantee thai he will "make good" on all promleea aa Hulled States Senator. Judge Stephen A. Lowell, on of Mr. Selling's opponents for tha nomination In (he primary election, la loyally supporting tha Republican nominee. Judge Lowell accompanied Mr. Helling through aome aectlona of ICiiktern Oregon and experts during the mouth of October to visit eevcrnt other rouutlei In behalf of Mr. Sel lings candidacy. . Editor Oavey Now Favors Selling. Tile Harney County News opposed lien Helling, progressive Republican nonhiee for United States Senator, In the primary election, but Is now loyally supporting the Cortland man. In a recent Issue, Kdltor Huvcy bad the fallowing to say regarding tha pro;;re!.nlvenes of Mr. Helling: "No man In Oregon or the United H'uieu haa a better title to the namti r.;;;r -sulve- than Hen Helling. In every movement for popular legisla tion and for enlarging the reserve power of tho miHKex, Mr. Belling has been an Influential factor, through all the times and HtniKi;les when nut h ailvoci tea were lii the minority and wcro the targets of bitter ubufe." Selling a Pioneer Progressive' lYoKrevnlve Is as progressive does. This In junt ns true as It Is concise. It Is particularly applicable to the t'eualorliil content In this state. The record of ',en Sidling. prorrlve Re publican nominee) for the United S' ;a ; i k Senate, during his service of ID years III the Oregon Leglalature, irrefutnbl stiiinpa him as a pioneer lu the progrerslve cause. Ho was fi n -moi:t III tho ranks of (hoiie who cre not only advocating hut writing upon the statute books of the state progressive measures when many of the strong dunged so-called progres sives of today were Just ns active in defending machine rule and opposing very ineiiBiire of popular legislation. SINGLE TAX IS OPPOSED Selling Against Any Measure Doing Away With Individual Ownership Of course, lien Selling, progressive Republican nominee for United States Senator, Is being opposed by W. S. U'Ren, A. D. Crldge, 11. U. Wngnon and oilier advocates of single tux. but the real reason is not difficult to ascertain. In the primary cniupalgu Mr. Selling came out fearlessly awltist Mr. U'Ken'a pet tax measure. What Is more, Mr. Selling Is still 0:tnltiKt single tux mid any other measure that proposes to do owny with the right of Individual ownership of land. Mr. Selling announced bis unqualified opposition to slii(;le tux at the beginning of the primary cum pntgn. Hla opponents In that contest remained silent on this question. His opponents In the pending campaign are equally silent. The voters of the atute have a right to know where can didates for United States Senator Btand on this Issue which so vitally concerns the homeowner. Are Mr. Selling's opponents afraid to take tbe people Into their confidence? Selling' Position Similar to Borah's In refusing to leave the Republican party, Den Selling, progressive Re publican nominee for United Status Senator, has taken the same position as Senator Iloruh, Governor Deneen, Governor llndley and other lending progressives of the country, With them he btllevB that the refornH demanded by the poople can best be accomplished Within the Republican party the party of performance. And In taking this Btand he has not com promised his progrcsslveness one whit. Doe any one, even the most rabid so-called progressive, question the progresslvetiess of Senator Doruh! Performance Only Reliable Test Performance, rather than promise, I the only reliable test ot the con sistency of any man with relation to the cause he advocates. Measured by thla test, Ben Selling, progressive Re publican nominee for United States Senator, qualified years ago as a con sistent progressive. Aa a member of the Oregon Legislature, Mr. Soiling not only advocated but assisted in tho enactment ot the following measures of popular legislation: Australian ballot law, direct primary law, initia tive and referendum, recall and Presi dential preference primary law, It you doubt that Ben Selling, pro gressive Republican nominee for Unit ed States Senator, was not a pioneer In the progressive cause, consult his record.
