Should Elect Selling
A vital Issue Is involved in the
election of United States Senator
next Tuosdny. It is that of the
preservation of the direct pri-
mnry lnw. This is the real is-
sue, and on it the voters should
... ...... o
determine their vote for Sonntor.
Senator Hourne was defeated
for ronomination fairly and
squarely in the primary election
last April by Hen Selling. Three
days following that election,
Hourne telegraphed Selling, con
gratulating him on his nomina
tion and pledging his hearty sup-
IorU Subsequently, Hourne!
sought the indorsement and nom
ination of the Progressive state
convention. Again lie was re
jected by an assembly of electors
representing the sovereign peo
ple. As a final resort Hourne
caused petitions to be circulated
nominating him as an iiulopenu
eni candidate, mosi ot the Big-
natures to his petitions were ob -

nrimnry nominee lor senator.
The issue is absolutely plain and
cannot be misrepresented.
A vote for Bourne is u vote for
the repudiation of the direct pri
mary law.
A vote for Selling is a vote for
the preservation of the direct
primary law.
Mr. Selling believes in the di
rect nrimnry and all other laws
that constitute the Oregon sys
tern. Either as a member of the
State Legislature or as n private
citizen. Mr. Selling for 1G years
labored for progressive legisla
tion in this state. He assisted
in the enactment oftho direct
nrimnrv. initiative and refercn
dum, recall and the Presidential
preference primary law. He be
ieves in them firmly. His rec
ord as n true progressive and
the friend of the common people
has been consistent at nil times.
His record is known to every
voter in tho state and he is to be
entmsted with tho rcsponsibih
ties of tho more important office
he now seeks. Helieving the
high cost of living is due largely
to tho tariff. Mr. Selling is plea
sed, if clecied. to work for nn
immedinto rovision of tho tariff
downward. Ho promises to sec
uro for Oregon its full sharo of
appropriations for river nnd har
bor improvements and other pub
lic needs, together with the
stato's long over-duo sharo of
the Reclamation fund.
Friends of the Oregon system
owo it to themselves and the
preservation of tho direct prima
ry to vote for Ren Selling. A
vote for his opponent, Bourne, is
n vote in favor pf tho repudia
tion of thnt lnw.
Mr. Voter: Bear this in mind
when you go to tho polls Tues
day, November 5.
A few. reasons why Ben Selling
Bhould bo elected United States
Senator:
Ho believes in tho direct pri
mary law.
Is a staunch supporter of the
Oregon system.
Hus lived in Oregon for 50
years and is intimately acquaint
ed with the needs of the state.
Is pledged to an immediato re
vision of the tariff downward.
Stands for the common people
as against the Standard Oil and
other corporate interests.
Is pledged to secure for Ore
gon several millions of its long
overdue share of the Reclamation
fund.
Some of the many reasons that
Senator Bourne should not bo re
elected: He has repudiated the direct
primary law.
Is a bolting independent can
didate. Is not a bona fide resident of
REMEMBER THIS-
Taft cannot be elected,
Roosevelt can be elected.
Wilson might be elected if the choice of a President was taken
from the people and thrown into Congress.
The election of Wilson means tampering with the incomes of
the business man, the wage-earner and the farmer.
It is up to every American to defend his income, upon which
always depends bis outgo.
THE ONLY WAY FOR THE AMER
ICAN VOTER TO DEFEND HIS IN
COME IS TO PREVENT THE ELEC
TION OF WILSON BY VpTING FOR
ROOSEVELT and JOHNSON

Hold a Reception
The members of the Christian
church gathered at their church
home on East New York street
Wednesday evening, and gave a
rousing reception to the new
members who united with thnt
congregation during the scries
of meetings which have been
held there the nnst three weeks.
There were 28 additions to the
church, and 2-1 of them were
present at the reception. The
event was a sort of compound ar

were to bo entertained by the
losers, and, as usual in such con
tests, the ladies were the win
ncrs. The men took this occn
sion to give the entertainment to
their fair eonnucrers. It is
fair sample, too, of what may bo
expected when the ladies enter
politics, for a time at least. The
men induced their wives ant
daughters and sweethearts to
bring the cakes, sandwiches,
picKics, coitcc, and other re
freshments, nnd after a very in
teresting program given by tho
Indies, some of the most enter
prising of them served all com'
crs, and there wero about 400 of
them, to nil they wished to cat
thus did the men entertain the
winners. A most happy time
was enjoyed by all, and tho
church nnd Sundny School feel
greatly encouraged with the out-
como of tho meeting and the
contest. Tho membership of tho
school hns almost doubled within
the past year, and tho member
ship of the church has increased
over DO per cent, lhe special
meetings have been held by tho
pastor, he dropping his regulnr
work as a carpenter for tho time
nnd devoting his entire timo to
this work.
Hallowe'en Parties
Mrs. C. II. Boyd entertained
the Jolly Stecn club in n delight
fui manor at a Hallowe'en party
Wednesday evening. Characters
typ cal of the Hallowe'en season
wero represented in a humorous
and ingenious way, and the resi
dence was decorated in an appro-
mate and unique manner. Mrs.
Svens' costume was very charm
ing: Mrs. Muck and Mrs. Vin
cent represented twin pumpkins,
and Dr. Vincent represented a
negro preacher and sang a negro
song that elicitd much laughtbr
and applause. Mr. Uorsmnn as
a clown was "killing." Mrs.
Uerrie represnted a witch. Mrs.
Ingledue in white with silver
stars represented Dawn. Mrs.
Horsman in black spangled with
moon and stars was a charming
Wight. Mr. uerrie was a typi
m ar - i
cai larmer. Mrs. liennam wore
a charming costume. A delicious
lunch of apple pie and whipped
cream, cheese and coffee wns
secved. Grape juice wns served
during the evening. It was an
evening of fun long to be remem
bered by those fortunate, enough
to belong to that club.
Mrs.A.W. Marklo entertained
the members of the Debonair
club and their husbands at a
Hallowe en party last evening.

owe en designs nnd decorations.
A number of the guests were
arrayed in costume. Mrs. Evens,

Quite the hit of the evening was
Prof. Boyd and Mr. Derrie as
the summer sciuashes. Thev
elicited much merriment. Mrs.
Boyd, a Japanese high caste
lady, was very charming. Mrs.
Gammel was a demure little Pri
cilla. Mrs. Gray as the Gipsy
Queen was very fine. Mrs. Der
rie's characterization of a witch
was very good, indeed. Sand
wiches, salads, pumpkin pie and
cider were served. The game of

in.

SINGLE TAX IS OPPOSED
8elTlng Against Any Measure Doing
Away With Individual Ownership
Of course, Hen Selling, progressive
Ilupuhllcaii nominee for United States
Senator, la being opposed by W. S,
U'lton, A. 1). Crldge, II. O. Wagnon
nnd other advocates of Hlnglo tux.
Hut tho rcnfitrason la not difficult to
ascertain. In tho primary campaign
Mr. Soiling emtio out fearlessly
against Mr, U'lteu'H pet tux measure.
What U more, Mr. Helling Is still
against single tax mid any other
measure that proposes to do away
with tho right of Individual ownership
of laud. Mr. Selling announced his
unqualified opposition to sluglu tux
at thu beginning of tho prlmury onm
pulgn. ills opuonontH In that contest
romnlned slluut on this question, Ills
opponents In the pending campaign
nre equally nllent. Thu vuterH of the
statu huvu a right to know where ami
dhtutes for United States Senator
stand on this Issue which ho vitally
concerns tho homeowner. Aru Mr.
Soiling's opponents afraid to take the
peoplu Into their couthlonceT
Selling's Position Similar to Dorah's
In refusing to leave the Itepubllcau
party, Hen Helling, progressive Ite
publican nomlneo for United States
Suuutur, Iiiih taken the same position
as Senator Iloruh, Ooveruor Deneeu,
Governor lludley and other loading
progressives of tho country. With
them he believe thnt the reforms
demunded by tho people can best be
accomplished within the Itepublloun
party the party of performance. And
In Inking this stand ho has not com
promised his progrusslvenesa one
whit. Does nny one, even the most
rnhld so-culled progressive, question
thu proKruBslvuuosa of Senator Horuh?
Performance Only Reliable Test
Performance, ruthor than promise.
Is tho only rolluble test of the con
sistency of any man with relation to
tho ctiusu ho udvocatou. Measured by
this test, Hen Selling, progressive Re
publican nomlneo for United Stutos
Senator, qualified years ago us u con
sistent progressive. Ah u member of
tho Oregon Legislature, Mr. Selling
not only advocated but assisted lu the
enactment of the following mensures
of popular legislation: Australian
ballot law, dlreot prlmury law, initia
tive and referendum, recall uud Presi
dential preferenco primary law.
If you doubt that lien Selling, pro
gressive Itepubllcau nomlneo for Unit
ed States" Senator, was not a pioneer
In tho progressive cause, consult his
record. It begun 10 years ugo.
