JONATHAN BOURNE, JR. i ' if' Republican Candidate for United States Senator Champion of Statement One , Jonathan Bourne, Jr., candidate before the Republican primaries for the nomination of United States Senator in Congress, for the long term commencing March 4, 1907, was born In New Bedford, Mass., February 23, 1855; was a member of the class of 1877 at Harvard University; came to Portland May 16, 1878; was a Republican mem ber of the Oregon Legislature In the session of 1885 and the extra session of 1880; was one of Oregon's delegates to the Republican Na tional Convention of 1888 and Oregon's member of the Republican Na tional Committee from 1888 to 1892,, and a delegate to the Republican National Convention of 1892; and was elected as a Mitchell Republi can to the Oregon Legislature in 1896. Mr. Bourne has been more prominently Identified with the devel opment of the mineral resources of Oregon than any other man In the State, having expended in' the last 20 years' over $100,000 of his own money in the acquisition and development of Oregon mines. While Mr. Bourne has had his residence and main office at Port land since 1878, he has had another office at New Bedford, Mass., and has carried on the business of his father's estate since 1889, which makes him familiar with many of the large Interests and leading men in the Bast. These qualifications, In conjunction with his tremendous energy, originality, executive ability and experience In business and political affairs pre-eminently qualify him for making an able and in fluential Senator for the State of Oregon. Mr. Bourne has always favored extending; the direct power of the peonle over their government as far as possible. He was one of the leading Spirits In the Initiative and Referendum movement from 1896 until it was approved by the voters at the June election In 1902. In 1904 he was a member' of the executive committee of the Direct Primary Nominations League, and holds the same position with the People's Power League at this time. In all these movements he has been one of the few to guarantee the necessary expenses of preparing and proposing their measures to the people. He says that the' choice of United States Senator should be by direct vote of the people, and that the Legislature should be compelled to elect the man the people select. To accomplish this result, he Is championing Statement No. 1, of the primary elections law as the only method by which public opinion may be crystallzed and made effective upon the Legislature. In his petition for nomination he says: IF I AM NOMINATED AND ELECTED I WILL, DURING MY TERM OF OFFICE, FAVOR REPUBLICAN POLITICS.

The candidate of the O. W. P. Co., Geo. O. Brownell, is traveling over the county, abusing and belittling the citizens ot Oregon City and blaming them because there is no electric road through the southern end "of the county. At least, that was his atti tude at Molalla. My understanding at the time was that the people of Oregon City were perfectly willing that the counoil should grant a right-of-way on the back street near the river, but objected to allowing them to absolutely monopolize Main street. However it seems somewhat inconsistent for Jone who pretends to be such a ahampion of the referendum prinoiple to object to the decision of this question by this very principle, aswas done last fall. However, do one expects consistency from George O. Even poor Jim Campbell, who has served him faithfully for lo I those many years! comes in for hig share of abuse because he at last shows indications of having a mind of hig own.

HIS RECORD IS EXPOSED Fight at Primaries Is Not Per sonal But of Great Import- ance to All People of County. OREGON CITY, Or., Maroli 39. (Editor of The Courier). Is the fight for the nomination for Btate senator upon the Republican ticket now beiug waged between Mr. Porter BE WHISPERED TO" and Mr. Brownell merely a' personal one, or is it of great importance to the people of Clackamas oounty whioh of these two shall be chosen? After a careful investigation of the matter I am fully oonvinoed that it is not a personal matter but that it 'is one of the greatest importance and in volves questions of prinoipla and good government and the protection of the rights.of citizens against the encroach nients'of the greatjoorporations. I firmly believe that every voter of Clackamas county should and does realize that the great and paramount question of the day is, "Shall the cor porations control the people or shall the people be controlled by the corpor ations?" How near the corporations oome to oontroling the people now is only too apparent. Just a glance at the daily papers or examination ot the late magazines will oonvince the av erage oitizen that the fight of his life is to be against the corporations; that the corporations have their agents and attorneys everywhere. .That the cor porations are ever hungry for fran chises, for the publio rights; they want to oontrol the light, heat, water and streets and to fill the air with wires of every description, and they are not satisfied to have this right for a reasonable length of time they want H forever. Z Who of the two men above men tioned represent the corporations and who the people? The answer is well known. Brownell represents the corpora tions, not the people. Brownell has acted as the attorney for almost every corporation operating in Clackamas county; he has been the (Continued on page 10. ) , No 46 SOCIALISTS CONVENTION Party Will Meet April 7 to Nominate Ticket.

Cole, of Molalla, Will Help Defeat Brownell at Primaries. J. R. ColoJ of ;Molalla, was in the city Friday. Mr. Cole is known as one of the strong antl-maohinn men of Olatkaraas oounty and has beon prom inently ' mentioned as a candidate tot the Republican nomination of state senator, aud his politioal frienns have been purging him to make the rnoe ever since the political horizon opened. Mr. Cole has been sounding thesituation carefully, and has deter minded that his entry into the tight would .'only serve to split np the in terests of the party that are opposed to Mr. Browuell's renomination tor a fourth term in the ststo senate. He gave out the following statement for publication i ? . "I will state that while I had con templated becoming a oandidate for the Republican nomination for state -senator, on' canvassing die situation in Oregon Oity, I find the opposition to Mv Brownell's nomination united. I feel' that my entry into the oontost at this time would divide the opposi tion and would act against the true interest of the people ;of Clackamas county. I only considered becoming a oandidate i in the hope of bettering the political'sitnation in the oounty, buta in oonvinoed that suocess lies in uniting the element that desires bet-' ter things not in dividing it.
