In a circular letter, Jonathan Bourne
Jr., of Portland, discusses the Direct
Primary Law as follows:
"Understanding that you have given
the Direct Primary I-aw much thought
and rendered valuable assistance In
effecting its adoption. I take the lib

"All persons familiar with V. 8.
Senatorial elections not only In Ore
gon, but In ail of the states of the
Union, must lie cognizant of the fact
that ofttimes financial, official, or other
personal considerations are frequent

the election of United States Senators.

of the spirit of our present Direct Pri

every thoughtful citizen. If enforced,
then political and senatorial combina
