Having No Argument, He
Employs Abuse.
It has been years since the voters of
. Clackamas county evinced the interest
they are showing in the political cam
oalen that is bow being waged.
This interest is apparent from the
large number of candidates there are
for the different nominations witnm
the gift of the electors and also the
large number of people who attend all
of the meetings of a political character
that are being conducted throughout
tiie county. There exist3 an interest
among the voters that has been miss
ing largely in preceding campaigns.
. But this year under the primary nomi
nating system, the people constitute
the initiative force and they are pre
paring for an intelligent performance
of that service by attending these
meetings and ' hearing discussed the
various Issues on which the rival can
didates for nomination are asking their
suffrages.
Registration is Good.
A further evidence of interest in the
situation, is shown in the registration
of voters of the county which on Sat
urday evening last aggregated 3129
With a total vote of about 4500, it is
estimated-that all of the voters of the
countv will have registered before
Adi-U 10. the date on which the regis
traJdon books will be closed for the
primary election.

standing," said L. L. Porter, candidate
for State Senator, yesterday.
Some exception was taken by leg
islative candidates, who arc seekiog
renomlnation on the Republican ticket,
to the headlines that appeared in las
week's issue of the Enterprise an
nouncine "Clackama3 Voters Want
New Deal." These gentlemen consid
ered that this was a personal reflec
tion on themselves. But in this con
nection Mr. Porter desires that it be
understood that the headlines had ap
plication to the Senatorial situation.
- Mr. Porter is satisfied to devote all
of his time to managing his own can
didacy and to carry the same to
succesful 'Issue, he desires the sup
port of all voters who staud for clean
er politics than the people . of this
county have been served for several
years past. Mr. Porter is gratified with
the assurance of loyal suport he Is
(receiving from all section ' of the
county. There is a strong sentiment
among the voters that demands
change and . the divorcement of cop
poraton agents from further alleged
service in- a legislative capacity.
More Successful Meetings.
Last Saturday, Mr. Porter, acf om
panied by C. H. Dye and E. P. Carter,
candidates for nomination on the Re
publican -Representative ticket, held
successful meetings at Molalla and
Mullno. At the Mulino meeting. Prank
Jaggar, who is seeking renomination
as Representative, was ' present and
also addressed the voters.
Dr. J. J. Leavitt -was chairman of
the Molalla meeting which as ad
dressed by Mr. Porter, also Sir Dye
and Mr. Carter. The Interest of the
auditors was good and they were right
with the speakers.
C. T. Howard, the veteran millman
at Mullno presided at ' the meeting
that was held at that place Saturday
evening. There, as well as at Molalla,
the speakers found an appreciative
audience. Particular attention was
paid by the speakers to a discussion
of corporations and the undue in
fluences they are exercising in matters
of legislation, particularly as demon
strated in Clackamas county.
Miss Spangler accompanied the
speakers from this city and delighted
the two audiences by singing several
selections of popular music.
' Brownell Meeting.
Senator Brownell, escorted by the
Milwaukie Band and other candidates
for nomination on the Republican tick
et, went to Estacada last Thursday
afternoon and addressed an audience
in the auditorium. As was the case
at Milwaukie the preceding Saturday
night, the Senator devoted practically
all of his time to an abuse of his op
ponent, Mr. Porter, the Oregon City
newspapers and their publishers and
then sought to explain how he happen
ed to be Indicted by the Federal
grand Jury. In this connection he" re
lated the same tearful tale that was
pleaded at Milwaukie. j
The legitimate expenses In conneo- j
tion with his Estacada meeting alone
amounted to more than his salary for
the entire forty days of a legislative
session at Salem. But, of course, the
Senator makes this pecuinary sacri
fice in the interest of the '"dear
people"! It would be criminal even
to so much as intimate that any por
tion of the expenses of these meetings
is paid by any one of the corporations
with which the Senator has relations,
although it is known that the Senator
furnished the management of the
Band a trip pass from Milwaukie to
Estacada and return over the O. W. P.
company's line for the seventeen mem
bers of that organization.
Of course. Senator Brownell is not
the agent, tool, attorney or servant of
corporate interests! If he were, it had
been impossible for him to obtain
this trip pass for the band ' as well as
other transportation that he so freely
distributes! Of course, these several
corporations get nothing in return for
these contributions!
It has been stated, and the source
of the information is absolutely reli
able, that more transportation is is
sued by the Southern Pacific and O. R.
& N. companies, on the application of
Senator Brownell, than upon the re
quest of any other person not officially
connected with those corporations.

Even the "oldest inhabitant'" does
not recall a more abrupt Change in
weather conditions than was experi
enced last Saturday and in fact the
unseasonable weather has continued
with uninviting persistence since. A
more ideal June day than was last Fri
day is rarely experienced in the Wil-
lamettA Vallev hut a most decided
change resulted during the following
forenoon when the thermometer drop
ped sufficiently to register freezing
weather and since that time the mer
cury has abided quite regularly at
that station to the discomfiture of. the
Inexperienced Oregonian.
But the damage to vegetation that
has resulted thus far has been confin-
I ed largely to several varieties of early
j fruit much of which had blossomed
j although it is admitted that if the un-
length of . time, fall grain will be in
jured greatly. Garden vegetables have
also been nipped by the frigid nor'
easter, but so far as reports have been
received, the apple crop has not been
damaged yet. With an abundant yield
of hay and other feed harvested last
season, Clackamas county farmers are
exceptionally well prepared for, severe
weather conditions, and, with ample
sheltering quarters, which stockmen
have provided generally for their dairy
and beef herds, in anticipation of such
a contingency, cattle will -not suffer
even from a protracted period of this
unstasonable weather. ; . '
i The unexpected change In' weather
conditions is anything but appreciated
by the, people of this section.: who are
accustomed to -a - more delightful cli
mate during the winter months. The

Jonathan Bourne, Jr., candidate before the Republican primaries for
the nomination of United States Senator in Congress, for the long term com
mencing March 4, 1907, was born in New Bedford, Mass., February 23i 1855;
was1 a member of the class of 1877 at Harvard .University ; came to Portland
May 16, 1878; was a Republican member of the Oregon Legislature in the
session of 1885 and the extra session of 1886 ; was one of Oregon's delegates
to the Republican National Convention of 1888 and Oregon's member of the
Republican National Committee from 1888 io 1892, and a delegate to the
Republican National Convention of 1892 ; and was elected as a Mitchell .Re
publican to the Oregon Legislature in 1896.
Mr. Bourne has been more prominently identified with the develop
ment of the mineral resources of Oregon than any other man in the state
having expended in the last 20 years over ? 1,000,000 of his own money in the
acquisition and development of Oregon mines, '' '
While Mr. Bourne has had his residence and main office at Portland
since 1878, he has bad 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 East. These quali
fications, 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 influential Senator for the State of Oregon.
Mr. Bourne has always favored extending the direct power of the peopl
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 4he 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, is championing Statement
No. 1 of the primary elections las as the only method by which public opinion
may be crystal ized and made effective upotv 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.
Amending National Constitution for People's Election of United States
Senators.
Publicity Political Campaign Expenses.
National Control of Corporations in Interstate Commerce. .

CLACKAMAS CAN BEAT THIS
RECORD.
Paragraphs have been appearing In
the state papers relative to fthe oldest
officers who administered the - civil
laws in Oregon in territorial days.
Cottage Grove is able to do something
along that-line. L. L.. Whitcomb, whose
postofflce address is Cottage Grove, is
mentioned as the oldest assesor now
living In the state. He was elected
assessor of Washington county at the
June election in 1854 and assessed the
county that year. , That., was . before
Multnomah county was formed. Hills-
boro was the county ' seat, where all
county business was transacted. In
1858 Mr. Whitcomb was elected com
missioner for Washington county.
After serving his term he moved to
Yamhill county, where In 1864 he was
elected sheriff, serving two full terms.
It Is believed until further returns are
received, that he is the oldest living
ex-sheriff. Cottage Grove Western
Oregonian. '-
Clackamas can beat that record by at
least " two years. Hon. W. P. Burns,
now residing at Portland, father of
Chief of Police Burns, of this city, was
elected sheriff of Clackamas county
in 1862, two years prior to the time Mr.
Whitcomb was elected to the same
office in Washington county. Mr.
Whitcomb may be the oldest living
assessor in the state but Clackamas
believes it is right in claiming that Mr.
Burns is the oldest living sheriff. Mr.
Burns was re-elected to succeed him
self .both in 1864 and 1866. He is now
living in Portland and is 83 years of
age.
