Clerk Greenman notwithstanding an
opinion recently rendered by Attorney

man holds that there is no authority
in the law for the change of a voter's

made. In his opinion the Attorney

ten head of three and four year old
beef steers to a local butcher. The ag

AN IDEAL STATE FOR AN OUTING
There is perhaps not another State
in the Union nor a strip of land on
the American continent which offers
greater attractions than those offered
by California as a place to spend your
vacation.
Its hundreds of miles of Coast line,
its giant mountains, fertile valleys val
leys, forests of trees and other num-
erous attractions make it an ideal
place to spend a vacation, superior to
any other on this continent.
So many teachers contemplate the
spending of their vacation as agree
ably as possible, to the best advantage
and at a small expense, it was deemed
prudent by the California Committee
of the National Educational Associa
tion to print booklets which give all
the information, and answer' the many
inquiries received from all -parts of
the" United States about the cost of
attending the San Francisco meeting
of the N. R. A. in Jnlv next, the cost
of living in San Francisco and in ouier
parts of California and points of inter
est of the Pacific Coast. The booklet
gives the railroad rates for the round
trip over all the direct routes to and
from San Francisco, from all the prin
cipal points in . the East and as far

"ROBERT A. MILLER the same election and he thinks that
would be practically a new registra

This action by Clerk Greenman is of
particular interest since in this coun
ty many Socialists have registered as
members, of the Republican party.- The
Socialists, having cast less than 25
per cent of the vote for Congressman
at the last general election, are de
barred from nominating at the . pri
maries and for that reason many reg
istered as Republicans in order to par
ticipate in the nominating of the can
didates of that party. This fact be
coming known, the Socialist party of
this county at a meeting unanimously
adopted a resolution demanding that
the errant members of the party either
modify their registration or be expell
ed from membership in the organiza
tion. The embarassment of these back
sliding Socialists was the greater
for about this time was given the opin
ion by the Attorney-General that a
change in registration that had once
been made could not be changed.
But in view of the fact that the reg
istration of these Socialists was done
largely through a misunderstanding of
the law. Clerk Greenman has conclud-

having expended in the last 20 years over. $1,000,000 of his own money in the
acquisition and development of Oregon ifiqps.
While Mr. Bourne has haa his residence and main office at Portland
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 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 people
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, is championing Statement
No. 1 of the primary elections las as the only method by which public opinion
may be crystalized and made effective upon the Legislature.
In his petition for nomination he says:

Interest in the political situation In
Clackamas County increases as the
date for holding the primary election
approaches. Practically all the meet
ings are largely attended which indi
cates ah interest among the voters sur
passing that of preceding campaigns.
This interest Is further manifested
since a great majority of the voters
have " already registered and it may
reasonably be predicted that there will
be a good vote out at the primaries,
a result that was at first feared.
Brownell on the Defensive.
Of absorbing" Interest is the contest
for State Senator for which Senator
Brownell asks a " re-nomination
and re-election, on his record which Is
being shown up in a convincing man
ner by Mr. Brownell s opponent lor
this nomination, Mr. L . L. Porter, of
West Oregon City. -
From the start Mr. Brownell has
been on the defensive and has been not
a little embarassed in an attempted
explanation of his legislative record,
to say nothing of the federal indict
ment that is pending against him. The
Senator has so easily excused his leg
islative course in' the past that suchi
a little thing as that never disturbs
him in the least, but he finds that to
explain . away, the indictment witn
which he is confronted is the most se
rious stumbling block he has encoun
tered in his political experience m
this county.
. Voters Have To Be "Shown."
What disturbs the .gentleman more
than anything else is that the voters
are getting on to him and do not ac
cept his very plausible explanation as
to the indictment. --In the past he has
repeatedly fooled the people until by
this time he finds they are decidedly
suspicious of him and require of him
Drool of the most convincing charac
ter that' he is not guilty of the crime
with which he is charged by the gov

This proof he is unable to supply
and, in the absence of any other de
fense, has resorted to the usual sub
terfuge, that of attempting to estab
lish an alibi but that sort of thing does
not buy much with the people" of
Clackamas county who have reached
that stage in their relations with the
gentleman from Clackamas that it
is necessary for them "to be shown,"
a contingency for which Mr Brownell
for once is not prepared.

While Clackamas county voters may
