OPEN LETTER TO
GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN.
Ontgon City, Or. May 24, 1908.
Hon. CinrKo 10. C'liambcrlnlii,
Hiili'tn, Oregon.
My Dnir (inventor: You ask with
Home scorn "Why should 1 quit tho
nm. for Srimtor?" For the sanm rea
sons Hint you Hhoultl not Imvo enter
I'd tho race.
Flmt. IIitiiiiho tho Stnti'iniMil No,
1 principle him not yi't Kninetl n do
cIhIvo vli'tory. anil uiull It iIoi'h tho
lt"iiiilillcaii legislature will not oli'ct
you or uny otlu-r Democrat. Only 35
Statement No. I Republicans WlTi
nominated out of 75 candidates to bo
elected this yi'iir. lIuli'HH tho people
I'li-ct nmny inoro Democrats to tho
legislature than thoy ilhl two years
uko, there will not bo enough Statu
nii'iit No. 1 ini'inl)irH of thu legisla
ture to elect you. viui If you gut tho
popular vote In Juno.
Second. Hecuuso your Influence
would he very much greater for tho
election of Statement No. 1 members
of tho legislature- If you wero only un
iidvoeuto of thu principle, luHteud of
being iiIho a rundldnto for tho olllce,
and you would thus have greater In
lluence than uny other Democrat In
electing Stiitenient No. 1 members to
thu leglHlnturc.
Third. Ilecnuso lis n cnndlduto you
nro re)reHenting to tho pooplo that
Stiitenient No. 1 Ih miro of such a ma
jority In tho leglHlnture that you will
ho elected by that body If you get tho
lilght'Ht number of votes In tho Juno
election. livury politician In Oregon
known that lu not true, and thus you
risk defeat of tho principle for tho
doubtful chance of gratifying your
Hellish ambition to bo senator.
Your public reference to my action
In tho recent campaign and your
statement ua to your own work for
Statement No. 1 require Homo further
niiHwer. I do not wIhIi to detract lu
any wuy from tho true value of your
Horvlce an Governor, though you proh
nbly do not underestimate even that,
but as to Statement No. 1, your cluluis
uro much greater than your perform
ance. In tho campaign of 1902, under tho
Mayo law for tho people's selection
of United States Senutor, Governor
(leer defeated Mr. Wood by a major
ity of about twelve thousand votes. In
the legislature of lfllKl Mr. Wood pub
licly advised every Democrat member
to vote always for Governor Geer bo
cause ho was tho peoples' cholco, and
thereforo Hhoultl bo unanimously
elected by the legislature. You did
not add tho weight of your indorse
ment to Mr. Wood's advice, nor did
you then advocate applying the State
ment No. 1 principle to the oloctlon of
Governor Goer as Senator."
Again, when Senator Mitchell's
death In 1905 caused a vacancy, in
stead of appointing Governor Goor,
who was the peoples' choice by a
twelve thousand majority, or even Mr.
Wood, who was the choice of your
party, you went far outside the ranks
of tho reformers and appointed Mr.
Onrln. Whuu you appointed Mr.
(ienrln In 1905 you were not yet con
vinced that tho Statement No. 1 meth
od of enforcing tho Mays law for the
people's direct election of U. S. Sen
ator wan a practical thing for a poli
tician, though you had been a mem
ber of the l'ugue which proposed the
law to tho people In 1904.
In tho Statement No. 1 campaign
of 19oti you did not nuiko any great
effort for tho principle. Antl-Stnte-mont
No. 1 Senutor Milton A. Miller
Is one of your wuniient Democratic
friends and admlrerH and ho promis
ed some of tho Republican anti-State-nieiit
No. 1 leaders that If they would
help elect him, he would never vote
for Jonuthun llourne. Ho was elected
and ho did not. Senator Miller won
the nomination against a good Demo
crat who had signed Statement No. 1.
You did not lift you voice for tho
Statement No, 1 man. That case is
u Hiimplo of your devotion to tho prin
ciple of Statement No. 1 In 190(i. I
could give other examples.
You wero a candidate for re-election
In 1900, and I listened to your
masterly two hours' speech nt Oregon
City. In pruise of the work you had
done as governor, but you never men
tioned Statement No. 1. Neither did
I hear of your spending time Hpeaklng
for tho Statement In other places, and
I was listening.
It Is very clear that you acquired
what my Methodist friends would call
a "saving conviction" of the righte
ousness and power of Statement No. 1
after the Juno election In 1U0C, be
cause you helped to organize the leg
islature of 1907 In Its favor. Then It
was clearly good politics for a popu
lar Democrat to help Statement No. 1
If ho wanted to be United States Sen
ator. Remembering these things, are you
not something of a pharlsee, a "Holler
than thou," when you accuso Mr. Cake
of being untrue to tho principle be
cause he ddos not seek to elect about
:t5 Democrats und five Independent
Statement No. 1 candidates for the leg
islature, Instead of 40 Republicans
who were nominated by tho Republi
can voters of theelr districts, notwith
standing their refusal to sign State
ment No. 1? You did not so much as
try to nominate Statement No. 1 Dem
ocrat Daw-Bon against anti-Statement
No. 1 Miller two years ago, and there
wore othor cases. Is it only for tho
good of tho principle that you ami
your friends demand that Mr. Cake
shall antagonize those 40 Republi
cans? Or is it that thereby Cake
would bo driving into tho Chamber
lain corral?
It is more than a year since friends
said to you that no man in Oregon
could do so much for Statement No. 1
as yourself and only by declaring that
you would not be a candidate to suc
ceed Senator Fulton, and that you
would glvo all your lnlluonce to the
success of the principle, by working
for the election of none but State
ment No. 1 members of the legisla
ture this year. If you had done that,
working for tho nomination of Inde
pendent Statement No. 1 candidates
against the successful anti-Statement
No. 1 Republican nominees, and at the
same time had employed your elo
quence In your party councils to per
suade your friends not to nominate
Democratic candidates for the legisla
ture, as Democrats, the victory this
ar would have been so complete that
no one In Oregon would ever again
refuse to sign Statement No. 1. Then
there would bo no doubt about the
r.e.xt legislature electing a Democrat
candidate for senator If the peoplo
should give him tho highest number
of votes In Juue.
Wo know that you are right In
preaching that the highest patrlotlsn
it, the sncnflco of self and personal
ambitions for the success of "eat
principles. Some of your friends
thought you would practice that pat
riotlsm for the sake of finally estab
lishing and making certain the succor
of Statement No. 1 by allowing some
other Democrat to run for the olllce
while you worked for the principle.
They wero mistaken in their man.
As between yourself and Mr. Cake,
he has done and is doing more for the
principle than yourself in this cam
paign. He Is risking defeat now from
Republicans who will vote for you he
cause they hope to give you the popu
lar vote In June, and defeat you In
January before the legislature.
They believe they can prevent the
election of a safe Statement No. 1 ma
jority, and I very much fear they are
right and that your success in June
will mean your defeat and the defeat
of tho law in January. If this hap
pens it enn only be charged to your
selfish ambition. You, above all other
men In Oregon, will be responsible
If there Is a holdup in the legislature
next wlntor.
About the close of the nominating
campaign In 1906 I charged Mr. Cake
with being a Standard Oil servant be
cause ho had appeared as counsel for
that Company in the Supreme Court
of Oregon. A few days afterward it
was proved to my satisfaction that Mr.
Cake had been employed only as spe
cltl counsel in thnt one case an em
ployment which almost any lawyer,
even yourself, would have acepted be
tween lS'.Hi and 1900. I was also as
sured, and I verily believe, that
neither Mr. Cake nor his law firm did
any. other business with the Standard
Oil Company either before or since
that case was decided, which was
nearly eight years ago. You and your
campaign managers know the facts
concerning such employment. Do you
think it is right and honest to con
tlnuo the circulation of that charge
without assuming the responsibility
for its truth? I do not.
If Mr. Cake shall be chosen by the
people's vote there is no question
about his election in January, because
in addition to the Statement No. 1
members there will be about twenty
five members who will be obliged to
vote for the Republican party choice.
If you receive the people's vote there is
every prospect of a holdup, because
it Is unlikely that Statement No. 1
will have a safe working majority in
the legislature. Therefore, wholly
aside from the fact that you are a
Democrat and I am a Republican, I
hope the people may decide In June
that Mr. Cake shall go to the United
States Senate and you shall stay In
Salem.
Y'ours truly,
W. S. U'REN.
The County High School.
SHUBEL, Oregon, May 14 (To the
Editor of the Enterprise.) Being in
terested in the educational welfare of
our county as well as education in
general, our attention has been attract
ed to the movement of those who are
trying to have the County Court es
tablish a high school at the general ex
pense of all. They have been traveling
through various parts of the county
and have been working earnestly for
their Idea. These men reside in Ore
gon City and Its immediate vicinity
and are naturally desirous of having
a county high school in their midst
and are of course delighted at the
prospect of having every farmer and
taxpayer In the county help them pay
for it. These men are entitled to full
' credit for the patriotism they display.
! Being men of learning with a learned
man of the law among them, they
easily recognize that a high school
will enhance the value of the com
munity wherein it is built. For this
same reason we are strongly attach
ed to the Idea that several districts
should, and in due time will build
what we are beginning to know as
union or district high schools. It will
be vastly better for our county and
state to develop the union high school
Idea in preference to what are known
as county high schools. These men
who are advocating the county idea
may have told you that there are sev
eral county high schools in successful
operation and are giving general sat
isfaction; but we like to have it
known at the same time that in those
few counties the property owners re
side mostly within the city containing
the high school. Farms In those coun
ties are equal to fifty or a hundred
of Clackamas County farms, and while
the high school in those counties will
give satisfaction until the large farms
are divided Into smaller farms, our
county cannot follow in their footsteps.
To have twenty, thirty, or ten union
high schools in our county built and
controlled by the districts that have
built tbeni, will do more to develop in
terest in higher education by all our
citizens, than anything else that we
can do. It will put responsibility di
rectly where it belongs and where
there is conscious responsibility you
will And awakened interest in public
advancement. It seems to us that it
Is to our best interest to vote against
the county high school and at the
same time work for the establishment
of union high schools. j

IIAWLEY MAKING GOOD
IN WASHINGTON CITY
OREGON'8 CONGRESSMAN IS A
MAN OF TIRELE8S INDUSTRY
AND ORATORICAL ABILITY.
CORVALLIS, May 2C "Sentiment
In favor of the re-election of Congress
man W. C. Hawley Is ho nearly unan
imous that there can scarcely be
said to be a Congressional campaign
In progress," said Chairman C. V.
Johnson, of the First District Commit
tee, today. "The people of this dis
trict, regardless of party lines, j ap
preciate the fact that Hawley Is mak
ing good at Washington. They rec
ognize In him a man of high Intellect
ual attainments, tireless Industry and
rare oratorical ability. The Republi
cans of tho district were so well sat
isfied with their Representative that
they re-nomlnated him without oppo
sition. "It has been a pleasure to the peo
ple of this district . to read in the
news dispatches from time to time
that by his earnestness, his sincer
ity and his devotion to duty, Hawley
has made a favorable impression In
Washington. Though the unwritten
rules forbid a new Congressman to
thrust himself forward, we are glad
to learn that Hawley has made many
warm friends in the House of Repre
renlatives and that during his first
session he had opportunity, in dls
cuslng the Oregon & California land
grant resolution, to demonstrate his
ability as an effective public speaker.
"Here in Oregon we know Hawley
as a man fitted both by native talents
and by education for the work of a
statesman. All his life he has kept
himself well informed upon all public
questions. We are Justified, there
fore, in believing that he will soon at
tain a position of Influence In the
House of RepresentaUves. We all un
derstand that it takes time for any
man to rise to leadership and we ex
pect to keep Hawley in Washington
until he has had a chance to work his
way to the top.
"Hawley's persistent efforts for the
cancellation of the railroad land grant,
his systematic work in behalf of a
government appropriation for free
locks at Oregon City, his advocacy of
river and harbor Improvements, and
bis attitude in favor of tariff revision
while maintaining the protecUve prin
ciple, have met the hearty approval
of the people of bis district. This
satisfactory public record, together
with the personal esteem in which he
is held because of bis high moral
character, his genial disposition and
bis intellectual attainments, make it
a pleasure for the people of his dis
trict to vote for him regardless of
party lines."
