; Even Senator Bourne is not bigger
than the primary law. The people will
sustain that statute in the November
election and give Bourne the third
disappointment in his determined ef
forts to succeed himself, regardless of
the expressed wishes of the people
in the primary election and the Bull
Moose convention.
It is said there are two kinds of
utility corporations the good and the
bad. Perhaps so. But in Oregon our
Railway Commission has made them
all toe the mark, that is, all under its

under its control all street railways !
operating in the state. There is a bill j
on the ballot, to be voted on at Nov-1

LOWELL ON BOURNE.
Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton,
who has always been among the pro
gressive men of the Republican party
in Oregon, makes the following state
ment anent Senator Bourne's candi
dacy, which is, in effect, a direct re
pudiation of the Oregon Primary law:
'T oppose Senator Bourne not only
because of his record, but because I
regard him as, to all intents and pur
poses, a non-resident of Oregon. He
is a millionaire, a married man, pres
ident of the great Bourne Cotton Mills
of Massochusetts, the state of his
birth and the source of his wealth.

only for a few weeks at a time, and,
when here, resides, like a traveler of
wealth, at the luxurious hotels of
Portland, and he registers politically
from the most elegant of them. He
is said to pay personal taxes in this
state amounting to only $2.44. He
claims, however, I believe, to he a
stockholder in some Oregon corpora

that, except that as he has passed
in Pullman cars, the man has never
set foot on the soil of one-third of
the counties of the state either as a

ducting a thorough investigation

ter coming before us during our de
liberative session."
Mass, while he admitted before the
County Court that the evidence was
not sufficient to convict, yet blames
the District Attorney because Harvey
was not indicted even if it was use
less and would cost the fax payers
several thousand dollars.
But the District Attorney does not
indict, that is done by the Grand Jury
under the following law:
Section 1405. Oath of Grand Jury
Juror may Affirm.
"Before the grand jury enter upon
the discharge of their duties, the fol
lowing oath must be administered to
them : "
"You, and each of you, as grand jur
ors for the County of , do sol-
emnly swear that you will diligently
inquire into, and true presentment or
indictment make, of all crimes against
this state, committed or triable with
in this county that shall come to
your knowledge; that the proceedings
before you, the counsel of the state,
your own counsel, and that of your
fellows, you will keep secret; that
you will indict no person through en
vy, hatred, or malice, nor leave any
person not indicted through fear, fav
of affection or hope of reward but
that you will indict according to the
truth, upon the evidence before you,
and the laws of this state, so help me
God."
Section 1411. The Grand Jury has
power, and it is their duty, to inquire
into all crimes committed or triable
in the county, and present them to
the court, either by presentment or
indictment, as provided in this chapt
ter. Section 1418. The"" grand jury ought
to find an indictment when all the
evidence before them, taken together,
is such as in their judgment would, if
unexplained or uncontradicted war
rant a conviction by the jury trial."
The times are past for stretching
rocks and dumb screws, when people
are hung or imprisoned and the truth
of the charge investigated afterwards.
Under the above law now the truth
must be determined first and the in
dictment returned under the law and
the evidence. If a grand jury violate
the above oath and indict any man
when the evidence is not sufficient
or they do not indict a man where
the evidence is sufficient they are
guilty of the crime or perjury which
is punishable from three to fifteen
iars in pe:
Therefore it would seem that Mr.
Mass' complaint is, that the grand
jury refused to commit perjury.
That grand jury was composed of
the following citizens and taxpayers:
A. M. Kirchem (Democrat) fore
man; W. H. Sturve (Republican), C.
Krigbaum (Democrat) H. J. Rastal
(Republican) A. Bremer tRepublican)
W. F. Lehman (Republican), Chas.
Sharnke (Republican). All of whom
are respectable, honest, law abiding
citizens.
Now as Harvey was not indicted
there can be only one of three reasons
why he was not
First: Either that the evidence
was not sufficient.
Second: Or that the grand jury
were dishonest crooks.
Third: Or that they were ignorant
blockheads.
We claim that they were honest
men doing their, plain duty and that
they did not indict Harvey because
the evidence did not meet the require
ments of the law and to have indicted
him would have made them perjurers.
Mass claims they should have in
dicted Harvey. That means in his op
inion the evidence was sufficient and
therefore the Grand Jury were either
1 a set 01 aisnonest perjurers or a set
! of ignorant, soit headed fools. And
' we would like to hear Mr. Mass say
in which class he means to place
them. j
Every murder committed in Clacka

yo
Every murderer in Columbia
County has been caught but one.
Ten in all.
But since Mass has been Sheriff
there has been nine people killed and
not a single man brought to trial.
We ask why?
The sheriffs of the other counties
catch the murderers, and Beatie did
in this county; when he was sheriff,
and the sheriffs of Columbia and Clat
sop are Democrats.
From this statement of facts who
is responsible for the fact that mur
derers in this county escape trial?
You had better consider this. You
or some member of your family may
be the next victim.
I have taken through the Circuit
and Supreme Courts 700 or more cas
es have not lost more than four out
of each hundred.
Every case in Supreme Court has
been won. Clackamas Sounty has not
paid out one cent for lawyers to as
sist me in trying a case.
I do the work for two judges. No
other District Attorney before me
did the work for more than one. I per
sonally attend to all cases in the Su
preme Court and Circuit of four coun
ties. ' ,
The guilty will be indicted but the
innocent will be protected from in
dictment. Indictments will be returned on the
evidence, not for rewards.
Money of taxpayers will not be
squandered on useless or malicious
prosecutions.
Every case must stand upon its
own merits, private cases cannot be
tried out of public expense.

MAJORITY RULE
Proposed by Initiative Petition
For the amending of Section 1, Ar
tide IV, of the Constitution of the
State of Oregon so as to require a
majority of all electors voting at any
election to adopt constitutional
amendment and pass initiative meas
ures and a majority vote only of
electors voting thereon to reject
measures referred to the people.
VOTE YES OR NO.
322 X Yes
323
No.
The Majority Rule amendment, as
shown above is just as it will appear
on the ballot This is one of the most
important measures the vpters of
Oregon will be called upon to decide
at the coming election.
It will take from the minority the
much abused power t Initiate and
uass laws that only a shall percent
age of the people understand, and
confirms the majority In its rights to
rule.
Has it not been the purpose of the
initiative to give the people the ma
jority the right to rule? Surely,
How can the majority rule if 25 of
30 per cent of the voters are allowed
to enact laws?
Look at it this way and you will
see the danger in the law which the
proposed amendment will remedy! A
certain clique r certain interests de
sire law or laws passed; they send
out an army of paid canvassers to so
licit names for the- petitions at so
much per name, the petition is filed
and the measure goes o"5 'the ballot;
those who have initiated the measure
,and those who signed the petitions
a small per cent of the electorate
vote for It a few people who know
that the proposed law is aimed at the
rights of the people vote against it;
but the majority who read in one
paper that the law is a good one and
who read in another paper that it. is
a bad law, frankly admit that they
do not understand it, and refrain

AMENDMENT
from voting. What is the result? The
people who have initiated and who
are deeply interested in the measure
a small minority obaut 25 or 30 per
cent of the electorate are counted for
it, as are those who did not vote on
it at all and it is declared passed.
That is what has happened ill the
past and what will happen at the com
ing election that is minority Rule, not
Majority Rule.
The proposed amendment will safe
guard the rights of the . people nd'
make the rule of the majority, major
ity rule indeed and not minority rule
as at present.
Is it right that our state constitu
tion should work so that conditions
could possibly arise when less than a
majority of the votes cast at an elec
tion could amend the Constitution?
Is it not evident that this is the
weak spot in our initiative law?
Is it not true that all are affected
by the passage of bad laws as well as
good laws?.. Is it not true that all
- must pay the cost of such legislation?
Is it right to say that the appro
val of a minority of the total number
of votes cast at an election should
have the right to pass any law or
amend the Constitution when all of
the people of the state are affected by
such legislation? '
Is it not better to have the approval
of a majority of the total number of
votes cast at any election than to pass
any law without it?
If you will carefully consider the
. merits of the Majority Rule amend
ment you will vote so that in the fu
ture the voters of Oregon will take
more interest in legislation, for it will
have a tendency to restrain expert
menters, causing less untried and ex
perimental measures being proposed,
thus giving the voter more time for
the consideration of important meas
ures.
By voting for the Majority Rule
amendment you1 will correct the abu
slve use of the initiative law, and
thereby preserve It in the State Con
stitution.
You, Mr. Voter, are to decide this
very important question and In order
to decide it right you should . vote
322 Yes on November 5.
