CORVALLIS, OREGON, -TUESDAY EVENING MAR. 20, THE SENATE EXPOSE: I The exposure by Lincoln" Steff ens of the motives and influences that control the American senate make interesting reading jti t now, when there is a movement itf Ore gon to prevent the selection of; sen ator by direct vote, as is now" pos sible under the Primary law... .In language so plain that it cannot be misunderstood, Mr. Steff ens charg es that the senate is in reality, he agent and champion of rich express companies, . railroad companies, of syndicates and combines and that it legislates in the interest of these rather than for the benefit of the people. In fact, some of the sena tors have admitted to Mr.Steffens the very things he charges against them as will be seen in an article on the first page . of this paper. , The exposure makes 'it important that the primary law with reference to direct vote for senator be adhered to in Oregon by requiring legisla tive candidates to sign statement number i. With Oregon thus lead ing the way the other states will soon adopt similar plans, , and in. but a little while all the senators will have to run the gauntlet of the people which will mean that the senate will soon be purged of trust agents and corporation law yers like , the Depews, the Plattsj the Aldriches, " the Forakers, the" , Elklns and all the others of their ilk.

JM Greatest, Grandest and most Stupendous Sale of HAS BEEN INVITED. But Has Not Accepted Coun ty Clerk Moses and His , ' Constituents, v So far, the democrats are without a candidate for county .clerk. In short, no man among them is a seeker after office. The function of the late gathering of , their clans was to awaken inthem a willingness to allow their names to be used. From the very .first it has' been the understanding ...that County Clerk Moses did not wish a re-nomination His friend?, both democrats and re publicans, in all parts of the county have urged him to stand for. re election. . In all cases. : he ha.s re turned the invariable answer that he is not and does not wish to be in the fight. ,; At the democratic meet ing Friday evening, he was further urged to allow his name to be used for clers. He has made an exem plary official, and his . friends real ize that his record is , such as to make him almost invincible, if he enters the field. The vote, . asking him to go on the ticket was unani mous and enthusiastic. Speeches in his. favor, and referring to his splendid work as an official were greeted with enthusiastic, applause. The meeting adjourned, however, without an acceptance from , him, There has been no acceptance since. At the meeting, he made a brief ad dress, .thanking' his i friends of all parties for their support In the past He . ; said: ; This evening, while we . are gathered here in an informal way . to plan for the general welfare of , the local democ racy, I trust that a few words from one of your servants will no( be out of place." "There are7times, when men who are public servants should render to those who reposed confi dence jnf hem, an acconnt of their stewardshipr-this is an occasion of that kind. The honors you have conferred Upon me, I have endeav ored t wear with becoming modes ty, and with a consciousness of my faults and short " comings; the re; sponsibilities you have entrusted to me, I have met and discharged, to the best of my. ability, and yet not my ability alone, but I have had', and been upheld by your support and; constant rco-bpefation; I have tried at all times to meet these re sponsibilities and measure: up to these requirements, in the letter as well as in the spirit; the confidence Son's that will bring Men you reposed in me I have been care ful not to betray, either in the small or more important interests commit ted to me. . . That the work of my office might have been done better I will not de; ny; but in all I have sought to do my best, In my official acts, I have known, no man, not party, but all men and all parties. The office you gave me by your suffrage, and the assistance;of my friends of the other political parties in the county, , and the honor conferred upon me in such act, I have . sought to merit, ind I expect to retire fromjthe office of clerk at end of this - term, fally trusting that not one who gave, me his vote, has ever had j occasion to regret such act. ; The honor of hav ing been your servant, I will always cherish, , - t 1 1 feel that whatever may be pref erence of my friends, or the politic al views of those who have voted for me, I have this consciousness, that I have not doneoan act to gain a friend; but have so acted as to merit the good will, confidence and friendship of every man. .;.
