CONTINUES FIGHT AGAINSTASSEMBLY Pine drove, Dec. 27. 1!X9 Killtor News: While your attack upon the grange two weekH ago called for a reply and pur reply ling brought another reply from you, yet as we understand the English Ian guage yju have evaded replying to some ol the essential objections we offered against your aHHe m b ly sc he m e. You failed to tell us how you are go ing to prevent such scenes as the one we mentioned, tbe double-headed state convention, when Senator Dolph was pulled off the stage In the A. O. U. V. ball lu Portland. You seem to think that tbe assembly Is all we need to purify Oregon politics. Itut you have not told us bow you are going to bar out from control the three corrupt fort-en of which we spoke, viz: the political ward healer, the liquor element and the corpora tion Influence. They always have corrupted our political conventions and we have heard It whispered (?) that their Influence U even lined In our leglMlatures In selecting United States senators. It has been proved tjeyotul a doubt that our primary law, especially Statement No. 1, re moves the control of these three cor rupt forces. We must give you credit for finally admitting that you are opposed to our primary law. Quite a different admission tuan the one sent out from that notable "smoker' which you attended In Portland i few weeks ago, where a resolution upholding our primary elections was made after they hail decided to make a fight for the assembly scheme Little by little we will find out what you fellows want, lou assert tuat our primary law has proved a failure and to prove It you refer to our state senators and representatives In very uncomplimentary manner. Oh you belong to the outs and want in anil of course can only be a political pessimist. You say our Republican senator Is a mugwump and the other a Democrat and that neither has any Influence singly, and little jointly Do you menu to say that a senator elected by the combined vote of part of the minority party and a faction of the majority party are Mugwumps? If so please tell us what percent of our United States senators are not Mugwumps. Illi nois was the last one to elect a Re publican under this means and he Is what you call a mugwump. If you will Investigate our silly method of electing United States senators you 9 Established 1 900 V. SI !! i: i! i! !! !! !! S! V, !! !! !! u 3!

BARTMESS Funeral Director and Practical Embalmer ESTABLISHED IS YEARS MOOD RIVER, OREOON will And that Mugwumps are quite popular and that Senator Bourne Is only one of the many. Hence his associates are his colleagues. If llourne Is a Mugwump, and Hcott (according to newspaer and m a ga ll ue reports) offered $25,000 and the support of both his papers for ISourne's sunoort. what then Is Scott? 1'lease answer without equlv ocattng. You sny that Chamber Iain's election caused lust as much wire-pulling, Just as much corrupt tlon and Just as much mlsrepresenta tlon and then you say It was In a milder form and kept from the public view. " We can not harmonize the words "Just as much" and "milder. Now, Mr. Editor, are you not a little forgetful? Why didn't you tell us who did the wire-pulling and tor what It was done? Just say that you fellows were trying to over-ride the will of the people and Just cause our legislators elected under a pledge to vote for tbe people's choice for United States senator were hou- est men and did not yield to the cor ruptlon Influence used to get them to violate their pledge, you fellows who are now out try to make believe they are unworthy of their positions, and the whole primary law a failure, You think our present United States senators are not what they should be. While they have not done enough yet to be Indicted by a federal grand Jury, yet we lelieve them to be serv lug our people just as well as some others who were elected under con ventlon tactics. You say that If the elements now opposing the assembly scheme had taken as much Interest In good government under the con vention plan we would have never bad the primary law. Again you are forgetful. For the last fifteen years our state grange has been working In every honorable way possible to get a better form of state government. From 191 until 1!W2 there was never a Democratic or Republican convention but that the grange was represented by many warm supporters of direct legisla tion and other progressive reforms. We worked long and hard and after forcing two legislatures to meet the Issue squarely they balked and referred direct legislation to the peo ple, and they, the people, were found to be about 5 to 1 In favor of direct legislation. Do not tell us we were not working for purer laws under your old convention system. Had conventions not become so corrupt and failed to give satisfactory results the primary law would not have leen needed. Reforms come from the oppressed and the people of Ore gon simply arose to meet the emerg ency. You sneer at our last legisla ture's work because a large part of the meralers were elected under the direct primary law. Now please an swer this question. What rating should they have compared with the one that met 40 days and 40 nights and did not organize either house, and -compelled ns to pay Interest on unpaid state warrantsfor two years? This unorganized mass of legislators were nominated under the old con vention system and elected with blood In their eyes. When we stop and think of Oregon's past political history we feel like exclaiming, "ye (Sods and little fishes!" How can anyone truly desire to return to such a Punch and Judy system of nomin ating public ofllcers. Your comments on our desire of conducting our state and national affairs, which you say Is a scramble of ballots Influenced by money etc., Is simply too ridiculous for consideration. Now be honest and tell us who will be the easier bought and influenced, all the people or a few? Your picture of the Hon and the lamb sleeping together and Jonathan sitting between Worthy Matron and Miss Labor Is no argu ment. Just causes a smile. Rut the smile that will not rub off Is the one we wear when we think of Lion Har vey and Tiger .loe sitting on either side of Pure Government each watch ing the other nnd muttering, "I'll fix you when I get control of thet-e as semblies."
