AGAINST BOURNE; FORJOWERMAN In a letter to the Oregonlan, Ex Mayor L. N. Blower cornea out trong In opposition to the dictation of Jonathan Bourne In Oregon poll tics, and 1 equally strong In hi en dorsement of Bowerman. Mr. Blow er says: "I have been considerably Inter ested In the progress of the political campaign now under way In thM state, and while I am an antl-assem-bly Republican and an earnest be liever in the right of the people to manage their own affair, I am pos itively opposed to taking the advice of Senator Bourne relative to the governorship. ' "I believe that the people of Or egon are capable of thinking and acting for themselve without dicta tion or advice from Mr. Bourne on the one baud, or an assembly on the other. "The voters, acting under the fair est l net hod yet devised for nominat ing candidates, and after full and free consideration, have nominated a their candidate for governor a man in the prime of life, energetic and of proved ability, one who, If elected, will be a real governor. I greatly mistake the treud of senti ment If Jay Bowerman I not elected by the largest majority ever given a candidate for governor of this state. "I hope that the oft-repented state ment that the direct primary law I conducive to the election of Demo crat in thl Republican state will lie so completely refuted Xovember th that no one will again have the nerve to make such a statement. Lowell. Fills, Dlmlck. Hofer. Abra ham and many others equally earn est and sincere all over the st:ite, are showing the way to elect the Repub lican voters' candidate."
