Hill, vlco presldout of tho Great North era, who In reality has heeu in active ehargo of tho road for tho past threo years. L. W.

Senator The New Age hat said before and It now aays again that It does not be Heve that the next legislature will elect J. Bourne, Jr., to the United 8tates senate, it has been said that our opposition to Mr. Bourne Is In spired by prejudice, and that we can give no good reason for opposing him since he waa regularly named by the republican voters) for the office. We opposed Mr. Bourne during the primaries for the reason that we knew him to be unfit for the high office to which he aspired. First That ha Is not a loyal and consistent republican. Second That he Is a traitor and political black-teg. Third That he could not be depend ed upon to support Roosevelt. If he had been a loyal and consistent republican he would not have deserted his party In the hour of Its dire dis tress, when the blight of Bryanlam and populism overshadowed the country In 1000. But as a true and loyal repub lican would have put self aside and rendered whatever service he could for his party and his republican friends. If Bourne's will had prevailed and Bryan had been elected who can say that there would have been today a strong, Invincible republican party In Oregon to honor him for his perfidy, The legislative session of 1895 was the most 'spectacular In the history of Oregon and tho King Pin of that ses sion was J. Bourne Jr., whose mal odorous record Is even yet a stench In the nostrils of decent people. With a goodly supply of money and other cor rupting Influences tho trick of thwart ing the will of the people and debauch ing the honor or the citizenry was the special mission of this political monte bank, who, now, ten short years after, ward, has the brazen affrontery to seek this high and honorable position at the hands of the party, whose murder he conspired to bring about. In the light of the past record of Mr. Bourne, who is so unsuspecting as to trust him In the future7 Does any. ono who knows him, save his hired henchmen, think for a minute that he can be depended upon to stand up for republican principles and policies In the United States senate, and to up hold the hands of life-long, true and tried republican leaders In that body, and to "stand pat" with the party's matchless leader, wnose profound stateman, patriot and humanitarian since the days of Lincoln Theodore i Roosevelt I Our Block Is complete.
