None of the candidates ' for the United
States Senatorshlp in Oregon has yet
come forth from the woods In compliance
with the direct primary law, which aims
to take the selection of that officer away
from the Legislature and to give it to
the people In the nominating primaries,
thereby preventing "still hunts" for the
job and requiring aspirants to show their
physiognomies In the open.
The candidates so far are all unknown;
that is they have not Introduced them
selves' to the public. But several have
.become known as having the bee
in their bonnets, through their political
affiliations and through their poses be
fore the public at various times; at least,
their actions have given rise to strong
suspicions that they are nursing the fire
in their bosoms, but keeping the smoke
out of sight They will, no doubt, deny
that they are candidates, but they are
not losing opportunities to make polit
ical strikes.
Will they be forced into the limelight?
Can they stay under cover and escape
the charge of defeating the direct pri
mary law?
Furthermore, will not the man who re
ceives the Republican primary nomina
tion be recommended over his defeated
primary rivals and over those aspirants
who may stay out of the primaries, by
the Republican convention, which Is to
bo held after the primaries, "to ratify all
nominations made by the people for State
offices," according to the convention call
made by the Republican reunion, held in
Portland October 12?
Plnn New Uaw Intends.
The direct primary law Intends that
candidates for the Senatorshlp. Repub
lican and Democratic, shall be nominated
tho same way as candidates for other
state offices by the electors of each party
at the primaries that the nominees shall
be voted for In tho general election and
that the legislators shall elect tho "peo
ple's nominee" and none other. For ex
ample, the Republican members of the
next Legislature, who doubtless will con
trol that body against the Democrats will
elect, if true to the direct primary law,
that man Senator whom tho Republicans
of the entlro state shall have chosen at
the primaries next April. The Legisla
ture will meet in regular session in Jan
uary of the following year.
Senatorial elections in Oregon have
made Legislatures carnivals of political
intrigue and jobbery; engendered po
litical feuds which have split the Re
publican party in twain; resulted in
choice of men who, daring not to go
"before the 'people, have sneaked into
the office through chicanery and fraud
in short, made endless turmoil and
given the people Senators whom they
'did not want. This is the record of Sen
atorial elections in other states, too, but
the resultant bitterness and public dis
appointment in Oregon have been
equaled "in few commonwealths and
surpassed in none.
To abolish this turmoil and secure
the choice of Senators to the people,
the electors of Oregon enacted the di
rect primary law, in June 1904, by a
vote of more than ttoree to one. The
Senator who shall succeed John II.
Mitchell, March 4. 1907, will bo the first
elected under the law.
, Reticence of Candidates.
The man who is to win the" Senatorial
toga now in possession of Mr. Mitchell,
must, therefore, go before the people
in the primary election and defeat rival
aspirants, if the new Jaw is to be ob
served. When will they reveal them
selves to the people? Not one has yet
done so. If they plan to obey the law.
they must come from under cover be
foro primary day next April, five and
one-half months hence. -
But there is a manifest reluctance
among them to come out; most of themi
would prefer to etay in the dark, ignore
the law and let the Legislature elect
"by the old method. All this they would
deny, nowever, if accused of it. But it
is admitted on all sides that most of
tnem harbor a lingering belief that the
primary nomination method for United
States Senators will fail or be Ignored
by the Legislature, for it should be un
derstood that the primary law does
not take from the Legislature the con
stitutional power of that body to choose
Senators; only provides a way whereby
that body may be impelled by force of
public sentiment, to elect a man whom
the people shall nominate at the pri
maries.
Multnomah's Membership.
The direct primary law aims to impel
candidates for seats in the Legislature to
pledge themselves, it. nominated and
elected, to support in the Legislature the
man for United States Senator who shall
receive the most votes at the general
election next preceding the election of a
Senator. Such candidate, cannot, how
ever, be constitutionally required to make
this pledge, and the only way of forcing
it from them is through pressure of pub
lie sentiment. On the primary ballot
they have the option of promising either
to vote in the Legislature "for people's
choice for United States Senator" or not
to vote for "people's choice," or of mak
ing no promise whatever.
Multnomah County will elect 15 mem
bers of the Legislature next June and
will have 20 out of 90 votes in that body.
The candidates for the Republican nomi
nations to those 15 seats, can promise on
particular man for Senator, but only for
the "people's choice." or they can prom
ise not to vote for the "people's choice,"
or they need make no promise at all.
Therefore the only way for the followers
of Mr. Wilcox or Mr. Mills or Mr. Fenton,
for example, to pledge legislative candi
dates to their respective Senatorial candi
dates is to make their respective candi
date the '"people's choice,"
The two promises, as their form is pre
scribed by law, are as follows:
Statement No. 1 "I further state to the
people of Oregon, as well as to the people
of my legislative district, that during my
term of office I will always vote for that
candidate for United States Senator In
Congress who has received the highest
number of the people's votes for that po
sition at the general election next pre
ceding the election of a Senator in Con
gress, without regard to my individual
preference."
Statement No. 3 "During my term of
office, I shall consider the vote of the
people for United States Senator In Con
gress as nothing more than a recom
mendation, which I shall be at liberty to
wholly disregard, if the reason for doing
so seems to me to be sufficient."
Leading Republican Candidates.
That the people's choice will be a Re
publican goes without saying, and Dem
ocrats universally concede it.
Of the Republican booms, the most fre
quently mentioned are those of T. T.
Gcer, ex-Governor, and T. B. Wilcox,
president of the Portland Flouring 2IU19,
who represent, respectively, the old-time
Simon-anti-Mltchell faction, and the Fulton-Matthews-Carey
element, though the
division lines between the two men do not
everywhere follow those precise factional
courses. But that the two are in rival
camps Is manifest, and there is comity
bordering on cooperation between Sena
tor Fulton and Mr. Wilcox, aided by rem
nants of the Matthews-Mitchell machine.
Allied with the same interests is W.
D. Fenton, legal counsel for the South
ern Pacific, who Is recipient of a boom
let of his own, which was expanded by
his activity in the Republican reunion of
October 12, but who has said that he fa
vors the candidacy of Mr. Wilcox. An
other candidate, belonging to the same
camp, is A. L. Mills, president of the
First National Bank, and still others are
H. W. Goode, president of the Portland
General Electric Company, And Jonathan
Bourne.
It will be noted that all the foregoing
men except T. T. Geor belong to the
'financial and corporation element of
Portland. Their interests are mare or
less allied -and they profess admiration
of Mr. Wilcox. -
L. R. Webster Counts" Judge, has been
boomed for Governor several months, but
he' is said to have shifted his gaze to the
Senatorshlp recently. Dr. Andrew C.
Smith has been mentioned frequently for
the Governorship, but has been reluctant
to enter thr race for that office and now
is talked of for the Senatorshlp. Malcolm"
A. Moody Is boomed both for Representa
tive In Congress and for Senator, but has
not announced which of the two he will
try for. Stephen- A. Lowell is reported
from Pendleton to be disposed to try for
the Senatorshlp.
Public Contest Is Inevitable.
It would seem that the Republican con
tention, to be held after the primaries.
perhaps early in May. will strengthen the
new election method and that it may
establish the new system. That some one
or more candidates for the Senatorshlp
will seek the primary nomination and go
on the primary ballot is not to be doubt
ed, and that the nominee of the pri
maries will be indorsed by J.he convention
is altogether probable; indeed it is diffi
cult to see how that outcome can be
avoided. This will compel the candidates
to make their fight before tho people.
But the question then arises, will the
Legislature elect the "people's choice" or
will it revert to Its constitutional privi
lege and pick a Senator by the old meth
od? This will depend on whether a ma
jority ,of the members or tho Legislature
can be impelled to pledge themselves in
the primaries to support the "people's
choice." It is quite manifest that there
are aspirants for the job who would seek
election from tho Legislature, but not
nomination from the people.
CROWD IS ENTHUSIASTIC
Klamath County People Cheer tho
Visiting Speakers.
KLAMATH FALLS? Or., Nov. 5. (Spe
cial.) The irrigation ratification celebra
tion held here Saturday afternoon was

ordering tho placing of bids for "the con
struction of the first ten miles of the
Klamath irrigation project that time and
again the speakers were compelled to
await the subsiding of the cheers from
more than 1000 throats.
