FOLLOWS SPEECH BY CAKE
Legislator Takes Stand Against Sen
atorial Candidute'8 Defense of
Primary I,aw-M. C. George
Delivers McKlnley Oration.
Judste 31. C. George -was tlie leading
speaker at the fourth annual smoker of
the Union Republican Club held last
night In Selling-Hirsch Hall, the occasion
being the celebration of President McKin
1 ley s birthday. The other speakers were
H. M. Cake and C. W. Hodson, and while
the assembled Republicans cheered to the
echo the eloquent address made by Judge
George, they became even more deeply in
terested In the phase the meeting as
sumed following the speech made by Mr.
Cake and Mr. Hodson. Mr. Cake has
announced his candidacy for the United
states Senate, and last night indorsed
Statement No. 1 without reserve. A few
minutes later State Senator Hodson spoke
declaring that lie would, not vote for or
support in the primaries a candidate who
nubsorlbed to that statement, though he
would vote for Republican nominees.
The emphatic announcement made uy
Senator Hodson, coming as it did. upon
the heels of Mr. Cake's vigorous Indorse
ment of the primary law and Statement
No. 1, will give the politicians something
to talk about from now until the end of
the campaign now opening. Mr. Cake,
while he admitted that the primary law
was defective and that he was in favor
of having it amended, urged that the
changes be made by the Legislature, and
not by men who sought to violate the
spirit of the law and shield themselves
behind Its defects.
"I have heard a great deal about a
lack of Republican organization." said
Mr. Cake, "and I have heard the blame
placed upon the direct primary law, but
. I do not believe the primary law Is re
' sponsible. We have seen a Democratlo
Governor elected under the old system,
and we have seen other Democrats
elected to office under the old regime,
so I say It Is not because of the primary
law that Interest in the Republican
party has waned. It is because Repub
licans became sick and disgusted with
the kind of men who ruled the politics,
and the kind of men who were elected
to office.
Law Should Be Upheld.
"We should not fight this law; we
' should build up the Republican party
under the existing laws. It Statement
9 No. 1 Is the drawback that many say it
Is. the proper place to have that part
of the primary law changed is before
the Legislature. It was because, the
people became so disgusted with the
manipulations and deals that were
made by a few men for their own ben
efit that gave us the primary law. I
believe that a United States Senator
should be chosen by the people, and
for that reason I am in favor of the
primary law and for Statement No. 1."
Mr. Cake did not hesitate to say
that the fact was well known that
the majority of the men now in the
United States Senate were owned by
the corporations, and were controlled by
them and not by the people.
Senator Hodson followed Mr. Cake, and
without preliminaries launched his at
tack on Statement No. 1. He answered
the much mooted question. What Is a
Republican? He said that he did not
wish to appear wiser than any one else,
but thought he could answer the ques
tion by saying that his Idea of a Repub
' lican was a man who voted the Repub
lican ticket and supported Republican
principles, and supported and voted for
the Republican nominees, regardless of
factional differences.
"I, too. have heard." said Senator Hod
son. "that the Republican party is in
distress. We have been in distress, but
it is because we have been following
false gods, and one of them is Statement
No. 1, 1 want to say right here and Mr.
1 President. I don't want to seem per
sonal that I will not support a man at
the primaries that will subscribe to
Statement No. 1. Nor do I think any
other Republican will, for I think most
of them, like myself, do not believe In
electing Democrats to office. We can't
build up the Republican party by sub
scribing to something that will elect
Democrats to office.
Legislature Is Powerless.
"Yon have heard that the way to rem
edy the defects in the primary law is
to bring thorn to the attention of the
legislature. I served in the Legislature
when an attempt to change was being
made, but we were warned to keep our
unholy hands off a holy law."
Senator Hodson declared that it was
not the intention of the framers of the
primary law to have Statement No. 1 In
the law, and that it was "slipped in."
Judge George's eulogy on McKlnley was
a masterful effort and was listened to
with interest . throughout. The meeting
was the largest ever held: in the history
of the club. Judge George told of his
personal acquaintance with McKinley and
of having served with him in Congress.
He reviewed the martyred President's ca
reer from the time he entered the Army
up to the time of his death and referred
to him as the greatest statesman of the
! age. When Judge George spoke of the
policies that McKinley had stood for, and
saldi they had been followed out by Roose
velt and "would be followed out by our
next President, William Taft," there was
tremendous applause.
public mind the fact that he was the pe
culiar representative of that idea. No- other
candidate stood upon that platform, and
most either ignored or opposed it. The re
sult was that, speaking roug-hly. Mr. Bourne
received 1.1.000 votes out of a total of 4:1,000
Republican votes polled. Of these probably
at least one-third were cast by Populists
who became Republicans to assist the man
who bad allied with them politically In
earlier years. Another ' third came from
the almost perfect organization which he
had developed over the state, leaving per
haps 4O0O Republican votes which -went to
him because he typified the new dispensa
tion a government without a party, or a
party without a principle.
Iet me not be misunderstood. 'While I
oppose Statement No. 1. I am In favor of
the maintenance of the direct primary and
have no sympathy with the attacks upon it.
It is the people's caucus and is right.- It has
ended the rule of the boss and the control
of the machine. Amendments are requisite
limiting the expenditure of money by candi
dates and providing for the choice at each
primary election of delegates to a state
party convention, which shall adopt a dec
laration of principles and perform such
other duties as party organization may re
quire, such as the selection of delegates to
National conventions and the designation of
Presidential electors. when the law has
been thus perfected it may not be beyond
criticism, but It will -so far surpass the sys
tem which Is supplanted that assuredly
none will seriously advocate Its abandon
ment. But Statement No. 1 Is no part of the pri
mary law. Its acceutance or rejection af
fects neither the letter nor the sDlrit of
that enactment In any particular, but re
lates solely to the choice of United States
Senators. It Is an addenda to the law. per
mitting candidates for legislative honors
to malte this statement if their so desire,
but whether they make It or not Is unim
portant so far as 'the operation of the pri
mary law Is concerned. Many men seem
to sunnort the statement In the mistaken
belief that opposition to it means disloy
alty to the principle for which the direct
primary stands. Such Is not the fact. In
deed, the statement In Itself Is In con
travention of the spirit of the law. be
cause the preamble of the act declares.
"Under our form of government political
parties are useful and necessary at the
present time." while the effect of State
ment No. 1 Is to Ignore party and compel
perchance a Democratic Legislature to elect
a Republican United States Senator, or a
Republican Legislature to elect a Demo
cratic United States Senator an Incon
gruous and unnatural thing to ask or ex
pect so long as In this Republic we are
able to maintain what the fathers estab
lished, a representative form of govern
ment. If there Is nothing In party. If It Is with
out significance that men for more than a
hundred years have rallied around great
central governmental principles. If the two
baste Ideas of .government for which Ham
ilton and Jefferson stood are now mean
ingless, how happens It that the represen
tative men of the Nation upon the floors
of the two houses of Congress stilt divide
Into parties and seek to place upon statute
books legislation which reflects their respec
tive party views of t government? What
dldp It mean when recently Mr. Bryan
pleaded with the Kentucky Legislature In
secret sesslo.n to elect Governor Beckham
to the Federal Senate solely because he Is
a "Democrat? Why Is It that every four
years In National conventions assembled
delegates from all the states promulgate
two radically different platforms, and that
these upon election day find support from
nearly an equal proportion of the elector
ate? There 1c Just as wide a divergence be:
tween the parties today as there was when
Jackson and Clay led the opposing hosts,
and It is time that the voters of Oregon
roused to the situation and repudiated this
dangcrous.and emasculate dogma known as
Statement No. 1. No Republican, no Demo
crat. If loyal to his political faith, can
afford to sustain it. If there is to be an
-organization for it 'there should be an or
ganization against it- to the end that It
may be determined upon a scuare and
open Issue, whether or not political prlncl
pies are to be slaughtered In Oregon upon
the altar of a theory.
There is much at stake- for the plain
people, because it does not require a pro
phet to foresee that the enthronement of
Statement No. 1 in the election of a United
States Senator of one party by a Legis
lature of another would open a sepulchre
for the direct primary, and the battle for
political decency would have to be fought
again.
When the election of United States Sena
tors by direct vote of the people Is pos
sible, there will be no divided responsibil
ity, and the issue at the polls will be
clean cut. but so long as the Legislature
must elect, there the ultimate responsibil
ity rests, and the majority must be per
mitted to select a Senator who represents
the political views of that majority.
Permit me then to appeal to the Repub
licans of the state, in the name of Lincoln.
of Garfield, of McKlnley. for the mainte
nance of party principles In this common
wealth, and to every Republican legisla
tive candidate to Ignore Statement No. 1
and pledge himself to support for United
States Senator that member of his own
party whom the voters thereof shall aelect
at the polls. That Is reason and Is the
spirit of the direct primary.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION
The "No Party' Fallacy Statement
Xo. 1 No Part of Primary Iaw.
rKNDI.ETON. Jan. 57. (To th Editor.)
Tb primary campaign is about to open
and it aema that we are again to be serl
oimiy confronted with the Statement No. 1
chimera an excrenenee upon the primary
law to which fw voters gave consideration
hen the statute was adopted, and to which
men who recognize the historic, fact that
this Is necessarily Government of parties
muht be unalterably opposed.
An analysis of the situation will prob
ably demonstrate to considerate minds that
he trrcat majority of advocates of State
ment No. 1 In any community belong- either
to the minority party or to that body of
doctrinaire of whom our friend W. S.
l"Ren is a type, who have no permanent
political ties, who would abolish all parties
ami make thlB Government a pure democ
racy. That the mass of Republican voters
do not indorse Statement No. 1 is reasonably
manifest from the Senatorial primary vote
of two years ago. Mr. Bourne's campaign
rested upon that statement alone and his
several written appeals to the Individual
voters were Intended to Impress upon the
ACCEPT NO COMPROMISE
Lumbermen Willing to Stand on
Merits of Their Case.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. 29. (Special.)
That there 'Will be no compromise on the
rate question now before the Interstate
Commerce Commission as the result of
the action brought by the lumbermen to
prevent the new railroad rate on lumber
products from being placed In effect is
the declaration made today by C. F.
White, chairman of the Lumber Manu
facturers Commission.
The declaration was made In denial of
reports that the coming of James J.
Hill and Howard Elliott, of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific respec
tively. would result, among other things,
in a conference at which the lumber in
terests would propose arbitration and ac
cept a reduction of half the advance in
rates. This Mr. White declares Is pre
posterous, the lumbermen preferring to
stand on the merits of their contention
as it is at present.

When a man finds the true food
value of a preparation like Grape-Nuts,
It is no more than neighborly to tell it
to others.
"I should feel responsible, to a de

human suffering: were. I to wlthold
from others the knowledge of the bene
fits I have personally derived from the
use of Grape-Nuts as an article of
food.
Two years ago I began to, feel a

with constipation and vertigo, also

"Liver and stomach in bad condition,

trouble came I tried medicine without
help, but I gradually grew so weak I

Grape-Nuts food. At first I ate it
sparingly until I found it did not hurt
