IS NOT BINDING
Fulton Says Pledges Obtained
Through Bad Faith.
ANSWERS COVERT ATTACK
Anonymous Circular Taken Up and
Denounced as Cowardly Chal
lenges Author to Make Known
Identity and Fight in Open.
FOrtEST GROVE. Or, Oct. 7. (Spe
cial.) Before an audience of BOO, Unit
ed States Senator Fulton spoke in Ma
sonic Hall tonight on the political is
sues of the campaign. Besides making
an eloquent presentation of issues sup
ported by the Republican platform and
a convincing arraignment of the poli
cies of Bryan and his party. Senator
Fulton devoted himself to answering
an anonymous circular addressed to him
and with which the town was flooded
before the rally tonight.
These circulars created no little ex
citement, as they consisted of a series
of questions directed at Senator Ful
ton and which; by inference, reflected
on his political career. This excite
ment was increased when Senator Ful
ton said In his speech that he under
stood that the circulars had been given
out by the Democratic state chairman,
Alex Sweek. The Senator character
ized the attack made upon him as cow
ardly in the extreme, and challenged
the author or authors to make known
their identity.
Although asserting that anonymous
circulars of this character were un
of notice. Senator Fulton said
fthat he would answer the questions
contained In them, and proceeded to do
so. branding as false all the implied
charges against him.
"Would a Statement No. 1 member of
the Legislature go back on his pledge
without a cash consideration or a
promise of office?" was the substance
of one of the questions put to the Sen
ator, while he was also asked his posi
tion on the statement-
In reply the Senator said that he had
not announced himself either for or
against the Statement, but that be did
not believe In a violation of the Fed
eral Constlttulon. As to whether a
member should violate his pledge to
the Statement, the Senator called at
tention to the fact that these pledges
were made believing that the direct
primary law would be kept In good
faith. In consideration of the whole
sale fraud that had crept in by Demo
crats registering as Republicans, he
considered the pledges of legislators as
no longer necessarily binding.
