y Ore(tn"s Fornitr Senators Have
Ml No Tirrw Been Worthy
of Stat.
' "I'hat OifRon, prior to the adoption of
h-amndmTit to its constitution giving
''loathe people the right to express their
choice "for T Cnited States S.-nator. was
.- represented by men who neither morally.
K-ielly or politically represented the t-st
thvjrhts or morals of the people of the
tat, was the Indictment of Oregon po'-i-tk
lan made by Dr. Clarence True Wilson
in the perlude to liis sermon at ln
enarv CluiP-h last n'pht.
That Petition for Perjury" w the
nubjcct -of Ir. Wilson's remarks in the
course of which he said that the suprem
acy of the people whs the foundation of
the Government. The riRht of self-government,
lie said, was vested In the peo
ple by the Constitution, although the
framers of that document were criticised
mildly for hedfcinn" in that they with
held from the people the rtht to elect
their presidsnt and United States Sena
tors bv direct vote, although the right
was reserved to them to elect all other
fifTtcers. including Representatives In
C'ongreas.
Discusslnr tha pledge to which State
ment members of the legislature sub
aorfbed prior to their election. Dr. "Wilson
Mid, in part:
It ) lnterestlns that the only two til
Misr mad. br th. founder, of our Na
tion wore the two that were to limit th.
i.eople right of .elf-roverrunent. The nrt
on. hu ben corrected by common consent
ihrourh custom, naineiv. by the practical In
struction, of the Presidential elertur. as to
i-vhoro they aro expect.d to vot. for, and
they mould not d.re lirnore tht Instruction.
an vr com. hom. asaln. And now O-e-
the election of Senator, out of th. filth
political ring, that ha. too long controlled,
and 1st th. overign people ray who .hall
represent th.m tn th. highest branch of
government.
Th. people of Oregon hv. put their hand
to the task and will never let go. They
have voted upon about :lll bills through th.
Initiative and referendum, and they hav
neither erred or blundered yet. They have
thrice made iholce of their own man for
Senator, and ftiry will not allow th. pol
luted hands of any political machinist to
touch th.lr Ark of the covenant, the Integ
rity of popular government. In an open
light. In a fr. Held, they turned down Pulton
because they preferred Cake. In the .lec
tion they defeated Cak. because th.y pre
ferred Chambrlaln. And, party or no party,
politician or no politician, th. peopl. pro
pose to have the peoples choice and to deal
with the men who dar. to sell them out, or
betray their trusts.
Whenever an American citizen voluntarily
goes before his fellow rltixens and asks for
their suffrage on a comtltloual promise that,
if elected, they will do certain things, that
promise la as sacred and Important to th.
Integrity of government as a compulsory
oath administered In a court. To betray the
trust Imposed In on. who Is thus elected Is
perjury of the blackest type: It is securing
votes fmore sacred than money under false
pretenses; It Is treason to the very heart of
our form of government.
I shall pity the poor weakling who sel's
himself to go back on his constituents. H.
is a mer shadow, too frail to bear th.
sirsln of carrying through a sacred trust,
ircapahle of being true under temptation:
But those-who resort to political combina
tions and circulate petitlona and sign them,
calculated to make th. peoples' representa
tives betray them, to procure p.rjury from
th.m by making It easy for them to flolate
their pre-eltlon promleea. to entire th.m
at this lat. dar after being elected on State
ment No. 1. to put tha ahort-aighted inter
est of their party ahead of their woro of
honor and tb- rights of th. people these ar.
th. corrupters of mankind. Against them
the pulpits should thunder, th. prewi should
sound the ..arm. and every true hearted
man should denounce this open efTort to
prostitute free government to treason and
dirty politics.
