In my opinion the nomination of
President Taft Is already made." said
Mr. rote yesterday. "President Taft
has about 276 delegates Instructed for
him at the present time. Last week
enough Taft delegates were elected In
the State of Michigan to insure control
of the state convention by the support-
era of the President.
Taft'a Strensth Folate Oat.
"The President's friends will dom
inate the Vermont convention by two
to one. and in Kentucky state conven
tion Taft will have delegates from all
but one district. Iowa is also in the
Taft column as a result of last week's
elections. "With the election of Taft
delegations from Pennsylvania and
Ohio, the nomination or the President
will be virtually assured.
"I understand reports have been gen
erally circulated throughout the West
that Ohio Is strong for Roosevelt. it
was before he announced himself.
Since then the most remarkable change
in public sentiment has taken place
that has ever occurred In my political
experience.
"The people of Ohio never thought
Rooteve't would announce himself as
a candidate, because he had said under
no circumstances would he accept an
other nomination. They were greatly
disappointed when he said he would
accept the nomination if it were ten-Tr-d
to him. This disappointment was
greatly intensified when he started out
to make a vigorous, not to .say vicious,
assault on President Taft and tiie tide
Is rapidly turning against him in Ohio.
"The Ohio state committee met about
ten days ago and Indorsed Taft. IT to 4.
Waller Rrown, who was chairman of
that committee and one of the shrewd
est politicians In the state, is the
Roosevelt leader In Ohio, but with all
his strategy he was only able to mus
ter three votes besides his own In the
state committee.
Big Victory far Taft Predicted
"The Congressional district in which
I reside Is said to have been the most
radical Roosevelt district In the state,
i.owever. the Congressional committee,
composed of two men from each county
In the district, met ten days ago and
Indorsed President Taft without a dis
senting vote. The Congressional com
mittee In Mr. Brown's own district has
Indorsed President Taft. I am confi
dent Taft will carry the State of Ohio
three to one at our primaries which
will be held May
'I have been In all sections of the
United States in this campaign. The
same influences have been at work in
nil sections. I find the same condi
tions throughout tiie West that I found
In the Kant, and especially in New Eng
land. The people think that Roosevelt
has not lived up to hla dot-trine known
as the 'square deal.' The American
people believe in that dctrine and
when any man violates it his action
wi' meet with public disapproval.
"But the change in sentiment
throughout the country is not due. en
tirely by any means, to a resentment
of Roosevelt's conduct toward his
former friend. The American people
always reflect before they vote. They
have been inspecting the public record
of President Taft. They are now study,
lr.g the achievements of his Adminis
tration. The more they look Into It
the better they are satisfied with it
Tart Said I Be Caafldeat.
"From the standpoint of substantial
ar.d lasting achievements, his Admin
istration will compare favorably with
tie best, and there in a growing sen
timent that if President Tart is ac-
rdd a vote of confidence and re
turned to the White House for four
years more, his Administration will be
ne surpassed by none In the history
of the Republic.
"I talked with the President last
Tuesday. He feels perfectly confident
of his renomlnatlon. He will enter the
'tampaign for re-election with a de
termination which is bound to win.
President Taft shows his real great
ness when In conflict with other great
men. It does not matter who the Dem
ocrats may nominate. Taft'a sincerity,
integrity and statesmanship will In
sjre his success In November.
The people of the Pacific Coast cer
tainly ought to appreciate the great
service President Taft rendered them
in securing the Panama-Pacific Expo
sition for saa Kranclsro. New Orleans
had the fight won until Taft -threw hla '
weight Into the balance for the West.
I ani In position to know what he did.
I liud intended to vote for New Or
leans. I have oil Interests and a rice
plantation In Louisiana. I had close
business relations with many Influ
ential men In that state. I had prom
ised them and also the Louisiana dele
gation that I would throw my vote to
New Orleans.
Taft Pleads far aa Fraarlae.
"Three days before the vote was
taken President Taft called me to the
hue House. He asked me why I In
tended to vote for New Orleans and I
told him ray reasons. He said he would
'Ike to have me change my vote to San
Pranclsco. He Informed me there ex
isted a delicate and diplomatic situa
tion with Japan which could be solved
hv giving an Francisco the exposi
tion. "Tha President placed the request on
hirh grounds of National and Interna
tional welfare. No member of Congress
should permit private Interesta to siand
between hJm and the public welfare,
so I asked tha Louisiana delegation to
release me from my pledge, so I voted
for San Francisco.
"President Taft called each member
of the Ohio delegation who had In
tended to support New Orleans and
made practically the same atatement
to each. I am absolutely certain that
had he not taken such deep personal
Interest in this matter, the contest
would have been decided In favor of

unequivocally straight Democratic
principles. To a departure from those
principles is attributed the present dis
organized state of the Democratic
party, a condition grievously deplored
by the Klick.
Statement No. 1 Is denounced a ruse
by which political hypocrites bid for
Donular favor without the slicntest in
tentlon of carrying that pledge into
execution. The Klick Is opposed to
woman suffrage and appeals to Demo
rrats in the primary election to aup
port Dr. Harry Lane for L'nited States
Senator instead of writinjt the name of
Senator Bourne on the ballots. The or
ganization commended Milton A. Miller
for retiring: from the Senatorial con
test. John M. Gearin was Indorsed and
recommended as the proper man to be
Indorsed by Oregon Democrats for
Vice-President.
With the exception of the plank on
woman suffrage, the platform approved

candidate for l'nited States Senator,
questions the consistency of the senior
Senator as a progressive as uhown by
his record. Mr. Selling points out and
makes the charge against Bourne that
in 1896, when Bourne managed the
Bryan campaign In this state against
McKlnley and later held up and defeat,
ed the organization of the Oregon Leg
islature, he (Selling) was contending
tor progressive legislation. It was In
that year, says ir. Selling in his let
ter, that Selling was elected State Sen
ator from thla county. As a candidate
for the office of Senator, Mr. Selling
advocated the enactment of a regis
tration law and the application of the
Australian ballot to primary elections,
reforms that have since been adopted
In thla state to the detriment of an op
pressive political muchine.
Aside from taking Bourne to task
for his checkered career us a progres
sive. Mr. Selling alleges that it was
due largely to Bourne's Inattention that
this state was deprived of its right
ful share of the (7,000,000 reclamation
fund.
Tariff Record Reviewed.
Bourne's tariff record, likewise, is
reviewed. Mr. Selling points out that
Bourne, while voting ulmost invariably
with Aldrlch, voted against protection
on wool, one of Oregon's leading prod
ucts, and for high protection on cotton
goods, manufactured in Bourne's cotton
mills In Massachusetts.
In hla letter to Mr. Selling, Senator
Bourne appropriated to himself credit
aa the pioneer, not only In the advo
cacy but in the support of progressive
measures.
Referring to the charge that he
spends all of his time at Washington
and does not keep In touch with his
constituency an3 the needs of the
state. Mr. Bourne made the defense in
his letter that he is Senator of the
United States and as such his official
duty haa to do with the country at
large rather than the state alone from
which he was elected.
Mr. Selling's Aaawer.
The answer of Mr. Selling to Bourne's
letter follows:
"My Dear Senator Tour letter dated
March 30 received, and in reply there
to, either your memory Is at fault, or
you have Intentionally omitted several
essential and pertinent statements that
were contained in a circular letter ask
ing an expression from the people of
Oregon regarding the Senatorshlp. Had
not the overwhelming number of re
sponses more than 14.000 indicated to
me that your retirement was desired
by the citizens of this state. I would
not have become a candidate.
"From the tenor of your letter I
judge you invite an argument relative
to the question or my early defense of
the people against bossism In Oregon.
You talk of your fight for the people's
direct laws of 1906. Do you remem
ber 10 years prior to that time, back
to 1S96. when you were engaged in
holding up the Legislature of Oregon
and preventing men from taking the
oath of office to which they had been
elected? Do you remember when you
were elected to the Oregon Legislature
on the Republican ticket and in the
same year managed Bryan's campaign
against McKlnley? You talk of your
undying devotion te 'principle.' What
principle' did you represent then? I
not only led the fight for Statement
No. 1 in 1908. but without my aid there
ould have been no Statement No. 1
ticket In Multnomah County. Realiz
ing that a principle was at stake. I took
up the fight, and contributed more
than any one person to Its success, not
excepting yourself.
Points to Record.
You question my leadership for pro
gressive principles when you know that
in IS SR. while you were holding up the
Legislature of Oregon I was fighting
for the establishment of the Australian
ballot at primary elections and a reg
istry law. both of whlrh have since
been adopted and have relieved Oregon
from oppressive machine rule. These j
are the basic measures upon which the
Oregon system is founded. I enclose
herewith a campaign card I used In
1S9S. Can you show such a card? Can

will indorse your political actions of

"You lay great stress upon the
money you have spent to further the
cause of Statement No. 1. Many of us
have contributed funds to assist in ad
vancing Statement No. 1, and other
progressive legislation, but we do not
go about the housetops shouting it.
You claim to represent the people of
Oregon, when in fact you received at
the primary election only 12,877 votes,
while more than 30,000 "Republicans
voted for the candidates opposing you.
Popular Choice Supported.
"I was opposed to the assembly of
1910; and opposed the candidates of the
assembly vigorously until the prima
ries were held. Being a Republican,
not a Democrat nor a make-believe, I
then supported the popular choice and
thereby carried out the letter and spirit
of the direct primary law.
"You run for office as Republican:
but, if you cannot dictate the candi
dates to the Republican voters, you
support their opponents. You hide your
efforts to destroy Republicanism under
a cloak of what you call 'principle,'
but your 'principle,' purely selfish and

tion of all else in order that you alone
may prosper.
"Defense of your absence from Ore

have given some time to the parcels

shall use my best endeavors to secure.
Is it not true that matters, not of state,
have caused you to neglect your visits

than five years ago, and we, .your con

you abuse the franking privilege and

Bourne's Letter.
Bourne's letter to Mr. Selling follows
Hon. Ben Selling: I am Informed
that eartv In February you sent all
registered voters In Oregon a letter
driariTiir that vou reDresent more near.
ly than I the interests of the people of
Oregon; that I am not a resident of
Oregon, having visited the state only
twice in lour years, ana inai you lea
the Statement No. 1 fight in Multno
mah frtnntv four vears ago.
I wish to cite a few facts in answer
to that opening declaration of your
Senatorial campaign. If it were true
that von led the fight for Statement No.
1 in 1908 it would be sufficient answer
to say that I led tne ngni ior bui le
nient No. 1 in 190S. two years earlier,
when the chief contest took place for
the establishment of this principle of
the Oregon system. However, It is
not true that you led the fight in 1908.
My records show that prior to the
opening of the 1908 campaign I sent
$700 to Multnomah County and 3700
to other parts of the state to be ex
pended In the campaign for Statement
No. 1 and I am Informed that a por
tion of this money was expended In
the effort to induce you to become a
Statement No.' 1 candidate, you having
refused to become sucn a canoiaaie un
til a petition had been circulated re
questing you to do so and then con
sented reluctantly. I cannot conceive
how anv man can term this "leader
ship." If the destinies of this Nation
In 1S61 had depended upon men who
had to be drafted rather than upon
those who volunteered, the Union would
have been overthrown Just as State
ment No. 1 would have been overthrown
in 1908. if the outcome had depended
upon your, character of "leadership."
BsHtrau Contest Recalled.
In 1910 you professed to be an op
ponent of assemblylsm. yet you sup
ported for election to the Governorship
Jay Bowerinan. the leader of the as
sembly movement, whose election be
cause of his "assembly nomination
would have been a calamity to the state.
1 opposed Mr. Bowerman because of his
method of nomination. The people re
jected him by a plurality of (000 votes,
notwithstanding the remainder of the
Republican ticket was elected by a
f plurality averaging about 30.000. This
s an official, mathematical demonstra
tion that I, rather than you, truly rep
resent tho people of Oregon. You were
one of that vacillating type of states
men who could denounce assemblylsm
before the primaries and embrace it
afterwards. With me, principles are
more important than parties or indi
vidual candidates.
You criticise me for remaining in
Washington during the recess of Con
gress. Both the advocates and oppon
ents of parcel post know that I re
mained here during the last recess In
order to gather data from foreign
countries on this important subject.
As a result the Senate postofflce
committee has the most complete in
formation of this character ever gath
ered In anv country. This work would
not have been done If I had gone back
to Oregon to look after my political in
terests. You profess to be an advocate
of the parcel post, yet opponents of the
parcel post are almost universally your
supporters and you condemn the very
acts of mine which are most likely to
Fecure the enactment of a satisfactory
parcel post law.
During tne same recess ot uongrcss
mv presence here enabled me to expe
dite negotiations for the acquirement
of the locks at Oregon City and I be
lieve my efforts prevented litigation,
which would have delayed the opening
of the locks for several years. If you
had been Senator you would not have
been here to attend to this important
work.
Ambitions Beyond Means.
In your statement in the publicity
pamphlet it is said that to you "there
is no state but Oregon." In that re
spect vou and I differ. While I am
primarily a Senator from, Oregon. I am
a Senator of the United States and it
is mv purpose so far as within my
power, to know and consider the rights
and interests of all the states as well
as my own. Because of my interest In
the entire United States I have endeav
ored to secure In other states the adop
tion of popular government laws which
have been so wisely enacted and so Ju
diciously operated in the State of Ore
gon. Work of this National scope
would not be unaenaicen oy a. man wn
boldlv announces that he knows no
state but Oregon. If my time and finan
cial resources would permit, I would
gladly extend my efforts in behalf of
the popular government movement be
yond the seas.
During my service here I have se
cured more favorable committee as
signments than have ever before been
held by any Oregon Senator. In con
junction with other members of the
Oregon delegation I have secured the
largest local appropriations the state
ha ever had. Mv work in National af
fairs has attracted to the state the most
favorable attention it has ever en
Joyed. I iilli sav to vou. as I have said to
Judge Lowell, that if you should be
elected to the Senate and should, in
your five years of service, accomplish
as much for Oregon as I have done, and
secure as strong committee appoint
ments and achieve as much for good
government by your work in Congress
and out, I shall advocate your re-election
upon the ground that you are en
titled to it as a recognition of service
well performed.

"At present the rates are such
that we cannot compete with Eastern

grades of lumber. When the canal is

nothing but the best In store for the

'Portland has ever been a leader In

vast and the owners of timber now
are realizing their chance to develop
their holdings. New railroads and
greater shipping facilities are demand
ed to meet the present business boom."
