That the SpaM!:i? supporters plan to
work for his election Is evidenced by
the following statement, issued from
his Kau IIcko headtiuarters today:
"The election of A. 1. tfpaldliiff as
United States Sttnator seems an assured
fact. There are 40 Senators and 80
Assemblymen which means 1-0 on joint
ballot. Of these Senators 20 are hold
over Senators, leaving; 100 Senators and
Assemblymen to be elected. Out of
these 20 holdover Senators. 11 promised
Senator l.eroy A. Wright when he
filed SpaUllnir's nomination papers, that
they would vote for Spalding.
"This morning's dispatches show that
Spalding has carried 53 districts which
with the 11 votes of the holdover Sena
tors means 4 votes out of 120 on Joint
ballot, or a clear majority of four,
which means the election of Spalding
without doubt.
Thus, tn the Senatorial fight for a
successor to Senator Flint, a situation
has arisen which can be translated
only by the Legislature lisHf.
U'REN'S BILLSPLAN RAID

voters are up against may he realised
when It la remembered that In addi
tion to the four measures mentioned
herein. 2 others are presented to the
voters for their rejection or approval.
Jt Is the Intention of the Oregonlan.
from time to time, prior to election, to
present the principal features of ail the
Initiative measures.
laa I'reJuclU-e Invoked.
In the four People's Power TLeajrue
measures, one of the pronounced feat
ures, as heretofore pointed out. Is the
attempt made to rip open the purse of
the state. In the arguments presented
by the league on the proportional elec
tion scheme and on the primary elec
tion of national convention delegates, a
distinct appeal la made to class preju
dice, by Informing those persons whose
salaries or wages are now $3 a day or
leas that therein lies an opportunity
for them to get Into office.
In proposing to Increase the salary
cost of the Legislature iu per cent, or
from 910.mo to JKi.nOO biennially the
league says: "This amendment will be
approved or rejected by the voters who
get 93 a day or less. Four out of five
wage workers.tcai-hera and farmers of
Oregon do not make more than 93 a
day. These men can be elected by the
proportional sytem of elections, but
they cannot serve In the Legislature
for 90 a year.
The argument then estimates that a
ramildate spends 30 days In campaign
ing, worth li a day to him. $l"o In
campaign expenses, pavs $100 for living
expenses In Salem and loses 40 days
there at 93 a day. all at a cost of 3410.
for which he receives now $130.
Figure Are Juetlonod.
These figures are open to question.
If a man lias an acquaintance In his
district sufficient to give him a reason
j hie chance of election, he cun do all
the campaigning he requires after his
working hours and need spend nothing
like 9100 for campaign expenses, if he
has not such an acqualnance. SO days'
time and $100 In cash are far short of
sufficient to gain for him the office.
The man who has ability to earn no
more than $i a day. however otherwise
worthy, a a rule has not a sufficient
acquaintance In his district to secure
an election to the Legislature even
under the f re-for-all primary election
plan at present In use. and much less
so under the proportional scheme pro
posed by L"Ken and his followers.
There are doubtless exceptional men
and exceptional districts, but this will
be recognised as a rule.
But under the proportional scheme, he
whose acquaintance is limited would
h.ive not the ghos: of a show of elec
tion without evati ng the corrupt prac
tices act. spending iarve sum of money
and devoting a great dal of time to his
campaigning. Once nominated, the per
son seeking office under the proportional i
scheme finds every candidate of his own
party as well as every candidate of every
other party arrayed against him. in
his own party he pits Ms popularity. If ;
he is runni.rg for the Mouse, against 69 ,
other members of his own naity. and If
running for the Snat. against 29 other
nominees of his party. L'nder present
norma! party divisions, one-third of the
Republican candidal. for ths Legisla
ture would necessarily he defeated In an
election under the proportional plan. The
two-thirds of the candidate who would
be elected, would be those who had tr.e
the highest number of votes in their
party without reference to the votes
cast for democratic opponents, districts
or anything else.

method, voters In on p.irt of the state
may vote for candidates for the legisla
ture living In the farthest opposite con
fines of Oregon.
The Increase in legislative salary might
make running for legislative office a
stronger inducement for the $3 wage
earners, but the other features of the
scheme' would put such obstacles In their
way that representation In the legisla
tive body for them would be practically
impossible
Here may h mentioned a further
burden on candidates proposed tn the
direct nomination of party delegates
to national conventions. The latter
measure provides that In Presidential
years the general primary election in
Oregon shall be held 45 days before
the first Monday In 'June. Instead of
being nominated In the middle of Sep
tember, candidates every fourth year
would be chosen about April 15 and be
confronted by nearly seven months of
campaigning before the general elec
tion. In urging approval of the Inst men
tioned bill the People's Power League
again appeals to the wage-earners of
$3 and less a day and presents the
specious argument that because the
state will pay the delegates' expenses
to the convention, an opportunity Is
opened for any one, btg or little, to
participate In the convention selection
of party candidates for President and
Vice-President of the United States.
Drlegatcs Out of Pocket.
This bill limits the delegates' ex
penses to hut the fanners. In ap
pealing to the wage-earners, neglected
to embrace the argument contained In

expend $225 or more of money saved
from $3 a day wages for the privilege
of having their expenses paid to a na

"I can pay my own expenses and go

me If that wasn't what I had used for my
