The interview in The Oregonian Sun day and the editorial following, con cerning a coming or get-together of the Bull Moosers and Republicans for the purpose of agreeing upon Presi dential timber satisfactory to all fac tions of both Bull Moose and Repub lican elements, contained statements calculated to arouse a spirit of activity In the minds of all who rejoice in party success and believe in party dis cipline and good leadership. Mr. Clark said the declaration of Justice Hughes declining to permit the use of his name as a Presidential can didate eliminates him from considera tion and your editorial was to the effect that Mr. Barnes and Mr. Roose velt both must be pushed aside as po litical pilots. Mr. Roosevelt, belong ing to another than the Republican party, probably could not expect, and his name would not receive, serious consideration among real Republicans, but the declination of Mr. Hughes at this time will not be taken seriously, in case the use of his name would pro duce accord and insure success, for once nominated his acceptance would be assured, taking past history as a guide in such matters; but there are others. Others who are probably equally capable and as well versed in statecraft. Senator Robert M. La Follette re fused to leave the party when his choice in the Chicago convention went to the wall. He has as yet not de clined. He is able and. while regarded by many as radical, with responsibil ity, is conservative. He was on the ways and means committee that draft ed and presented the McKinley tariff bill that was followed by Nation-wide prosperity. He was McKlnley's ripht hand man in the preparation of that great measure and at the request of its author made a speech on the floor of the House In behalf of the same. He believes in a tariff law so framed that the protection aforded American manu facturers shall equal the difference in the cost here and abroad. He is progressive and ought to be satisfac tory to the Bull Moose element provid ing the spirit of conciliation is to gov ern and the personal hatred of a few Individuals not to rule or be the se lecting force. He carried Multnomah County against Mr. Rosevelt. which would Indicate that he has earnest friends and active supporters here. He could defeat President Wilson if nom inated. If the Republicans of Oregon are to work for some man outside the state, why not La Follette? We must yield something for com promise if we are to succeed. ' But why not a home man why not Oregon to the fore with a candidate? "Ask and ye shall receive; knock and it shall be opened unto you." Why not ask the Oregon voters to select dele gates favorable to an Oregon man and then knock at the doors of the Na tional convention for an Oregon son? Jonathan Bourne did more at the last state election to produce harmony and to heal old sores than any one man in the state. He contributed more than liberally for the success of the party and wrote letters calculated to bring all warring factions Into line and did much towards paving the way for just such a meeting as you suggested in your editorial. Soon, comparatively speaking, we will have a United States Senator to select. Senator Lane is not an easy man. to overcome. To do so there must be harmony in the Republican ranks and a strong candidate before the people. There are several whose names now are on the lips of voters. With harmony prevailing. Judge Mc Ginn, Senator Fulton, Dan Malarkey or Senator Mulkey could win and with division in the Republican ranks a Democrat would continue to hold. With Bourne put forward as a Pres idential candidate Oregon would be gainer and a harmony movement com menced that would lead to Republican unity In the Pacific Northwest, which probably would give Oregon represen tation on the Presidential ticket and make Republican sailing safer. I sugrgest-the foregoing as a starter In the "Get-together movement." D. C. LEWIS. New Ileal tli Officers Named. CENTRALIA, Wash., May 22. (Special-) Henry Layton has resigned as health officer of Toledo and Dr. F. J. Hackney has been appointed by the Town Council as his successor.
