2. That said Masa Convention resolve
as follows, to-wit:
'To the voters of Washington County
in Mass Meeting assembled
We, your committee on platform and
resolutions would beg leave to make the
following report;
hereas, heretofore the people of the
State of Oregon by a large majority at
the general election passed and adopted
what is known as the Primary Election
Law. Together with the Initiative and
Referendum and what is termed as State
ment No. 1. The said Statement pro
vides that candidates nominated for the
offices of State Senator and Representa
tives may obligate themselves to support
for U. S. Senator such party as shall re
ceive the largest popular vote for that
oince at the previous general election.
And whereas, said law has been tested
and found beneficial as the Senators
elected under and by virtue of said law
were duly seated m the U. S. Senate.
And whereas, we believe and maintain
that the U. S. Senator should be elected
by the direct vote of the people and that
Statement Xo. 1 of the Primary Law is
the most accessible manner of obtaining
this result under our present constitution.
And whereas, it is the sense of the vo
ters of Washington County in mass meet
ing assembled that any political party
that places in nomination candidates for
representatives unpledged to this State
ment is not representing the desire or
wellfare of the people
Therefore, be it resolved that the as
sembly be hailed, known and placed
upon the official ballot as the Indepen
dent Statement No. I Party. And the
nominees pledge their vote and support
for the people's choice for U. 8. Senator.
