THURSDAY
JUNE 4, 1908
JDUR MAKERS OF LAWS.
Voters throughout the state
r got u good view last Monday of
some of the beauties of the ini
tiative and referendum, andthe
confession was forced from
many of them that it didn't
look as pretty at eloe range as
it, did when held up to their
view at a distance. The' had a
chance to help make and un
make laws, and judging 03' ihe
comment made the' did not
find much pleasure in the job.
One voter expressed the ferl
ings of his hearers when tie said,
"By another election every voter
will have to have a lawyer and
take him to the voting booth
with him," and if he had said a
"a Philadelphia lawyer," he
wouldn't have been stating it
totj 6trongIy.
It was easj7 to observe that a
large majority of the voters' did
not understand the nature nl
main' of the questions submit
ted to them; that they tlid not
know the merits or demerits of
Lt various measures: .and that
v in many cases they voted yes
or 110, according as the' hap
pened to be in an affirmative or
negative frame of .jtnind. Fui)
a third of the voters'in this pre
cinct did not vote upon the
amendments at all, and wje be
lieve the average was larger
than that throughout the state.
It was not the fault of their 'in
telligence, but the fault of a
system which expects a man to
reason out and digest in th
b'nef space of time allotted for
voting, a mass of laws each one
of which would keep aii assem
bly of trained legislators wmug
ling for a period of 30 days.
And that is what it amounts to,
for not one in 30 of the voters
of the state has either the lime
or the inclination to read and
.sttidy the pamphlet issued by
' the state, giving the full text of
the measures upon which they
are to vote. With this kind of
a system it will not be surpris
ing if our statute books are
tilled with ''freak laws," while
many a wise and useful meas
ure linds its way to the legisla
tive graveyard.
State Election Returns
Complete returns from all
ooun ties in the state give Govern
or Chamberlain a majority of
about 1100 over Cake for U. S.
Senator. Multnomah county
gave Chamberlain 858 of this
majority, while the other 31
counties in the state gave him
250 majority. Congressman
I-Iawley in the First District
and Congressman Ellis in the
Second are each elected by large
majorites, and all Republican
nominess for state offices were
elected.
In the vote on the various in
itiative and referendum meas
ures, the returns show that with
the exception of the bills in
creasing pay of legislators, the
one increasing the number of
supreme judges, the one for
compulsory railroad passes, the
open town bill, and the wom
an's suffrage amendment and
single tax amendment, all the
measures submitted passed.
Woman's suffrage lost by a
large majority, probably 15,000.
Prohibition made large gains
.throughout the state.
ELECTION NOTES,
"B.illy" King, candidate for
re election for county treasurer,
got the full party vote in this
precinct, his vote being 135 to
27 for his democratic opponent.
Mis majority of 108 inxKutcher
was gratifying to his friends in
the precinct.
Hon. fl. M. Cake, republican
nominee for U. S. Senator, car
ried this precinct by a vote of
85 to 70 over Governor Chamberlain.-
In the 'county, how.
ever, Governor Chamberlain has
a majority oF about 225. And
this a republican county.
The equal suffrage amend
ment was lost in this precinct
by two votes, the vote resulting
in 7G for the amendment and 78
against. Every married man in
the precinct will probably tell his
wile that he was one of the stal
wart 70 if his wife happens to
be a suffragist.
Warren Brown, democratic
candidate tor re-election Uv
county cleik, received the larg
est vote in the county, his total
vote, being 1575. He had no
opponent for re-election except
the socialist candidate, who car
ried the socialist strength in the
county, and Warren's majority
was over 1400.
Riley Cook, democratic can
didate lor county school super
intendent, made a good race in
this precinct, receiving 114 votes
I to OS for his opponent. R. A.
Ford of isterd, but in the c6un
ty he was defeated by Professor
Ford by a majority in the
neighborhood of 150. Riley's
big vote from his neighbors in
this precinct was a compliment
which will take away the sting
of Lis iVfeai in the count v.
G. Springer, demociatic can
didate for State senator, earned
Kutcher precinct by a large
majority, the vote being 14G, to
37 for Dr. Merry man. The ma
jority of 109 was the largest
given any candidate in this pre
cinct over an opponent on either
the republican or democratic
ticket, and the result was a nice
compliment t-o Mr. Springer
from his home people. Mi.
Springer's majority in the coun
ty was about 300.
Frank Elkins' big vote in this
piecinot was an agreeable sur
prise to even his most enthusias
tic supporters. Out of 200 votes
cast he received 143, Conglelon
receiving 41 votes and the so
cialist 9 votes, giving Elkins a
plurality of 102 votes in the pre
ciuct. At Warmsprings he got
all the votes cast, 24 in mini her,
and at Lyle Gap he got 52,
to 4 votes for his opponent. A
hard fight was made against
Sheriff Elkins in this precinct,
but his home people have un
mistakably placed their Mump
of approval upon his adminis
tration in the past two years.
G. Springer Defeated
G. Springer, democratic State
ment No. 1 candidate for the
State Senate, was defeated in
the election in the 17th senato
rial district, the majority for
Dr. Merryman, the republican
candidate being 243 in the three
countiescomposing the district.
In Crook county Mr. Springer
received a large majority, car
ryingthe county by about 300,
although the registration show
ed the republican majority to
be 550 in this county. In Lake
county Mr. Springer also made
a big gain 011 the republican
majority, losing that county by
only S2 votes. Klamath coun
tv. however, guve a large ma
jority to the republican candi
date, Dr. Merryman, who is a
resident of Klamath Falls, the
majority in that county being
440. The vote by counties was
as follows:
Crook Lake Klfimath Total
Springer 98 2,2 56 '65&"
Merryman 643 294 962 1899
Merryman's majority 243
W. C. Oongleton, defeated
candidate lo.r sheriff, took occa
sion to vent his displeasure af
ter live election, last Monday
evening, by making the stsite
ment that the opposition of the
Madras Pioneer was a help to
him. He received 41 votes out
of 200 in this precinct, and if
there is any truth in his ill-natured
slur at the Pioneer, it will
hn interesting to speculate
where he would have gotten oil'
if lie had not had this alleged
help. The lesults do not show
that Mr. Cougleton had' very
much help from any source.
