THE PEOPLE MUST ELECT THE SENATORS.
'. i , i . j - i - .
'-T N RATHER an interestina case of special pleading
the Oregoniari takes up the consideration of pledge
No. 1. under which candidates for the legislature
pledge themselves, in the event of their own election,
' to abide by tha popular choice for United State tenator.
-Ia It, atrangely. enough; it tec a. dead) blow, aimed., at
tha poiitfeal psrtle. Brushing aside for the time being
a consideration of. the question whether or not even
.t political parties are aacred from the onslaught of the
people, h it quite evident, as usual, that when the ques-
, tion arises whether or not the. people shall .rule, the
. Oregon iaa ia opposed to all progress ia that direction.
. - The' direct primary law, 'however, doea not seek to
destroy political parties ; on the contrary; it gives them
, special recognition, and this is the only phase of the bill
1 that haa been received with some criticism by the people
who have lately grown wonderfully indifferent to party
:- names. - Tha billr provides , the fullest acopa to party
activity. It begins with the registration, where it pro
, vides that In order to vote at the primaries a man must
register hit politics. In the primaries r eliminates tha
.. : party bosses and machines by providing that primaries
be safeguarded as carefully as any election. - As a result
of the vote at the prtmHtie tome one Republican re
ceives a plurality of the.' votes -cast; tie is then the
- -nominee of the' party for United States senator and his
'"' name goes .on the ballot precisely the same at the name
v, of any candidate, for i any other, office, r The result is
. precisely the same in the case of the Democratic, Pro
hibitionist or Socialist aspirants, - All these candidates
then make their cartipaigns before the voters aa do .other
-' ' candidates, their names on the official ballots, and the
man securing the plurality of all the votes cast is the
cnoice ot tne people...',', r- ; - ;;( . . '". :. ;'.'
( There then remaina bat one thing to be done and
that is for the legislature to ratify the will of the people
Under the constitution the senator ia elected by a vote
of the legislature, but why should not the legislature,!
expreased themselves. why should it be any mora than
a matter caform afterward? In all other respects we
bow to theovili of the people; why not hv this? The
Journal believes jn a fair show for everybody. . It be
lieves in the people and hopes to see them exercise
many of the power which- ihey ' have unwisely con
ferred on ftieir agents and which have been usurped by
the political bosses and machines. If they will insist
Upon pledge No. ) and if they refute to elect any tnan
to the, legislature, no matter whom, that faila-to sign
it they have made a long ttep forward in tha achieve
ment of a monumental reform which will not only give
them the" man they want for tenator, but which will m

a whole and make of it a representative body Instead

to be. r -,....-' 5 y'M '".:'..'( " v;
