There are "71 new legislative members to ba elected, in June. . .-. Tha direct primary nominating elec tion law In Its provision for tha election of state legislative candidates, reads as -xotiows: ' "In case of an elector seekinar nomlna tlon for the office of senator or repre- seniative m tha legislative assembly. he may include one of tha following two statements In his petition; but If he does not do so. the secretary f state or county clerk, as tha case may be. shall not on that account refuse to file his.

"If the candidate shall be unwilling to-sign the above " statement.' then he mayTilgn-the- following statement aa a part ornrs Tetitiun: " ,..... anatawamt S. -""Durln my term of office I shall consider tha vote of - tha people for United States, senator ..In., congress aa nothing more than a recommendation, which I shall ba at liberty to wholly disregard, If tha reason for doing so soems to ma la ba suf iicient." " Thus 4 provided a method for tha crystallisation of publio opinion aa that legislative candidates can be - made to realise the ImposaiBlllty of fhelr election unless they first subscribe to- statement one. if 4 or tha TB legislative mem bers elected In June have been forced by publio opinion, or by their personal convictions,, to so subscribe, then they will be forced by their pledge to elect the United States ' senators whom the people of tna state selected In the gen eral election in June aa their choice.

'. i I venture tha assertion that 0 "per cent f tha-voten--of -Oregon -favor- an amendment to tha United Statea consti tution permitting the aleotton af United States senators by the direct vote of tha people. Every advocate of such amend ment. If intelligent and sincere, must equally favor the rigid enforcement of Statement No. 1 without any qualifica tion, for thus a method is provided by which the legislature, if 41 or more of Its members .have . subscribed to state ment Nov.: V must- elect .tha men. for United States senators whom tha people have delected aa yelr choice. --" - ' Tha election of Q statement No. 1 legislative candidates' must appeal to thoughtful men as tha complete elimina tion of eorruDtion. coercion and dishon orable- methods -la- United Statee.eana from political," financial aad official en- tanglements can more readily be found I among au momoers tnan among a amaxier number-if the election -of- aenators- ba confined only to the members represent ing a dominant party. 4 , ' Vtuaeel eaaaa Ttaaanr Tha state treasury will ba protected from unmerited appropriations which In past United Statea senatorial elections have so often been made for the sole purpose of securing votes for United Statea senatorial candidates. Statement No. completely enfranchises the peo ple; It destroys the political boas, tha corryptlonlst and tha ' special privilege class. .It allows tha people to--select U nl tea states senators and forces the members of the legislature In subscrib ing to statement No. 1 to elect the peo ple's selections. Every cltlsen. desirous of a United Statea constitutional amendment pro viding for the election of United Statea senators by a direct vote of the people must be equally desirous of . the rigid enforcement of statement No. 1 without aoallflcatlon. Reference to the extract from our primary law, quoted before herein, will ahow any. thoughtful reader tnat-ffis1aw does not provide -for any qualification of statement No. 1, and Intends- that all legislative candidates shall either by iubacrlblng to state ment No. 1 'designate their willingness to abide by the will of the people or else by subscribing to statement No. I or making no statement whatever, express' their unwillingness to abide by the pop ular will. . Object Xs aTattoaal. ; The object aought by the enforce ment of statement No. 1 la not mere ly local. It Is also national. It points the way by which one state after an-, other may similarly elect Its United States senators, until the United Statea eenate a hall contain a sufficient num ber ef members In effect elected by a direct vote of the people . who would favor an amendment to tha federal con- tlftitlnn .rAVMInv far tha jtlau-HM.
