HODS OPPOSES
PEOPIFSJISHES
Probable Candidate for State
Senate Has Use for
Statement No. 1.
A vigorous clash of political opinion
marked the celebration of McKlnley's
birthday by the Union Republican club
ast night, when It. M. Cake, candidate
for the United States senate, delivered
strong address In support of State
ment No. l, and C. W. Hodson. probably
candidate for the state senate from
Multnomah county, arraigned the prln-
iple and declared he would not sup
port any mail who favored the state
ment
The occasion of the addresses was the
fourth monthly smoker of the Union
club. The meeting was held In honor
of McKlnley's birthday and the prin
cipal speaker of the evening was Judge
M. C. Ueorare. who delivered a ratrlotlo
and stirring address In commemoration
of the martyred president.
atesnlt of Corruption.
Following Judge George, Mr. Cake
was called upon to speak and he at once
entered Into a discussion of tne policies
of the party and the outlook politically.
He treated the condition of the Repub
lican party and took Isaue with the ar
gument being made that the decline of
ita power waa the result of the direct
primary law or of Statement No. 1.
He contended that the primary law was
the result of old conditions which had
sickened the voters of the state of the
men who controlled politics and of the
officials whom these men put Into
power. Because of these corrupt poli
cies and conditions the people of the
state had arisen and adopted the pri
mary law.
The speaker contended that while
there were Imperfections in the primary
law the party should correct these
faults througn the legislature and live
up to the letter and spirit of the statute
which had been called for and waa sup
ported by the great masses of the peo
ple, ine voters 01 tne state nud de
manded Statement No. 1, and had done
so in order to give as near as possiblo
the direct election of United States
senators. Since the people desired di
rect election and primary nomination,
It was the duty of the leaders to rally
to the support of the principle which
had been adopted by the votes of the
party.
Hodson Against People's Wishes.
Mr. liodson picked up the gauntlet as
soon as it was thrown down by Mr.
Cake and proceeded at once to fluy the

been following false gods, and that one
of the idols waa Statement No. 1. He
further said that he would not support

Mr. Hodson said the legislature had

had been warned away, lie intimated
that Statement no. l was a Joker In the
