SIS FOR STATEMENT NO. I
LAWS
Republican Candidate for United States Senator Gives
: , Reasons Why lie Believes Measure Should Be Sus
??: tained at Coming June Election.
$ 'VH. M. Cako has drawn up a platform
V all of his own making upon which he
' k tlie republicans of Oregon to, send
' ''ThUm to the United States ienato and In
f:' 'it he Indorses Statement No 1, postul
savings banks, primary election law, a
- vigorous pollc) of rerJannUlon of arid
lands, abolishment of trusts. and the ex
clusion of coolie Inbor among many
Other principles which lie tets out.
' Gives Two Reasons.
In declaring for Statement No. 1 Mr.
. Cake gives two reasons for 'doing so.
, First, because he believe It will do
tfftjr wltti the deals and deadlocks that
have prevailed in past Oregon legisla
tures at the election of United Btates
senators; and second, because It takes
the place of an amendment to the fed
fcral constitution providing for the elec
. tlon of United States senators by the
direct vote of the people.
Mr. Cake's platform follows:
:Jo the Republican Voters and People
Of the State of Oregon:

. iiumuimiuii m iam primaries on April

tor, lor the term beginning March 4.

'. upholding party principles, promoting
! good government, purity in public oi-
I rice and harmony In party efforts; un

ulirerences should be condemned.
"Control of the national affairs of this
" ' .country by .the Republican party will In
the future, as In the pant, Insure gen
; '. eral prosperity and grt'at economic and
commercial development. 1 am in most
- hearty accord with the policies of l'ies
. ident Roosevelt.
Maintain Primary Lw.
.'"-''"At no time la the history of this
. -state has there been so urgent a need of
; v i the attention and vigorous effort of a
loyal citizenship in the promotion of its
Interests, s As a state we are upon the
threshold of a great growth, of an era
of expansion along commercial and In
dustrial lines without precedent in the
annals of state building.
t "Much that is to be done In advtfhc
'Ing the interests of bur commonwealthl
, , must come from the federal government, I
' , . among the most Important of winch are
the reclamation of the arid lands wlth
, In the stele, the Improvement of our
, water-ways, the protection of our for
esta, and the proper regulation and con
i 1rol of transportation facilities. Our
..representatives in congress, charged
- .with the responsibility of these great
Interests, ahould be untiring in their ef-.-
torts to secure adequate appropriations
and proper legislation- insuring the rapid
, . and continuous growth of the state.
"The Oregon primary law should be
maintained. The nomination of candi
; dates for office by the people Instead of
through conventions tends to do awav

the controlling influence of special ln-
terests, to Purify and enhance the ef
ficiency of public service by making all
omciais responsioie. jot tne adminlstra
: tlon of their offices directly to the peo
ple, . ..
... 1. Indorses Statement no. I.
"1 Indorse Statement No. 1 because
experience has shown the old taethod of
election of United Btates senators to be
unsatisfactory. Under such method, for
s more, than 40 years, such Influences
' have affected the election of United
States senators in Oregon that but few
. have been chosen until the last mo--1
ments of the legislative sessions. The
. . deals and deadlocks (saying nothing of
v -corruption) Incident to. the election ofl
,i iBiniuri in uregon nave ausorDPQ tne
, time and attention of state legislatures
to thedJsHwee of the state, the detrl
5aitroT the people and the neglect of
Xieeued legislation.
"1 further Indorse Statement No. 1
" for the reason that I am In favor of
...". the election of United States senators
by dlreot vote of the people, and favor
t . an amendment to the constitution of the
r . United States providing for same. In
i , the i absence of such an amendment.
Statement No. 1 accomplishes the mn
. result by obligating the members of the
7-r- legislature to elest the choice of the
' people as evidenced by the vote at the
June election.
Protective Tariff..
K ' "This nation is committed to the pro-
tectlve tariff. Its nbandonment would
result in Industrial disaster. The tariff
, laws,' however, must be adjusted to meet
, changed commercial and economical ron
' , dltlona of the times. Great combina
tions of capital have stifled competl
, tlon -to such an extent that the ex
isting tariff, in many Instances, levies
contributions on the people (tenerally
- tor athe benefit of a few manufacturers
and increases the profits of Industrial
monopolies, without answering any pur
pose of protection.
''In the revision of the tariff law
fthe demand for which Is imppratlvo)
0au should seek -reciprocal trade rela
tions with other countries to a greater
. -extent than under the present law the
tariff In such Instances, while nrovld-
- . ing a minimum rate for protection and
revenue, to be regulated bv a commls
ailon or otherwise, to meet corresponding
concessions from ot.ier countries.
Increase Pederai Power.
"I do not believe In limltl.ig the au
tnorlty and control of the states over
, , their Individual Interests and affairs by
; further delegation of power to the fel
ral government. The national gov
ernment now has ample power over all
matters of common interest ' to the
tates, including the sola and exclusive
i right to--regulate interstate commerce
s and provide for the formation, regula-
. -non ana control or transportation com
panies and corporations doing an Inter
state business, without infringing upon
the prerogatives of the states to con
trol Intrastate commerce. It Is "not an
extension of federal authority that is
. required, but Increased activity on the
part of the federal government In the
exercise , if powers already delegated.
"Railroads doing an interstate busi
ness should he subject tt regulation bv

v, people against unreasonable rates and
V rebates, and the powers of the inter-

privileges connected with the same. .
Would Abolish Trusts.
"Combinations of capital organized for
the purpose of monopolising the public
utilities and necessities to the exclu
sion of IndeDendent competition are a
menace to the liberties of the people 1
and contrary to every principle of pub
lic policy, and if allowed 10 comiuuo

FAMOUS LOXO-HAIBED
-.. . . '
IN THESE ADVERTISEMENTS WE HAVE TOLD THE PUBLIC CONSID
ERABLE ABOUT THE
Portland-Florence Mining & Leasing. Co.'s Florence Lease
We have told you that the Florence is the richest mine on earth. We have told
you that $6,000,000 has been offered for the mine, and that the owners declared they
would refuse $15,000,000. We have printed something of the history of all its leases.
We have related that WE have a lease on one portion of this famous property, and
that of the $6,616,874 in gold the Goldfield district paid in dividends in 1907, the leasers
paid $5,257,000 or all but $159,874 of the. whole afirount. . This statement is given
to show that the leasers are the REAL miners of Goldfield, and why?
BECAUSE THEY ARE OPERATING ON PROVEN GROUND.
A mine has been developed. It occupies but a small piece of ground. If it is
rich, it not reasonable to suppose that its surroundings are not likewise rich.
Lease No. 1 is made, and it turns out well. No. 2 is next, and it excels the original.
Nos. 3 and 4 are even better yet. There is a great hankering after leases on that
ground then. Additional leases are effected, and still an increase in gold I Such is
Goldfield history. Such is a tiny snatch of the golden picture of that astonishing
country, and that history is but little written until the wonderful Florence,
ABSOLUTELY THE RICHEST OF ALL KNOWN GOLD MINES,
Has been woven into the narrative. The Portland-Florenee Mining & Leasing
holds a lease on a part of the Florence. It was transferred to us by one who had
sunk his shaft 260 feet deep and had crosscuf lOO feet. At this stage of his work
the financial crash came upon Goldfield like a thunderbolt from a sunny, sky. It
crushed many others, and it crushed him. "His private funds were .imprisoned in
eastern banks and enterprises in which he had been engaged. Friends that gladly
would have come to his rescue were in similar plights. We all have read that Hetty
Green, richest woman in the world, declined a loan to the Vanderbilts on their per
sonal adornments their diamonds and other jewels.' So stringent was the money
market that no man could borrow, and this Florence leaser was forced to abandon
his quest for gold. At that time our Mr. Stewart appeared upon the scene. The
discouraged and financially crippled leaser surrendered all the rights that had cost
him $20,000 for Mr. Stewart's diminutive purse and boarded a train for his home.
He may never return to Goldfjeld, yet we hope he may, and that to later beedme a
millionaire. But what was Mr. Stewart to do with the lease? He had paid his
predecessor all the; money he had to spare. He could not continue development on
his own account, well knowing, too that
HE MIGHT PUNCTURE THE ORE VEIN AT ANY CLIP OF THE PICK OR
STROKE OF THE SLEDGE UPON THE DRILL.
Quickly was his mind made up to -return lo Portland, incorporate a company
and place 250,000 shares of its treasury stock upon the market at 10 cents per share
AND THAT WOULD DO THE WORKI And it IS doing it.' People who know
Mr. Stewart, president and manager; Mr. McKechnie, secretary and treasurer, and
Mr. Virtue, the superintendent, are not afraid to trust to the honesty of the only
stranger in the directorate W. A. Moses 'of Kansas City1 one of the largest grain
dealers in the middle west, who is the vice-president of the company. Mr. Moses is
largely interested in Goldfield, knows the leased groupd and was not afraid to put
his own good money into the enterprise. And this is the situation at this time.
THE COMPANY IS SELLING SHARES WITH PLEASURABLE ALACRITY!
The people of Portland and the state, as well as many beyond the confines of
Oregon, who have read these advertisements and have had a desire to place a few
dollars where a few thousands may be gained, are lively purchasers of these shares.
So much, for our lease on the famous Florence property; but now WE WANT TO
TELL READERS OF THE JOURNAL THAT WE OWN OUTRIGHT 100
ACRES OF GROUND, CONSTITUTING FIVE MINERAL CLAIMS, JUST A
LITTLE NORTH OF THE ASTOUNDING SANDSTORM, FIRST PRODUC
ING GOLD MINE IN GOLDFIELD. It was here that the first outcroppings of gold
were discovered m the Goldfield district. It was here where the first pick disturbed th
earth of the Goldfield region. It was here that the first dollar was taken from Gold
tield ground; and the Sandstorm is still, and likely always will be, one of Goldfield'a
foremost ffold mines. Messrs. Loftua & Dnvii rm taL-n t. nennnn
. the earth at this place, and recently delved into $600 to $8,000 ore. Adjacent to us
on the east lies, the well-known Daisy, Great Bend, Diamondfield Black Butte and
many other generous producers, and for the life of us we cannot see why our 100
acres should not be precisely as good as the mineral lands lying all around us The
tact is, we are largely hemmed in by developers of mining propositions,
AND THERE IS A FOREST OF GALLOWS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
HOISTING ORE FROM THE DEPTHS BENEATH.
It must be remembered that in years Goldfield is but an infant, though a giant
in worldly enrichment, and for 20 years to come we may look for discoveries in that
camp that will startle the country and gladden human hearts. The amazingly rich
Drumlummon, gold mine, 30 miles from Helena, Montana, was discovered by Tom
Cruse after he had prospected 30 years in poverty and the hill had been trampled
,Vrnr,aJkundred times- 11 sold a nine tenths of the mine to English capitalists for
$1,500,000 spot cash, married the dressmaker that loaned him $30 to buy the grub
stake for his last prospecting tour, and presented her with hal a million dollars the
day they were married. Mr. Cruse is new the owner of a bank in Helena and im
mensely wealthy. Experiences of a similar nature have been features of mining in
every age. It will likely be so at Goldfield, and
THE ASSAYS AND SURFACE INDICATIONS ON THE 100 ACRES WE OWN
OUTRIGHT ARE EVERY WHIT AS FAVORABLE AS THOSE
OF ANY OF OUR RICHLY PRODUCING NEIGHBORS.
r? OUf not to bc forgotten, either, that 100-acre tracts are a thing of the past
in Goldfield. No more can be had by right 'of location or at any reasonable purchas
able figure Our Mr. Stewart who, by the way, is aji experienced engineer of min
ingsecured these five claims from the original locators of this most promising prop
erty. 0 course, we are in embyro yet on these claims, as was the Florence the
Sandstorm,' the Mohawk and a score of other rich diggings at our age, but we have
the utmost confidence that we shall develop mines that will be the equal of the best
of them in this immensely profitable district.
AND EVERY SHARE OF STOCK WE SELL IN THE FLORENCE LEASE
COVERS THIS HUNDRED ACRES ALSO.
The Florence will doubtless be the QUICK money-maker. Because it is so
completely developed, we should have large returns from it in three or four months
but .our OWN property has ta be developed from the beginning, and will not, pro
duce result? so early. But if the Florence is sure, the Mohawk, sure, the Jumbo
sure, and stores of others in this same category, so we most conscientiously believe
will be our 100-acre tract when we have the means and the time to go down to the
rock we are confident that it'eontains. v
SHARES TEN CENTS EACH, FULL PAID AND NON-ASSESSABLE, AND
EACH SHARE IS A CLAIM ON EVERY INCH OF BOTH OUR
LEASE AND DEEDED ONE HUNDRED ACRES.
Those who come in with us 'now on these ground-flogr prices may be laying the
foundation for comfort in age and ease in their declining years or be building the
foundation for a start in life that never could be had if dependent upon one's daily toil. -
NO MAN EVER BECAME WEALTHY BY HARD WORK FOR OTHERS
EVEN AT MOST GENEROUS COMPENSATION; BUT THE GOLD '
MINES OF THE WORLD HAVE ENRICHED MORE POOR
B . MEN THAN ANY OTHER INDUSTRY EVER DEVISED.
We believe that ours will add hundreds to the number, and that our partners will -
rejoice in that they ever were invited to place some of their means in our mining
shares. ;
