TtErriJIJCAX VOTERS' CHOICE."
r
HAT Is the meaning of the
pledge to rote for that candi
date for United States sen
ator who is the "Republl
ican toters choice"? .
f Several score of legislative candl
' elates In Oregon have subscribed to
this pledge la preference to State-
, Inent No. 1. What do they mean
fcy It?
H Of course the answer is glibly given
' that the legislator who has taken
this pledge has - bound himself to
tot for that senatorial candidate
who has received the Republican
rote In June. But what does that
mean? ' '.
It a majority of the Republicans

Bourne's
-Hi,
lit
.if '
; a)f the state were to vote In June for
; the Democratic nominee for United
.. States senator, so one Imagines for
a moment that these "Republican
t choice" legislators would consider
themselves bound to elect him. In
' deed they are outspoken in their dec
laration that they will not elect a
'Democrat to the senate under any
circumstances.
;; Obviously, then, when they pledge
u themselves to the support of the "Re
publican voters' choice," they refer
' to the choice expressed at the pri
maries, and not In the June elec
; lion. Consider, - then, what this
.means. 1
; ; In the primary election of 1906
, the total vote cast tor the five Re
publican senatorial candidates was
4J.808. Of this- total Bourne re
" eelved"U,8?7. In the general elec
tion in June the total number of
otes cast by all parties was ,445.
nomination' was accom
plished therefore by the vote of a
little more than one fourth of the
Republicans who voted In the prl-
' marles, and these J 2,8. 7 7 Republicans
who nominated him constituted less
than one eighth of the whole number
of voters who voted in June. Nearly
10,000 Republicans voted in the pri
maries against Bourne and for other
'senatorial candidates.
' '. Now suppose that Bourne had been
defeated by Gearln In the June elec-
tlon. ' Then every member of the
legislature of 1907 who had pledged
himself to vote for the "Republican
voters choice!' would have been
bound to vote for Bourne because
'Bourne had received the party's
Semination. ", In other : words the
choice of the senator would have
been' determined, not by the people,
not even by a party, but by a scanty
minority of a party, a minority so
: small as to. constitute scarcely more
than one fourth of the votes cast In
the primaries.
It Is conceivable that a Republl
can might get the nbminatlon of his
party for aenator by such a small
minority as Bourne naa, ana inai id
the Jan election an actual majority
ot all the;; Republican voters 'of the
sUte might vote for the Democratic
nominee. And , yet the legislator
pledged to the "Republican voters'
choice" would still be bound .by the
result of the primaries and would be
obliged to vote for the man wnom
the majority or nis own party au
Jiht
HE time for filing nominating
petitions by. candidates for the
legislature, In districts compris
ing no more than one county,
will expire April 1, a week from to
day. There Is therefore time yet for
Retting signatures and filing such
petitions, and In a good many dls
rlcts no Democratic or Statement
Xo. 1 candidate has yet filed a petl
tlon. Democrats In every such dis
trict, thOBe where no Republican can
didate taking Statement No. 1 has yet
filed a petition, should Immediately
get busy and induce some good
Statement No. I Democrat to file
petition within the required time.
The rank and file of voters. Repub
lican as well as Democrats, ace favor
able to Statement No. 1, and if no
Republican candidate gives them
chance to vote for this principle some
Democrat In each district should af
ford that opportunity. The Journal
believes that if this Is done a con
slderable number of Statement No. 1
Democrats will be elected, on this
isine, In districts that are otherwise
overwhelmingly Republican.
A large proportion of the Repub
lican voters realize that a candidate's
politics are not of first. Importance,
and that it would do no harm if the
parties were more evenly and equit
ably represented In the legislature;
and under these circumstances a
great number, of Republicans who be
lieve in Statement No. 1 and realize
Its Importance would vote for a Dem
ocrat who stands for that principle
and policy rather than for a Repub
lican who does not. Hence there is
now a chance for Democratic candi
dates, In districts where there is no
Statement No. 1 candidate, such as
there has not been before in many
years, and even from a party point
of view Democrats ought to Improve
this opportunity.
But of far greater Importance than
the success of Democrats over Re
publicans, as such, is the success of
the Statement No. 1 principle, and
Democrats should fall not, In every
district, to do whatever can be done'
to establish and maintain this prin
ciple. Success now would mean
easier success hereafter; failure
through negligence ' Or apathy ' now
would render .success doubly dlffl-
cult hereafter.
So The Journal earnestly urges
Democrats throughout the state to
wake up and attend to this Important
duty at once a duty as Democrats
but a far greater duty as citizens who
believe in the election of senators by
the people. No more time Is to be
lost. But by prompt and energetic
effort the voters of every district In
the state can be given an opportun
lty to express themselves on this
ellng men, congregated next sum
mer, If most of them agreed, would
be safe to bet on.
It Is significant, therefore, that so
many traveling men are as' yet
doubtful about the election next fall,
folly to suppose; They never fear HOnSi r P.

OST of those who oppose
Statement No. 1 do so partly,
at least, on the ground that
election of senators by the
people, which this feature of the pri
mary law would secure, is contrary
to the constitution. It is constantly
reiterated by them that this plan is
in direct contravention of the federal
constitution, which members of the
legislature are sworn to support
The disingenuousness of this argu
ment becomes fairly ludicrous when
we find all these same upholders of
the constitution approving and sup
porting, in lieu of Statement No. 1,
a statement by candidates for the
legislature that they will vote for
"the Republican voters' choice," or
for "the choice of the people If he
shall be a Republican." In indors
ing such a statement, they become
oblivious to the constitution, don't
care about it as between friends.
Surely, if It is such a constitution-
breaking thing for candidates for the
legislature to agree to elect the
choice Of the whole people of the
state, it would be an even worse In
fraction of that instrument to pledge
themselves to vote for the choice of
a party, of only a part of the people.
If Statement No. 1 involves a breach
of the constitution, a party state
ment would necessitate a worse and
far less excusable fracture of It. The
only explanation for this absurd po
sition that we can think of Is that
some clause of the constitution, if
properly construed, declares that no
man except a Republican shall be
elected a aenator. . ,

Her pastures and surroundings in salaams, juggernauts or tale-telling is

mistake on the part of wholesale
liquor dealers that they do not dis
courage the practice ot Illicit deal
ing in dry territory. The antipathies
aroused by illicit sales are an im
portant Influence in arousing hostile
public sentiment, and It Is aroused
public sentiment today that is bring
lng multiplied troubles upon those
conducting legitimate business, and
on the traffic In general. Liquor
associations and respectable dealers
will do much to protect themselves
and the traffic if they do their ut
most to discourage illicit traffic of
every kind, whether In dry territory
or otherwises. At best, the troubles
ahead of them appear to be numer
ous, and full of menace.

F "THE SYSTEM," of things as
they have been and are, Louis
F. Post, in the Public, says
"The Democratic masses have
learned, and the Republican masses
are learning, what the financial ban
dittl learned long ago, that true po
litical cleavage' Is no longer along
Republican and Democratic party
lines. It Is between, public rights
and privileged Interests."
We have read no clearer, more
truthful, statement of the political
situation, the real "issues," than
this. And when this is understood,
certain men come into prominence as
peculiarly representing the" people
as against the Interests.' The two
most conspicuous men of this type
are La Follette4, nominally a Repub
lican, and Bryan, nominally a Dem
ocrat. We put La Follette first, be
cause he has been in public positions
where he has had a chance to work
out his policies, as Bryan' has not;
but the two men are a pair; they
stand monumental as champions of
the people as against the Interests.!
After all, considering these men;
and Roosevelt, and Ahe trend of pa
triotic enlightened, liberalized aye,
liberated sentiment, . is there ' any
"party" any more? Is there real
need of party? Mr. post says fur
ther; .v-'-v vv.; I
"Bryan "stands against the ag
gressions of the interests. For thU
reason they are' against hlin.ln the
Democratic party as they are against
La Follette In the Republican party.
That they are ' against him because
