MARCH ftfl iflflft til CORRUPTION L OPPOSED TO.STATEraENT ONLY IS I Political-Debauchery, Bribery, Treason of People and ; Every Other Legislative Crime in Fight to Down People's Eight to Name U. S. Senator. By George C. Brownll. ; I there any legitimate argument gainst Statement No. IT Do we want to to back to the old contests In which senator have been elected In the atatoa of the United States, and which have brought tasting- disgrace and dishonor upon men otherwise standing high in their different states and communities ItMs conceded that the congress of the United States and the states will not make any change In the oonstltu tlon, of the United States relative to the method of electing United States senators; the only way that change can. oe orougnt aoout is unuer some sucn system as now exists In the state of Oregon. Senator Bourne was elected united States senator In a quiet, peace able and moral way, reflecting no dls credit upon any member of the legisla ture, but In fact reflecting great credit upon It and upon the people of the stato oi uregon. Hcture of Deplorable Corruption. On the other hand, under the old I nachlne system, look back to the con Vsvt of 18&S, a contest which continued F 40 days and 40 nights. Money was umvu, uiii won iuivii;iau kiju Qiunt around tho capital and hotels, patron age was traded off, votes were bought and men standing high In the state f (sorted to all kinds of corruption and mmoral activity to bring success to a particular Individual, whom they cham ploned. This In the capital of a great scaie What kind of a lesson are such meth ods and examples, to the hundreds of young men who frequent the legislative halls during the session of tho legisla ture, to say nothing of the demoralizing innuenre upon ins inuiviauais wno are oirect participants in sucn nietnoas ana proceedings. Look back at the holdup session of 1187. Recall the strife the corruption, the broken promises, the bribery prac ticed on both sides. Lobulation abso lutely retarded for 40 days; one branch of the legislature falling to organise and appropriations for the support of state Institutions 'held up. practically chaos and revolution, with the Kld rldge block with Us women and wine and touch of high life thrown In on the side. What fair minded cltlxen of Ore gon, who tins anv regard for the good .name of Oil state and Its ctrlo virtue, would care to go back to these scenes, and to thin system? There being no election In 1897, the governor of the state appointed the late Hon. Henry W. Corbett aa United States senator. This gentleman, a man who has made a great succesa In com mercial life and In many other fields, accepted this appointment snd went to Washington with credentials from the governor of this state, and was un doubted! humiliated, to say nothing about the tremendous strain upon thl old man, by being refused his scat by the United States senate. At the extra session of the legislature in l8a. Mr. iorbtt was sgain a candi date, when another bitter contest ensued which resulted In much 111 feeling and bitterness throughout the state of Ore gon. It finally ended In Mr. Corbett withdrawing and in the election of Hon Joseph Simon, who however made an excellent, honorable and creditable sena tor. Old Machlns Methods Again. In 1901 the old machine method were revived again In the state of Ore gon, Mr. Corbett being a candidate and Senator McBrlde being a candidate far reelection. This contest continued 40 dava .' resulting in the greatest corrup tlon and demoralisation, ana enaoa in the election of Senator Mitchell at 12 o'clock on the evening of ths last day of the session. It Is a matter of common knowledge that some men eouid have received ns high aa (10.000 to 115,000 apiece ror their votes durlrur this contest, to say nothing about the trades and corruption In the distribution of the federal of fices and patronage. I personally know of one man on ths last evening of the session who was paid 1100 for each vote that he cast snd was kent under the influence of liquor to demoralise his mind and to destroy his conscience. This man was a representative or the neoole of this state snd took an oath to support the constitution and the laws of the state of Oregon, and yet, under the ccrrruotlnif Influence of this oil rotf?V machine system and method of electing United States senators, this man lost all self respoct snd all regard for hls duty snd as noon as the roll would be called and he had voted, he would leave his seat, walk into the cloak room and get his 1 100 In paper money and an extra drink or whiskey, and return to continue serving the peo ple of a great state In this manner and way. This is only one Instance. There Is another lpstance -of where a man's vote on that night was changed from one candidate to another by a prominent federal office holder stepping up to tilm on tiie floor of the house and guaran- eelng him $3,500 In cash, anil thus got his vote for the other candidate. A common thing to do and which was done at every session, was me otlng away of the taxpayers and the peoples money in estaDiisning new judicial districts, new normal schools and any other new or old thing that would swell up the senator or represen tative from that particular district, so that his vote could be obtained and he could go back to his constituents and nolnt to himself with pride and demand a reelection because he had got $35,000 for a normal school In his town. TUALATIN DEBATING TEAM 11 Jrom Left to Right Arthur Silverman, Archie Markee, L. L. Hope. 1 (Special Dlnpstcb to Tbt JooniuL) Paclflo University, Forest Grove, Or., March 28.

All of the men on the team belong to Alpha Zeta Literary society. A debate between the two Institutions Is an annual affair, and last year the contest was won by Tualatin academy. Professor P.

Under the system of electln'Unlted States senators by and through Statement No. 1, this la ell obviated; these temptations to commit a great crime against civil government and clvlo virtue cannot pos sibly take place. Is not this and this alone, a sufficient argument' to convince any roan who Is not Influenced by greed and selfishness that It Is bier duty to himself and to the stats to uphold the system which Statement No, 1 stands for and - to strike down the old system' by letting ths people elect the United States geni tor by and through Statement No. It Who are the real men who are behind this anti-Statement No. 1 movement! Are they not as a rule men who have, dlreotly or Indirectly, profited by the old machine system and who have made this state, on the subject and Una of electing United States senators, stand corruptly on a par with Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Delaware T Look down along the Una of names of those who are active against Statement No. 1 and sea if you do not notice tbst nearly every one of them Is what la commonly known snd called a machine politician. Take the gang at Portland who want to destroy Statement No. 1 and see If they are not all members of ths old machine who have got together for no hlgherepurpose than to destroy this remedy of a pure and clean elec tion of the United States senators. Tricksters Oppose attatemenl Qo Into ths county seat of every county of this stato, and who are the men who are fighting Statement No. 1? Oood men, undoubtedly, but they are fellows who do not know what popular government means and who have no sympathy with the Idea of the common PeODle belmr sovereign or belnff oatkuble of electing United States senators. 11 is observed that nearlv every inv dividual who profits by machine poll tics and who has profited by them In the past. Is loudly opposed to Statement No. 1. There Is nut a corporation In the state of Oregon nor a franchlwe holder, nor any of tho special privilege class, but what are opposed to ths Statement No. 1 and want to go back to the good old days of 189S, the hold-up time of 197 and the election of 1901. the politician sees that his opportu nity to gratify greed and selfishness is out of his reach when the election of j the United States senator Is left to the 1 public. It destroys the opportunity which comes from the corruption of the, 0 members of tho legislature. with I their chances for political trades, pat- : ronage and appropriations, as against the 100,000 votes In the state of Oregon. ! A Taw Polntsd Questions Why is It. I Inafllre. that the Rtnd- ' ard Oil company, the Missouri Pacific I Railroad company and these other great) lines of transportation, that reuun through the dlflerent Htates, alwuys ! line up directly against the nrlmarv I aw and popular election bv thn nennle of the United States senwtors? If State- rnent No. 1 and Its methods and ivt- 1 em and purposes are oil wiong. why Is t that such senators aa I'haunrfv M. Depnw, ttailey of Texas, Aldiluh. who 1 represents the special Interests on the floor of the I'nlied States snnnte nn,l Steve Klkins, who represents the Mor gan and coal buron syndicate In t lie ; otiate of the United States are nlwava 1 pposed to the popular ek-ction l,v tho ndlvldual voters of the United 8tatn senators? I This of Itself conclusively shows thnt tho special, monled and nrlstocrutlc j class Interests of the United States, In- , eluding tho corporations In Portland. . Oregon, and elsewhere In this state, aro lined up to a man ngnlnst the popular ' b)b;iioii 01 united etates senators Buc h being the cae, is It not wise for tiie ' common people of the state and the thinking people of the state to conclude 1 from tills, that it Is their duty to take the opposite course, and simnort wftn ! all their power the system represented by Statement No. 1? It Is claimed that this destroys party organization and that a Democrat might be elected to the United States senate from Oregon. This Is not nnv answer nor argument against Statement No. 1. The theory of our government Is that the people shall rule and are masters and have sovereign power. If in a state llko Oregon, that lias safely from 28,000 to 35,0(10 Republican majority, tho Republican go to the ballot box and vote for a Democrat, he ought to be elected and ought to he given tho office on the principle that the majority should rule. Blow Up Old System. , Is It not a fact that all the corrup tion by legislatures in the way of spe cial privileges has taken place under tht dill RVttnm If Mlinh la a foot tlian n,t... not strike a blow at the oM svstem bv ! ft letting the people elect their own sena- 1 tor to the United States senate, and i make him directly responsible to the people Instead of to two or three banks, railroads and tho Standard Oil company, who ns a whole, directly or Indirectly. ! always have ami always will undnr th i old system, control a majority of the legislature. Is It not a fact that special privileges, ' hi'Rh tariff and franchises for the ben-! eflt of the few, that have been causing so much agitation and discussion throughout the United States, are large- ; ly the result of tho old system of gov- i ernmont In existence In the different states of the United States? j Is It not a fact, nnd is it not human ' nature, that a man who wants to go to 1 the senate of the United States. no matter how honest lie wishes to be, as ; he n.lvancrs, more or less prostitutes ' himself and subserves tho large cor- 1 poratlons and the machine In order to achieve his ambition. The reason why he has to do this V simply because fn every state of the union, these large corporate interests control, eitlur directly or indirectly, either the state organization of trie ' dominant party or a sufficient number 1 or the members of the legislature to be ablo to elect or defeat any person who ' will not bow and bend to their wishes! ana aci along wnat tney call conserva tive lines, but what In reality Is to do the bidding of these great interests the same as Aldrlch, Elktns, Tom Carter Ualley of Texas of Standard Oil fame, nnd many others have been compelled to do In order to maintain their seats. People the Bemedy. Therefore, what other remedy is mere to protein tne people except for the people to retain the power that they now have In the state of Orepon under Statement No. 1 and elect at the ballot box the man whom they want to repre sent mem in tne senate or tho United states, ana tnereby hold him responsl ble to the public, and not make him feel that ho is responsible, not to the people, put to 46 members or the leg Is latlve assembly of Oregon which has largely been set up and placed In power uy uie cuuiuiimitun ui curporate inter ests.
