Tho Journal Too combination Of poll
f tlclnna who atarted In to take the choice
'. of United States aenator out of tha
' people's hand and to bring back tha
i old aoenea of boodle and bribery during
tha 40 day a oi me legislative session,
'" and now what tin Impossible taak they
' rook upon their shoulders. Blgns mul
tiply daily that tha machine ticket la
doomed. Tha morning paper, which lad
.. tha aaeault on th law for popular choice
of senator, has become weak and faint
In It support of tha ticket -that It
helnawl tn nut Into the field. Ita rO'
tinrtnrm. in their rounds of the city, find
abundant reason to carry, forebodings
. of defeat up to the Alder street tower.
Comfort la found- for tha opponanta
of tha nsopU's choice of aenator only
.anion those who used to go up to tha
legislature, . tn the good old daya( of
i a "practical" way wun "praoiioai ' mem
hare for "nractical" oandldatea. Thei

of tha people to tha choice of aenator.
Then tnere waa aoaence 01 aiacussion
of principles and iaauei. Then the
, method waa to extend "assistance"' be-
. sought aeau In tha legislature; or to
' ftive a memoer an envelope "loaoea
with long green" during the session; or
to enter Into a Yentlemen's agreement"
for appointment aa postmaster, or col

" or United State dlatrtct attorney (or
deputy, maybe), or perhapa for securing
' contracts for government work of one
son or anomer traies 10 oe iudb.uii.oi
ly railed for extra time or service). It
waa a riot of trade and dicker and bar
iter in the belle of tha etate capltol,
'where honor and Integrity and civic
' righteousness were eonaplcuoua by their
.. utrrequency or aDeenoe,
The people of the atate grew sick and
tired of thia method of selecting men to
alt tn the "highest legislative body In
, the world.' Toe method brought about
conflict between large conoerna for con
, trol of tha aenator, and big corporations
l became Involved In the eonteata and fur
, Dished the ..money frequently for the
oandldatea. The Interests of the people
were continually sidetrackea ana over
looked br the "Intereata" that had
brought about the election, of . eenator,
la despair of getting better resulte from
so bad s method, the voters of Oregon,
through the Republican party's great
voting siren gtn, prougnt about a enange,
that the people might choose their een
atora as effectively as they chooae their
governor, representative in congress
and other officers. Thla change la en
tirely In harmonv with the riant of the
people (called "self-evident by the
Declaration of Independence) to alter or
ohange tnelr government In auch way
aa snail serve their purposes and pro
mote their welfare.
Aa a result of thla change In method,
two candidates for senator were nomi-
' listed by the people of Oregon both
republicans two yeara ago and It re
quired leas than an hour, when the leg
islature met seven months lator, for the
house and tha aenate to gather In Joint
convention and ratify tha choice of the
people. It waa a simple, easy and ef
fective way to dispose of a matter that
bad for many years burdened the legis
lature, stifled legislation, corrupted
members In either house and debauched
the public conscience. It waa so satis
factory aa to win commendation from
all sources, Including an editorial In the
Oregonlan, which praised the new
method and declared It "A Milestone In
History." Perhapa there were and are
a number of votera who dislike the suc
cessful candidates that will alwaya be
the case but In a wide sense the people
were pleased to And that a means had
been found to choose aenators free from
the debauchery and rottenness that had
almost Invariably marked previous n
atorial contests In Orefron. And while
some politicians and their immediate
boosters may now be unhappy, there are
no Indieatlona that the people will per
mit return to tho corrupt methods that
it required so much effort to supersede
with the safe and sane method now in
use in Oregon. In this state It Is set
tled that ail power resides ultimately
In the people, and that whenever the
people choose to exercise this - power
It is their riant to do so. The ratifica
tion by the Oregon legislature of popu
lar choice of senators in 1907 marked an
epoch In the development of free Insti
tutions. It established tho fact -that
members of the legislature are tha rep
resentatives of the atate, and that a
popular mandate, expressed under the
forms of law, Is of binding obligation
upon all public official. j
