senator- rulton was th representa
tive of political bossism. Th popI
Of Oregon have, whenever they hav
had th opportunity, pronounced against
th political boss. It is gratifying to
know that they are proving tru and
steadfast' in their purpose. - ' '
Th election of united States sena
tors, by oijr legislatures of th past,
has nroven to be -the chief source of no-
lltical corruption - In Oregon. At th
capital city not only has boodle in the
shape of hard cash reigned supreme, but
bargains and politicals-agreements were
made by which, not th best. men were
appointed to federal office. In this way
have such men as Jack Matthews been
appointed to federal position, whereas
had it depended upon the votes of the
people, nis occupation in private lire
wouia not nav been aisturoea.
The defeat of Mr. Fulton is probably
the final struggle of political bossism in
Oregon, to reinstate itself in ' power.
In Juno the people will Undoubtedly
adopt th amendment making Statement
No. 1 obligatory in the election of
united States senator. A senator elect
ed by th -people will not then ow fealty
to any . doss except ma oniy Yigntrui
boss -the neonle. Men will then be se
lected for federal office because of their
?ualincations and fitness, rather than
or their ab.llty to deliver votes at the
general elections or at tne legislature, .
