Mr. 'Cake, compare -with Itf With all due deference to him, b bad made no record on tb subject until th campajrn which preceded th pri maries In favor of either th popular legislation of today, tor h election of senators by direct vote of th people. Dn the contrary, two .year a so heras a candidate for the United States sen ate, and his petition for the nomination was silent upon this subject I ask him, therefore, to say In all candor and frankness what he will do in those counties wher on th Republican ticket ar men who have been nominated as oppoaed to Statement No. 1 and wher Independent tickets ar pitted against these On Statement No. 1. Will he the friend of Statement No. 1 advocat lot election oi me independent Diaio ment No. 1 candidates, or will he ad vo ce t th election of th Republican tick et whosu1 Opposed to Statement No. IT li na aoes neiiner oi mean mini, wnai people to conclude--from hi it i lncumDenc upon mm are the neutrality? to declare himself 'positively in such oases. So xar .as I am concerned I shall advise the voters In every county to vote only for those candidates for the legislature who hava subscribed to Statement No. 1. Quitbn 'of jaartar.-'.'':' Already It In being urged that It would be disastrous to the state to send a Democrat to the satiate or the United States, i I concede 'that it might bav been better for the people to have nom inated 'Senator, Fulton aa his own suc cessor, because of the advanced position he bad secured on varrou . committees and bis wide acquaintance with mem-' bars of the senate but he has been de feated In the bouse of those who ought to have been his friends. Now that he has been eliminated. I am unwilling to concede that the election of a Democrat to the senate will In any way be detri mental to th Interests of Oregon. The question 'for th people to determine ought to be on of capacity and fitness for th place, rather than th politics of the Individual. It ought to be de termined just as they would determine th employment of any servant, wheth er in public or In private Mr. Th business man In quest of an employ care not for his political opinions, but looks only for competency-' and fitness, and the same rule which prevails in business affairs ought to prevail in The Right Place for Good Shoes: :Selz Royal Blue Sclz r (Royal Blue Shoe' i $3.50,-$4 nnHIS store is the right place for good shoes j it's where' X you get Selz Royal Blue shoe. ,!

Tn corroboration of th views herein expressed, I auot from tn Interview given by the. Hoa. C W. rulton pub lished In the Oregonlan March 11. 107. upon bis-return to wregon etter nm expiration of Senator Oearln'a term. It will be remembered that an emergency appropriation of 1400,000 for Jetty work ad Deen ootaineo, ana ,auv.vuv iyr river and harbor ' improvements, in speaking of th matter Senator Fulton waa generous snough to gtv Benator Oearln much credit for securing the ap propriations, saying: "Mr. uearinyary rapidly acquainted . himself . with the work to be done; made many friends and waa tlreleas in his efforts. ' I never net a man who waa more agreeaDie to work with; he was vary effective in so curing support for our measures, par ticularly among th Democratic sena tors.'" It must b born in mind In this connection that ntit tor th fact that Senator Oearln secured the united sup port of the Democratic senators these appropriation could not hav been pasaed at that sesaion or congreaa. out Uiat tne political cvmyiuiun men la not a matter lor very serious consideration let me call attention to the fact that a very few years ago uai-1 veaton harbor had a 11-foot bar, and now after th expenditure or miiuona, It was reported a tew days ago that veaaels of II feet draft cross without trouble. Texas la a Democratic state. All her senator and - representatives ar Democrats and eongres is Republi can. What does it tiieanr wny, simpiy that the men from Democratic-' Texas hav been able to show their neoessities and know how to appeal to their politi cal opponents In coogrees lor rener. men again, more money naa oven ap iropriated for the Mississippi river than or any other water way in the coun try. Th majority of th representa tives and senators from the states I through which It flows ar Democrat their appeals and granted them without considering the question of politics at alL It Is simply a proposition of know- ins what you want ana now to asx for it. I hava no hesitation In saying to yon that greater appropriations were od, talned by Senator Oearln and Fulton working In concert In the senate of th United States than we ever obtained for this state In- the same period of time in all her paat history. I challenge con tradiction of these statements.. t . Can It b said with troth that Senator CNwrla waa detriment to this magnifl- ent oommonwaalthT Oa th contrary a wa aa ornament to ta Stat, aad honoradr at as weU by bis abilities aa by his efforts la behalf of th people.

All of these harbor rivers and harbors ought to receive aid In sufficient amounts to make them navigable for the deepest seagoing ves sels. It IS only a question .-ox .tne nanitftitr of monev.' becausft nature ha done much for them alL-..j They are im portant as avenues or commerce to tne orient and the whole of the United SUtea.. Take the method Of expendi ture of moneys for opening up the Co lumbia river as an Illustration of Ill advised' nnd insufficient appropriation. ThU magnificent stream, which for S00 miles serves as a boundary line between tho states of Oregon and wash ington, and for 1,100 miles might be made navigable, has never received aid except in piecemeal, and after united ac tion on tho part of commercial bodies cf the states Interested., For years - it was. sought to construct a system of locks at the Cascades, j Congress hesi tated until th atate'approprlated money for th building of a portage road, and when . congressional ? aid- had bten ren dered ; temporarily unnecessary gbpro- frlatlon was made sufficient tp build he locks, which put the portage road out of commission. The same; thing was done at Celllo. where congress re fused to act until i the state . had ex pended more than $260,000 In building a portage road eight ' miles In length and in securig a right of way for the pnoponed goverment canal.' : After this expenditure had been made by the State, then congress, through th efforts of Senators G.arta-and Fulton, and the united demand of the people of the northwest, began the construction of aother canal, which ought now to b placed on a continuing- contract . basis ad completed .wlthina a reasonable time. Moneys at the mouth of the Columbia river- have been wastefnlly ' expended because Instead , of ' placing ' these im provements on a ' continuing contract basis, appropriations have been made only occasionally, with the result that improvements made have been swept Into tha sea and a Jarre part of suc ceeding; appropriations used to - restore normal conditions. i - - Vded Xlvar Zmprovement. - Th WlflametteC river' Is another in stance of the tardiness Of congressional 4ctlon. The legislature -of the state at the last Sfiiisioa appropriated $300,000 on the condition that congress would appropriate a like amount to conntrut't free locks around the fulls at Oregon City. , This appropriation ought . to U made and the locks built, so that th win&matta river oaa be mad free to navigation. As soon as this has been Inn. an mhirid of bO Cent Per tOH will be removed from all shipment to and from.th upper WUiamette vaiisy. Not only-are all of these rivers and harbors necessary to aaslst in relieving and adjusting freight conditions, but they ar absolutely necessary to regu late the rates of tb railroad companies In and through th atat. Already tha construction of th canal at Cascade has savd to th producer of niiiinna f dollars In frelrht charge, and the portage road at Celllo has had a aimUar effect, and benefits will bo Incomparably greater when the canal aad lock tner nav oeeu pleted. a'...,.-,: U Th people ot jhihiuihu w'jw alone hav Uxed themselves to main tain th channel from Portland to As toria in excess of any aid received from , v. MrmramAnl . Tha malntalnlna of this' channel Is not only of local but of national; or rather miernauonai , im portance, and all freight rates ar reg ulated by this magnlfloent highway. All of the moneys inat nave ueeu wymu by stat or local taxation for th Im provement of - thi river aad for the Improvement of all the water ways of - this stat ought to b re funded by congress to th peopl of the state. I have stood for these things al ways, as my official acta and public addresses will prove.
