aama wniiitinn has existed In oth

question but that they will soon follow
In tha footsteoa of Oreron In th matter
of th election of their senators. Five

legislation, the bouse of representative
ha voted to amend me eommuuun w
tha United fit a tea ao aa ta civ th peo
ple the right to elect their senator, but
aa often these resolution bav bean
burled in th senatorial committee, anq
there is no bop of constitutional
amendment as long as th aame corrupt
force control th destinies of the re
public. The senate of the United States
la understood to ba the bulwark of pred
atory wealth and privilege, and ao long
as legislatures can b bought and con
trolled by a corrupt bos and political
machine, so long will th senat of th
United States stand aralnat tb Seopl.
and as th represent a tire of class legis

of these thing becaua th people can
not b too often reminded of condition
which bav heretoror exiatea in ure-

bad made no record on tb subject until
th campajrn which preceded th pri

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

oppoaed to Statement No. 1 and wher
Independent tickets ar pitted against

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

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

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

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

avo practically been wiped on
the cor.sresBlonal map. 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
