REPUBL
CANS
' Walter C. Farnham.' ; ;
Three candidates for the legislature
from Multnomah county have refused to
take the 'pledge of Statement ;X-.vV
thus repudiating the doctrine of the
people that the people should have the
right and power to designate by their
vote the selection Of Unitei States sena
tors. These three candidates are John
Ji. Coffey, for the senate, O. N. McAr-
tnur ror joint representative irom
Clackamas and Multnomah counties and
Robert S. Farrell ' for representative
from Multnomah county. - v - ' '
These men are opposed by their"
pledge and by their statements to ths
principle that the people of the state
of Oregon should have the right to
name by their vote the United-States
senator. In. the face of the fact that
under the pledge of H. M. Cake that can
didate can not become a candidate be
fore the legislature unless he receives
the popular vote In June, 'these men
have taken pledges which virtually
mean that hey will take the election
of the United States senator, back into
the old time system of corruption and
political triokery and trading that for-,
merly prevailed unless H. M. Cake re
ceives the popular vote June 1.
- -That great -mass of the. people who
believe m the direct election of United
States senators, however, have a relief
from this condition in the candidacy
of Walter C. Farnham. A. Klna- Wilson
and- F. Campbell. These three men
are pledged to the principles of State
ment No. 1 and should they.be elected
would abide by its provisions. All are
known citizens of Portland, possess the
pood opinion and respect of their neigh
bors and associates and Will undoubted
ly make strong showing against the can
didate, opposed to Statement No. 1,
while they have a strong probability of
election.

that issue. It is confidently predicted
by his friends that he will bo elected.
A.' King Wilson, is the Democratic
nominee for Joint representative from
Clackamas ana Multnomah counties, op
posing C. N. McArthur. Mr. McArthur
is- one of the most uncompromisingly
hitler opponents of ths principle of dl
Wi eltettnn of aenators ss exnressed by
Statement No. 1 to be found in the ranks
of the old line politicians or the state. Mr.
Wilson is attempting to wrest the elec

principle. . He believes In the right of
the people to- rule themselves, and be
lieves thst the people are intelligent
enoutfh to utilise that right properly.
Mr. Wilson is a well known lawyerof

him a. a man of strong purpose, sound

more conservative representative of the
people than his opponent, Mf. Farrell.

Now tha policemen are protesting
that the painters pay the bill. .

CHINESE MAID MUST
FACE LARCENY CHARGE
Little Leong So, the pretty Chinese
maiden who has been held In the county
Jail for two months pending the decision
of the officials at Washington as . o
whether she shpuld be deported.' has
been ordered returned to San Francisco
to stand trial on a charge of larceny.
An order from the department of jus
tice waa received at the office of tha
United States district attorney this
morning. ., .
Leong go was ordered deported some
months ago, and now that the depart
ment of justice officials have reversed
the order of Che cdurt an Interesting
question arises as to whether It is pos
sible, under the law, for the heads of
the department at Washington to go
over the Portland ' federal authorities
and send the girt to California inatead
of allowing her to be taken to China as
haa been ordered by a United States
commissioner.
Little 8o waa arrested in Portland by
iiio immigration autnorities on a charge
of being in this country illegally. With
her at the time was her lover. ' Both
were ordered deported. The man has
been sent to the land of hie birthv i
..B,ta -'. te b lve girl worth
$5,000. It is understood - by ' the gov
ernment representatives her that the
slave owners in San Francisco whose
property So has been for several years,
trumped up the larceny .charge In order
to make a legal fight to return the girl
to Chinatown, where she brought them
a handsome revenue. The Caflfornlans
alao alleged that Leong So 4e native
born and - that , In addition to - wanting
her for larceny she should not be de
ported under the Chinese exclusion laws.
So has fears of her lite If returned to
the south and her attorneys will make
a tight to prevent her being transferred.
It is probable that her attorneys will
bring habeas corpus proceedings so that
she may be at liberty while the fight is
BTokiy on In the United States courts.
