MR. CAKE FACES BOTH WAYS
H. M. Cake, while professing .loyalty
to Statement. No. JL js advocating the
election of Republican nominees for the
legislature, who are opposed to th state
ment , , ,
" He is faolnr both ways. : If elected
that 1 what he would do in the United
State senate on every Important ques
tion in which th people are concerned.
While outwardly prof easing . loyalty to
the Interests of th people, he' would be
secretly aligned with' their enemies. --
Befor the primaries . he declared. In
nrefy speech he made that on one great
vital Issue of th campaign was the tri
umph of Statement No. 1. But now he
'has thrown that : Issu 'overboard and
say that the' only important thing is his
own election. . J ;
Within two years Cake has changed
front four time on Statement No. i.
If , elected to the United State senate,
how many times would he change front
en "railroad rate- legislation, -on postal
saving banks, on curbing the power of
the trusts, and on all th other . meas
ures which Rooaevelt has urged upon
congress T . Mr. Calce now places party
above principle. Would he do the same
in the United Statea senate?
i According;, to the published statement
of W. 8- ITRen, one of his strongest
champions, Mr. 'Cake ; repudiates the
platform adopted by the recent Republi
can , state convention. "Mr. Cake is
standing on his -own platform,' not on
the platform put forth by thealleged
Republican convention of May. 1 i," say
U'Ren. Cake's brother as chairman of
the - state eentral committee. Was one of
the directing influences in that conven
tion. The platform was framed with
his knowledge and approval. Tet It Is
now repudiated by H. M. Cake,
When a candidate refuses ' to accept
the platform of his party, what claim
has he upon the support of the voter
of the party? : -

Governor George K. Chamberlain will
b declared: th choice of the people of
Oregon ror United states senator by a
majority of at least 8,850, according to
th estimate of Alex Sweek, chairman
of the Democratic state central com
mittee,' from data :. carefully collected
and conservative la tone. - It is . esti
mated ' that ": four counties Columbia,
Lane, Tillamook and Umatilla will ' re
turn majorities for Cake, and that the
two candidates will have an even break
in coo. Josepnme, Kiamatn, Morrow,
Wasco, Washington , and Wheeler
even In alL The ' remaining counties
will go fop Chamberlain by majorities
ranging from 60 to -1,100, the lead it la
estimated Chamberlain will have over

During th Mat 'few ' dav'a ' nnnrli

wake which in the opinion of his
friends and supporter makes - his elec
tion a foregone conclusion. , . - -'
From every part ' -of th state word
comes that Chamberlain sentiment is
on th increase, and while the estimate
of - totals has been kept down rigidly
within most conservative limits, it Is
held by Chairman Sweek aa a possibility
that the majority given Governor Cham
berlain may reach high above the 6,350
mark and climb close to 10,000 before
the,votea are all counted.' (
