To the Editor of The Journal Believing In the doctrine of free speech and a free press, I grant the Oregonlan the right to curse and vilify Statement No. 1 Republican members of the legislature to Its heart's content or the ' past six months a large portion of the editorial page of that paper has. In nearly every Issue, been devoted to abuse of us poor devils, and knowing that the value of so much space In a great metropolitan paper, is very great, I cannot conceive how that paper can afford to waste so much -on us Statement No. 1 members whom It has already read out of the Republican party, unless some one who aspires to the position of United States senator is benma tne scene wun a back.

INOl oeillg Hie owner ui iicwbu.ucii T air vnu for m. little snae-to defend myself from the curses and abuse of this great paper. Meneving in me uoc trina that Rhus la not alwava arau ment, I shall -not take up your valuable space by caning me eaiior or me ure cnnlnn vile names. I concede that the Oregonlan has for $0 years been the leading Republican paper in Oreoon. I concede that the Oregonlan worked hard, and did more to cause the enactment of the dlreet Firlmary Jaw than all the , other forces n Oregon combined. I concede that the Republican party passed the primary law. I concede that It was largely tnrougn tne inriuence or tne uregonian that 66,000 people voted for the pri mary law and election of United States senators by the popular vote, whereas only 16,000 voted against It . Who Passed the Xawt "Backward, turn backward, oh. time. In your flight," only a few years ago to the hall of the state senate, and we find the electric light shining brightly on the men who formulated and voted for that law, for the election of United States senators by the popular vote, all prominent in the councils of the Re publican party.

Was Be Wrong ThsnT If the able editor of the Oregonlan has become convinced that he was wrong when he advocated the primary law and the election of United States senators by the popular vote, would it not be better for him to come out and acknowledge the error of his way and right the wrong by good, clean argu ment, and not by calling Statement No. 1 Republicans fools and corwards and violators of their oatns and tne consti tution? But It is Mr. Scott's policy to rule or ruin, and he Is attempting to rule all the Republicans out of the party who are advocating the very doc trine that he formerly preached. If Mr. Scott was right when lie advocated the election of senators by the popular vote, he is wrong now. When the Republicans pledged them selves to vote for the late Senator J. N. Dolph for reelection, and violated their sacred pledge, the Oregonlan (for many moons abused them and read them out of the Republican party, If you were right then, Mr. Soott you are wrong now when you ask Republican members of the legislature to violate theirnledge made to the whole people; and if you were right Mr. Scott when you abused Republicans for violating their pledge to Senator Dolph, you were wrong when you telegraphed to Senator Brownell on the last day of the session of 1903, to vote for H. W. Scott for United States senator and -violate the pledge he had made to vote for Senator Fulton. - The Oregonlan Is much worried about the Statement No. 1 Republicans violat ing their oaths and the constitution of the United States, and has written many editorials warning them of the great crime they are about to commit; Now let us see what the constitution of the United States Bays about the election of senators. Section 3 of article 1 reads: "The senate of the United 8tates shall be composed of two senators from each state, chosen by the legislature there of.", r intend iro Treason. Now I do Dot know of any Statement No. ' 1 man Who Is contemplating, or Wants to, or will violate this section of the constitution; on the other hand, they expect to vote to a man to represent Oregon tn the United States senate as provided . for In ' said section 8, article 1. unless through the efforts of the editor of the Oregonlan and others who want to be United States senator there Is a holdup and they are prevented from so doing. Such things have happened in the past - Again, the Oregonlan has published column after column saying that State ment No. 1 Republicans are about to violate their oaths as members of the legislature. Here Is the oath that each member Is required to take: "I do sol emnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be) that I will support the con stitution of the United States and the constitution of the state of Oregon,' and' i win raitnruuy aiscnarge tne duties or representative or senator, as the-case may .be." V '..' - Now. In all candor. I will ask Mr. Scott what the oath or constitution has I to no wnn tne election of a United States -senator any mors than it re quires the .members of the legislature to elect a senator; and the constitution further provides that the man elected shall be a cltlsen of the United States and the Stats of Oregon, and of a cer-1 tain age. It does not say that a man must be of a certain brand of Repub lican or .Democrat. The Republican party passed the pri mary law. All the Republican leaders of Oreon advocated It. Mr. Scott wrote some of the most able editorials that were ever published in favor of this law that he is now condemning. Lin coln has said that "the best way to repeal a bad law is to enforce It." I have confidence In the people and in the Republican party that if they find the primary law Is not a good law they will by their votes repeal It. Wrote on Corruption. The editor of The Oregonlan has wjrltten many good, able articles in the past 20 years showing up the corrup tion and evils of the senatorial elec tion at Salem. He lias written many able articles about the use of money and the buying of votes and the hold ups In the Oregon legislature, and has been so unkind as to say that money was used at the holdup session' and in the session of 1903 to elect a United States senator, and has published af fidavits that two of the leaders of the Republican party in Oregon actually gave a member of the legislature the sum of $1,600 for his vote. There is no prospect of a Statement No. 1 man ever getting $1,500. or" any other sum, for his vote unless he violates his pledge made to the people. It Is to be hoped that wisdom will not die with The Oregonlan and that some , modern Moses will come forth and gather together the scattered hosts of the Republican party that Mr. Scott has kicked out, and that before another election rolls around they will have united, and that the Republican candi date who has been nominated at the primaries will be elected at the follow ing election. Probably these headlines have ap peared in The Oregonlan 100 times since the June election: "Fraud Apparent. "Democrats Proved to Have Sworn In as "Republicans for a Purpose. "Returns Uncover a Plot." Now If Mr. Cake were the owner of a newspaper, he might, with as much consistency, run In headlines ss fol lows: "10.000 Voters. Who Were Swprn and Registered as Republicans in Mult nomah and Clatsop. Proven to have Voted for Governor Chamber Iain for United States Senator for the Purpose of Defeat ing Mr. Cake and Defeat ing the-Primary Law." Charges of Oregonlan. The Oregonlan says that a large num ber of Democrats registered as Repub licans and then voted for Cake In the primaries to defeat Senator Fulton. F Granting that this is true,- Is it not also a fact that a large number of Repub licans who registered as such and who also swore that they were Republicans, deliberately, with malice forethought, walked up to the polls and vcKe.1 for George K. Chamberlain for United States senator? By their votes they recommended that Chamberlain be elected as senator, and In November, only a few months later, they came hack- to the fold of the Republican party ana voiea tor xaii ror president But the able editor of The Ore gonlan will say, as well as some prom inent leaders of the Republican, party: "Oh, we Just voted for Mr. Chamber lain to put Statement No. I men out of business. We now want to reor ganise the Republican party In Oregon and cut out all Umber that- does not come up to Scott's standard of Repub licans." - B. F. JONES. - "Wrestling Tonight.

GRAND TR1K LI U Bailway Officials at Detroit Celebrate Great Construc tion Feat. MM -$10 A MONTH NOW -' Returns Hundreds Later;! (Spet'ial Ulipitrh to The Jimrnii.) Detroit, Mich., Nov. 12. Many promi nent railway men, promotors and civil engineers, of . the United States and Canada gathered In this city today to. take part in a celebration arranged by the Grand Trunk railway to mark the fprrnal taking over of the tunnel under the St. Clair river, the electrlflca tion of which was recently com pleted. The tunnel extends from Bar nia. Ont. to Port Huron, Mich., and it was at th6 latter point that the cere monies of the day took place. The . electrification of the tunnel cost the eomnanv uDwards of Sl.u'Ou.Uuo. The work, however, was but a small fiart of the gigantio task of reconstruct; ng and standardizing the entire Grand Trunk railway system, which began 10 years ago, and has now been compietea.

The cost of new rails was nearly $13.- 000,000. Nearly 18,000,000 was spent in renewlnar and strengthening oriages, in eluding -nearly $3,000,000 expended upon the great Victoria bridge.

LOOKING FOR TURKEY FOE THE R00SE VELTS (Special Dispatch to Tb loarnal ) Providence, R. I., Nov. 12. On Thanksgiving - as usual a mammoth Rhode Island turkey is to grace the holiday table at the White House. And as usual the turkey in all probability writ come- from- Connecticut.

As this Is to be Mr. Roosevelt's ' last Thanksgiving In the White House. Mr. Vose says he hopes to be able to send him a bird that will be a record-breaker ss regards both else and ' fins flavor.

(Special DUpatch to The Journal. -) Pendleton. Or., Nov. 12. Heavy pres sure will be brought to bear on the leg islature when It convenes this winter by the sheepmen of eastern Oregon and the Willamette valley to secure a bounty of from $1 to $1.50 per coyate. The pest Is already ravaging flocks In the western part of the state and Its depre dations will exceed those of any for mer year on account of its Increasing numbers. It Is estimated that the coyotes dur ing the past year have done over $1,000, 000 damage to the flocks of the state, and the sheepmen believe that the only way to exterminate the pest Is to pro vide a bounty to make their killing worth while. In order to get the matter before the legislature the Oregon sheep com mission In lis annual renort will em brace a reeommerulation of a bounty of $1.60 to be paid for each animal Killed. It will point to the success with which that plan combated the evil some years aqo. The sheepmen of the state will also urge through their organization that such a bounty be given. Sheepman Will pay Half. One half of the sum paid, according to the plan now under advisement, will be paid by the sheepmen through a spe cial tax levied upon them for that pur pose. This is In line with the old law. Up until about six years ago Oregon paid a bounty of $2 per coyote. Under that system, according to Secretary Dan P. Smythe of the Oregon sheep commis sion, the covotes were practically exter minated, and just at the time the county had ceased to be to an expense of any Importance the law was repealed. As the result the animals have increased until they are a plague .greater than ever be fore in the state. For the first time In many years the valley woolgrowers are with the men of eastern Oregon In this matter. The need of the coyote bounty law will be discussed in this city Saturday at the meeting of the county woolgrow ers' association, and will also come up next week at the Heppner meeting. It is also probable that at the latter place the sheepmen will adopt the plan of or ganized fight against the beasts during the month of January, as during the past year when some 20.000- coyotes are estimated to have been killed In the one month.
