titude Toward the Direct Primary Law.
Independence, Or., Nov. 1 J. 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.
Being a free born American cltlsen. 1
do not like to He down "Like a beta
bored hound beneath his master's lash."
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. Here they" are:
Senators Adams of Marlon.
Brownell of Clackamas.
Cameron of Jackson. '
' DImick of Coo a.
Hunt of Multnomah.
Johnson of Wasco.
Josephl of Multnomah. 1 ' -
Kelly-of Linn. ' ' ..'

state of .Oregon . following suit AH
these resolutions and promises and laws
are violated even before the people hnv
had; an opportunity to try them out or
nfois .them, ?.'h-i:- i-e-vrr-
Backward again, a little more than a
deneds. and we find that some Of th
now; Republican leaders were then ,wn-
oering away from the Republican roia,
following after false gods, and .voting
for the unlimited co!nae of free stiver
at the ratio of 16 to 1 and advocating
these thoughts through the columns of
the Oregonlan.
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.

take part in a celebration arranged by
the Grand Trunk railway to mark the
fprrnal taking over of the tunnel under

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;

Is an increase in mlleaee of 1.634 miles.
The cost of new rails was nearly $13.-

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

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

RELENTLESS mil
OH SHEEP PESI
Wool Growers Will Urge the
Legislature to Increase
Coyote Bounty.
(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.
