At last it came, with a vigor that made Mueller laugh with Joy. Slowly we gathered speed, picking up our heavy 400-foot trail rope that had lain most of its length on the ground while we had been becalmed.

I BROKEN PLEDGES AS THE ORE- f I G0N1AN VIEWED THEM HI t895 I In 1895 the Oregonian criticised most bitterly two members of the legislature from Multnomah county who had promised to Vote. for J. N. Dolph for United States senator, but who afterward repudi-; , ated their pledge and voted for another candidate. At that , time the Oreeonian saw nothing "unconstitutional" in the promises made by these legislators and its columns were filled with the most, unsparing condemnation of their treachery. Following is a portion j of an ctjjtorial published in the Oregonian of January 26,' 1895: v , "TherVVas not a voter , in Multnomah county last June who did not fully understand .that if the representative legislative ticket were ; elected its members "were to vote for J. N. Dolph. The convention , would have nominated no one who. did not give his word and ? promise that he would so vote. It was utterly impossible that any- ' one who did not profess to be a Dolph man should have been nomi- . . nated and elected. The very fact that all had agreed to support ; : Dolph in response to the general demand brought them large num- ' bers of votes. It caused many business men and many Democrats to vote tor the Republican legislative candidates." , J The editorial "names the two men "'-who had beirn recreant -to their pledge, and continues: "THEY WERE NOMINATED SOLELY IN CONSEQUENCE THEM AND FOR THEM AND BEEN ELECTED HAD IT NOT THEY-WOULD CARRY OUT Ur - lnr, V U 1 E.

The primary law of that state Imposes an extra obligation as well as a compulsory pledge, which are prerequisites to a can didacy.
