and has many tlmesjbyresolu

seems to be a crisis In .ths life of this
much cherished and desired principle in

It proper for the grange to reaffirm H
adherence to-4t and hold that the people

"Resolved, By McMinnville , grange j
that we reaffirm our adhesion to the,
principle of the initiative and referen
dum; that w hold it to be just and
right that the people of any Stat,
ahotild have the legal right to exercise
this privilege if they so desire. In mat-.
ters of legislation; that-it is no viola

"Resolved, That we hold that to
pledge the members of the legislature

J certain selected persons for president
and vice president; and be It further
. "Resolved, That McMinnville grange
hereby pledges the sum of $10 to the
fund being raised by the various
granges in the state for defending the

People Xnow Kind.
In his letter to The Journal accom
panying the resolutions, Mr. Rlchfcrd
... son, master of McMinnville grange, says
of the grange, with reference to the
senators!) ip: "They favor the one and
;t will stand by the one that the people
selected, let his party affiliations be
what they may." He writes:
"One of the principles laid down Sn
the Declaration of Independence, was
that when any government become de
' structlve of certain rietit ni lifwr.
. ties of the people, it then became the
, right and the duty of the people to J
, vumifiv nuii. iurm oi government ana
'. establish a form of government that
. would secure them the right and priv
ileges which were denied to them. The
principles set forth in the Declaration
. of Indpendence are the principles for
which our fathers fought and won.
"It Is true that when this govern
ment was established it was made
; representative in form. But the right
of the people to change this form was
, never surrendered. The right of the
feople to take-the making and unmak
ng of the laws out of the hands of
our representative bodies and pass upon
them themselves, has only laid dorm
ant; it never has been dead. As long
; as our representative government
- obeyed the wishes of the people and
. legislated In the Interest and for the
good of the whole people, this form of
'government was the best, as It was
less cumbersome to handle. But by de-
- press it has drifted entirely away from
Its original intentions. It first drifted
. from a representative government into
a parttsian government, and rrom a par
i tisian government into a government
'controlled and run in the Interests of
corporate greed. The representatives
In our legislatures as well as a great
many of our civil officers, are nothing
more nor nothing less than pliant tools
or corporate interests.
Fight StU Influence.
To counteract this growing evil of
corporate Influence the people have
-availed themselves of the right and
privilege of the initiative and rereren
dum. The establishment of this prin
clple in our state government does not
overthrow the representative system,
but only acts as a veto power upon
our representative body when it re
fuses such laws as the people demand
or passes laws that are oppressive, for
tnii nurnose of- securing selfish ends.
"The granpe has always favored the
election or initea grates senators oy a
direct vote of the people. Through a
provision In the) direct primary law,
passed bjr the pople--jr virtue of the
Initiative, this ngnt nas oeen virtually
secured to the people. - The grange has
no partisan or personal ends to serve
in urging tne legislature to elect cnarn
berlain.. He nor say other man Is the
choice of the grange. They favor the
one. and will stand by the one, that the
people selected, let his party affilia
tions be what they may. The reasons
given why the legislature should turn
down Chamberlain, are so flimsy .they
hardly deserve notice.

law governing the election of senator is
violated, as it requires the legislature
to vote for senator at a certain speci
fied limn, and that Chamberlain was
elected previous to this time. If Cham

on this ground, so should Taft be re-

college to meet at .a certain time and

These same electors were pledged before
thetrlection to support a certain nan

his name is wunam h. Tart.
"It Is urged, that as the Republican
candidate -for president carried the
state by 26,000 - majority, it re
leases the legislature from electing
Chamberlain. If this is sound doctrine
a great many persons elected to office
would have to walk down and out.

on .the 'Democratic ticket was .elected

fall by 700 majority. Ought he to be
kicked out of office? The states of
Minnesota. Indiana and Ohio were car
ried by the Republican candidate for
president by large majorities, while at
the same election they all elected Dem

the legislature is the reelection of Sen
