THE OREGON DAILY . JOURNAL, PORTLAND, THURSDAY EVENING; SEPTEMBER Z2, 1S10. SPEL'DSr.lOiJEYTO EDUCATE MS; 11 "SLIII" FU1 Senator Bourne Answers False Stories' Concerning Interest He Jakes in Campaign; Fights for Progressives. , , United States Senator Jonathan Bourn Jr. denies charges and, lnnsqndos that he is spending money for the eleotlon of candidates in the primary campaign, In a statement issued to the press he tells just how much and tor what pur poses he is sending money, to promote the triumph of progressive lae&s in gov ernment. He says: , "Efforts have been" made by dishonest newspapers ' and - public speakers - to frighten advocates of the'dlrect primary and of Statement- No. 1 by assertions that I am using a 'slush fund" for the purchase of newspaper influence, bo far as I ara personally concerned, this, like alt other false statements about me, would go unnoticed.' I deem it but Jus tice to the progressive newspaper ana progressive workers, generally, however, to make this declaration: "I have not paid, promised, or loaned a dollar directly or indirectly to any newspaper, candidate, or publlo speaker during this campaign, except for my usual subscriptions to five daily papers and the purchase of 60 extra copies of one issue of one of the evening papers. I do not own a dollar's interest in any newspaper. Xzposss Assembly Plan. "On my return to Oregon last fall I quickly- realized that an effort would be made through the assembly plan to restore under a new, name the old. three shell game of politics for the personal benefit of disgruntled politicians and special interests. On October 18, 1909, I issued an address to the people of Ore gon exposing the efforts and methods of the sssenablyltes. At an expense of less than 1000 I had printed and mailed about 0,000 copies of this address to as many citizens of Oregon I urged, and still urge, the defeat of all candidates , who sought or accepted an assembly nom ination. Retention of a great funda mental principle is of more importance to society than any. individual or any party. "I donated $1000 to an offloer. of the People's Power league to print and cir culate my argument and defray expenses incident to the circulation of petitions to submit under the initiative my bill enlarging the present scope of the pri mary law and providing for direct ex pression of choice of party candidates for president and vice president, direct election of delegates to national party conventions and direct nomination of candidates for presidential electors, -On the fifth of last May I delivered an address in the United States senate showing how Oregon,., through her Ini tiative and referendum, direct primary, corrupt practices act and recall had evolved, enacted and demonstrated the '. " best form of government known to. the world. - . Issues 1,300,000 Copies," ' "Since the delivery. of that address I have had nation wide applications Cor over 1,600,000 copies of the address and have sent out over 1,300,000 copies at an expense to myself of probably $5000 for printing and part of the distribution. I expect to spend as much more in the same work; Can any honest, intelll gent man object , to this publicity of Oregon's demonstration of the only known true government by the people? "in addition to the , expenditures I have mentioned, in behalf of the per- petuatlon : and ' extension ox ' Oregon's popular government laws, . the only money I have spent for political pur poses since this campaign began was $20 which I paid for a half page adver tisement in the state fair program .urg ing the defeat of every assembly nom inee. - " "This . explanation regarding my ex penditures is sufficient answer to the malicious charge that progressive news papers and -progressive candidates have been Subsidized by me. Neither myself nor any other, individual la or can be the. chief issue in thin campaign. The question involved is whether the people shall retain their power to select their candidates or shall delegate that power to a convention under the name of 'as sembly' chosen and manipulated by pol itical .bosses representing special Inter ests and antagonistic to all progressive laws and all extension of the system of popular government" urn nir hi IK) Ult II ra i die lii COLORADO STORm Of This Number One Woman and Two Men Killed by Lightning. ticultural society having decided on the change in location because of tbe no usual demand on the part of prospective exhibitors for space.
