SENATOR BOURNE ENTERS RACE TO SUCCEED HIMSELF (Continued From Page One.) ment for Bourne to be printed -tar -the voter's pamphlet by what is called the "Bourne Popular Government club," and signed by A. A. Muck as chairman, H. A, Darnell, Dan Kellaher, Lute Pease, Gra ham Glass, Morris ll. Wells, George T. Atchley, J. Frank Slnnott and Russell Hawkins. Statement Is Sharp, "By lies, it begins, "by unfairness, by suppression of the facts regarding his service to the state, and by shameless violation of the corrupt practices act. Senator Jonathan Bourne Jr. was de feated In the prima lies. "In five days, 16,000 citizens of all classes and parties voiced their protest against such methods by signing a petl tion nominating Mr. Bourne as the popular government candidate for the eenatorshlp. This Is by far the largest nominating petition ever presented In Oregon. Not one person In ten declined to sign. "Mr. Bourne refused to take part In the movement for his nomination, but such a spontaneous demand from more than 12 per cent of the voters from all parts of the state could not be Ignored. It was Mr. Bourne's duty to accept. The people have the right and want the chance to recall their decision in the primaries. Righting a Wrong, ""StreeesS"r"a can"u'ra'aFe'"lfirbugHvTb lation of the corrupt practices act would break down rather than uphold the primary law. Jonathan Bourne has made good. His defeat was a wrong to the state. We must right that wrong." After this comes a review of Bourne's service In the senate, followed by a lit tle more vitriol that reads as follows: "The senior senator from this state has been made the victim of one of the most damnable plots ever hatched to politically assassinate a public man. "Durinir all the time he was at Wash ington striving- for the people, he was made a target for a series of the most malicious and unscrupulous newspaper attacks. Only a few papers treated him fairly. His public acts were mis represented; his motives impugned. Press dispatches dealing with his splen did work at the national capital were studiously distorted or wholly elimin ated from the news columns. Tt la not right; It Is not Just; it is not American fair play that this conspiracy should succeed against a good and faithful servant of the people. "Senator Bourne will be more useful to Oregon In his second term than he was in his first He has done more for the State In his first term than any other senator Oregon has had. He is in a better position than ever to do effective work for his constituents." Search for Missing Girl Is Vain. United Pres. Id TV'lre.l Waterwlch, N. J., Oct. 6.

Clover-Leaf Pharmacy, Cloverdale, CaU TAFT By m Ell State Measures on Proposed Bill Provides for an Eight Hour Dajr on All Pablle Work ta the State of Oregon. An absolute eight hour day, with necessary exception, as - to .times of emergency, on all public work In Ore gon, la the purpose of a bill submitted to tha voters this year through the efforts of th State Federation of La bor. With it Is coupled a revision of the law relating to pay for labor and material on public work to conform to this relationship. The bill provides that no person em ployed by tha state, county, municipali ty, municipal corporation or subdivision, either directly or through another, shall be required or permitted to work more than eight hours any one day or more than 48 hours any one week, except in case of necessity or emergency or where required by public policy, but no ex ception shall be presumed to exist when Other labor of like skill and efficiency which has not been employed full time Is available. Double Fay for Overtime. In case work is required more than the eight hours, double pay Is ordered for all overtime. Contractors, subcon tractors, agents or other persons in au thority who violate the terms of the law are declared guilty of a misde meanor and made subject to a fine of from 850 to $1000 or Imprisonment from five days to one year, or both, zattla Effect in Xnlt&omah. The eight hour provisions would ef fect little change in conditions in Mult nomah county and the city of Portland, as a state law already limits labor for the county to eight hours and the city charter makes eight hours a day's work for the city. It would, iowevtr, widen the eight hour law to a few employes who may not now be Included, employes of the school district or Port of Portland. It would enact a general rule for double pay for orrire, and would impose a strict construction upon the necessity for overtime work. It would have ap plication in some of the smaller cities of the state where no eight hour law Is now In operation- The MIL of course, does not apply to salaried officers of state, county or city and has Its chief application to thOs employed by contractors on pub lic work. Principle Generally Accepted. The eight hour principle on public work is now generally aocepted, and there appears to be no active opposition to this bill. In case of labor difficul ties or dlput as to the existence of an emergency requiring extra hours of work, however, there Is some uncertain ty as to the effect of the law. It says no extra work may be per mitted or required, even 'In an emer gency, "when other labor of like skill and efficiency which has not been em ployed full time Is available." It Is easy to suppose a condition under which dispute might arise as to whether outside labor was of "like efficiency and skill," or whether It was available if lta availability were not brought to the notice of the person in authority. The first part of the bill deals with the question of securing the pay of laborers and material men In connection with public work. This part of the Jjm..la..Jjlftrs...pa. ft. section (266 of Lord's Oregon laws. It has been criticised by A. T. Lewis, an expert attorney on mechanic'! Hens, who says this part of the measure has no merit because the subject is better cov ered in the existing law and Is not needed. He objects that the bill should have been confined to the eight hour law sections. C. E. S. Wood, who drafted the meas ure, says the proposed law improves in several respects the present law regard ing the protection of laborers and ma terial men. In the first' place, he points out, its provisions are broader, so no question can arise as to its ap plication to every public authority In Oregon. Again, he says, It removes any doubt as to the application of the law to all kinds of work, whereas the present lew Is open to the construction that it relates only to buildings. Beyond these changes, the main ob H E O W L- BY NIGHT Three BY DAY UiTB Portland Union Depot FOR TACOMA AND SEATTLE STEEL FLIER 8:30 JL M. PUGET SOUND EXPRESS 1:45 p.m. SHASTA LIMITED 3:00 P.M.

While doing; ; this, section was redrawn an In the view of the advocates Of the MIL strengthened. As to whether It was strengthened Is the point on which opin ions differ. , The state or any county, city or ub dlvlslon cannot be ued, as a matter of public policy, if labor e-r materials are not paid for by the contractor. ,8o by the law of 1S0S,. containing the see- . tlon 6266 above referred to. It 1 pro vided that bond shall be required from the contractor to cover any default Of that kind. Then tf hs falls to pa the men working for hira or the mea furnishing material, he may be sued on the bond. The new law would exact as another obligation of the contractor Id every bond a promts of compliance with the eight hour da requirement For fall-. ure to observa this he would become liable on his bond. The chief difficulty In the applica tion of the present law has been that public officials charged with the duty of procuring the bond from the caa-. tractor have often neglected to do so, . Lawyers generally hold that publio of- . flclals are probably personally liable for neglect of duty In this respect but there are difficulties jn such suits suf ficient to discourage such litigation, The new law would not change the lia bility of public officials, If it does ex.
