Lee Paget, the prohibition candidate. A. E.-Clark, the Progressive candidate, sent the seeond reply, and he, like Mr. Paget, declares emphatically that -the result of the election next Tuesday will be final s far as he Is concerned. Mr. Clark says he favors the extension of the Oregon system into every state and into natlopat affairs and concludes as follows: c "You ask If I would carry the fight fOY. United States senator Into the leg islature 'if defeated Most certainly not. The will of the people as expressed at the polls should be conclusive. r "You further ask 'lif t will abide by the decision of the voters as expressed at the election on November 6 of this year.

In his reply to Ackerson's letter Ben Selling says: "As I have never made a private or secret promise concerning official. con duct, I do not feel that I should make any special promise to Ackerson, and therefore I wish through the columns or your raper to advise the public exactly what I Will -do If r-ara -defeated, -.--If. that unexpected contingency should arise I promise tha people of Oregon that I not only win not interfere witn the election of the person receiving the popular vote, but I will do everything within my power 'to help and assist In carrying out tha expressed wlan of the people by assisting in every way i can In securing th election of such a can-aidaw-by-thar-lejlslatwe -ei-eWl -re- eei tr'th tnoat- votes -of t he people? j- In 1907 I did all I could to assist in. -the lecUaiL..of .Mr,Eourne after he had been chosen by the people, in 190 I again did all I could to assist In the election of Mr. uamberlaln after he had been chosen by the people.

(Special to The Journal.) ' Seattle, Wash., Nov. 2. Oir the eve of election Washington Democrats are In a most hopeful frame of mind, there being every Indication that Wilson will carry the state, while the chances of Earnest Lister, Democratic guberna torial candidate, are excellent There is a strong Roosevelt sentiment in Washington, but even the. most con servative ' Democrats believe, that Wll Bon wilt get the state with the Repub lican vote split between Taft and Roose velt. . None but Republican committee men deny that Taft will be third. Despite desperate efforts to save Governor M. E. Hay, there is a strong probability that Lister will defeat him. The latter has prosecuted a fine cam paign and the attacks by the Hay fac tion on Hodge, the Progressiva candi date, have 'turned thousands of votes to Lister, but have not strengthened Hay. t Hodge Is " now conceded to be practically out of the race. Tomor row a score of prominent Progressives will send out a statewide appeal for Lister, basing their support on the as sumption that he will assure a Progres sive and economical administration. During this week it is estimated that 28,000 votes have been diverted from Hodge to Lister In King oounty alone, and this proportion also holds good in Snohomish, Whatcom and Skagit coun ties, where Hodge was strong before the recent attacks on him. Lister galas have frightened the ' administration, which is using every , means to save Hay's strength.

We have a peculiar right to ask that Oregon lead in this fight for the national Progressive' ticket, for Oregon has taken the lead In setting the standard for progressiveness within the states, and now she would be false to herself if she abandons the Progressive cause when for the first time there is a .chance ol bridging it ta a national victory. - - It rs utterly hopeless to expect any real Progressive action by the old parties. Each Is boss-ridden, each Is privilege-controlled. A victory for either means a victory for bosses like Barnes and Penrose in the Republican party, for bosses like Taggert and those in control of . Tammany-HalHtt-the Democratic party. - More6ver, the Democratic party by its adherence to an outward lissex Faire philosophy, and by its making of state rights a fetish, has abso-' Jutely barred Itself from all chance of real usefulness to the cause of the people in the nation ' as .a whole. : .y;"''' : "v "' VV ''rA'C; " '?'
