"The veto can be made a most effective weapon against pernicious legislation." "Aside from the veto power, the gov ernor has no authority in the matter of making or repealing laws," he says, and confines Ms activities to vigorous use or tne veto power ana a care io see that all laws are enforced with a rigor that tolerates no excuse from any person who violates them. Mr. McMahan declares that be, n elected, will work for the abolishment of various commissions, either through combining one or more under one head. or by abolishing them altogether. Planks Are Hamed. Amonr the numerous things which ha savs he will recommend to tne leg lslature for action Is the abolishment of the office of attorney general; the decrease of the number of supreme Judges from seven to five; an Increase in the Jurisdiction of justices ox me neaCA from J250 to X500. allowing re peal to the circuit court only when the amount of thing In controversy ex rooria 2O0 In value or where a constl tutional question or one involving ins rnnKtriictlon of the law is an issue mowing no ADDeal from the circuit court to the supreme court unless the thing or amount In controversy ex ceeds S750 In value or a question of law is Involved. He also stands for a law giving any taxpayer the right In his own narp.o to compel the accounting oi pu funds, misappropriated Dy any pun lin officer, and the giving of citizens a right of action and suit against the state. Tn addition he declares for th pay rriATit of taxes in two installments, tho prohibiUon of the sale or giving ox tobacco to minors, the adoption of a mnnti tutional amendment giving the governor authority to veto any pari of a bill and a law providing for non-partisan Judiciary. Would Consolidate Work. He believes the office of secretary of the board of control should be abolished and the duties performed hy th governor's nrlvate secretary with out extra compensation; that the of fices of corporation commissioner and Insurance commissioner be abolished and the work performed by the board of railroad commissioners. The immigration commission, board of barber examiners, child labor com mission, industrial welfare commis sion, state labor commission and state Industrial and accident commission should be consolidated under one head and he also believes that the state engineer's office, Btate land board and state water board should be combined so that one set of clerks and one sec retary can do the work.

Ten was served. ment to T. B. Neuhausen, state chair man, and to the members of the Pro gressive party. In which he sets forth his views and platform. The state ment follows: Hanley Hakes Statement. You have done me the honor to ask me to accept the nomination for United States senator on the Progressive ticket. I have also been urged by many whose sincerity and Judgment I respect to run Independent, but I am not will ing to do anything which looks as If I were scrambling for office. I have mv weaknesses like other men but. if I know myself, the strong appeal to me is that. If elected, I can do more for my native state than other gentlemen who will be candidates, notwithstand ing their superior education and politi cal expreince. I am myself persuaded perhaps out of vanity, that I know the needs of this state better than most men. I know the needs of the arid district, for I have lived there a larce portion of my life. I know the needs of our metropolis, Portland, for I have long studied its problems and insisted that there is but one real vital policy for Portland a deep free channel to the sea. So there is but one vital poll, cy for the state of Oregon: To get peo cl on the land and in happy homes. I know the need of the coast and the Interior, for railroads and the general need of highways; for the railroad Is no more necessary to the prosperity and comfort of the people than Is the highway. Differs mm BooseTelt. But I cannot take this nomination and seem in any way to repudiate my nast. I cannot let it seem that be cause of hunger for this office I have forsaken mv principles, therefore i must clearly remind you that It is com mon knowledge that I have differed from President Roosevelt In his conser vation policy (centralised In Washing ton), my idea being that the resources of this state belong to the people of this Btate and that whoever wants his nil are, let him come to collect It and live with us. However, on this ques tion I find myself fn accord with the declaration In the Progressive national platform which provideg for state or national control of natural resources. I wish to state, now that I have men tioned Colonel Roosevelt, that I sin cerely admire the stand he has taken for clean government, for betterment of the conditions under which people live and for the splendid service he rendered the nation in his support of the Panama canal project. Candidate Is Progressive. It is also well known that I refused to Btay on the Taft electoral ticket, on wnicn my name was written in by a rew or tne voters, because 1 believed It was the ticket of "stand-pat." and was not prorresRive. I like the title Progressive, and I assume it Is a party of a movement, and not of a man; but. as I. after mature delibera tion, supported Woodrow Wilson. I feel bound to him. and I believe him to be a projeressive in the large sense a Democrat in the best sense. So long as he acts as he has done for the good of the plain people on the lines of real democracy, I shall support him when ever I can consistently do so. It Is my understanding that the Progressive members of conirress have" given him their support on all measures of a pro gressive tendency. This outline of my Ideas, and my well known public statements will show you that If you see fit to nom inate me. you must do so with the un derstanding tnat l reserve my Inde pendence, repudiate none of my past, and Bhall. Judging the future by the past, uphold President Wilson In this great economic revolution he Is pro moting, in which he deserves the loyal support of every true citizen as much as if he were waging war. I sympathize with much, indeed mnt of thA Ppfl PTPfmlvA nlntfnrm. ntiri I do not seriously disagree with any' portion or it. With all the declarations which look to the betterment of human conditions the extension of woman suffrage, the abolition of child labor, and regulation of woman labor, and all things which will give the laborer more of the product of his toll, and to his children a greater hope for the fu ture. Frankly. I do not believe a so cial order Is right which has a very few overrlch and dangerously rich at the top and the toiling millions, sink ing Into poverty and degradation at the bottom. It must be changed, and I shall not be particular as to the name of the party that seeks to change It. Expressing my willingness upon these conditions to accept the nomina tion. I herewith announce that I frankly and openly stand for the Pro gressive nomiatlon for United States senator in the primary. Dr. Smith Is Speaker. At an open meeting of the Social Service club held at the school house Monday Dr. C. J. Smith, of Portland, candidate for the Democratic nomina tion for governor, and Miss Iva Har rington, of Gladstone, candidate for nomination of county clerk, gave talks on political Issues of the day.
