more that he receives as fees for

In his official capacity.
"I am willing that my candidacy,
shall rest upon this issue. I am en
dorsed by both the platforms, and I
am endorsed by the voters."
Chamberlain on Partisanship.
In the reports of Mr. Chamberlain's
speech at Eugene, the Oregonlan said
that he said that he was not a party
man, but was a candidate of all par
ties. I asked Mr. Chamberlain while
here today, having come home to
spend Sunday, what he said upon
that occasion, and he answered:
"I told -.h people of Eugene
If I were elected governor I would
not he a jaitisan governor, but would
attempt to administer the duties of
the office fairly with due regard for
the rights of all the people."
Mr. Chamberlain will repeat this
promise everywhere he goes, and
those who know the man, know that
he will make the promise good. For,
it is characteristic of the man that
he keeps his promises, and the fact
that he holds the confidence of the
business'men of tlils city is in proof
that he does this.
The Philippine Question.
It is contended that the state elec
tion is not "per se" relative to the
Philippine question. The campaign
is essentially one involving the state
government, and the governor will
handle issues pertaining to home af
fairs. However, it is falsity to argue that
the democratic party of Oregon holds
a policy of "scuttle," for the plat
form explicitly declares that the
United StateB should move towards
independence only when the Philip
pine people are prepared for it. This
is precisely what the Roosevelt ad
ministration believes to be the true
American policy, as proven by utter
ances of United States Senator Bev
eridge at Indianapolis the other
day, when he was announced by the
Associated Press as speaking author
itatively for Roosevelt, and the latter
has since the speech taken the pains
to indorse what Beveridge said. The
senator said without reservation, or
without qualification, that the repub
lican party proposes to give to the
Filipinos independence so soon as
they are prepared. H. W. Corbett,
in his letter to the Oregonlan in Aug-,
ust, 1900, declared for independence
for the Filipinos in even more ex
plicit terms than are used in the
democratic platform this year. Fur
thermore, the last national utterance
of the republican party regard'ng the
Philippines pronounces what the
democratic platform does this year.
Hence, when the republican papers
of Oregon represent the democratic
party of this Btate as stanl'.UK for
"scuttle" policy, they ara well they
are lying. That is good, old Anglo
Saxon, but it expresses the truth.
Mr. Chamberlain, in his campaign
addresses, has stood for these prin
ciples, which he authorizes as a cor
rect expression from him:
What He Holds.
The United States holds valid title
to the island's.
The business interests deserve to
be recognized by the inauguration of
free tariff relations between the
islands and this country.
The people of "those Islands deserve
to be treated according to the same
principles that obtain in the treat
ment of all territories of the United
States.
When, and not before they are fit
ted for self-government, they should
have it.
Displeasing as is may be to cer
tain republican newspaper men of
this state, it remains that it is in
keeping with the business sentiment
of the country, and therefore has
their endorsement. It also coincides
with the views of the rank and file
of the citizens, and therefore has
their Indorsement. With the indorse
ment of both the business men and
the average citizen, it would appear
that Mr. Chamberlain has rather
good following -throughout the state.
That one or two papers In Oregon
do not like him as a candidate, In
view of these citations above given,
merely shews that they are lonesome
in opposition to the Multnomah
statesman on the Philippine ques
tion. JOHN E. LATHROP.
