Under the Proposed Constitution!

The following clrculor letter from
Alex Sweek, chairman of the Oregon
democratic state centrul committee
urging democrats to vote for Justice
Robert 8. Bean of the supreme court
to succeed himself, In order to secure
a non-partisan supreme court under
the proposed amendment to the state
constitution The letter Is as follows:
Portland, Ore., April II, 1808
Dear Sir: At the June election the
proposed amendment to our state
constitution will be voted upon and
probably adopted, by which the Jqus
tlces of the supreme Court will be in
creased from three to five, and the
two additional Justices will be select
ed at the November election.
At a meeting of the democratic
state central committee, held In Port
land, January 18, 1908, by a unani
mous vote a resolution was adopted
declaring In favor of making the Ju
diciary of the state non-partisan,
thereby carrying out the plan Initiat
ed by Governor Chamberlain of se
lecting men for the various Jurlclal
offices with reference to their quali
fication, regardless of their political
affiliations.
Under this resolution, Messrs. W.
H. Holmes of Salem, J. K. Weather
ford of Albany, and N. A. Peery of
Portland, all prominent attorneys and
well known democruts, were appoint
ed, as a committee, to look Into the
question, and to determine upon the
best method of carrying the spirit of
this resolution Into effect,-
After a full Investigation of the
subject this committeo has reported
In favor of electing the udlclary In
such a manner as to finally Insure a
proportional representation of each
of the political purties upon the
bench, and have decided ha Mr.
Chief Justice Beau should be nomi
nated by all parties to succeed him
self. Ho Is the only nominee of the re
publican party, and his high sanding
aH a Jurist, and eminent standing as a
citizen make It fitting and udvlsable
that the democratic party of Oregon
not only offer no opposition to hla
nomination, but as evidence of their
sincerity, and to Insure his election,,
place his name on their ticket as
well
Such course will arouse the people
to the propriety of having a nonpar
tisan Judiciary. After the principle
Is once established the republicans of
the state will have an opportunity of
placing themselves on record in fa
vor of this movement at the coming
November election, when It is prob
able that under the proposed amend
ment tow now Justices will have to be
selected by the people to succeed the
two commissioners, now aiding and.
In effect, constituting a part of the
court.
For these reasons no name will be
printed on the democratic ballot to
be used at the primaries on April, 17,
and a blank will be left In which to
write the name of the person to be
nominated. In conformity to the
wishes Of the democratic state and
sub-committees, you are requested to
wolte. and to cause all your democrat
ic friends to write in this blank the
name of Hon. Robert 8. Bean, of
Lane county, placing an X before the
name, thus:
"For Justice of the Supreme Court,
Vote for one."
X Robert S Bean, of Lane County.
In this manner his nomination by
both parties, as well as his election,
will be assured. We will then trust
to the good JudRrtient and fairness of
the people of the state to see at the
election In November next, that of the
five men who occupy the supreme
bench not more than three of them
shall be of the same political party,
thereby assuring the nonpartlsanshlp
of that court. This Is the effect of
the course adopted In Massachusetts
and New York, with the result that
the appellate courts of those states
occupy the foremost rank among the
highest courts of the various states.
Very sincerely yours,
ALEX SWEEK.
Chairman Democratic State Central
Committee.
tlculars of the voyage, from the Co
lumbia river. Captain Crowe Is In
structed to forward the purse to the
winner when the completion of tlm
passages has been officially reported,
The Celbum will clear for Queens
town with a cargo of wheat, while
the Jordanhlll will call at the same
port bound for Knglund with a lum
ber shipment. Laden with lumber,
the Acme will go to New York. It Is
claimed that It takes Just as long as
It does to Europe. Hence if she is
the first to complete the voyage her
skipper will be declared the winner.
The trio are completing their car
goes and will be ready to sail about
the same time If one should get two
or three days the start of the others,
that fact will be taken Into consider
ation. In other words, the ships that
Is out the least number of days will
carry off the prize.
Each of the big craft Is considered
speedy, and the result of the 14,000
mllo race will be awaited with una
bated Interest by local mariners. A
few years ago Captain McKay took
the Acme from Hongkong to Balti
more In 90 duys, a voyage which usu
ully occupies four months.
The Jordanhlll has made a num
ber of rattling passages from the Pa
cific coast to the United Kingdom,
while the Celtlcburn Is regarded as a
marvel, when It comes to cutting
through the bounding seas. The trio
are in command of seadogs of long
experience, who huve the reputation
of knowing how to take advantage of
every stirring breeze.
