JS'o Doubt as to Huston's Nomination.
S. B.Huston, candidate for the
nomination for congress on the
republican ticketf is ia the lead
to-day lor this nomination.
While not a boastful man, and
making extravagant claims,
the reports from this Congression
al District show him to be
leading his opponent in this
race.
Mr. Huston stands to day for
those things which the common
citizen wants and needs. Born
a poor boy, he has gradually
pushed his way to the front until
to-day he is one of the most able,
in(t respectable and honored
citizens of the state. His life
Sras been spent in Oregon, help
ing to build up our factories and
devt-lop our iudustries.
His work has been out in the
Lusy, hustling world, among his
fellows. This experience espec
ially fits him for this position.
Oregon wants to-day iu congress
a clean man, an able man, a
practical man, a man who has
sprnt his lite toiling with the
err; asses, thereby fitting himself
for he responsible du'ies devolv
ing upon a c -ngressmaw. Iu S.
7B Huston onr people have such
a man. His character is clean,
fois life one ot toil and work.

-and "legislation granting
the greatest good to the greatest
number," should entitle him to
-liof-ral ooDuIar vole. Vote for
3-1 mum for congress.
Republicans: Remember that
S. B. Huston in his platform
stands f-ide by side with Roose
velt in fiyhtiriff the graft of
railroids bv favoring a Maxiiim
State Treasurer.
Although there are six candi
dates in the field for State Treas
urer it is now conceded that
either Ralph Hoyt of Portland or
.E. V. Carter of Jackson county
-will be nominated.
Mr. Carter says, "If elected I
will reside in Salem and give the
office my personal attention."
lr. Hoyt is silent on this point.
Mr. Carter says, "If elected I
vi turn ever to the state every
do.lar of the interest paid on
state funds." This money, from
$10,000 to $20,000 per annum,
lias heretofore been retained by
the treasurer.
Mr. Hoyt is silent on this point
and it is fair to assume that he
intends to pocket this interest
money as has been done in the
past. Will you vote for a Port
land man and thus continue
this graft? A vote for E. V.
C-,rer is a vote to stop this graft
-and reduce taxes correspondingly.
fund. This fund is loaned on mortgage,
at the rate of 6 per rent and secured by
hundreds of farms in every county of the
state. Should the fund, instead of being
loaned out as it comes in, be kept in the
the state treasury, interest on money
would advance two or three per cen'.
Then would come the bankers' harvest
and the borrowers' trouble. As men
who lived through the panic of ten
years ago kno well, a high rate o; in
terest with orokerage added means th
auction block for many and many a
farm. Now is the time to be wide awake
keep the school fund away from bank
manipulation. It is the balance wheel
that regulates the interest rate in this
state. We do business on the credit
sysem and dear money for the bor
rower and hard times for all of us except
bankers and brokers intrenched behind
a large reserve fund, walk hand in hand.
Would the bankers and brokers like to
keep the 6 per c-nt loaned out or would
they prefer to have it hoarded np and
deposited with favorite banking institu
tions? Answer for yourself.
The united effort of the bankers seems
to be to defeat Judge Ryan and to land
someone of their number in the state
treasurer's office. Hot, of Portland, is
a banker; Carter, f Ashland, is a
banker; Atkin, of Huntington, is a
banker. But the great mass of the
voters of the state of Oregon are not
bankers and every vote cast in the April
nrimary is going to count in this struggle.
The vote for nomination of state treas
urer should be cast with a full realiza
tion of the situation. Oregon City
Courier.
Think of these Things.
Endorses Ryan.
The contest for the republican notniua
tio i of state treasurer has plainly na'
rowed down to Tlios. F. Kyan, county
jud:e f Clackamas county : Ralph
Hoyt, a l'mland banker aud E. V. Car
ter, a Southern Oregon banker. Looking
at the tjiuvtion as it now stands, an
issue of r'iit concern coiifrouts the peo
ple of the state, inasmuch as it is appar
ent i':ut, the banking interests of Oregon
are making a desperate eilJit to secure
CO -.trji .f tlie public fund;'. What is the
meaning of mis? Have th backs ad
vau -e information of a coming money
Btrine (r ? If tliis is the situation then
it is .O jsible to understand hy the
birk-rs' "inner circle" is bending every
Biaew to land one of their number iu the
staie. treasurer) office.
Tne uiouey under the care oi the state
tressurer, including the pudlic school
fund, is au iuiuieuse sum. If it can be
used, in time of a money panL, to bol
ster -p banks tottering on the verge of
bankruptcy, the bankers may well ex
pend a handsome fortune to get control
of the state money. This is good enough
for the banks but Low ab?".t imperiling
.the hard earned co t.ibu-'oi o' every
rtaxi aver to the rum.:. lsesofthe
.state as well as the puu;. rv;.ool fund?
There is another side U it. The secre
tary of state is very likely to be a Salem
banker. Should we have a banker for
secretary of etate and a banker for etate
..treasurer, these two would,- absolutely
y inlr9lMh&-IoAn.n'f
If I am nominated and elected
I will, during my term of office,
work for more help for the pub
lic schools and liberal appropria
tion for the State Agricultural
college. I am against all class
legislation, the Normal school
graft and political bossism. I
favor equal and just laws, econ
omy in legislation, just distribu
tion of taxes and taxation of cor
porate franchises.
Metto: "A square deal for the
taxpayer. Signed Statement
Number i."
The attention of republican voters is
called toabove platform. Mr. Carter made
his platform brief and to the point. Noth
ing is contained in it but what he may
be depended "upon to perform. Lookii.g
over the journal of the house of the last
session of the legislature shows his vote
iu every instance to have been on the
side of the people.
We can see no reason why Mr. Carter
should not be re nominated at the com
ing primary election nextFiiday. Pam
courtesy demands it for when an official
has given satisfaction there is an unwrit
ten law in politics entitling him to a sec
ond term.
His experience gained at the last ses
sion will enable him to do better and
more legislative wjrk, as it will not re
quire halt of the session for him to
familiarize himse.f with the legislative
work as is the experience of all new
members. We can see no ieaou why
Virgil- Carter should not be re-nominate.i
and re-elected.

Platform of A. J. Johnson,
Benton County Candidate for
State Senator.
Nomination for
If I am nominated and elected I will, during my term of
office, favor:
Stale aid in permanently improving; main highways.
Absolute municipal control of public utility franchises.
No omnibus appropriation bills; every appropriation on its
own merits.
Gross earnings tax on express, telegraph, telephone, and
like companies operated for profit.
Proper security for State deposits; interest to accrue to the
State.
State supervision of State and private banks and trust companies.
Law forbidding acceptance of railroad passes by public of-..
ficials.
Only one Normal School; better public schools.
A greater State Agricultural College.
Amendment of Corvallis Water Bill, providing for elective
commission.
Faithful service for public good; no special or personal in
terests to serve.
Motto: "Public good paramount to corporate interests."
Signed Statement No. 1.
By an oversight we omitted to give in our write-up of
Friday the fact that Mr. Johnson had . signed Statement
Number 1, which is as follows:
"I further state to the people of Oregon as well as to the
people of my legislative district, that during my term of office
I will always vote for that candidate for United States Senator
in congress who has received the highest number of the peo
ple's votes for the position at the general election next preced
ing the election of senator in congress, without regard to my
individual preference.
The Santiam News of March 9th says: For the benefit of our Benton
county friends, now that A. J. has consented to stand for the Senate, we will
say that every man, woman, and child in this vicinity has known him as a boy,
as a young man and as a mature man of affairs. As a proof that Scio has held
Mr. Johnson in high esteem, he has been elected to and has filled nearly every
office within her gift. As Alderman, as Ma3'or, he was ever broad minded and
progressive; yet economical in the expenditure of the people s money. As
School Director he was actuated at all times with a desire to give our school .
district the very best teachers that the amount of public funds would warrant.
When chairman of the board of directors, the board erected, in Scio, one of the
handsomest school buildings in the valley; amply large for the needs ot the
district and at a cost so low that the people wonder how such a building could
be erected for the amount it cost.
As a business man, Mr. Johnson when in Scio, was progressive and public
spirited and ever had the welfare of his home town at heart His four years,
service as State Senator from Linn county, is a matter of public record and the
Senate Journal, during his service, is open to the inspection of our Benton
county friends. Mr. Johnson is essentially a man that does things and he has
knowledge and ability enough to generally accomplish what he undertakes.
The News congratulates A. J. in the high estimation that he seems to be held
by Benton county citizens. It assures them that they will make no mistake if
they select our former fellow-townsman to represent them in the State Senate.

Republican Candidate for United States Senator.
CHAMPION OF STATEMENT ONE.
Jonathan Bouine, Jr., candidate before the Republican primaries for the nomi
nation of United States Senator in Congress, for the Jong term commencing March
4, 1907. was born in New Bedford, Mass., February 23, 1855; was a member of the
class of 1877 at Harvard University; came to Portland May 16, 1878; was a Republi
can member of the Oregon Legislature in the session of 1885 and the extra session
of 1886; was one of Oregon's delegates to the Republican National Convention of
1888 and Oregon's member ot the Republican National Committee from 1888 to 1892,
and a delegate to the Republican National Convention of 1892; and was elected aa
a Mitchell Republican to the Oregon Legislature in 1896.
Mr. Bourne has been more prominently identified with the development of the
mineral resources of Oregon than any other man in the state, having expended in
the last 20 years over $1,000,000 of his ewn money in the acquisition and develop
ment of Oregon mines.
While Mr. Bourne has had his residence and main office at Portland since
1878, he has had another office at New Bedford, Mass., and has carried on the busi
ness of his father's estate since 1889, which makes him familiar with many of the
large interests and leading men in the East. These qualifications, in conjunction
with his tremendous energy, originality, executive ability and experience in busi
ness and political affairs pre-eminently qualify him for making an aDle and influ
ential Senator for the state of Oregon.
Mr. Bourne has always favored extending the direct power of the people over
their government as tar as possible. He was one of the leading spirits in the
Initiative and Referendum movement from 1896 until it was approved by the
voters at the June election in 1902. In 1904 he was a member of the executive
committee of the Direct Primary Nominations League, and holds the same position
with the People's Power League at this time. In all these movements he has oeen
one of the few to guarantee the necessary expenses of preparing and proposing
their measures to the people.
He fays that the choice of United States Senator should be by direct vote of
the people, and that the Legislature should "be compelled to elect the man the
people select. To accomplish this result, he is championing Statement No. 1 of the
primary election law as the only method by which public opinion may be crystal
lized and made effective upon the Legislature.
In his petition for nomination he says:
'If I am nominated and elected I will, daring my term
' office, favor:

Amending National Constitution for People's Election of
United States Senators.

National Control of Corporations in Interstate Commerce.
