Editorial
Tlll.'RSPAY,
Oregon Voters Complimented.
The Walla Walla Bulletin publishes the following complimentary
and sensible editorial on the election of United States senator in Ore"on
at the recent state election:
The state of Oregon has again coin3 to the front as one of the
great states of the Union by elaborating and demo- strating the great
est principle of our Republican form of government, that the people rule
Direct primary laws for the election of candidates for United States
senators, as well as other oflicials, ha ve been enacted in many states,
but none embody a statement No 1, that the candidate receiving the
majority of votes cast at the primary shall, regardless of party, be
elected.
The nomination nf Ci-ndida.tes for United States senator by the
people has been a great step in the reform movement. Why the elec
tion of senators by the people should be termed visionary is beyond us.
The fact that in a Republican state like Oregon a Democratic senator
should receive a tmjoiity of the votes cast, is no slur on the people, but
a compliment to their intelligence.
By voting for Chamberlain, they evinced a desire for his election
and i hey should have him. While we strongly believe in the tenets of
the Republican party and while we prefer the election of a Republican
wherever possible, we realize that the election of Chamberlain was not
a blow at Republicanism, in that the rest of the Republican ticket wa3
elected, but it evidenced the fact that the people of Oregon w 'tit Cham
berlain to represent them in the United States senate, and the Oregon
legislature is in duty bound to send him there. It sounds inconsistent
that Republicans should elect a Democrat to office, but if Ihe majority
of Urn people choose a man to represent them, the highest principle of
our electoral form of government by and for the people, the apparent
inconsistency should therefore vanish.
The American people are becoming bettor acquainted as to their
rights and privileges and t ie power of the ballot. By being able to
vote directly for a United States senator I hey feel that, they will be
tiuly represented in the United States sena e. They feel that the man
they want is the best man for them, and party lined often become elim
inated when they are seeking the best man.
Judge Cake is an able, conservative man, but he is not as well
known to the people at large as Chamberlain, who by his two terms as
governor has become well acquainted with the peo le. The factional
tight between Cake end Fulton, the bitter arraignment of Fulton by
fleney, embittered both sides, and the discontented flocked to the
banner of Chamberlain.
The Oregonian's peculiar attitude in the senatorial fight also lost
many votes for Cake. When the Oregonian cannot dictate policies and
practices in Oregon she sits on thn fence and sulks. She is recognized
is the mouthpiece of the Republican party in the state, or has been,
previous to this election, and when she sulked many of her readers
and she has a large following also sulked.
i These are a few of the reasons why the Republicans of Oregon
voted for Chamberlain. The chief reason, however, was that t ey
wanted him. They believed that he would truly represent them in the
United States senate. The people are entitled to their choice and
should ever be. We are a republic.
Initiative and Referendum Measures.
The proposed amendment increasing the pay of legislators was de
tented by quite a Urge majority in the state. The vote of the state was
pretty well indicated by the vote in Wallowa county on that measure
and also the ones increasing the number of supreme judges, railroad
passes for officials, woman suffrage, wide open towns and single tax, all
bciiip- defeated by large majorities in the state at large as well as in
Wallowa cninty.
Wallowa county and the state both gave large majnriiies in favor
of the following: Working jail prisoners, the recall, requiring legisla
tors lo vote for the popular choice for U. S. senator, proportional rep
resentation, the corrupt practices bill, requiring grand jury indictment,
ind November elections. The division
state at large, and Multnomah's big
ptiation saved that meritorious measure. The scheme to ) ry open the
state treasury to build armories was

received the larger vote it will become a law and the other will not, as
that is the provision in case two acts carry that conflict, as these two
