SENATOR BOURNE IN DEFENSE OF STATEMENT HO. 1 Washington, Feb. 13 (lulled by the atlacka being made upon State ment No. 1 and the primary law. Sen ator llourno today prepared and Is sending to every voter in Oregon a 1'iOO-word circular letter bitterly de nouncing the traducers of tho law. In his letter ho says. "Daily It Is becoming apparent that there Is a disposition on tho part of certain Individuals to overthrow the primary law and Statement No. 1. Those who are lending themselves to this conspiracy are not very num erous, lint are noisy, und public at tention should therefore be called to the Issue their noise involves. lie attacks the machine politicians and ridicules the Idea that, the pri I nwy law Is destroying party organiz ation. Mr. ltoume quotes Lincoln, Roose velt and Washington, saying that tin y (all supported the principles under I lying the primary law. lie admits 'that the law and Statement No. 1 'are not perfect, but continues: ' "Hut they have proven as reason ably effective as their hiiiiiiicrlnif en Ivlronments will permit, and have glv jen life nnd potency in Oregon at least, to the public demand for the ellinln ; ut ion or the boss and his machine, i from party control and have provided for the exclusion of United Slates I senntorshlps from the auction block at. Salem." Mr. Ilourne says that the men who I foisted the primary law onto the po litical system in ureison are in i -very highest sense of the term Repub licans by nature." His circular con cludes by urging his friends and con stituents to vote strictly according to Statement No. 1, declurlng that only by so doing can they perpetuuto Re publican purty principles. MRS.

Indications nre that opponents of Statement No. 1 will have clear sailing at the prima ries to be held In Marion county three weeks hence, and that they will also have undisputed control of a conven tion to be held a week later. Advo cates of Statement No. 1 express an Intention not to participate In the convention or preliminary primaries. That Is the natural altitude of friends of Statement No. 1. for they take the view that no convention la necessary or proper for tho purpose of nominat ing or Indorsing legislative candi dates. It Is nlso certain, according t A 1 o n 7, o (iesncr, tho spokesman for the Statement No. 1 people, that there will also be presented In the direct primary election a list of five legisla tive candidates who will sign State ment No. 1. and the Issue will thus he clearly drawn and fought out.
