SENATOR BOURNE
IN DEFENSE OF
STATEMENT HO. 1
Washington, Feb. 13 (lulled by
the atlacka being made upon State

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.

Salem, Or., Feb. 14. 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

The race for Indorsement will be
