The people of Oregon have the un qualified promise oi lien Selling, Re publican direct prlmai y nominee tpr United States Senator, that, if elect ed, he will labor to secure for Oregon its just share of the reclamation fund. In the thorough tour Mr. Selling has made of the state in the last six weeks, he has seen the extent to which the settlement and develop ment of many sections have been ser iously retarded as a consequence of the diversion to other states of funds properly belonging to Oregou. Dis cussing this subject upon his return from Eastern Oregon, Mr. Selling said: “ Although the people of Eastern Oregon have made remarkable strides In the development of that section in receut years, both the settlement and development work have been serious ly retarded through the loss to the state of its just share of the reclama tion service fund. The disbursement of this fund has not been made in ac cordance with the plan contemplated at the time it was established. Moneys received from the sales of public lands In Oregon have tfben diverted to othar states, thereby depriving this state of funds badly needed and to which the state was entitled for irrigation pro jects. The result has been that sev eral projects have not been completed. For the same reason, urgent appeals by Oregon citizens for the initiation of other projects have been turned down. “Aside from the injustice resulting to the state from the misappropriation of these funds, the loss to the state and the serious handicap imposed against its development are only em phasized after visiting that portion of the state east of the mountains and observing what has been accomplish ed with the limited number of projects in operation. With the money receiv ed from the reclamation fund, arid land that produced only sage brush, has been converted into productive fields and orchards. The worth of ir rigation has been demonstrated and the people of Oregon are justified in demanding that the handicap under which they are laboring be removed and the state given its propeevshare of tl.is fund, which was established by the government primarily to aid in the settlement of arid lands. “ Blessed with bounteous crops of all kinds and a remunerative market for their products, the people of east ern Oregon are a prosperous and con tented lot. The grain crop in virtu ally every section has been a bumper one, the yield exceeding the record making crop of 1907. The farmer, merchant and laborer are uniformly optimistic. They have every reason to be.” PRIMARY LAW REPUDIATED People S h o u ld In s is t T h a t C an did ates A bid e by R esults. Does the direct primary law mean anything to Oregon voters?

In this campaign the voter should not allow himself to be confused by the literary contributions of Senator Bourne's publicity department. There is only one issue involved in the sena torial contest. It is plain and unmis takable. Senator Bourne, in becoming an independent candidate, has repud iated the direct primaVy law and asks the voters of the state to indorse his course. Ben Selling, the direct pri mary nominee, stands for the strict observance of that law which he as sisted to give to the people. Shall the direct primary law be sun tained in the election next month? A vote for Bourne, bolting independent candidate, is a vote to repudiate that law. A vote for Selling, the direct primary nominee, is a vote to preserve that law.

One of the main reasons why Roosevelt sentiment is so pronounced in the Northwest, and particularly in Oregon, is because the people o f this section realize that Colonel Roosevelt was the man who made possible the building of the Panama canal, and all that htis means to the Pacific Slope states. It was due to the in domitable perseverance of Mr. Roose velt that the United States acquired the Canal Zone, and it was likewise due to his energy and forceful lead ership that the early progress upon the big ditch was of such a nature that the following administration was enabled to make extremely raplu headway. If this were not alone sufficient to assure Roosevelt the support of the Northwest, which will benefit in many ways by the completion of the canal, the words of the Progressive Party platform promise even more for the West. “ We demand that the canal shall be so operated as to break the transportation monopoly- now held and misused by the trans continental railroads,” declares this document— and the victory of Mr. Roosevelt at the polls means that this will be carried out. He Forced C an al T h ro u g h . In forcing the construction by the United States of the Panama canal, and In making United States control possible at the Isthmus, Mr. Roose velt built far better than he knew. He was planning for the future when he took a hand in this work, plan ning for the future of the Pacific Slope and the Northwest. Now, many years later, he finds that these plans o f his are in danger of being stulti fied by the laxity of the present Taft regime in Washington, and he also finds the people looking to him as their champion to step back into power and see that original ideas are carried out. Just as surely as the Northwestern states are preparing for the inrush of business and settlers that will fol low the opening of the Panama Canal, it will be found that their people are also planning to make the canal of service to them by placing In office, as national executive the man and the party that will develop to the fullest the dreams and hopes of Atlantic to-Pacific trade. Oregon people in particular realize that the canal will not be of benefit to them unless canal affairs are administered as originally planned, and they be lieve that the safest way to guarantee such administration is to elect Theo dore Roosevelt as president, and to place in office as his aides candidates upon the Progressive Party ticket all down the line.

R. I.. I’ oi.K * CO., SEATTLV DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROGRESSIVES The direct primary law means some thing to Paul Flagstone, prominent progressive Republican o f Idaho. In the recent primary election in that state, Mr. Flagstone was defeated for the Republican nomination for gover nor by a plurality of less than 100. Immediately following the primary, he was urged by Roosevelt, personally and the Bull Moose leaders of Idaho to renounce his Republicanism and become the candidate of the Progres sive party for the same office in the general election. The reply of Mr. Clagstone to their appeals is respect fully commended to the consideration of Senator Bourne and his friends. It follows: “ Two conditions seem to form abso lutely impassable obstacles to my ac ceding to Roosevelt’s request that I run for governor and this is not only my own judgment but that of my most trusted friends. “ One is the fact that I continued a candidate in the Republican primaries to the end and cannot with any d eg rtj of justice again become a candidate before the people in this campaign. Not only would I be condemned by the great majority of right thinking men, but I should be uutrue to myself as well.” A. i. SHERWOOD P rM . op OOQUlbliB, ORbOor*.

Senator Bourne was defeated fairly and squarely in the same election. Are the voters going to sustain the direct primary by supporting Selling, the direct primary nominee, or will they give their support to Bourne and re pudiate that law? Oregon voters will not be parties to any such prostitution of this fundamental law of the Oregon system. They should accept the result of the primary nominating election and vote for Selling, who actively participated in preparing and enacting all legislation which has secured to Oregon its present system of popular government. a Op ned for Busines March. 1909 $ jS CORRESPONDEN TS: Ladd & Tilton Bank, Portland National Park, New York V W T w W W W W v f W « First National Bank, San Francisco First Trust & Savings, Coos Bay T S ’e i T w W “ W W W W W W ” W W W W STEAMER BREAKWATER I A L W A Y S ON TIM E F ro m P o rtla n d 9 A .

Ben Selling received the Republican nomination in the direct primary elec tion by a plurality of 6500 over Sen ator Bourne. Mr. Selling made the race on his record as a progressive. He submitted his record as a pioneer and consistent advocate and support er of progressive legislation in this state. The people approved that rec ord and nominated him. In the pri maries, Mr. Selling carried 27 of the 34 counties, as against four for Bourne and three for Judge Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton, who is active ly supporting the Republican nominee. Mr. Selling is today standing on the same record and platform that won for him the nomination. He is entitled to the vote of every elector who be lieves in popular government as it is typified in Oregon’s progressive laws. of P r im a r y In vo lve d . Subscribe for T h e Herald.

The inconsistency of Bourne is ex emplified in his independent candidacy for the senatorship.

But when the other fellow wins out under the operation of the same law, Bourne is the first to re pudiate the system and to urge its repudiation by the electorate.

Two years ago he openly urged Republicans to sup port the Democratic nominee for gov ernor as against the Republican candi date who was regularly nominated under the direct primary.
