With this issue the Graphic
starts another volume, with the
jo b hook full and the editor cele­
brating the event underneath
the paw paw trees at Blooming-
dale, Indiana. The year just
passed has been a prosperous
one, every effort being put forth
to make the Graphic one of the
best local papers in the state.
The Daily Capital-Journal has
changed hands, Colonel E. Hofer,
sole editor and proprietor, hav­
ing disposed of bis interest to L.

Hofer intends to continue in the
publishing business, but will en­
ter a larger field. Mr. Tabor
will have complete management
o f th£ paper. The plant will be
moved into new quarters on
State street, tw o additional lino­
type machines and aGoss-Comet
press installed, and the paper
will be enlarged and improved.
The attempt to murder Ex-
President Roosevelt in Milwau­
kee Monday evening was a most
dastardly effort on the part o f
the assassin, John Schrank, and
would have proven fatal had not
the force o f the bullet been
checked by going through a bun­
dle of paper and a leather spec­
tacle case. Like a snake in the
grass the w ild-eyed crank sneaked
through the crowd, and would
have taken the life o f a very pop­
ular presidential candidate with­
out a moment’s warning. It
proves that assassins like those
who murdered Lincoln, Garfield,
and McKinley still mingle with
the American people and are lia­
ble to commit murderous assault
on public men at any moment,
unless a strong body-guard is
maintained. The whole nation
sympathizes with Mr. Roosevelt
<nH hope tor his speedy recovery.
Pendleton, Or., Oet. 12. (Special.)
“ I suppose that the people o f
Oregon should not be surprised
at any political tumbling in
which Jonathan Bourne may en-.
gage, but it is surprising that
the man can secure any follow­
ing in the light o f his uniform
repudiation o f every tenet o f fair
play in party usage, and the
utter selfishness which character­
izes his acts,” declared Stephen
A. Lowell in discussing the re­
entrance into the Senatorial race
against the wish o f the people as
expressed at the primaries.
“ I have read his pronuncia-
mento, in which he excuses his
p r e s e n t unjustifiable entrance
upon the Senatorial arena by an
appeal to a petition o f some sort
asking him to become a candi­
date. Assuredly he must regard
the voters o f Oregon as either
fools or infants, it he thinks that
they are not familiar with peti­
tions, and the ease by which
organized effort can secure signa­
tures thereto for anybody or
anything. That might work as
a poker bluff, but it is too ancient
for effective use in politics. The
chances are that half the men
who signed the paper would just
as readily have signed a petition
to hang Jonathan as to send him
back to the senate. They wanted
to be rid o f importunate circula­
tors as quickly as possible, and
affixed their signatures for that
purpose.
BOURNS CALLED “ ADVENTUEER.”
“ That is a flimsy excuse indeed
for deliberate violation o f the
spirit of the direct primary law
by a man whom self laudation
has led many to regard as the in­
carnation of the law itself.
Those o f us, however, who made
the real fight for that law have
never had much faith in the sin­
cerity of Bourne’s espousal o f
the cause, and his present atti­
tude demonstrates that such lack
o f faith has been well grounded.
If he can make it a vehicle for his
own advancement or glorifica­
tion he will observe it, otherwise
it is not applicable to him.
“ The truth is, Jonathan is a
political adventurer by
ment and habit. At
primaries he was a
candidate, together with Selling,
Morton and Lowell. When de­
feated he telegraphed Mr. Selling
congratulations and pledged his
support. Later he desired the
Roosevelt Progressive nomina­
tion, and losing there, he presents
himself as a voluntary candidate
under the childish guise o f re­
sponse to a petition. By all the
rules o f the code o f political
honor he should support Selling.
The American people believe in
fair play, and I apprehend that
the electors o f Oregon will show
Mr. Bourne in November that
they are Americans.
NO EVIDENCE OF CORRUPTION.
“ He presents another excuse
which will not bear analysis,
when he charges Mr. Selling with
violation o f the corrupt prac­
tices act. If on that score Sell­
ing is culpable, Bourne is equally
so. The limitation of expendi­
ture under that act seems to be
15 per cent o f'th e first year’s
salary, which in the case o f a
candidate for a Federal Senator-
ship would be $1175, the Sena­
torial annual salary being $7,-
500. Mr. Morton and I kept
within that limit. Both Bourne
and Selling exceeded it, because
they permitted their friends to
expend money in their interest.
I have not the data at hand, but
if my recollection serves me
right, the affidavits filed in the
office o f the Secretary o f State
show expenditures in furtherance
o f the Bourne candidacy ap­
proaching $4000, a n d if we
could get at the government as­
sistance which he received in the
printing and free circulation o f
the franked literature with which
he flooded the state, I am inclined
to the belief that the Bourne ex­
t h u s exceed
M orton and
Lowell combined.
“ There is no evidence, however,
that either o f these gentlemen
used money corruptly. The fact
is that the corrupt practices
is so loosely drawn that it is
open to numerous constructions
and is a rich man’s law. It
clearly permits the organisation
o f committees and the contribu­
tion of funds by friends o f candi­
dates. In my judgment the law
needs amendment, b u t
Bourne is the last
should criticize Selling,
an old adage regarding
and kettle which he might
erly recall.

.. “ I am supporting Mr. Selling
because I believe that he
fairly nominated, and because,
in my judgment, he will make an
able and efficient senator. He
ought not to suffer because the
corrupt practices act, said to be

Bourne’s sponsor, is so loosely
drawn as to be unintelligible
upon the question o f expendi­

believes in the direct primary
principle and who stands fo r a

Selling as the regular party
nominee. He will make a better
senator than Bourne has made,
