In a speech in the senate ,rqc?;;tly
Senator .Bourne said: .
Three years ago we had a convinc
ing exhibition of the power of a presi
dent to dictate the selection of his
successor. At that time three-fourths
of the republican voters of my state
were in favor of the renomination of
Mr. Roosevelt, and, believing that
their wishes would be observed, I en
deavored to secure a delegation from
that state favorable to his nomination
fur a second elective term. But
through the tremendous power of the
chief executive and of the federal ma
chine the delegates selected by our
state convention were instructed for
Mr. Taft. After the delegates were
elected and instructed a poll was tak
en by one of the leading newspapers
in Portland, which city contains near
ly one-third of the entire population
of the stale. The result indicated that
the preference of the people of the
state was 1 1 to 1 in favor of Mr.
Roosevelt as against Mr. Taft.
Impressed by this demonstration of
the power of the president to thwart
the will of the people, I realized that
such power in the hands of any man
is a serious menace to a truly repre
sentative government. Consequently,
I tried to evolve a plan to destroy
such power, and after much thought
conceived the idea of enlarging our
direct primary law so that each voter
may directly express his choice for
president and vice-president. Accord
ingly I had a bill for such a law pre
pared and submitted to the people un
der the initiative. In order to make
the system complete, the bill also pro
vided for the direct election of dele
gates to national conventions and di
rect nomination of candidates for pres
idential electors. It provided that the
state shall pay the actual traveling
expenses of delegates to national con
ventions, not exceeding $AX) for each
delegate, thus removing the handicap
which practically permits only men of
wealth or leiure to attend national
conventions.
The initiative bill, incorporating
these provisions, was opposed by al
most every prominent newspaper in
the state any by all the machine poli
ticians, in order to deceive the peo
ple and prejudice them against the
hill, one of the papers of largest cir
culation represented that its chief pur
pose wa to compel the state to pay!
the traveling expenses of delegates ;o
national conventions. This feature-
and the idea ot needless cxpenY was
kept before the voters, and the real
Umic extension of popular govern
ment was concealed. Nevertheless,
the nuuMtre was adopted by the peo
ple, and since- its adoption it has bto:i
praised by some of those fought it
during the campaign.
Whenever this law becomes nation
wide in its application it will absolute
ly destroy the power of the fedcr il
machine: prevent the president renom
inating himself, except by demonstra
tion of good service; destroy the pos
sibility of any president naming his
successor, and relieve him of any obli
gation from any known individual o
the composite citizen, where it belongs.
