IQiam PRINTING CO., PlBLIShERS PORTLAND OR., MAY 6, 1 902 FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER. , ' Republican votera have' a doty to perform, for' their party In this elec Son, but it is not to rote for the Jack Matthew ticket "We have heard . the wall of the distressed gentleman crying for succor in the name of Re publicanism. ' Whether Republicans . owe any duty to help them Is a mat er to he deeply considered. Tarty regularity party loyalty Ma indeed been .a legitimate plea in ' political ' campaigns. When made in good faith, and to preserve party In tegrity, it may be listened to with respect, and In the absence of some ; ronnterralllng and , paramount ' con sideration, it ought to have Influence. , - Cut the Matthews', machine Is not . entitled to make tils plea for Itself: It: does not make It in good faith for the feenefil of a united local party. It does sot intend to have a united local Republican party. It means to have only Matthews' party. . None others .- need apply. . . -, vh-.w J had the opportunity to unite the party and. It abused the opportunity to. drive out of the Republican con vention and organisation those - to mkora.it, now addresses Ita plaintive appeals for help. But to what., end? STo elect the Matthews! - ticket ' and strengthen its own machine against f the body of Republican voters It has disfranchised. It has been pleased to exclude every tnan who, voted against the Matthews' combine at the prim aries from the catagory 'or. Repub licans,' unworthy to sit In a Repub- liqan. convention or be heard in Its councils. It does not If rite, nor will it ever receive, any of these men in to party ."fellowship with its own members They were allowed not a single- representative on the county committee, not even from,, the pre cincts they carried. They were not permitted "either voice of" deliberation in naming -the ticket vThy have been ' read but Of the party; if that , which resulted can be. called a party. Therefore Republican voters thus Insulted and disfranchised owe no duty to .the Matthews machine, because a , duty to any party implies privileges In the party..';;'";-' , "V v But loyalty to party also implies a mutuality 4pf ;oMifiatloh. : ' Men who have not for yearVrecontied " any obligation of party " loyalty ",theni salves, cannot complain If it is not recognised toward them. The men on the Matthews' ticket and behind ; the Matthews' ticket have not su , ported the .-RiHrblican ticket for the last three elections, They have not merely iu exercised , individually the right of scratching their ticket The , opposition has been organised. It was , during these elections - another party. It had another name. It had principles and purposes opposed to ,, the' Republican party. And - It was ' this 'alien party, a company of free - hooters who never admitted any al . leglance to any party ; except their . own, that carried the. primaries of the Republican party." Aa a matter of fact, and of ; law,' they had 'no , right to vote as "Republicans In the , primary election. For they had ' not . voted the Republican ticket at tne preceding election and did not intend ; to vote for it at this election If they -.'..had been beaten at the primary. For nothing is more certain than, that they would have had another ticket In -: opposition to the Republican' ticket A name does not alter charac- ter. .Thlg Matthews ticket and Its sponsors are not onlythe sam Indi vidual men who have been fighting the party, but it is the Same organi sation. There is no loyalty due to it becauBe its name is " exchanged. Their, plea for regularity is pleading the baby act Nor is the plea in its behalf that Its defeat will affect na- : tlonal politics of any value whatever. The Issue is local, and It ought to be ' decided locally; But there is . no par ticular policy dear to Republicans to , be endangered by beating this ticket. Oa the contrary, such a defeat will be an admonition of vaiue to Repuu Means at Waablngton. It will advise them, that the ship subsidy bill sup ported by Mr. Mitchell is not pleas Ing to Oregon Republicans that the laborers of this county and state re sent the actio a of the Republican 4eaders in killing the anti-Chinese exclusion act That the sugar trust nayvbe able by Republican voters In Congress to save its differential on refined sugar, but It cannot expect this action to be ratified by Repub lican votes .

It ..

' - ' TEDODY IS RIGHT. - There If 1 - discussion now on about-certain instances of -cruelty in the Philippines These. have been d gajneed in and out of Congress antfjis denunciation has not been confined to Democrats' or .Democratic '' news papers. The most scathing denuncia tion was made by Mr. Sibfey, a Re- pnblicaa-;' member of Congress from Pennsylvania,; .The President, imme diately alter, tne disclosures maae before the; Senate investigating, com mittee, ordered acourt-tnartial of the offending officers." ' It may be safely assured, therefore, that the American people wilt not he divided on party lines, or divided at alV on the propo sition that; the cruelties,: If lound to exist shall cease. and the perpetra tors W properly punished. The Re publican administration, through the President is committed to this ac tion." '":,!4T:- .::' But the Issue is to be made to do service in the present campaign In Oregon. The Oregonian chooses to denounce those who venture 19 ques tion the propriety of the conduct in question. It is quite unsparing In Us condemnation. It calls Mr. Sibley "blatant sensational demagogue," for criticizing General Smith's order for the slaughter of Filipinos over 10 years, of age. By Implication, at least, it thus' Justiflea the order. , In this , it puts itself in opposition to President Roosevelt, and presumably to the National Republican party. We do not think it is fair to hold the National Republican party; re sponsible for these barbarities, before It has taken some action to sanction them, or until It shall have failed to stop them. But there Is an Oregon Republican party a;. Multnomah Re publican party, and the Oregonian is their prophet That paper hopes to make votes for the Matthews ticket, state , and county, by attributing to its opponentr-a desire to "blacken the name of the American army. Well, if it is to blacken the army to Question General Smith's order, we will have to go down on that Issue. But we go down with Teddy. FULTON'8 CANDIDACY. Reliable information comes to The Journal that the ' people of Astoria are being told .that the election lo the State Senate of Charles W. Ful ton will mean that he wltl be, elected to the United States Senate practi cally upon the first ballot They are hearing that the entire force, of the Scott-Matthews-Carey-Furniuh ceonle Is to be expended in an effort to place Mr. Fulton in the upper house. Hence,, they argue with the people Of Clatsop County that they should sup port. Mr. Fulton In order that they may haver a United States Senator from that town. .The incident is .rather significant. illustrating as it does, the manner In which Mr. Fulton has been kept In line for Furnish and the program pre pared by Matthews and Scott for th legislative ticket herein Multnomah County and elsewhere. As a matter1 of fact, there is no in tention on the part ot the Multnomah County politicians to elect Mr, Fulton to the United States Senate. No man from Astoria 'could , be successful if het went before the people here with the understanding that he was a can didate for the Senate. This is as plain a truth aa any other , of the ascertained facts of the present cam desired by the Scott et at people be cause he was able to control a follow ing throughout the state. He asked that a candidate for the United State Senate be endorsed by the Repub lican State. Convention. In order that that party might go before the, people with something tangible as proof that it oelleves In the election of Senators by popular vote. He contended that the Democratic party would ..do this, and that therefore the Republican party would be In an embarrassing position as - to its plank advocating election of Senators by direct vote. Mr. Fulton's request received no consideration at the hands of the state .convention, - managers. Strong as was his argument, it, was dlsre- garaea, ana no. one was named for the United States SenatorshipT " v What was the meaning of this? Jf as it is desired to make the Clatsop County people believe, the managers Intend to make Mr. Fulton- United States Senator, why were they not willing to declare themselves "in the state convention ? , What better means could have been secured to place Mr. Fulton in the vantage posi tlon? How could any politicians de vise a better plan for the insuring of Mr. Fulton s elevation to the high of fice to which he aspires? "The facts are these: Mr. Fulton is not the; candidate of the Republican machine. Mr. Scott is. In suppot of tftia theory is the fact that all aspirants for Estate offices from Multnomah County Were turned down in the state convention; Th slate was wiped clean from all names of persons Jiving -here,? and there must have been some reason for this. The most astute politicians ln:;Ore son look jipoiL thav aliuatlonas.poJnfc, ing towards th attempt to elect H, W. Scott to the United Statea Senate,- it is pertinent to observe that they have not the courage to go before the people with this as a direct Issue. For, -were they to do so, they would subject, their candidate to such a drubbing by the voters that would make him look like a bundle of straw after it has come from a threshing machine. : L:-v' - ' -r ' r .; 1 V-. The Oregonian does not . think it would he appropriate for' the i I90fi Tair to be opened by a Democratic Governor. Why not T It ts not a Re publican fair, much less a Matthews or Furnish fair. Indeed, it would be peculiarly appropriate tor Governor Chamberlain to , preside on ; that auspious occaslon,"for the reaeon that the fair Is supported by Republicans and Democrats without - regard to partyT3ust aa MrChaa6erIain"is. What narrow UUle purblind party that Matthews party, Is shown by such m suggestion. ' Now. come to think of it. wouldn't It be full of the grace and ".poetry, of events lor' the centennial celebration of - the crown Ing glory of a Democratic President to be opened by the band of a JefferJ Ionian Democrat? - Now wouldn't it? Of course the fair Is to be non-partisan, but if Jarty pride is to have any place in it, surely a Democrat may be pardoned for exhibiting it la ny events the fair can get along quite sweetly without Mr Jack Mat thews" Mr. Furnish. Mr. Fulton declares with -apparent sincerity that the Republican party does not favor the trusts. In that he does not agree with the trusts them-. selves. These capitalists don't often make any mistake as to - who . are their friends. "When the trusts sup port the Republican patty., ypu may he sure that the Republican party supports the trusts. , And the two of them seem to flourish together, The Republican party is in power in every branch, . ot .the government The trusts are also In power. Every day witnesses some new and startling de velopment of , their poewr.- If the Republican party opposes the trusts, the latter do not seem to have been made aware of of the opposition! . If Mr. Fulton means that the Repub lican voters do not favor the trusts. then we agree with him. They are their victims, as well as Democrats. There's a lot of nonsense In this campaign. Everybody knows that the real question is whether Jack Matthews is to run the Republican party, and therefore run Multnomah County. But he Is trying to bolster his cause by pretending that the National . Republican party . and poli cies depend on his success. As a matter of fact Jack Matthews has about as much relation with the Na tional Republican policies as a hog has with the harmony of heaven. Judge Williams Is too good an old man to be the instrument of Jack Matthews' ambition. Simple, minded is A child, he is himself Imposed on by the practical politicians who are unworthy to unlatch his shoes. The people, honoring him indeed, will nevertheless relieve him from the disgrace of being In his old age, the tool of people who use him and de spise his simplicity. The Oregonian advises a perusal of Mr. Fulton's ; comprehensive speech. We Join In" that advice, es pecially that- part where Mr. Fulton corrects the typographical error in the Republican platform, bo as to make it read in favor of "fat" salar ies as instead of "flat" salaries as the types erroneously reported. Mr. Furnish would promptly veto any act of the legislature for the in dependence of the Philippines. 'But would be veto an act "cutting off the fees, say of the Secretary of State? The Astoria New, thinks the dis posal of the Philippines is the prin cipal question of the campaign down there. We had supposed it was the disposal of Charley Fulton. The Matthews people fought tho regular Republican ticket for 'six years. They had a right to do so. And so have we. We hope to better their teaching. Mr. Scott declines, the -United States Senatorshlp. That is kind of him, and vastly relieves the situation for the "geographical impossibility." Dr. Harry Lane, in respect of the Qualifications for an able efficient Senator, Is Just the opposite of Henry McGinn. Could more be satdt; It. Is funny to hear Charley Fulten talking- about rescuing the country from free Bilver. Why it. was all he could do to rescue himself. -' " c.- It Is one of the paradoxes of the campaign tfiat a free silver Repub lican ahould be praising a Democrat for standing up for gold. .'''. CAREY AND MATHEWS Were , Compelled by Scott to Accept McGinn.-. Whila to all app-sarances the 'greatest friendliness exist between Henry E. Mc Ginn, candidate for Stats Senator,' and Chairman Jack Matthews of the Repub lican State Central Committee and Chav H. Carey, chairman of the Republican County and City Central Committee, the two chairman, v matter of fact sus tain an armed neutrality toward the vin. dlt-tlvs senatorial candidate, s Neither Matthews nor Carey have forgotten the scorching roast, administered to them by McGinn during the besslon of the League of Republican' club, held In ; Portland, February .
