FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER.

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

. 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

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

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

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

. own, that carried the. primaries of
the Republican party." Aa a matter
of fact, and of ; law,' they had 'no

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. .'''.
