I'.MW, it wdl be of interest to briefly discuss the ev« nta to transpire during the twelve months now before us. Politically, the year will lie one of more than usual interest. In Oregon, w.« will hold three elect ions the Primary, in April; the State, in June, ami the National, in November. The Primary, or nominating, election, in April, should be of greater interest to the people of Ore gon, than either of the others. It is manifest that if we do not nominate good men for office in April, we cannot elect them in June. For this reason, every voter should exercise the utmost can« in naming candidates. In no case should a man be named for office, who is not in sympathy and accord with the effort now lieing made to restore the government to the people. A strong effort is to be made by the political bosses and the old-time ring politicians, to destroy the effects of the State ment No. 1, provision of our primarv Inw. They will endeavor to secure the nomination of men for office, who do not stand pledged directly or im pliedly to this provision Let every vot«»r be care ful to vote for no man as a candidate for the legis lature, who does not publicly pledge hi«ns If to conform to the requirements of Sti’i* *nt No 1 That is the only way in whie . ' . r . i ■ Senator Eulton is in Oregon t.iis week. His vis- i n in «1 • for t ie purpose of registration. and, in- cidently to look after his senatorial fences. The S -nator's t« rm of flic«- will expire in a little more t m one year hence. He is a candidate to succeed nuns' lf Senator Eulton is an enemy of Statement No. 1 of our | rimary law, and will urge all Repub lic ins for the legislature to refuse to subscribe to it. Senator Eulton has good reason for taking this position. H-* is fearful he cannot win out before the peoi le if matched in a race with Governor C irntierlain and. expecting a Republican legislat ure to be selected, he does not want its hands tied up by Statement No. 1. and jierchance be obliuat- eu to help elect the Governor to the U. S. Senate. Senator Eulton need not worry about the matter. In the first place, the people are not going to give up the direct primary, at least not for a sjiell yet T ev would do this if they elect a legislature which will ignore Statement No. 1. Also, the senator is too intimately and closely connected with men in dicted for complicit?. in the land frauds. As land fraud investigations are to be commenced again this montn, the senator is liable to be connected, too intimately, to la* a successful candidate to suc ceed himself. There is another excellent reason why Oregon sho ild send a Democrat to succeed Senator Eulton. There are too many Republicans in the United States senate now. even for the good of the Republic in party. There are too many standimtters on t it tariff q lestion. Tiie people want t ie tariff revis'd, 'nd they are becoming well satisfied that t ie only way to have it done is to kill off a lot >f tie stand mtters of t ie Senator E ilto i clan, wki a-<‘ blocks in tn* way if re visio “When I waa m I. hmo I ii a d having few bou'- Io «par., in oler to -ee a ilio. li' l the . itv, Mr Rryg '• 1...» . and other (►•mfa •>! interest a« |*.«eilil I /ol aU-ir«! a tr.
