THE C( MI.\G YEA
I
N THIS, the first numb« r of theMms to vist
its readers, in this new year. 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 . ' .

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
