GEO. J. CURRIN
Mr. Editor of The Gazette-Times:
Permit me to correct an error ap
pearing in your issue of two weeks
ago. In a clipping from the Browns
ville Times, was said among other
things that the socialists had started
a move to repeal the initiative and
referendum. Will someone be so
kind as to show in what way there
can be any truth in this statement?
The article says the trend is to make
a one man's government. The
fourth plank in the national social
ist platform declares for the Initia
tive and referendum. Don't get
scared about the socialists trying to
tear down that valuable measure;
the one through which their untir
ing agitation is greatly responsible
for Oregon to be able to boast of the
eradication of the old time "one
man's government."
While many republicans and dem
ocrats are loud in their denunciation
of the initiative and referendum, it
is Impossible to find a socialist who
is hostile toward it. While the in
itiative and referendum is abused to
some extent, we cannot think of el
iminating it. The increasing length
of the ballot seems to be the only
objectional feature, and the social
ists have a remedy for that. The
DroDortional representation measure
which you will get a chance to vote
on this fall, and which also the so
cialists declare for in their national
platform, is the only means by which
the ballot may be shortened.
Through the workings of this law
because of the fact that all parties
will be represented in the legislature
according to the strength of their
nartv. manv measures which other
wise would be initiated and referred
to the people, will be fought out in
the legislature. It is possible now
for a party representing one third
of the voting strength of the state to
elect all of its representatives, be
cause the other two thirds are dlvid
ed between four or five other parties
Conseauently laws are often fram
ed in the legislature that conflict
with the sentiments of the majority
of the people and a measure is init
iated to kill it; whereas if the legis
lature had been thoroughly repre
sentative: or in other worus n every
nartv had been reoresentedd accord
iner to its strencth. the sentiment of
the legislature could be more accur
ately relied upon as being the dom
inant sentiment of all the voters, and
many measures which would other
wise be referred to the people, would
be killed In its embryo state. This
DroDortional representation measure
allows any voter to vote for any leg
islative candidate in the state ana
the Bixty receiving the highest num
ber of votes are thereby elected. It
will give the weaker parties a chance
to concentrate their strength on few
er candidates, thereby insuring their
election. Those who believe in a
"sauare deal" should support this
measure.

Salem, Oregon, April 15, 1914.
To the Republican Voters of Oregon:
Ladles and Gentlemen: I wish
to state that I am a candidate for the
Republican nomination to the office
of Justice of the Supreme Court of
the State of Oregon. I began the
practice of law at Pendleton, Oregon,
in 1881. Having served as District
Attorney two terms, and as Circuit
Judge in the Sixth Judicial District,
comprised of Umatilla and Morrow
Counties, and having been elected in
1910 to the position I now hold as
a member of the Supreme Court, I
feel that my record is an "open
book." I appreciate the favors
shown me by the people of this state
and hope that I have in no way fail
ed in the exception of the trust com
mitted to my care, and that I may
have the continued confidence of the
electors of the state, and especially
of those of my home district I re
spectfully ask your support for the nomination for a second term at the
Republican Primary Election, May 15, 1914. I have been a Republican all
my life and believe that, if nominated, I shall be re-elected, I should be
glad to do the work.
I firmly believe In the Direct Primary law, and in the right or tne
people to inact their own laws, in the interest of the morals, education
and welfare of the citizens of the state, and for the uplift of humanity, ami
that when such laws are adopted they should be strictly enforced. This
constitutional privilege of the electors of Oregon should be sacredly gaurd-
ed by the Courts. I am
Very respectfully,
Yours for Good Government,

Present Incumbent.
