1LLCAM M. COLVTCr, imti-Shitement candidate for
the republican nomination, states:
"I believe that as a representative pt those who elect
me I should carrv out their political views. "
Yet in the same statement Mr. Colvig says ho will not
vote for the people's choice for United States senator.
How can ho cany out tho views of those who elect him
if he refuses to obey their instructions?
The attention of Judge Colvig is called to chapter 2 of
tho General Laws of Oregon, session 1909, which reads:
"That we, the people of the state of Oregon, heroby in
struct our representatives and senators in our legislative
assembly, as such officers, to vote for and elect the candi
date for United States senator from this state who receives
the highest number of votes at our general elections."
This law was passed by the people by a vote of 69,(568
for to 21,162 against, demonstrating clearly what the peo
ple think on this subject, yet Judge Colvig proposes to
violate this statute if elected.
Judge Colvig warns tho people that he would not vote
for a democrat, even if the people wanted him to. It is
wonderful what a prejudice against democrats is enter
tained by republicans of recent origin, who for years held
office as democrats, as Judge Colvig did. Those who were
political associates for forty years, and who honored him
repeatedly with office, have suddenly become unworthy
of consideration.
Yet a change in political parties is not the only light
ning change Mr. Colvig has made. On August 15 he pub
lished the following letter:
"Sir My name is being mentioned quite frequently by
the local press, as a probable candidate for the state sen
ate from this county. If I could know that I am the choice
of the republican party of the county, for the place, I
might accept the nomination; but there is no way to find
that out. I fully agree with the great non-partisan, Hon.
George E. Chamberlain, that "an assembly is the best and
only sensible means of selecting candidates for, office."
(See his letter published in full in the Oregonian of 13th
inst.) I am one of those mentioned by the poet, when he
says:
t
" 'There are men so deaf to loud Ambition's call,
They'd shrink to hear the obstreperous trump of Fame.'
"I am not a candidate for anv office. Respectfully,
"WILLIAM M. COLVIG."
Yet there has been no county assembly, no way in
which the call of the rank and file could reach the shrink
ing modesty of the candidate, yet the shrinking candidate
shrinks no longer.
FLUSH THE STREETS.
NOW that Medford has an ample water supply, some
' moans should he. dnvised "whornhv tho streets of the
city will be flushed instead of swept.
Sweeping is at best unsanitary. It only partially re
moves the dirt. There is filth left on all the streets, even
after being 'swept. Every trip of the sprinkler leaves a
muddy thoroughfare. It is as costly, perhaps more costly,
than flushing, and not half as satisfactory.
It is not necessary to use fire hose, and damage by
great pressure the paving surface. Other cities have de-.
vised economical and satisfactory methods of flushing, and
Medford should do the same.

Whon it conies right down to facts, tho BurroU Orchard
