A FULFILLED
OVER a year nRo Juurc Honry E. McGinn nuulo a speecli at Portland
worth republishing ' today, becattso his predictions roRimllug the
character o tho assembly- wero literally fulfilled. He said:
"You all know that 1 bcliovo in tho primary law, in Statement No. 1, in
tho initiativo and referendum, in nil methods of progress in politics, and
thnt I am opposed, strongly opposed, to tho assembly and tho reversion to
old conditions. s
"Tho direct primary law oamo to us in Oregon as n result of tho most
corrupt politics any state had known in tho Union, bar nono. If there
ovor was an honest election for United States sonator, an uncontrolled
convention, or decent politics of any kind under the old system, there
would havo been no direct primary law, no Statemont No. 1 ami no initi
ativo and referendum. Theso things cniuo to us as tho protest of tho podplo
against tho rottenness of tho old plan, old politics and old loaders of tho
stato .without regard to faction. When tho poudulum swung from old
conditions it went way over to new and clean ones. 1 know this, you know,
because I was a part of it, bo it said to iny sliauiu As a young man 1 was
tNiiued in tho school of this old corrupt system, aud I trust that no young
man of tho present day may over have to go through tho sumo experience
that I went through before tho passing of tho regtmo and tho coming of tho
new. For this reason, if for no other, 1 am against tho assembly and all
that it moans. Wo all know that peoplo used to be bought on the streets
of tho city for $2.50 apiece. Wo know thnt men high in life wero engaged
in tho work.
"I remember tho scene in Woodmen's hall when Joseph Simon nnd Chns.
H- Cnroy camo to blows over tho control of a republican convention being
held there. I remember when Larry Sullivan nnd his shotgun kept tho voters
from tho polling place. I remember when Oeorgo II. Williams was not
allowed to cast his ballot, though ho remained in lino during tho, whole
afternoon. Because of these conditions we got a primary law, because no
I ono could nauio a convention that
the sclush interests ot some man or set ot men.
"You say that you are going to havo an assembly. I ask you who will
be there, who will compose it! I will tell you. Tho agents of the electric
lijjht company will be there, tho agents of tho street railways and the gas
companies and of the predatory trusts, mid combinations and of the big
railroad companies will all havo seats. The men who have franchises to
guard, the niou who fatten off tho fruits of the red-light distriot, tho men
who own saloons, thoy will all bo there. But, the wage-earner, tho small
taxpayer, the merchant and busiuoss man, the honest peoplo of tho state,
will not bo present. How in God's name could they bo? What chance
would they have to be selected?"
SHALL OREGON REMAIN PROGRESSIVE?
D
IRECT PRIMARY and Statement
ruption in Oregon politics.
No state in the Union had
senatorial elections. In djsgust the people put an end to it. As a result,
wo have honest elections now.
Are tho people ready for a chango back to the old conditions? Is tho
clock of humnn progress to havo its hands tamed back, ever so little, by
Oregon republicans?
Is Jackson county to nominate W. if. Colvig, a reactionary republican
candidate for senator,' to servo as an opening wedge for a restoration of
the old conditions, when corruption ruled tho state?
Are the republicans of the first congressional district to send bnck to
Washington thnt faithful servant of tho trusts, thnt stanch supporter of
Cannouism, Aldrichism nnd stand-pattisra, that enemy of popular rule,
thnt opponent of Statement No. 1, nssembly nominee, W. C. Ilnwley?
Oregon nnd Jackson county republicans will hnve a chance to rebuke
the reactionaries tomorrow, and there is no doubt but that when the vote?
are counted Oregon will be found in the prorressivo column along with Cali
fornia, Washington and her sistcs states.
But friends of progressive government should not divide their strength.
Believers in Statement No. 1 should not divide their support between the
two candidates thoy should unite on the strongest, lest their assembly
opponent win. Tho strongest of the two Statement candidates and the ono
by far best equipped for the offico is H. Von der Ilcllcn of Wellcn.
PROGRESS DEMANDS A CHANGE
I
F COMMISSIONER PATTERSON is in favor of denning up orchards,
why did ho cut down tho force of inspectors in the midst of the clean-ing-up
season, which he did Inst year?
If Commissioners Patterson and Owen did not try to keep from paying
Professor O'Gnrn's salary for July, why did thoy hold it up?
If Commissioner Patterson is progressive, why is it necessary to send
big delegations of taxpayers and orchardists to got down on their knees
and beg and entreat and plead for that which any servant of the people
should jump at the chance of doing? "What meat has this, our Caesar,
fed upon, that he hath grown so great?"
If the connty's money is not wasted in road building, why is it neces
sary to rebuild them? Just look at those roads they .speak for them
selves. f "
Th'e county court is authority for the statement that, as near asit
can be figured out, the Jacksonville road cost $30,000. Why arc not
county records kept in such shape that any one can tell how much any
road costs? -'
There is only one issue in the county commissionership contest prog
ress, and the material welfure and progress of the county demand a change.
Secure it by nominating a successful business, man and financier county
commissioner George L. Davis.
This is the last day for politics until after the primaries,
elections law forbids comment on election day.
Don't forget to vote tomorrow.

GOLVIG TALKS TO
SLIM AUDIENCE
.(Valley Roeord.)
William M. Colvig, an alleged re
publican, and candidate for the re
publican nomination for stato sen
ator, came to Ashland Monday af
ternoon to meet his advertisement to
speak in the plana, tho point from
whouco the socialists and salvation
army hurl their thuuderoolts at tho
strolling oitUen who may wish to in
terest himsolf. Tho weather was in
clement nnd the candidate invited
his audience into tho city hall, where
ho spent tho ovoniug entertaining
them. The nudieneo varied from 14
to 16 men. Thoro was no attempt at
enthusiasm and it is seldom that an
attorney does not havo a jury of 12
and court attendants amounting to
more, about him to speak to. Mr.
Colvig noticed tho slim audience, but
insisted that ho intended to continue
his cmupnign through tho county nnd
run the people dovyn in order to tell
them his stori. lie assured his
hearers that ho would got hid case
before tho people, as ho had tho no
cessary postage stamps and was
imvuig me two utouMimi and some
registered republican voters in Sat
urday's dpritnnry' copied off nn
would mail them his message before
Saturday.
It is to be regretted that Mr. Col
vig did not havo a better audience.
It consisted in etpial parts of repub
licans democrats nnd socialists. Tho
advertising of tho meeting was poor
ly managed. The posters announced
that it was io discuss politics, and
as all the older residents know Bill's
politics, many of them remained
nwny because they did not wish to
laugh in tha face of an old and es-
