his own party left him. other men of all parties in over
whelming majorities held up .Andrew .Taeksdn's hands.
"Tt was so when Abraham Lincoln sought to save the
nation and end slavery: and loyal men of all pitrtics forgot
ancient party lines and gladly marched to death for the
republic and human rights.
"Tt was so in the last ten veal's, when another presi
dent attacked the country's organized greed, which was
fattening on the labor and lives of the masses; and again
the masses forgot their partisanship and in overpowering
numbers rallied around Theodore Roosevelt.
"The people were for these men because these men
were for the people.
"A political party is not a group of politicians, each
with his following, combining to "win the spoils of place
and power. Such an organization is not a party it is a
band of brigands, and its appeals in the name of party
are mere attempts to beguile and defraud the voter for its
selfish purposes. Such organizations and men are the tools
and agents of lawless interests which know no party, at
tempt to use all parties, and practice onlv the politics of
prout.
What is true in Indiana is equally true in New York,
in California, and in Oregon. It is a nation-wide struggle
of the people against mis-government for the benefit of
special interests.

Oregon is the pioneer in the movement for popular gov
ernment and must maintain its lead. Party names and
factions do not count it is the principle at stake.
The assembly was an attack upon popular government.
The slate was framed in a corporation office. The election
of an assembly candidate as governor would be a decided
reactionary move.
The election of a faithful servant of the system to con
gress will be another blow to progressive policies. It
should not be permitted to happen.

Hie coming battle is not so much between political
parties, as such, as between the rights of the people and
the powers of pillage. In this struggle the republicans
of Indiana stand for the people. Our appeal is not to par
tisans because of partisanship, but to citizens because of
citizenship.
"It is another phase of the conflict as old as tho re
public. It was so when AVashiugton fought to lift from the
people's necks the yoke of British oppression; and the
people who were patriots supported him and won.
"It was so when Jackson defied secession and broke the
power of arrogant and unwise wealth; and while men of wore thrown open nt ?: 30 o'clock int
evening. Tho lights woro not dim
mod until nCtcr 11 o'slpcfc. Tho
throngs of happy people who visited
t'uo storo from tho time of opening
until after It p. m. showed moat
plainly that this store had gained n
placo In thoir hearts that would Inst

W. W. Davis, a recent nrrlvnl from
Chicago, but formerly with nn Albany

of the land.
The windows fro tho prettiest over '

Mr. Davis will bo with this store per
manently, wo will hnvo the pleasure
of seeing many nioro displays equal
ly as beautiful. Tho Imitation car
nations were most artistically nr

very harmonious and beautiful. It
will certainly bo a pleasure as woll
as a treat for tho peoplo of Mcdford
to trade In a storo that will bo so

NO ASSEEBLY man has any faith in the people.
Mr. Bowerman himself said in a speech in the
legislature favoring a bill legalizing the assembly, that
the assembly was better able to choose candidates than
the people themselves were.
The Oregonian and other assembly organs constantly
attack the initiative and referendum as well as the direct
primary.
Their columns are filled with feigned pity of the hercu
lean task before voters who are asked -to pass on thirty
two initiative measures. The ordinary man is represented
as a fool, incapable of graspinn- sunniest details.
A legislator is supposed to pass intelligently upon five
hundred measures in forty days, yet with four months'
preparation, the ordinary man is held as too simple-minded
to vote upon thirty-two.
The voter has to pass upon a hundred or so candidates.
If he does this intelligently, has he not brains enough to
ascertain ine mems or elements or otner measures f
The boss of the convention determines who shall be
nominated and usually the same boss says what bills shall
be passed by the legislature. If his wisdom is so superior
to that of the majority of the people, why not leave it all to
him and save the farce of troubling the incompetent peo
ple at all?

THREE QUOTATIONS EXPLAIN THE PLOT.
nnHE Portland Oregonian, paper of the assembly idea,
A is making strenuous efforts to secure the support
of the anti-assembly forces for the assembly candidate
for governor. Bowerman 's election will then be hailed as
an assembly triumph, and to accomplish it Mr. Bowerman
is ready to promise almost any old thing.
Yet the true object of Bowerman's candidacy is told in
three quotations from the Oregonian, one of them before
and the other after the primary.
"Republicans of Oregon intend to repudiate State
ment One. They intend to suggest in assembly or con
vention candidates for the primary, and WILL PUT THE
KNIFE INTO EAOH AND AIL WHO DECLARE FOR
STATEMENT ONE."
"A candid review of the results of the m-imurics ins-
tifies the conclusion that the voters have not accepted nor
rejected the principle of the assembly."
"The old guard never surrenders. Tt does not die,
either. It waits until the foe has fallen asleep and GRABS
THE FRUITS OF HIS VICTORY."
That is what the old guard of pie-eating assembly pol
iticians are striving to do now lull tho peoplo to 'sleep
with cries of harmony, so they may grab tho fruits of the
anti-assembly victory at the primaries, through the elec
tion of Bowerman.
