TI1E purity of election law limits campaign expenses
in Oregon notwithstanding which .Hen Selling's
barrel is on tap, violating the spirit, if not the letter, of
the law.
Tho charge has frequently been made that Jonathan
Bourne secured his seat in tlio senate by his liberal cam
paign expenditures. However that might have been in
the'nast, it is certainly not true this year. Yon will see
Jonathan .Bourne's picture in no uewspaper as you see the
linaments of the noble seller of pants, unless it is run
gratis you will see none of those fulsome articles of self
praise paid for at so much per line, as you see of the
great Selling, unless the publisher prints it for principle,
instead of for.coin. for Senator Bourne is setting the good
example of letting the people do their own choosing and
living up to the law.
No man has been more abused or misrepresented dur
ing the past six years in Oregon than Jonathan Bourne,
lie has been belittled, scoffed at, ridiculed, his every act
distorted and discolored. He has never received credit in
the metropolitan press for having accomplished a thing.
The reason was because he was the foremost defender of
the Oregon system and thereby reaped the wrath of the
ring politicians and their newspaper organs.
Senator Bourne has announced that he will not come
back to Oregon to make the campaign, but remain at the
post of duty, that he will spend no money and make no
appeals in the press or at the hustings, and that his
sole effort will bo a statement to the voters in the state
publicity pamphlet, consisting of four pages at $100 a
page. In a letter to a newspaper the senator describes
how he will present his claim to the state. He says in
part:
"1 insist that the people of Oregon are now qu trial,
not 1; that I have kept every pledgo I made in my first
campaign: that I have taken a leading part in the fight for
the retention in Oregon ot the 'Oregon, system and tor the
extension of these laws in other states; that instead of
going back to my state as soon as congress adjourns I have
remained at the national capital working at my official
duties in the interest of the nation and my state; that I
have secured the best connnitteo assignments ever hold
by an Oregon senater: that in conjunction with other
members of the delegation I have secured for Oregon the
largest appropriations she has ever had, and this without
sacrificing any of the principles upon which I was elected;
that I originated the presidential primary idea, and se
cured its adoption in Oregon, since which time it has been
copied in several states and is now the chief issue in the
national campaign. 1 believe that inside of ten years
every state will adopt this principle and thereby destroy
the possibility of any president renominating himself or
selecting his successor through patronage.
"By reason of the work thus outlined, I have more
than repaid my obligation to the people of Oregon, and
they now owe me more than I owe them; In view of my
record and my positioij in the fight for popular govern
ment my defeat for renomination would be heralded
through the country as a victory for the opponents of
popular government. I therefore insist that the people
of Oregon, rather than myself, are now on trial, and it is
up to tnem to demonstrate by their votes whether they
are intelligent enough to recognize and appreciative

J. A. WESTERLUND.
A FAITHFUL PUBLIC SERVANT.
A SHORT time ago some old lint; democrats attempted
to read Governor AVest out of the democratic party,
because he appointed Ben AV Olcott, a republican, to tile
office of secretarv of state.
In making the appointment Governor West stated that'
lie was actuated by the principle that good business was
- 1 i r 1 A 1 I 1 j - -
guuu polities. .iur. uicoic was not a politician, lie was,
an oxpert public accountant, with a banker's training in
addition. '
Olcott s administration of. the office has been marked
by attention to detail, by economy,. by courtesy and In
efficiency. He has straightened out the demoralization
prevailing through the illness of his predecessor, put the
office in order and proved a, veritable watch-dog of state
funds.
The secretary of state disburses $2,500,000 of tho tax
payers' money annually. Mr. Olcott has proved himself
a trustworthy guardian, and if the people appreciate good
service in a public official, rather than politics, will be
renominated and elected.
