Perl UMDIETAKIB Lady AmIiubI WU 1. BAKTLNTT M. 47 M 1J lanlM ltofwr CtorWMr Up RECEIVER ASKED R MX ISLAND ATTACKING THE I I ilT EPUBLTCANS of Oregon intend to repudiate Statement One. They intend to suggest in assembly or convention, candidates for the primary, and will put tlio knife into each and all who declare for Statement One." This was the proclamation issued by the Portland Ore gonian four years ago, when an attempt was made, through the assembly, to restore the convention and destroy the Oregon system.' As the Oregonian announced, it was "war to the kntle and kmte to the hut ' against popular govern ment. Oregon was loudly and pei-sistently knocked as the "fool of the family" of states for having thrown off con trol by political bosses by the Oregonian. It was described as a freak state, because the rank and file had a say in the naming of candidates and the making of laws. Repeated rebuffs and consecutive defeats have altered the method of attack, but not the intent of the attackers. The same forces that four years since openly sought the undoing of popular government, still seek it. The elan destine attack has replaced the open attack the stab in the back, the frontal swagger. This opposition to the direct primary, this wish to "modify it," as Dr. "Withyeoinbe puts it, comes from the chosen few the "Lord's annointed" who believe they should be permitted to select the public officers and make the laws for the state of Oregon. For veal's, under the leadership of the Portland Oregonian and its corporation partners, they had been permitted to do this. Hut the Oregon system, with its direct primary and its initiative and referendum, Out out their prerogatives, took away the scepter and overturned the thrones. Captained by the Oregonian, these self-appointed guardians of the people and self-annointed rulers of the coininoinvcnlth, four years ago, named a complete shite of officials in their "assembly." Among the oratoif? who spoke in the assembly and for the assembly was James Withycombe. Among the candidates seeking assembly nomination was James "Withyeoinbe. The patriarchs of the assembly only awsiit return to power to sink the "knife to the hilt" in the direct primary and the Oregon system. "Financed by big business, their ticket led on the one hand by the pious partner of the Wcvcrhaeusers and the Southern Pacific, whose record as a reactionary is without a progressive blemish, and on the other hand by an assembly favorite who openly expresses a desire to doctor the primary as he formerly doctored horses, with the painted Jezebel of journalism shrilly shrieking the war cry, with assembly managers and as sembly orators, success at the polls means nothing more nor less than a restoration of the assemblv and a return of the spoilsmen to power. The primary was a much-needed and long-deferred reform. No one claims that the best men will always be selected. But the judgment of all the people is tit least equal to the judgment of a few bosses and heelers. The opposition to it is sordid and selfish, the sordidness of boodle and graft, the selfishness of favoritism and personal vanity. But the attack upon the primary is not confined to the control of the republican candidates. It includes also a hnensure upon the ballot to ered by David m. Dunn, drawn by Attorney . D. Kenton of the Southern Pacific, both of whom were prominent in the assembly, numbered on the ballot as 354 and Iloij. This is using the initiative to kill the direct primary and restore the political machine. The direct primary needs neither doctors nor horse doctors. It has emancipated the people and they intend to stay emancipated. SHAMED INTO SILENCE? IN the regular biennial pamphlet issued by the secretary of state and containing statements and armuuents of parties and candidates, under the caption, "J)r. James Withycombe, Candidate of the Republican Party for Gov ernor," appeal's the customary puff of the office-seeker issued by the party state central committee. The statement is most remarkable for its unusual omissions. For instance, it goes into minute detail as to the birthplace of every member of the family, including the parents of the candidate's wife, save that of the guber natorial candidate, upon which subject it is so ominously silent, as to recall Scott's "Lives there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said: This is my own, my native land." Is it possible Dr. Withycombe is ashamed of being born a Britisher? Is he ashamed of having lived in Oregon six teen years before becoming naturalized? II' not, why the silence in his biography? In the matter of the occupation of the candidate, the statement is as barren of detail as it is evasive on tins sub ject of birth. Since when lias the horny-handed tiller of the soil beon ashamed of his occupation? While the doctor is a duly authenticated and licensed "vet" and was state veterinary nearly ten years, the silence on the subject of his qualifications along this line reminds one of the Irish horse doctor avIio was being quizzed by the graduate of a veterinary college, and being asked what school he was a graduate o the Irishman read ily replied: "The same school as you, sor Ayer's Almanac."

Iu Denniark proportional it-prcseti- tation has been iu u-e more than fifty years. The law- of that coun try it re so good that the Danes hae not had an "unemployed" problem for ninny jears; Hl per cent of tbe funner.s own their farms and only 11 per cent nro renters. The Danes ex ported mor, than .ftll.OiH),IIOO woith of butter, bacon and eggs in ltlOS, Denmark has only about one-sixth us much land us Oregon, ami her sum mers arc so short tltat tne cm m craving season is oul lourtcen ueeus. For mre information mi Denuinrh see the Valley M-'anii of March and Ajtril, 1!1, mid the Youth's Com panion of September -I, l'.H I. The condition of Denmark is proof that proportional rcprc-cutntiou gets belter legislators than the American plan of plurality elections; that such legislators make better laws, nnd thereby more general prosperity for all the people. The wealth of Den mark is probably greater nor capita Hum that of any other country iu the world, and it is very evenly distrib uted. The very .poor and the very rich arc few and Tar between. This amendiiieuVis bitterly oppos ed by the Daily Oregonian mid other opponents of the people's power in the government jQrcgpnyqnd espe cially by the XWi-TfirMiiiii league of I'orllaud, which is advertising ery extensively against its approval. All its opponents know ns well as we tin that adoption of Ibis nmeiidmenl mid abolition of the state senate will give the voters aluuist.a.s direct . power over-the IcgW-laturo ns the initiative and referendum gave the people over law making outside of thcjlcgislnturc.
