Hon. II. M. Cake at Ho od ltlver.
Hod. II. M. Cake appeared before
a Hoid Kiver audience Monday even
ing at the opera bouse in the interest
of bia candidacy for United States
senator, and bia lemurka were listen
ed to with attention by a moderate
lized audience. Mr. Cake has oooie
oat squaiely for Statement N . 1, and
bia talk on tbat question converted
gome of bia bearers who bave been in
doubt on tbe question.
Mr. Cake outline bia polioie as
follows.
Parties inuut be preserved, for only
through their med iuui can constitu
tional government be carried od.
Party fealty is necessary and should
be shown iu upholding party princi
ples, promoting good governmeut,
purity in publio office and harmony
In party elfoits; unsettled allegianoe,
discord and factional diligences
should be condemned.
Control of tbe national affaha of
this oouutry by the Kepuoiioan patty
will iu the future, as iu tbe past, in
sure general prosperity, and great
economic and oowmerc al develop
uieot. 1 urn iu must hearty uccoid
with the policies ot Piesidiut Roose
velt. Ihe Oregon primary law should be
maintaiued. be uouiiuitiou of
candidates lor olHce by tbe people
instead r.t through couseut ous tends
to speoiul iutereits, to puiily anil en
Iihuoo tbe ellioieuc; of publio service
by making Hit officials responsible tor
tbo udnnuistruliou ot tbelr offices
directly to tbe people.
I endoise Stutement No. 1 because
expeiienoe has shown the otd method
ot electiou of United States senators
to be unsatisUctory. Under cuob
method, for more than 40 years, snob
influences have atleottd tbe electiou
ot United States senators in Oregon
tbat but few huve been ohoseu until
tbe last moments ot the legislative
sessions. Tbe deals and deadlocks
(saying nntbiug ot fraud aud corrup
tion) incidei.t to tbe election of sena
tors iu Oiegon bave absorbed tbe time
and attention ot state legislatures to
the disgruoe of tbe state, detriment
ot tbe people aud tbe neglect ot need
ed legislation,
I further endorse Statement No. 1
(oi tbe reason tbat I am iu favor of
tbe electiou of United States seuatois
by direct vote of tbe people, and ta
vor au amendment to tbe constitution
of tbe United States providing fur
same. In the absence of such an
amendment Statement No. 1 accom
plishes tbe same result by obligating
the members of tbe legislature to elect
the choice of tbe people as evidenced
by tbe vote at the Juue election.
This nation is committed to tbe
protective taritt. Its abandonment
would result iu industrial disaster.
Tbe tarilf laws, bowever, must be ad
justed to meet changed commercial
uud economical couditlou of tbe
times, tireat combinations of capital
have stifled competition to such an
extent ttint tbe existing tarilf, in
many instances, levies contributions
on tbe people gtnerully lor tbe Lime lit
of a fuw manufacturing uud increases
the profits of industrial mouopoties,
without ausweriug any purpose ot
protection.
In the rerUiu i f the tariil law (tbe
demand tor wbiob is imperative) we
should seek reciprocal trade relations
with other countries to a greater ex
ten', tb ,n under tbe piesent law, tbe
tariff in such instances, while provid
ing a minimum rate for protection
and revenue, to be regulated by a
commission or otherwise, to meet
corresponding concessions from otber
countries.
The reclamation of arid lands is one
of the most important needs of Ore
gon, aud a condition upon wbiob tbe
full development of our state laigely
depends 1 favor a vigorous polioy
on tbe part of tbe Federal governmeut
in tbe prosecution of this woik aud
advocate a more urgent application of
Oregon's share ot the irrigation fund
to tbe actual development of irriga
tion projects, than bus cbaracteiized
reclamation work iu tbis state be-etoj
fore.
I favor forest reserves, bat believe
that great care thou d be used iu
their establishment, aud that tbe reg
ulationa governing their management
should be changed so as to insure a
more equitable distribution of graz
ing uud other piivilegos connected
with tbe same.
I am iu favor of the enactment and
rigid enforcement of Federal and state
uuti-tnist laws, and indorse most
heartily tbe etforts and policies of
Piesideut Koctevelt along these linos.
No effort should be spared on the
pari of onr delegation iu congress to
seour all additional appropriations
necessary to complete the improve
ments at t ho mouth if the Columbia
river, the deepening of tbe harbors of
Coos, Yaquiua aud Tillamook bays,
Bud tbe Coquille river, tbe opening of
li e Has Celilo canal, me areogmg
ot the Wilmette river, the opening

betwetu Portland and the mouth of

Mow, ou reading above mentioned

took up a handful of loose dirt and
threw at tbe automobile after it bad
passed.
X then endeavored to get Mr. tin-
bert by phone, but found out be was

by some present.
Ho told me a lady, a neighbor, bad
