( HAMHKRLilX'S ELECTION
Tbe election ot George Chamberlain !
at United States senator (or Oregon
should not ro laid at the door ot the
mi-id bora ot tbo legislature nor abould
they be blamed. In fact It ia to tbeir
credit that tbey have chosen tbe man
aeleoteJ for tbat ollloe by the will ot
tbo people aod wbora I bey were pledg
ed to support through tbe workings of
tbe state'a freak primary law. Laying
aside tbe question of tbe law's consti
tutionality and other defects, it was
put iu effect as a result of tbe wishes
of tbe majority and was aooepted in
good faitb although it bus resuitel i'l
disastrous failure, aud is a menace
to the progress of tbe state.
Like other states, Oregon, by tbe
provisions of tbe constitution of tbe
United States is allowed two senators
to represent its interacts ia tbe na
tional ooogress. The manner la wblob
. they shall be eleoted is povided for
aud also a provision for changing their
mode of eleotion by an amendment to
tbo constitution. It does not, bow-
aver, atloulato that Oregon baa tbe
power to make this amendment or any
other one or half dozen slates. I'ba
constitution provides that an amend
merit to the law urovidina (01 the
eleotion of United States senators can
originate In either bouse of congress,
requiring a three-fourths vote ot both
houses and th ratification ot tbe leg
lslatures of two-thirds ot tbe states, to
become a taw. Or it can originate
from tbe states and become a liw by
the ratification ol both bouses of con
gress. Thore la no questlnn that tbs
trend ot public) opinion ia toward tbe
election of United States senators by
direct vote and It would also appear
that the time may not be far distant
when thin maunei of electing tbem
may prevail.
To do this will require a more or leas
united demand on the part of tbe va
rious states and all makeshift and
compromise manures such as the di
ro.it primary law which must of neces
sity be ineffective and abortive will
undoubtedly retard rather than bast
on action tbut will lead to tbis end.
Under tbe primary law tbe voters ot
the state bad plaoed themselves ou
record as favoring as their choice
Ueorge Cbamberlaio, supposedly a
democrat, but In fact allied with oc
party.
Admitting that Mr. Cbamberlaio
may bave tbe ability to qualify bim
for tbis most Important posltiou, it
will be Impossible for bim, to any
exteut, or any otber man without a
party to secure for the state tbe legis
lation that it ia In need ot nor to
materially advance its interests
Slow to acknowledge the demands of
a member of the majority party for
bis constituents what wilt be the re
suits of the attempted accomplish
meot ot a senator who represents do
party in the United States senate?
It cuu best be summed up at ex
tretuely vagus.
In tbe meantime the great publio
needs of tbe state must go only par
tially represented and its progress be
reriously impeded until suob time as a
change can be effected tbat will put
a senator In office wbose efforts iu its
behalf will be considered and who will
iiave tbe slate's influeuoe to sup
port bim.
This Is the serious situ .ton in wblob
the state Is plaoed in regard to tbe
senatorabip. Tbe eleotion of Cham
berlaln means that Orugon will be
without Its majority representation in
tbe United States senate and tbat the
abortive law whiob brought tbis state
of aflalra about allows of no immedi
ate remedy.
The Independent, a live well priut
