WILL KILL STATETIENT NO. I
The people can do nothing at the
election next monday more danger
ooa than to vote for the initiative bill
instructing representatives and sen
ators in the Legislative Assembly to
efect the Candidates for United
States Senator receiving the highest
namber of votes at the general elec
tion. Statement No I. as it is, is as
far as the people can go safely in that
direction. A good thing, by it's
abase, is rendered as odious as if it
were erroneous in principle. Sure as
the state attempts by law, to destroy
the power of the Legislature to elect
whom it will, United Stales Senator,
as provided by tbe Constitution of
the United States, tbey will lose the
whole principle of Statement No. 1
and tbe power which tbey now have,
of pl-icing members of tbe legislature
under moral obligations to elect to
tbe Uinted States Senate, the man of
tbe people's choice. You cannot
bring them under legal obligations
to do it. Tbe constitution of both tbe
State and tbe United States provide
that tbe Legislature shul! elect Sena
tors. An election in which the elec
tors are without tbe power to choose,
is not an election. Would you take
part in tbe election on the first, if
yon were instructed for whom you
should vote, leaving yon without
choice? Would you respect a law
which took away tbe light to choose
from yourself. The right of tbe Leg
islature to cnoose whom tbey will
elect, is asabsolut , under ttie consti
tution, as ir your own right to choose
who you shall vote f r for members of
tbe Legislature.
By signing btntenieut No. 1 Candi
dates for the Legislature and lor
United States Senator may bring
themselves under obligations, morally,
to do YOUR will, but you cannot, by
law, destroy freedom of voters in the
Legislature when electing a United
States Senator, any more than you
may lawfully take away the electors
right cf free choice next Monday.
Whenever the people pass this bill,
Statement No. 1 is doomed. For this
very reason. All the- old bosses who
are put out of a job by Statement No.
1, hope you w ill vote 320 X Yes. Lake
County voter, dout do that. Vot 327
XNo, and save the principle of State
ment No. 1, which is moderate, reas
onable, right. While tbe legislature
is asked to sign Statement No. 1, be
may refuse or sign as -suits him, and
you can do as you like, vote for him,
or against him. That ends it This
bill attempts to compel him to do
what, by signing tbe statement he
freely binds himself to do. The bill
would natuarlly supercede Statement
No. 1. Legislators would refuse to
obey tbe law, tbe Courts would J bold
it and tbe whole principle unconstitu
tional, and you would lose alt
While it is left voluntary with can
didates to sign or not, and having
signed, being free to break their
promise if they will, tbe question can
not come before tbe Courts, and the
people bold a very affective means of
netting their bill. Be wise. II la
better never to attempt to much.
Vote 327 X No, and save Statement
No 1, or 320 X Yea aod loee It.
' NOT SINCERE
UoTenor Chamberlala has hereto
fore been tbouaht a alocere man, tut,
ha diahonert himself In hla silly de
deration of non-psrtlsanshlp. ije baa
no political connections at variance
with the democratic party, and ia
known br all voters to be trying to
sneak into tbe Senate by that Specious
pretense of non-partisanship. ?e
bad believed tbe Governor an open
fighter, plainly disclosing his pur
poses. Now we see him as a candi
date willing to take office under false
pretense ;
; Mr. Chamberlain has never held no
office to which he was not nominated
by tbe democratic party. He is now
tbe nominee of that party for Sen
ator. He is loyally supported by
every voter of that party. He firmly
upholds the doctrines of that party,
and in tbe Senate, as he has in every
other station of life, would be found
standing for ail it's policies, includ
ing tbe un-american doctrine of tariff
for revenue and sgainst protection.
A vote on any question, In tbe
United States Senate, is always with
one party or tbe other. A donkey
cold accomplish as much in that body
as a man wbo would not vote with a
party. A Senator cannot vote other
wise. Mr. Chamberlain is a Demo
crat He WILL vote with that party.

A vote for Cake is safe.
THE EXAMINER'S WORK
No newspaper in the state, that we
have seen, and we bave watched many
of them, has taken up the initiative
and referendum measure as they are
to appear on the ballot and reasoned
out their points as The Examiner
has done, except the Portland, Daily
Oregon ian, wbich paper just recently.
has taken up tbe discussion of tbe
measure. The Oregonian holds exact
ly tbe same views on tbe measures as
does Tbe Examiner. The Examiner
has studied every one of the measures,
one by one, and has had legal advice
upon them, as well as sound reason
ing, and our conclusions were arrived
at after careful and painstaking study.
If any in Lake county has not given
every measure a careful study from
which he is able to draw a different
concusion, we feel that he will be
safe in voting upon them as they are
marked on tbe sample ballot published
on an inside page of The Examiner
this week.
Dr. Clarence True Wilson
Woman Suffrage
On
"The queeton is not whether the wo
men bave a right to vote, but it is
whether e have a right to compel
them to vote at tbe dictation of a very
small minority of their own number.
It is certain the vast majority of our
women do not wish tbe Fallot. Tbe
laws for tbe protecton of women are
improving steadily with tbe years and
every interest of hers is au well safe
guarded as that of any man. If you
wish to protect the rights of women,
ask yourself today, does my wife want
to vote, does my-sister, does my mo
ther claim it to be her privilege? If
they do not, what right have you to
compel them to do it by tbe ballot?
But it is said we need tbe ballot of
women to aid us in goerument. But
is it expedient? Will society be im
proved by the Krinting of the ballot
to women? iVill tbri better element of
women come to the frout as political
workers and till our offices, cr will the
worse? Which is the better element
of women? The quiet and unassum
ing queens of our homes, our mothers,
sifters, wives and Kweethearts, or will
politics be controlled by tbe club
women? This is not an untried ex
periineut. Four states have given tbe
ballot to women unconditionally, and
alter 30 years of women's voting,
politics has not arrived at the moral
standard of our own state, in Wyom
ing, Colorado, Idaho .or Utah. But
you say, "There are not as many
women as men in Wyoming." Yes,
but in Utah women are plentiful that
seven or eight of tbem club together
and keep one husband between them,
and with this numerous company they
bave not closed the saloons, or closed
tbe protbels, or prevented gambling
dens, or purified politics. Indeed,
there are no four states in our Un
ion where politics is so corrupt as in
tbe four states where women vote.
It is a sad picture where a man, 'or
the sake of office, sells bis integrity,
but it is a sadder, and a common sight,
in tke states where women vote, to
see women sell their virtue for offices.
I can give speciflo Incidents with
names, places and dates, where wo
men, desiring to be assistant . county
clerks,, etc, are sent from the candi
dates' office to tbe political boss to
there oH er her all at tbe shrine of a
man, who, but for politics, would not
be allowed to enter bar borne, in ev
ery woman's suffiage state, tbe pro
Vbrb has bad a double emphasis that
"Politics make strange companions."
If you wish to prevent such condi
tiona in Oregon, vote "No" on the
woman suffrage amendment on June
1st"

Cake Is the Man
Just now tbere appears to be a little
doubt but that it ia Senator Cake nf
Oregon. Once the campaign started
it was speedily seen that the oft
boasted personal popularity of George
tbe Governor was not so almighty
stout as it once was. Various things
that some folks have known about
our executive bave come to light and
a lot of folks are today doubtful if
George was such a whale of a man
after all.
The nearer Oregon makes it unani
mous for Cake tbe better for Oregon.
One place where party politics coants
ia in the upper bouse of Con
gress, were tbe majority party gets
what it wants and the minority sits
tight and waits. Oregon wants a lot
of things from Congress; it can get
tbem through a democratic senator.
Between the men personally the
issue is not draw; it is not a personal
campaign ; II it was Mr. Cake would
not be on tbe defensive.
It is also remembered that Cake was
one of tho Republicans wbo had tbe
nerve to stand on a Statement No. 1 (
platform when it looked as though
that meant defeat ; be stood for tbe
popular election of tbe United States
Senator whether it profited bim or
not; Chamberlain bas stood for it
because it was bis sole chance of ever
landing tbe place.
The vast difference between being
good because you hope it will pay,
and because it is right, represents the
difference between tbe stand of Mr.
Chamberlain and Mr Cake.
Not a "Japanese Spy"
Lakeview Oregon,
May 22nd, 1908.
To tbe Editor, Lake County Exam
iner: In noticed an article in the Klamath
Express a few days ago, which had
for its headline, "Japanese Spy in
Town", and it contained a brief out
line of my military career.
in answer to this article I would
like to state that I was discharged
from tbe Service of the United States
Army on April 24th and my discharge
was Honorable with character Ex
cellent. The cause of my discharge
was given as "Special Order, 00
Paragraph 13 Wac Department".
There were no further orders or
reason why I should be discharged.
The San Fraocisco Chronicle publish
ed on April 30 and May 1st, wrote
their suppositions as to tbe cause "f
my discharge intimating that the
cause was that 1 was triyng to sell the
secret. Exploives D, a high Explosive
used in tbe interior of projectile used
only by tbe U. S. Government, to
Japan.
Therefore, as tbe caues oi my dis
charge is only guess work on tbe part
of tbe papers I do not see any reason
why 1 should be branded as an out
cast and traitor in tbe eyes of tbe
Citizens of tbe United States.
I served my Country as a Soldier
during tbe trouble in tbe Philippines,
exposing my life for my country's
cause. X am as true an American as
ever lived and just because I am an
Expert in Uigb Explosives and a Un
quiet having lived 18 years in Japan,
I see no reason wby 1 should b made
to appear as a traitor to my flag. So I
demand tbe Klamath Express to re
tract their Statement.
Respectfully
