The purpose of this portion of the amendment, and of a Jaw which may be enacted -under the amendment, Is to prevent the noml cation of persons who are the choice of a small minority ot the voters. Such a system of voting would have made a great difference In the result ot the nomination for Senator In this btate In 106. In the primary con-t-st In that )ar there worn five can didates Mr. Hournc winning over Mr. Cake by a few oies. Aa everyone knows. It wan a Dourno and anti Bourne fight. Mr. Bourne had a cer tain definite support, but the oppo sition to him was divided among four candidates. Aa a result. Bourne re ceived more votes than any one of his opponents. He was the first choice of those who voted (or him. but he was not the second choice ot any con siderable number of voter. Those who wanted biro nomlnated.otcd for Mm: those who did not want hltn scattered their votes and waMed them. Under a plan which permitted the expression of a second choice, Mr. Cake would have received many second-choice votes from the sup porters of Lowell. Smith and Watson', while Mr. Bourne would have receiv ed very few. The vote nt the primary election atood thus: llourne 13.S77 Cake 12,252 Lowell .0&r.

Oregonlnn BRIEF MENTION Total 42.80S Mr.Bourne was nominated by ubout 30 percent of the Republicans of tho state. It was a fight with Bourne against the field, and the field votes would have been distributed among the field candidates for second choice, and would not have been given to Itourne, Cake, presumably, would have had the larger number, but In Kastern Oregon both Smith and Low oil would have been tho second cliolcu of largo numbers of the votera who inadu Bourne or Cako first choice. There was no particular objection to these candidates, or to Watson, so that they and Mr. Cake could reason ably expect to receive second choice votes from all sources. Mr. Bourne could not expect to get any consid erable number of second-choice votes, for those who did not vote for him were against him. It la quite possi ble that It second-choice votes bad been added to first choice votes.Smlth and Lowell, as well as Cake, would have bad more votes .tljan Bourne, for, where a second choice Is permit ted at all, It is made compulsory. This is necessary in order to make tho system effective. The Bourne sup porters would hare had to distribute their second-choice votes somewhere, In the Bold.
