While a Legislator Aided in
Placing Upon Statute Books
Many Popular Measures.
Referring to his record as a pro
gressive, Ben Selling, progressive Re
publican nominee for United States
Senator, In a recent interview, said:
"I am proud to say that as a Re
publican I have been in the Oregon
Legislature on and off for about 1#
years. During that time It was my
pleasure and duty to aid in originating
and writing upon the statute books
of this state such progressive meas
ures as the Australian ballot law,
the initiative and referendum, recall,
the Presidential preference primary
law and many other reform measures
which have given to the people their
rights. These measures have taken
Oregon from under machine control
and placed the nominating machinery
tn the hands of the people where it
belongs. Bear in mind I have been
at this work for 16 years, laboring
consistently for everything that would
bring about the present Oregon

tem. This being true and a matter
of record, my contention is that my
self and others who worked with me,
are the true progressives In Oregon.
"The people of Oregon do not have
to guess as to my progressive work.
It Is an open book. It Is recorded on
the statute books of this state. Judge
your progressive candidates by what
they have done, by their records as
progressives, and I shall be perfectly
satisfied with the verdict expressed
by the people next November."
LOWELL FAVORS SELLING
Opponent in Primary Supports Him as
Regular Party Nominee.
In giving his unqualified indorse
ment of the candidacy of Ben Selling,
progressive Republican nominee for
United States Senator, Judge Stephen
A. Lowell, an opponent of Mr. Seiling
In the primary election, said recently:
"Senator Selling Is the regular con
stituted nominee of the party. He has
been a burden bearer in the past poli
tical contests and is entitled, under all
rules of the game, to his reward He
Is a progressive Republican, not only
today, but was such when it took
some courage to occupy advanced
ground. He is a substantial business
man, with a home and interests in the
state. Why should any honest man
who believes In fair play in politics,
aa well as In every day affairs, refuse
to support his candidacy. 1 am with
him to the end and he ought to win
by 10,000 plurality in November."
Persistent Advocate of Popular Rights
Editor Davey, of the Harney Countv
New», says of the progressive record
of Ben Selling, progressive Republican
nominee for United States Senator:
“Ben Selling was an earnest and
persistent advocate of popular rights
and privileges when the men who are
now leading the noisy band of Roosfr
velt shouters were among the most
hide-bound stand patters, some of
them going so far as openly to refuse
as members of the Legislature to vote
for the successful candidate of their
own party for United States Senator,
Just to emphasise their opposition to
tbe popular system of election."
