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."
