Their anxiety Is not based Upon the personal desire of any particular can didate for his success In the race, but. will the voice of the people be respect ed, is the main and most important is sue at stake. At least nine-tenths of the voters of Oregon believe that our Senators should be elected by the peo ple at large. . " : As the people chose their candidate at our last election; It now rests with our representatives to ratify their chojce and establish a precedent that will forever virtually place the elec tion of United States Senator In this state In tire hands of the people. Will they do so? Or will they set at naught the voice of the' people, the very groundwork upon which . pur republi can form of government rests, and re tain the old plan which leads to a need less waste of time and often to dis graceful holdups? Mr. Geer was willing to come before the people and abide their decision. Other candidates had- the same oppor tunity, but failed to avail themselves of the privilege, thinking perhaps It was more expedient for them to rely upon the old plan of political, trickery and wire-pulling. Now is the time to teach them a lesson which will In the future force aspiring candidates to come out and, face the battle of bal.lots waged by. the Intelligent voters of this great commonweal in. . our laws mane it a. felony for any one to tamper with the ballot box and change the. result of an election- contrary to the vote Of the people. If our representatives set aside the vote of the people on this most im portant question of .choosing a United States Senator,, should they not be held equally guilty as the one who stealth ily changes the result? -Our represent atives should :not forget that they .are the servants of the people and notl dic tators altogether.r ' In conclusion, gentlemen, please re member this is not merely a question of who shall be United States Senator, but the more important "question "is at stake shall the rights of the people be vindicated?

If this Legislature wants its acts to become jaws,! It should keep in har mony with, the people. . The present session of" the Legisla ture .has no cause for a Senatorial con test. . For the last Legislature passed the Mays law, ' which gave the people the right to fyoe direct for United States Senator."- leaving the Leg! si autre to ratify their. cholce. In accord With the provisions of this law, at the last June election. 28,000 votes wre cast for United 'States Senator, and . there Is no mistake about the result. Mr. Geer received about " 12j0d0 majority. The people knew, what they were do ing' when they voted for.him. for he is a man well known throughout the state and is well qualified to represent Ore gon In the United States Senate. The' Legislature should promptly ratify , the election tf Mr. , Geer.: This would be obeyjrtg the law, and It would set a precedent that would in the fu ture prevent Senatorial congests in the Legislature of Oregon. s ' But, if the Legislature should ignore the popular vote and refuse to ratify the election of Mr. Geer. the people will probably, and it "would be right if they would, ignore the laws of this Legisla ture, by a "popular "vote, "through the referendum. , Fjbr citizens should not be compelled to obey the laws made by a Legislature that does hot itself obey . law. ; FARMER.

Until there is a! definite law. the plan adopted by the Oregon Legislature of 1901 seems to.be the most practicable; that of voters expressing their choice for a Senator at a general election, as was done in Oregon last June.
