and Orat r of Note
Hon. Frank Davey of Marlon coun
ty U one of the foremost candidates
for congress, and If nominated would
be able to mako a gallant and win-
Mrjr campaign for his party. 8ervlng
one term In the legislature, after
many rears in the newspaper pro
fusion, and being n lawyer of ability,
h Is widely known Jn the district,
eh a man capable of Ailing the office
i.f representative for the first dis
trict in a manner creditable to the
state. He baa a natural gift -of elo
quence and a Ions; experience with
legislative bodies 1b this estate ,and
Iowa, where he ban served iTchle
lerk In many sessions of the General
ssembly, Asked for a clearstate
irnt of his views on matters of great
moment in the coming campaign he
frankly gave them as follews:
I have no objections to giving an
open candid statement of my vlewa
"r a public questions, as I believe
tbr people are entitled jcknow what
U) Ir representative or aspirants for
h honors think upon all questions
In which the country is Interested.
So far as state policies are con
cerned. I have been in favor of the'
equalization of tax burdens so that the
KTcat corporations should bear their.
Mil of that nature la the lsjt jesolop,
j ir-d gftTe mT beet support-to. a slm-
'tar measure which was Introduced .by
Mr Harris. I have been 'in 'favor' bf
tated salaries for all oficers, 5dVt
Ported the bill for that purpose. 1
nave been in favor of bringing the
Ifcught for the maintenance of the
; Mays law and tho enactment of the
Direct Primary Law. Whllo these
th:ee Important measures failed of
rairag? this winter, no other Oregon
Legislature will dare to Ignore tho
people's demands and refuso to put
thsm into laws. My record on nil
Btate questions Is pretty generally
knewn and the greater part of It Is
In print, so I will say no more.
"On rational matters, I bnve always
bon nn advocate of the great Ameri
can doctrine of protection to home In
dustries, and I firmly bollove that It
li by the workings of that policy we
have become the richest, the most
proiperous and the most enterprising
cation of the world. Some features
have crept into our economic system
which may dlctato changes here nnd
there In the tariff schedule so as to
check monopoly and the tendency to
oppressive prices and wherever these
changes are necessary they should be
made, but I believe the great pro
tective principle should not bo aband
oned and that the changes In our
tariff laws should bo made by the
friends of protection. I bellve the
people of Cuba should havo the roost
advantogeuos trade relations with this
country that are consistent with the
safety and protection of our home
trade and Industry. I do not think
we should cripple or destroy any large
and legitimate enterprise at home for
the mere sentimentality of friendship
toward some other people.
"I have been an unequivocal 'sound
money man during all' the period of
doubt and wavering and I am In favor
of so fortifying our financial system
and perfecting the plan of providing a
stable and elastic money apply, that
our country will have the confidence
of the clvlllxed world and may be
rolleved as far as possible from any
danger of panic or great financial
stringency.
"I have always been and am a firm
advocate of the Isthmian canal at as
early a data as possible. I have al
ways shared the genera) '-western pref
erence for the Nicaragua route, but
T fe?l that the great advocates of the
Panama route must have good! res
pectable reasons for their belief and
Vim not' a stickler for one route or the
otherthe canal Is what I want and
now Is the time '

HON. FRA.NU I AVEY.
"I have become much Interested of
late In the movement for national road
Building and, am studying the ques
tion considerably, While not prepar
ed to say how far I wquld bo willing
to go In the project, I really believe
that the building of scientific, per
manent highways will have to be ac
complished through national and
state enterprise.
"I am Jn favor of government Im
provement of all natural highways of
coromerco and the removal of exist?
Ing obstructions therein. In this line
I want to see the Columbia river
brought to the best possible stage of
navigation from its mouth to the dist
ant recesses of .the foothills from
which It flows. I also think that the
Willamette river has been sadly neg
lected above the mouth of the Yam
hill and that there is no good reason
why it Is not kept In a navigable con-
to Corvallls during almost the
year. The same argument
ood for' any stream which pen-
a h'abtable, wealth-producing
r and "whlch presents a possl-
)f any system of navigation
'i will enable the producer to
.-. at i) 'he outside world.
I u.n In favor of better protection
of ' . forests and public lands from
the marauding influences of big cor
Dorations and conscienceless specu
lators, I wish thoy- bad had more of
such protection before now I bo
llove In a national Irrigation move
ment which will reclaim the deserts
and open another grand opportunity
for securing and building homes, and
I want such protection thrown around
those who reclaimed ares as will pro
nt their absorption by corporations
and syndicates and will preserve them
to actual settlers and bome-bullders.
"I holluvo In preserving and pro
tecting the respective rights anil In
terests of labor and capital, and In
giving to capital no advantage In
vihlch Its hanilnmldon labor tuny nut
participate equitably.
"With the building or the Isthmian
canal and the Impetus It will give
to manufacturing on the cons;, coup
led with the opportunities which are
Just opening In us In the Orient. I
look for grent things In Western Ore
gon ns well as throughout the grcut
rncllle belt, and the demand aye, the
necessity for tho Improvement of our
rivers and harbors will m no pressing
that our Kasteru Congressman will no
longer sneer at or Ignore It. I would
like to be a representative of those
newer and better conditions nnd to
contribute toward their achievement.
"Whut kind of primaries do I
want?"
'I do not care what sort of prim
urles are bold It tho people will but
attwnil and vote their sentiments If
the people of Marlon county want me
to go to congress let them say so If
they decldii In fuvor of another man,
all right, I shall neither (Mint nor
quarrel, but will support the other
man, loyally nnd faithfully. I be
lieve Marion county Is entitled to the
nomination and I believe there Is a
good show of getting It. Should that
honor come to me, I feel confident of
election."
(Kugeuo Register, Hep.)
As the tlmo draws near for the re
publican congressional convention to
be held in Eugene, Thursday, April
9th, to nominate as successor to Thos.
If. Tongue, Intereot centers in the
various candidates that will no doubt
come before tho convention. At this
writing It must be conceded that
Dinger Hermann has the lead, but
what convention day may bring forth
none can tell.
Marion county has at least two can
didates Davey and Catch. Just now
a very quiet contest Is bolng waged
In Marion county for capture of tbu
delegation, and It Is hard to tell which
aspirant will win out. Senators Mul
key, of Polk; and Eddy of Tillamook
are freely dlscussod, although, Eddy,
like Harris, of Ione, is said to be out
of I Linn Is making strong claims
for Percy, R. Kellyf yhllo Doughts
wants Kulk'rtDn. and Jackson decl4jt-s
mil w. i. vbwilt ib we one, man
calculated to satisfy tho claims of tho
party.
Judge Fullerton for Congress.
Th Itoseburg rialiiilcnler snys:
The many frlsmls of the Hon. J. C.
Kullettou In Douglas ami other coun
ties In HouthwtiBt Oregon lire urging,
him to become a candidate for con
gressional honors. So pronounced Ik
:he determination to run hi in for tho
position that delegations from several
of the prominent precincts have wait
ed on him nnd he litis taken the mut
ter under advisement. When the reh
resentntlvu of the I'lalmleoler walled
on the Judge to learn his decision lit
th matter tho Judgo stated Hint ho
had thought somewhat about It but
that he wanted rfoiiglus county to !
represented In the congressional con
vent an by a solid delegation and Hint
If Mr. Hermann was a candidate for
the ofilre he (Fullerton) did net: think
he would be. Nothing but the Judge'K
positive assertion that ha will not run
will convince his friends who are do
termlned to run him even against hlw
wlll, hut the PJalndcaltr Is convinced
tha' In the jlon. J. C. Fullerton the re
publlcsiiH of Douglas county have ir
man who believes moro In republican
harmony and prosperity than ho does
In pergonal aggrandliemenL Tho

It Is a noteworthy fact that thtr
