Hvory votor who roads theso ilrculars, which consist mainly of iibuso of tho reform elements of tho state and the Portland Jour nal, will understand their purpose. There should bo a stato law requiring tho authors of such documents TO SIGN THEIR NAMES AND ADDRESS, so that tho press nnd the peoplo might judgo of THE MOTIVE AND CHARACTER OF THB I'ERSON SENDING THEM OUT, ASCERTAIN WHO PUTS UP THE MONEY AND WHAT INTERESTS AltE BEING PROEOTKD OR ADVANCED THEREBY. If those Interests aro respectable and honorable they should not tc afraid to bo known. So far the Portland managers who hive boon making war on Ihe Direct Primary nnd Statement No. 1 nnd the Initiative and Referendum have produced more vitu peration than argument. THE PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO BE CONVINCED OF THE ERROR OF THEIR WAX'S IF YOU WILL SHOW Til KM A BETTER WAY, but cannot be bulldozed into abandoning reform principles and measures aimed at bettering the machinery of political action until something better Is offered them.

Tho average citizen goto nothing out of any political campaign but the right to vote, and he should mso that right .against political rottennes, corrupt men and methods, and In the end Justice to tho masses of the people will be advanced, and the good government will be advanced.
