Hvory votor who roads theso ilrculars, which consist mainly of
iibuso of tho reform elements of tho state and the Portland Jour

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
