A plain Btntemont of tho political
Hitnmtlon in Oregon nt thin timo mny
bo of gonoral Interact. Our primary
election' law provldos that an doc
tor seeking ofneo may got his name
on the party'B ballot by petition, in
which, among other thingB, ho ngroos
to "accept the nomination and will
not withdraw" and If elected "will
qualify as Btich officer," implying, of
courne, that, ho will also servo.
In the cane of a legislator's nomi
nation tho candldato mny In addition
to stating on his petition in not to
excedd 100 words what moaBuros and

If he does not subscribe ho nhall not

that threo cournos aro opon to him:
Three Courses Open.
He may oubscrlbo to Statement No.
1, as follews:
"I further state to tho pooplo of

my logtalattvo district, that during
my term of ofllco, will ntways voto
for that candldnto for United States

tho highest numbor of tho pcoplo'n
votes for that position nt the genernl
election next preceding the election
-of a fconator In congress, without ro
gard to my individual proforonco"
or, no may eniuscnuu to onuviuuni
'No. 2, as follews:
"During my term of offlco I Bhall

Tho law further provides that Uni
ted States snnators may ho nomluntod
by their respective parties in tho
party primaries and tho cnndldato re
volving tho greatest numbor of votes
thereby bucomo tho party nominee.
Then In the general election tho pur
tv nominees are voted for by tho peo-
strtict our roprosontntlves and sena

such oHlcorB, to voto for and elect tho
candidates for United Stateo Venator

Won on Itn MerltH.
Althought thcro was no organized
campaign mndo for tho adoption of
tho bill other than tho nrgumont ac
companying Its nubmlsBlon, whllo op
ponents of tho prlmnrv law assailed
It vehemently, tho basic prlnclplo of
Statement No. 1 and tho election of
United States Bonntors by tho pcoplo
was thuiB again Indorsed In tho pns
sago of this bill by a popular voto
of 09,505 for It to 21,182 against It,
or.by noarly 3& to 1,
Tho Oregon loglilaturo consists of
90 members, 30 in tho scnato And
00 In tho house, 46 making tho nec
essary majority on full attondnnco
for tho election of United States nen
ntors. At the last election tho numbor
of Statement No. '1 legislators elect
ed was suiTlclont with tho Statement
No. 1 hold-over senators to ralo tho
whole numbor thus plodgod to CI,
making on Joint ballot a majority of
flvo out of a total of 00 memborn.
All of these- 51 mombors subscribed
