Wo Having lost two governors and the last United States sen ator, the question asked above is 'timely and all-important for those calling themselves Republicans to consider. l(i the general state election to be held in November, 1910, a full set of state officers, including governor, will be chosen. The announcement is made that a state assembly will be held to name Republican candidates and that an effort will be made to repeal certain reform measures, This program is announced with considerable authority back of it, although it is not an official declaration of the Republican state committee. It Is also announced that county assemblies are to be held to nominate Republican county legislative candidates, This program is outlined arid will be prossed upon the Re publican leadership of Oregon as a good business policy for the party to pursue, , , , , Of course, as far as an assembly succeeds in making a Republican state, or county, ticket, it is an attempt to dis place or subvert the direct primary law. If that were all that is sought to be accomplished by the assembly program it would not be so serious a matter, But it is understood and proposed to sweep away the whole direct legislation and direct election of United States senators system that has been enacted by the people of Oregon. , ... Is it wise or necessary to put the Republican party into that attitude of hostility to popular reforms? When other states are adopting the Oregon plan of elect ing senators, and Oregon reforms, who is prepared to say that the people of Oregon are ready to adopt a reactionary policy? Prominent leaders of the Republican party at Portland and a few throughout tlie state have declared for nominat iing a ticket and making a platform in opposition to progres sive ideas, Having made a brief trial of direct nominations and direct elections of senators and direct legislation, they want no mofe. They want the Republican party to return to the conven tion systom of nominations, They want the people to abandon direct electoin of sen ators, They want the citizen to surrender Ins right to a direct voice m the law-making business, Thoy want to take away from the people the power of control and direction in governmental affairs, Thoy want, in the namo of the Republican party, to ask the pooplo to surrender certain newly acquired political rights and prerogatives. , I ask Republicans this questien: Is this a good, safe, sound, sane, intell'gent political platform to go before the people upon? You will have to decide this question for yourselves and for your party. , , ,. If opposition to popular reforms is not a wiso pokey, what is a safe and sane line to pursue? I ask you to consider this fact: Twenty-seven states have adopted in various forms direct election of U, S, senators, A majority of these states are Republican states. Other Republican states are enacting the Oregon direct primary law and diiect legislation. I ask Republicans to consider this fact of political histery: Nowhere in any country have the people ever gained po litical rights and afterwards voluntarily surrendered them. Thoy will not begin to take the backward track in Oregon, In placo of inviting the people to accopt a reactionary, back-tracking program at the hands of the Republican party, what should wo ofiei to the olectoiate of -Oregon? It is assumed that patriotic Republican leaders respect the popular will, desire to obey the laws, and want party success Republican lenders in stato and county politics have no Intorest In antagonizing the grange, labor organizations, churches, or any body of people favorable to reform moas- Tho writer would suggest to them to go slow about put ting their party upon record as hostile to reform policies in which the whole body of the Amer'can people aro interested, Let us have, on the contrary, a state assembly of leading and influential Republicans to create enthusiasm for sound Republican principles, to enunciate a sound Republican plat form, to hear good Republican speeches and to declare re newed expressions of allegiance to the sovereign will of the electorate.

That would accomplish muc h good for the party, Such an assembly could go a step farther and recommend obedience to, and enforcement of, the direct pr'mary law, the Australian ballot law, the corrupt practices act, and the di rect election of United States senators. They could leave the recall and proportional representation to be worked out in the futuie, Above all, such .an assembly; represent'ng Republicans of all shades of opinion and 'from all parts of the state, could recommend that all candidates from the highest to the lowest offices, submit their names to the direct primary w;th a sim ple pledge to support the party nominee. Now, in all frankness and fairness, is not this a better program for Republicans than to go before the people to over throw reform polcies enacted by the people? Would not some such a program as i have outlined above fit the situation because it is right and just? Why should not the Republicans of Oregon bury the dis cords of the past and hold steadily to the newer and better policies? It was McKinley who said "Keep close to the people." Can we close our ears to the chaste voice of the people? Have not Republicans had enough of policies that put their party on the defensive and lose them the control of public affairs? Is the Republican party forever to apologize for having given the people modern implements and up-to-date wea pons with which to battle against the trusts and the spoilers of the common people?
