portion of the amendment, and of a
Jaw which may be enacted -under the
amendment, Is to prevent the noml
cation of persons who are the choice
of a small minority ot the voters.
Such a system of voting would have
made a great difference In the result
ot the nomination for Senator In this
btate In 106. In the primary con-t-st
In that )ar there worn five can

Cake by a few oies. Aa everyone
knows. It wan a Dourno and anti
Bourne fight. Mr. Bourne had a cer
tain definite support, but the oppo
sition to him was divided among four
candidates. Aa a result. Bourne re
ceived more votes than any one of his
opponents. He was the first choice
of those who voted (or him. but he
was not the second choice ot any con
siderable number of voter. Those
who wanted biro nomlnated.otcd for

scattered their votes and waMed
them. Under a plan which permitted
the expression of a second choice,
Mr. Cake would have received many
second-choice votes from the sup
porters of Lowell. Smith and Watson',
while Mr. Bourne would have receiv
ed very few. The vote nt the primary
election atood thus:

BRIEF MENTION
Total 42.80S
Mr.Bourne was nominated by ubout
30 percent of the Republicans of tho
state. It was a fight with Bourne
against the field, and the field votes
would have been distributed among
the field candidates for second choice,
and would not have been given to
Itourne, Cake, presumably, would
have had the larger number, but In
Kastern Oregon both Smith and Low
oil would have been tho second cliolcu
of largo numbers of the votera who
inadu Bourne or Cako first choice.
There was no particular objection to
these candidates, or to Watson, so
that they and Mr. Cake could reason
ably expect to receive second choice
votes from all sources. Mr. Bourne
could not expect to get any consid
erable number of second-choice votes,
for those who did not vote for him
were against him. It la quite possi
ble that It second-choice votes bad
been added to first choice votes.Smlth
and Lowell, as well as Cake, would
have bad more votes .tljan Bourne,
for, where a second choice Is permit
ted at all, It is made compulsory.
This is necessary in order to make
tho system effective. The Bourne sup
porters would hare had to distribute
their second-choice votes somewhere,
