10 THE SUNDAY OKEGOMAA, PORTLAND, 'JANUARY 23, 1910. ASSEMBLY IDEA IS GAINING IN FAVOR Main Objections to Plan of Ad vising Voters Come From Party Enemies. LEADERS EXPRESS, VIEWS Ke-publk'ans In Some Sections Be lieve A-ssemblies Only Needed in State and Congressional Elections at Present. Continued from First F'ase. In solidifying th dominant party, is -ip-pro cd by the Kepubllcart" of this county. Make Fight on Machine. ' Republicans of Lincoln County are strongly In favor of th as?mbly plan. R. A. Bensell. one of tha strongest Re publicans of this Const county, charges that the present "loo" system has given the state th Krons-iet machines tver seen in Oregon politics. "The only thing to avoid in the organisation of assemblies.'-, save Mr. Bensell. "is "the appear ance of prearranged slates ' to dele gates." Dr. F. M. Carter, also of Lincoln Coun ty, criticises the present system under which there is no limit to the number of candidates, with the result that many who become candidates have no qualifica tions to commend them for uubllc office. Dr. Carter cites the election of Senator Bourne as a misrepresentaiion of the choice of a majority of the Republican voters of the state. He referp to the fact that Bourne received the Jtopublican nomination by a vote of only about 13,000 while in the general election which fol lowed a total of 43.000 ballots" were cast. Malheur County Republicans would hold sssemones only lor euggertlng candidates" for slate and CongTesuiouul offices, leav ing the nomination of candidates for dis trict, county and precinct officers to be determined by the voters under the direct primary as it stands. This position is taken on the theory that a state or Con gressional assembly is advisable, since the candidate?" for those offices frequently are not known to the voters of the re mote section;-! of the state. An assembly for tho selection of these candidates, it is suggested, would be proper as a means of insuring the selection of the best men. and at the same time recommending them to the electors of the etate lor indorse ment in the primaries'. On the other hand, it is argued tl-.at candidates for district, county and pre cinct offices are usually known to all vot er in the particular section of the state in which they are seeking office, and for that reason the electors arc qualified to pass on three aspirants and their respec tive merits without the formality of an advisory assembly. Tillamook Favors Plan. In Tillamook County, the Republicans are especially strong for the assembly plan. As H. T. Botts says: "This plan seems to have worked out well for the Democrats, and tha best is none too good for Republicans." Carl Habcrlach, Con-gress-ional Committeeman from that coun ty, however, questions' the advisability of holding local or county a .emblie!, fear ing that eventually they mlsrht pass into tiic control of yoin- - )I'.m-al clique for seltlsh purposes. .; , me time he favors a state awpmbiy jf about 500 dele gates, to be selected by the members of the various rrly organizations iu the dif ferent counties. As a rule, those opposing the assembly profess complete satisfaction with the direct primary as it stands, and declare they do not wont any change. I. s. Smith, an ex-member of the Legislature from Coos County,-is apprehensive lest the as sembly may result in giving to selfish politicians an opportunity to organise the primaries and control the assemblies, botn county and state. Admitting that he Is by no means satlslld ilth the present system, Mr. Smith would give it a further trial. From Jackson County comes the report that the principal opposition to th pro posed assembly comes from independents and Democratic nonpartisans, who oppose any plan which will make for a united Republican party and thereby encompass their political defeat. C. A. Sehlbrede. of Marshfleld, a mem ber of the Republican State Central Com mittee, writes that the Republicans in that section of the state are not only fa vorable to the assembly, but ar? almost unanimously opposed to Ptatcnient No. 1. The following Interviews r,n Hie nm. posed assembly were obtained during the last week by correspondents of The Ore gonlan in the several counties indicated. COLUMBIA WOULD ALTER LAW Republicans AVant Assembly, but Be lieve Law Should Provide II. CLATSKANIE. Or., Jan. 22. (Special.) Republicans of Columbia County are not a unit in declaring: for the assembly. The need of such a plan for bringing suitable candidates before the people is very generally- recognized, but there are members of the party who feel that before assem blies are held, the direct primary law should be amended so as specifically to provide such a method. The following : expressions on the asaenibly were obtained rod ay : Norman Merrill I am for the assembly plan, but believo the primary law should be so amended that it would leave no doubt as to the legality of the proposed assemblies. The county assembly should be called by the Republican County Cen tral Committee, and should be composed of delegates selected from the precinct assemblies. The county assembly should name the delegates to the state assembly. I believe the state assembly should be held the latter part of June" or early in July. W. H. Conyers Tou can say that I am In favor of the assembly. The county as sembly should be called by the Republican County Central Committee, and the dele gates lo It chosen from the different pre cinct assemblies. The county assembly should precede the state assembly. B. W. Conyers. State Representative J am decidedly in favor of the assembly plan for the recommendation of candi dates to be nominated by the people at the primary election. It is the only safe and honorable plan yet devised for the preservation of the Republican party. The county assembly should be called by the .Republican County Central Committee, and should be composed of delegates from the precinct assemblies. The county as sembly should elect delegates to the state assembly, which should be held subse quent to the county assemblies. C C. Martin, logger I am in favor of the assembly plan, believirur it will pro ! duce the best results I wouVd prefer an 1 assembly prorlded for by law. I trust the primary law will be amended to provide for holding assemblies. Delegates should be elected at called meetings of the voters In the precincts and the county assembly should precede the state assembly and elect delegates to the latter gathering-. V. S. Despaln I am opposed to the pro posed assembly, believing that It is an at tempt to evade the direct primary law. Dr. H. R. Cliff I believe in the assem bly plan for the reason thst In my opin ion, a delegated body will come nearer selecting and recommending satisfactory candidates on whom the party can unite than the people will be able to in the pri mary election. Delegates should be elect ed by the Republicsn voters at called mass meetincs. The county assembly should precede, and select delegates to. the state assembly. Martin White. Sheriff I am opposed to the assembly and believe any candidate asking for office should be willing to sub mit his claim directly to the people, undei the provisions of the direct primary law. "W. A. Harris. County Clerk I am .strongly opposed to the assembly, and be lieve firmly in the direct primary law as it stands. . 1 COOS COUNTY SEES NEED. TOO Republicans Are Not Satisfied With Present Election System in State. MARSHFIELD. Or.. Jan. 22. (Spe cial. The ' proposal that Republicans hold assemblies meets with the ap proval of some of the leading members of the party in Coos County, while others are not entirely- favorable to the change. It Is likely there is a division of opinion, taking the Republican vot ers of the county throughout. Follow ing are the opinions of some: Dr. J. T. McCromac. president Marsh field Chamber of Commerce I certainly approve or the plan of the Republican party for holding assemblies. We must have some system and an organization with a recognized head, and the assem bly plan would accomplish this. The members of the party cannot all come together, and the logical plan is for them to select delegates to act for them, t should think any fair plan for the se lection of delegates would answer. The county assemblies' should be held first, and at these gatherings delegates should be elected to attend the state assembly. ! Dr. E. Mingus The Idea of holding ' assemblies by the Republican, party . meets with my hearty approval. We cannot accomplish anything In a hap hazard way, but in politics, the same as in anything else, there must be organi zation along business' lines. There must be a head which is recognized as such before we can work properly and obtain all the results possible. When ever the state assembly is held, I think the county assembly should be held first and delegates selected for the state assembly, much on the order of . the old convention plan. The matter of selecting delegates should be easy to decide upon. 1. S. Smith, an ex-member of the Legislature While I do not care to say that I om absolutely opposed to the assembly plan. I should prefer to see the present plant tried out a, little longer. My objection to the assembly plan Is that it might drift back to the old way of sometimes fixing up prima ries for the benefit of certain candi dates. Our present plan may turn out to be .iust as bad. but I think it is too -.oen to change and I had rather see a further trial of the present arrange ment. If assemblies, are to be held I think The county gathering should pre cede the state meeting, and the latter, I should think, ought to be held, prob ably In May. My guess would be that there is a. division of sentiment among Republicans in this county as to the assembly. Dr. C. W. Tower I approve of the assembly plan as being the proper thing for the Republicans. I have not thought out any of the details as to time and method of holding the as semblies, but should think that the county assemblies should be held first, and delegates chosen, for the state as sembly, after the same plan of holding the old-style convention. C. A. Sehlbrede, member Republican State Central Committee I wish to ex press myself as heartily In favor of both state and county assemblies for the purpose of recommending to the Republican voters of the state candi dates to be voted for at the next prim ary nominating election. The County Central Committee of this county Is Srlmost unanimous on the question. I knew the sentiment of such prominent Republicans of this county as J. S. Barton. Congressional committeeman: lion. P. Lu Pbelan, chairman County Central Committee; Hon. A. H. Derby shire. Judge J. H. Guerrey. Dr. E. Min gu. Hon. J. W. Bennett. Senator W. C. Phase. Hon. A. S. Hammond, Hon. C. R. Parrow, Hon. W. H.

UATtJfEV DEMANDS ASSEJIBW Primary liaw Disorganizes ItepuMU can Party and Favors Minority. Bt'RNS. Or.. Jan. 22. (Special.) Charging that the direct primary law gives every advantage to the minority party and has served badly to disor ganize the Republican party. Harney County Republicans indorse the assem bly plan. .Discussing the assembly and how these gatherings should be organ ized and conducted, representative Re publicans today gave the following in terviews: James J. Donegan, County Assessor Under the present operation of the direct primary law the Republican party of the state Is practically dis organized, and 1 am in favor of an assembly. In my opinion the delegates to the assembly should be sent from a county assembly composed of delegates elected direct from the precincts of the county. The state assembly should write the platform and. acting in an advisory capacity. suggest suitable candidates . for the different state and Congressional offices. Under present conditions, the primary law gives all of the advantage to the minority party. The minority party holds mass meet ings, caucuses, etc., and agrees on can didates. Why not the majority party? I. Geer, merchant and member of the Ieglslature in 1901 I am in favor of a state assembly of the Republican party. I would recommend the naming of a ticket, providing candidates de sired the recommendation, and then have the nomination ratified at the regular primary. This would not pre vent any other party contesting the acts of the assembly, and would per haps be the means of naming a ticket that would be representative of the whole party.

Fifth nominations are generally disastrous at the polls, on general election. By the assembly plan it takes none of the rights away from the voters, as they nave tne power at the primary to set the matter right by running independ-J ent candidates. I also favor a county assembly of, say, 50 to 75 delegates, chosen from the various precincts, this assembly to be held previous to the state assembly and to choose delegates for the state, assembly: and should can didates for county offices so desire, have, the assembly Indorse or reject their names. I offer these suggestions from the feelings I should have were I a candidate for office. I would prefer the recommendation of the assembly and ratification by the primary, than to go before the primary direct, and should the assembly not see fit to indorse me as a candidate I certainly would retire from the field. An assembly properly managed would be well for the party, the candidates and the individual voter. William Miller, Chairman Republican County Central Committee I am in favor of the assembly. Its scope should be broad enough to make it of use in fact, as well as in name. I would pat tern it after the system in vogue prior to 1905, towit: The convention, that is: First, the primary convention in each precinct, which should recommend such names for preciTict officers aid elect auch delegates to a county convention, to follow, and which in turn would rec ommend such candidates for the vari ous county offices to be filled; also elect delegates to the state organiza tion. The state assembly, in turn, would recommend such candidates for the various state and district offices.

' and Stark J &. county in the assembly plan for the rehabilitation of the Republican party in Oregon. Those who have been ac tive workers and leaders in the party for years are strongly in favor of the plan, though, of course, independents and the Democratic nonpartisan breth ren are naturally opposed to a proposi tion that means defeat for them. Dis cussing the assembly. Republicans to- day said: Gus Newbury I believe In .the as sembly plan in state and county. The county assembly, prior to the state gathering, should be a very large and representative gathering of county Re publicans. I do not think such a gath ering is in the least in contravention of the principles of the primary law. . B. V. Carter, ex-State Senator I have not gone Into the details of the plans for the proposed assembly, but I would favor any measures - that would bring together the party representatives for the formation of party platforms and the selection of candidates before the party primaries. The Republicans can accomplish nothing without organiza tion, and under the existing order of things in this state the proposed as sembly plan seems -to offer the only way open for the members of the party to make organization effective. E. (T. Staples, ex-chalrman Republi can County Central Committee, and candidate for State Senator four years ago Believing that organized political parties have proven beneficial in cre ation of improvement towards best gov ernment, and that all sincere citizens should study politics and enlist with some party for purpose of maintaining the best government, and having allied myself with the Republican party, be lieving that it promulgates the most wholesome principles. I consider it proper for chosen representatives of our party to assemble and nominate candidates and formulate platforms, etc. It seems eminently probable that far better results would be obtained than under the perjury-breeding pro ceedings of the past few years, where in political enemies were enabled to de feat the nomination of the best candi date, and the one most popular among the people and his party, thus either defeating our party candidate or forc ing election of a less qualified one. By all means let us have an assembly. Dr. J. K. .Reader, one of the pioneer Republican workers of the state, who is always interested in party success, but never seeking office, is emphatic ally in favor of the assembly plan. ASSEMBLY WIL,!, END CLIQUES Lincoln County Republicans Freedom From "Machine"' In Plan. NEWPORT. Or.. Jan. 22. (Special.) Lincoln County's representative Re publicans are strongly in favor of the assembly plan They believe tnat the assembly provides the only way by which a clearly defined party can be maintained. In discussing the assem bly, prominent members of the party today expressed themselves aa follows: " R. A. Bensell The present loose sys tem has given us the strongest "ma chine" ever seen in Oregon politics a machine with nobody capable of managing it. The main thing to avoid in the proposed assemblies is the ap pearance of "fixed" delegates. Dele gates to the county assemblies should be selected by assembling either at th; county seat or in each precinct. Only those should be permitted to vdte in the selection of these delegates as are entitled to vote the Republican ticket. The state assembly should precede the primary nominating election, and coun ty assemblies should precede the state assembly C. B. Crosno I don't like the name "assembly." It sounds as if the Re publicans were ashamed of their old time conventions. As long as our gov ernment continues to be a representa tive one. I see no reason why a party should not also be representative If it so desires. Especially do I think we should be allowed to hold the kind of conventions that named Lincoln and McKinley. I also believe it right to keep up the party organization. If anyone thinks the assemblies have made any mistake In suggesting can didates, he has his remedy; he can gret out his own nominating petition and get his name on the ticket, and if he is nominated in the primaries, we Re publicans will support him. aa we have done in the past. The delegates to the state assembly should be elected by the county meetings. Delegates to the county assemblies should be elected by the precinct organizations.

Fifth and Stark the party name? We elect Taft and Chamberlain, one to oppose the other. Dr. F. M Carter, of Newport I firm ly believe "in the Republican assembly plan: but it should be general, so that every Republican can be represented through his precinct. Let each pre cinct in the county hold a meeting: and elect delegates, according to tho num ber of Republican votes east in the precinct, to attend the county assem blies, and there elect delega-es to at tend the state assembly. Let the as sembly recommend the various candi dates to be voted for in the primary election. I would have the precinct meetings take place in June,' and tho county assemblies meet about ten days later, and the state assembly about Au gust 1. I don't believe in the present system of each candidate nominating himself, neither- do I think it was a fair representation of the people when Senator Bourne was nominated by only 13,000 votes, although 43.000 ballots were cast aj. the general election. William F. Ready Republican as semblies should be held. If only for the purpose of adopting party platforms and recommending to the favorable consideration of the Republican voters of this state and the different counties the names of the best-qualified, actual Republicans as candidates for the party nominations. I am favorable to the plan in its general phases. Delegates should be elected at a mass meeting called by each precinct committeeman Delegates thus selected should meet In the county assemblies and af l.-ot dele gates to the state assembly, which should be held 30 days prior to the pri mary nominating election. The county assemblies should precede the state as sembly at least 14 days, so as to give the delegates to the state assemblv from the distant parts of the state plenty of time to reach the city wnro the gathering will he held.
