It didn't in those days but times have niinnupii. Thpoiior.. Roosevelt Introduced tho "square deal" in poli tics and it has proven popuiar. The "square deal" is merely the modern version of tho golden rule. The Times is a Roosevelt Republican news paper. It believes In the application of tho "square deal" in politics as well as the other relations of life. It Is not a "square deal" for a few Republicans to choose a list of delegates, have them printed and tell the majority here are the men you aro to vote for. The Times believes In party organization. It believes in a Republi can assembly, but it should be an assembly to discuss party principles, policies and a platlorm and not an assembly to usurp the powers of a State law and select .he men that Republicans are to vote for. The pri mary law provides for the manner of making nominations and is binning on all alike, Republicans, Democrats and Socialists. Morals are not defined by the confines of a political party. When The Times declared that the Portland assembly was an evasion of a State law i, was not dealing In platitudes. It was telling an absolute truth. It matters not what your politics, 'the truth must be recognized. The Times prints the .following letter from one of Coos County's leading a.torneys, In which he upholds and substantiates the statement that the assembly as It is proposed is an evasion of the primary law.
