CURIOUS situation exists in the republican party m Orojron. The rank and file has repudiated the party machine, yet the machine has named the guberna torial candidate-though ty9 less than a third of the votes. The self-constituted assembly, which chose Jay Bowor nmu.tlio:.t)latform ha stands upon, the principles he ad vocates,' tile 'machine methods which he personifies, have been overwhelmingly rejected by the rank and file yet xnc rcpuuiican party goes 10 election turner n-juiuiisuip ut the head and front of this rejected assembly, personifying the-repudiated methods and discarded principles so otfen sive to the inajority of the party. The great corporate interests of Oregon were repre sented in the assembly. They nominated Jay Bowerman, va railroad attorney, to lead the ticket. Organized prop erty was and is for him. The unorganized masses were and are against him, for he represents as party nominee, just what he represented as assembly nominee big busi ness interests the "system." "Tha state? I am the state I" said .Louis A IV. "Xiic republican party ? We are the republican party, ' ' asserted the assembly, which proceeded to read out of the party anyone refusing to wear its collar. The assembly declared war upon "popular" government, demanded a return to "representative" government that is, machine rule as long as the assembly is the machine. This assembly of pie-counter politicians and corpora tion cormorants, with its reactionary platform and defi ance of the people, with its commendation of Cannonism, Aldriclusm and standpatism, deaf to popular clamor, bone-headedly ignorant of the national wave of protest against machine government, blind to the hand-writing on the wall, took its little slate before the rank and file of the republican party, wherc-it faced the deep-set anger of an outraged people. The unorganized rank and file promptly smashed the slate of the organized few except in the case of the head of the ticket, where the organized assembly concentrated its support, while the unorganized rank and file split be tween three candidates and lost. Yet so strong was the protest that less than a third of the votes were cast for Jay Bowerman, assembly candidate for governor and re publican nominee by grace of an overwhelming but. di vided opposition. For now comes the Portland Oregonian, spokesman-in-chief for the assembly, and states that the election did not settle the question that the people have not yet disap proved of the assembly, only of its methods. So the elec tion of Jay Bowerman, assembly nominee for governor, will be construed as an endorsement by the people of the assembly with its war on popular government, with its "knife to Jiilt for Statement No. 1." There is only- one way to kill the assembly, and that is by hitting it in the head aborning with a sledgehammer blow, by striking down the originator, instigator, organ izer anT manipulator of the assembly, the father of this reincarnation of. the convention, this attempted reaction ary restoration of machine rule by defeating Jay Bower man, assembly nominee for governor, and master mechanic of machine politics. EDUCATING THE HAEDSHELLS. THE vote in Jackson county in the recent primary marks this county the most progressive politically in the First congressional district. The wave of revolt that swept the nation against "pork barrel" politics has not as yet permeated the thick-skinned, moss-covered Silurians of the Willamette valley. It could hardly be expected to, a commonwealth so behind in progress could hardly be expected to grasp progressive political ideas with any degree of expediency. Somewhere in the next decade the Willamette valley will grasp the idea, and then for generations it will vote against Cannonism, like the gentleman from Arkansas who didn't know the war was over. OSWALD WEST (Oregon Journal.) His party has put Oswald West forward for the position of governor No candidate was ever more fitted or offered to the people of Oregon. Ho is of the type of men who uch ieve large things. He is n product of the lower levels from which has come the best tho country has ever known, no was born in poverty, und his early career was in the midst of ad versity. Ho was herding livestock at Portland and driving a butcher wagon at Salem at the age when oth er boys were at their games. Tho pinch of necessity drove him to lab or when other lads at his age were at school or at their pastimes. It is a story of youth,that accom panies many a pile of this country's illustrious numes. It is tbe crucible und preparation of many a splendid public scrvicoYoung West was taken from school while yet inliis teens to become a, messenger in a bank. But the fibre of munhood was in him und he rose quickly to a position of lurge confidence, Ifiis reputation spread and another financial insti tution bid and secured his services. Then tbo commonwealth of Oregon culled him up higher and lie became u stato land agent. It was the swift working out of a career of a young mad who had'raado good in whatever capacity he served. No official ever served Oregon better than did Oswaid West in his administration in the state laud de partment. It was an administration by, a laud of notion, System wuh in- trodticed un'd order was applied. Graft was brought to an end and busi uess principals installed. Laud thieves were apprehended und thuir stealings recovered aud returned to the public domain. Go-betweens were banished from the state house and the puiuhaser of Htute lands was brought into immediate touch with tho state's agent and without fee or price. There has always bo fore been scandal in the office and it is noticuble that tlieie has never been scandal since. West entered the position and cleaned it up. For his .splendid serrlco us atote hu:d agent, Mr.Wcst was culled up highpr. It was proomtlou and the utilization by the stato of his splen did executive ability. Ho becumo a member of tho railroad commission, and tho splendid work A tho com mission is u further monument of his executive genius. It is a work that has been done without u brass bund, or pomp, or heraldry. It has been u quiet, unassuming udmiutsru tion of a great trust. Its results are told off ovory duy in the great sums that uro being saved tho consumers producers mid shippers of Oregon. Mr. West is of tho Chemborlnm school of administration. His train ing was under Chambethiin in the two administrations by Unit notable govornor, which administrations woro tho most satisfactory Und most populuv that Oregon ever hud. Such has been the tinusitiou of Oswald West from a penniless boy hood to u caudiducy for the chief JOSEPHINE-COUNTY ASSESSED VALUATION GROWS lOPEfiCEHT Healthy and Conservative Growth Is Showrt Over 2f),000 Acres of Til lable Land Is Found In tho County.
