Tho first move of the ad ministration to bring about his rc nomiuatioii is just now being miiile in tho state of Oregon. Although tho people of Oregon have again and again repudiated the machine politicians of their state President Taft looks to that machine for help instead of to the progres sives. Evidently, fearing to trust his case to the people in the Presiden tial preferential primaries to bo held in Oregon next year, Mr. Taft de pends on tho discredited opponents of tho Oregon system of direct leg islation to deliver a Taft delegation to the national convention. Taking Patronage From Progressiva Senators. Two motives are concerned in this apparent alliance first, that of tho president, and, second, that of the enemies of tho direct-primary sys tem. These motives travel parallel, one actuated by ambition and tho other by political revenge. The lie that hinds, is federal patronage. Oregon recently extended the pii mnry system to include presidonti.il electors and delegates to the national conventions, thus giving voters nn opportunity to express thoir prefer ence for presidont and vice president. This presidential primary will he heul in Oregon in April, 1912, several mouths before the nntional conven toius. Now bear in mind tho significance of this event: tho republican voteis of Oregon will go to tho polls nnd vote for Taft. or La Follette, or Koo&cvelt, or whomeer eneh man wants, to be tho nominee of tho re publican parly for prosidont. (Sim ilarly, the domocrats will vole fv Harmon, or Wilfeon, or Folk.) Hemombor, nlso, tho advanfngo of receiving tho endorsement of tho republican', of an ontire stnto nt such nn earlv dato as. April. Mr. Taft wants the endorsement of tho Ore gon republicans. To get it, ho has commit ted himself to tho standpat republicans of Orogon, who hnvo been rojmlsod at the polls time after timo. An understanding exists botwoon Mr, Taft's political manager, Postmaster-General Hitchcock, and Ralph B. William, the chief standpatter u' tho state, who is republican nntional oommhtoenmn for Oresron. In effect, it is this: If the president will asUt in discrediting Senator Bourne ami provont him from nominating politi cal supporters to important federal appointments, the standpat n-publi cans -will see that a Taft delegation is sent from Oregon toahc republican national convention. As is generally known, tho presi dent, early in his administration, un dertook to punish tho "progressive senators hi' depriving them of federal patronage; after some months, realiz ing his error, he caused Sccretar. Norton to issuo a letter to the effect that thereafter tho progressives would receive all the patronago which belonged to them, nnd that he, the president, would no longer attempt to interfere. All Hint tho president wanted was harmony any insur gent senator was weloomo to what belonged to him. Ju the present con nection, pnrts of this letter will boar quriting. (It was written September 13 last) : "While republican legislution pend ing in congress was opposed by cer tain republicans, the president felt it to he his duty to the party and in the country to withhold federal pat ronage from certain senators and congressmen who seemed to be in opposition to the administration's ef forts to carry out the promises of the party platform. That attitude, however, ended with tho primary elec tions and nominating .conventions which havo now been held, and in which the voters have had opportun ity to declare themselves. . . . In tho preliminary skirmishes in cer tain states, like Wisconsin and Iowa and elsewhcro, ho was willing, in tho interest of what tho Ioadors boliovcl would load to party success, to mako certain discriminations, hut the pres ident has concluded that it is his duty now to treat all republican congress men and bona tors alike, without any distinction. Ho will now follow tho usual rule in republican congressional districts nnd states and follow the roiionunendutions made by republican congressmen and senators, of what ever shade- of political opinion, only requiring that the men recommended shall be good moil, the most compe tent and the best fitted for the of fice." Now, in the faco of this lultor of Secretary Norton's, Prosidont Taft is making nn exception. Ignoring Senator Hon inc. Senator Iloumo had a candidate for United Statos marshal of Oio gon. The standpat national commit teeman, Williams, had another--Elmer H. Cnhvell. Thero is in Oregon an uncoufinnod storv to the effoot that when Iloitrne ducuasod tho mar-1 shaUhip with Mr. Taft the letter said there would he no recess appoint- j inent. vet scarcely had coutrroi ad journed than r.ilwcll was handed a nri-, appointment. A joint protest. ngninst the cpufinnution of Colwc'l was filed by Senator Bourne, repub lican, nnd his colleague, Senutoi Chnmherluin, democrat. Next, the commission of P. S. Mal cojm us collector of customs at Portland was about to expire. Sena tor Bourne hud a candidate, and Williams asked-for the reappoint ment of Malcolm. President Taft has sent Malcolm's name to tho sen ate in accordance with Williams' re quest. The national committeeman's wishes enrry more weight with the president than those of the two sen ators. , Thus, up to tho present writing, the standpatters have the best of tho situation, for they hnvo tho president on their side and havo taken from Bourne his patronnge. The presi dential car is reached through Postmaster-General Hitchcock. How Tail Can Win. Ill turn, the standpatters promise to make good and deliver a delega tion for Mr. Taft. If Mr. Taft i tho presidential choice of tho major ity of republican voters in Oregon, he will, of course, havo the Oregon na tional delegation (expenses paid !y the state, after tho delegates are se lected by the people through the bal lot). But and hero is whero the standpatters oan deliver tho goods and repay Mr. Taft for his intori'er enco in patronage affairs should some other republican bo tho choice of tho peoplo of Oregon, .Mr. Wil liams, as national committeeman, can call a convention and have delegates selected for tho nationaj convention. Then, with the committee on credou tiuls in control of the Taft machi nery in tho national convention, the Williams delegation for Tuft would bo more likely to ho seated than i. pcoplo-choriou delegation pledged to some other republican. Of course it would ho an extreme usu of tho steam roller. Such is tho explanation given in Oregon. Tho strange nnd peculiar phaso of tho whole affair is the apparent ignorance of Prosidont Taft and Postmustor Gouoral Hitch cook of political condition, in Ore gon. For tho pat hix yoari. ono do foat has followed another for tho rc ateionary republicans. Any ono familiar with Orouon knows that' machine politician arf discredited, and apparently Mr. Talt and Postmaster Gonorai Hitchcock nre the only prominont outsiders who' entortain contrary opinions. Open-' miuded citizens presume that tho iol-1 icy the prosidont is following at th suggestion of Mr. Williams is duo to, the fiict that only ihc reactionaries huve the car nt the president j She arrived from Portland last week and went to Ashlnnd to be with her sister, Mrs. Mona Smith, who was undergoing an operation nt tho hos pital at that place. William Stimson of East Medford was in Phoenix Saturdny to make arrangements for interring Mrs. Woody who died in Medford Friday. And was buried at Phoenix Tuesday. All that was mortal of Mrs. S. F. McDonald of North Talent was laid to rest in Stearns cemetery above Talent Sunday. Services were held at tho Baptist church. Mrs. C. Carey has had hotbeds built which will hold about 10,000 to mato pliinls. And will raise only the best varieties for market nnd enn- ning purposes. She has the greater portion of her plants already en gaged by parties who bought her plants Inst season. Mrs. Ca ley's hus band has gnrdencd for over J10 years in this valley, nnd knows the vari eties that will yield best, and are best adapted to this locality. Mr. nnd Mrs. James Allen and daughter, Miss Clara, went to Ash lnnd Wednesday to visit friends. C. Carey was in Phoenix Wednes day on business. S. G. Van Dyke was trading in Phoenix Monday.
