Eugene Register: A correspondent
of the Grants Pass Courier, writing
od the county assembly held In Johc
phlne county, In the course of his
artkrlo says:
Will the exponents of the assembly
plan explain just what you expect to
Kain by the methods pursued 111 your
recent meeting in which you took
the naming of candidates for county
office out of the hands of the peo
ple? Where do you get one single
hint or authority for what you did?
It might be well for the "Mfe-long
republican" who propounded this
deep and learned question to ex
plain where the assembly has taken
the naming of candidates for county
' offices out of the hands of the eonle.
If he has made such a wide study of
political questions, and of the direct
primary law In particular, he must
know that the only way for republi
can or democratic candidates to get
their names on a ballot Is to have
petitions, signed by the proper num
ber of registered electors, presented
to the county clerk, or secretary of
Htate, as the case may be. Knilorse
ment of the assembly In no way ob
viates the necessity of going through
the regular and prescribed formula.
Hut suppose for Just a minute that
the selection mude by the assembly
did go onto the ballot without fur
ther action on the part of the can
didate or his friends, wouldn't the
electors have the right to write In the
names of any other iiindldato that
they might prefer? Would there not
bo. In effect, a referendum, even
mirer thnn the referendum on laws
which now enn be petitioned for?
would It be neceHsary to volo for
the assembly candidates If there were
no other names on the ballot. Not
t all. It is an American right to
vote ror whomsoever the person
toiimi ror no named In the ballot or
not, and oven in the case of the nrl-
mnry election, voters cnn. and have
named n man not on the ballot.
But the fact remains that endorse
ment by the nssemlily does not In
a nlnglo particular supercede the
workings of the direct primary law.
Candidates have to secure the needed
number or signatures for their peti
tions, and from the requisite number
of precincts. By the naming ol can
didates in tho assembly, It Is held
that n gtenter degree of party feeling
run bo developed, that leading men
of tho party may be made to feel
Ihnt a considerable number of their'
fellows of tho party believe In them
and are ready to support them, and
thus encourage them to make a can
vasB for tho nomination. Able men
-do not enro particularly to glvo up lu
crative private business for a public
office with all the criticism It en-
inns, nor no they wish to be the
butt of ridicule or being considered
pgotlstlenl In aspiring to an office.
Taking It nil together there nre
ninny good reasons for the holding of
an assembly, and one of the chief nf
the rensons Is that by so doing suit
able men nre encouraged to run
for ntnre. and without In nnv nlut
doing violence to the laws of the

WHY THIS POWWOW?
Tlio rhnrfip of ilio dnniocrntic presH

was either a violation or an ovnaion
of tho direct intimity law is ground
Iohh, Kiiys l lie Salem HtuteHinun. It
was iifii her. TiriiiK of democratic
domination of the principal offices
in the Kilt or the people of tho Htate.
the rcpuhlicans convened un advisory
anm-mljiy. At this gathering, which
Ih not prohlhited by the very strlct
eHt Interpretation of the direct pri
mary law, the 1200 delegates from all
HectioiiH of the state disentitled the
pariy'H plight and resolved. If pos
sible, to remedy the situation. To
that end a declaration of principles
was ennnciatcd and candidates
pledged to those principles, were in
dorsed for nomination by the republi
can voters of the state In the direct
primary nominating election.
In no way has the direct primary
law been circumvented by the as
sembly. Neither have the rights of
any individual or group of individu
als, under that law, been abridged
by the action of tho assembly. The
Himie privilege of assembling for pur
poses of conferring Is available to
any other group of voters.
The action of the assembly In rec
ommending candidates for nomina
tion at the hands of the republican
voters of the state was only ad
visory. 10 very candidal e indorsed
by the assembly for nomination must
submit his candidacy before the
voiers of his party in the regular'
uumiuatiug .election on September !
24. J n prosecuting bin candidacy.;
"very assembly raudldate Is obliged1
in every particular to the provisions!
of the direct primary law. These
Include circulating a nominating pe
tition which must be signed by the
legal voters residing In the district
In which he .seeks ollice. This nomi
nating petition Is required to be
filed with the county clerk or the
secretary of state within the time
specified In the direct primary In
exactly the same manner as the
nominating petitions of other candi
dates. In other words, the assembly can
didate is on the same footing as all
other candidates. lie cannot Ig
nore the most Insignificant require
ment of the direct primary law if
he legally qualifies as a candidate.
We are constrained, therefore, to
Inquire wherein Is there anything
wrong with the assembly? What
could ho more fair? Indorsement
by the aspomhly did not carry with It
a nomination to the .office for which
the candidate was recommended. He
must, go before the electors on his
merits, and unless his candidacy re
ceives the approval of the voters, he
Is no longer a candidate. The peo
ple are the final judges. They will
make the nominations. The oper
ation of the direct primary low is not
disturbed. Why then all this pow
wow in the democratic camp against
the assembly?
