COUNTY COURT
A GOOD SUGGESTION
Says the Oregonian:
"The assembly candidates for m c. Grir', TRra'tni'!.'.
tne Legislature want a slogan
How would "against statement
No. 1 an.l for the rule of reason
and reign of law" do?
That's a good suggestion and
we suggest for anti-assembly
candidate "Statement No. 1
and the strict observance of the
direct primary law."
Let the issue be so clear that
all will understand it. The peo
ple lave spoken very emphatic
ally in fuvor of electing United
Stages Senators bv direct vote,
and that is accomplished by
Statement No. 1. Men diifer as
to ni wi.-iom. The great ma
jority of Republican voters have
sa;u they believe in it, but there
is '.ill a large faction of the
opinion that the old method of
election by the legislature is the
better way. They claim that
the new method ha3 given Ore
gon a De mocratic Senator, ignor
ing the tact that this was the
result of a plot by the opponents
of s; jiomont No. 1, who thought
Republican representatives would
not abide- by their pledges. The
attenpt to induce them to re
pudiate their promises to their
constituents was one of the
blackest chapters in Oregon po
litical history, and the men who
took part in it were instrumental
in scturii.g McIIarg to come to
Oregon in &id of their schema,
