DIRECT PRIMARY NOTES.
. Bobs Tweed said, . "You may
eleot which ever candidates you
please to office, if you will allow
me to select the candidates."
The men r who realy govern
are those in ' the great parties
who can make or break candi
dates for nomination So long
as these" bosses can nominate
I
Company.
their friends for office the gov
ernment will be good for the
bosses, no matter wbo is elected.
When the people .nominate
the candidates as well as -elect
the officers, the government will
be good fpr the people, no matter
who is elected.
' Men have died for the right
io cast the' ballot, and surely the
right to make the ballot is not
lees valuable or sacred iuu the
right to vote it
No man would think of hav
ing delegates or conventions do
his voting at the general election,
and it is quite as important that
he do his own voting at the
nominating electiou. '
There are twenty voting
precincts in Union county. The
law compels one of the judges of
election to personally convey
the returns, poll books and
ballots to the county seat after
all general eleotions, of these 20
precincts only six are oloser to
Union than . to the oity of La
Grande. This means that the
county must pay for 240 miles
more mileage under present
conditions than if La Grande
was the seat of county govern
ment It means a constant
expense to the tax payers to have
the county seat situated to one
side of the county. Yon may
6gure, using as abasia either the
vote cast two years ago for
governor or the 1904 registration
by precincts - and you will
ascertain that only 26 per cent
of the populaiion of the county
is contigous to Union, while 74
per cent reside contigous to La
Grande. This meaoB that if the
county seat was at La Grande 74
per cent' of our people would be
accomodated whereas there are
onls 26 per cent under present
conditions.
Every one who has conversed
with Union people have learned
that they expect Union to be
beateu at the polls. They have
pinned their hope of success on
pievening a vote, and failing
in this, they are in expectation
of defeat.- They paid Mr.
Crawford more than $2,000 last
fall to prevent an election under
the special act for relocating the
county seat, thinking that would
end the matter. But now they
are still in the woods with defeat
staring them in the face. Their
money is gone, but the gloom of
expectant defeat is all around
them, ana growing thicker as
the time for the election
approaches.
We have been told that the
contract price for building the
present oourt house at Union
was $8,000. We may be misin
formed as to this fact, but it is
certain that the building is too
small and that it is not in good
oondition. The people have the
opportunity now to move the
county seat to La Grande where
a court house will be furnished
without cost to the people of the
county, and where they oan go
much more conveniently and at
less expense than they can now
visit the county seat We have
confidence that a very large
majority will vote for the
change. The time has arrived
for returning the oounty seat to
where it was thirty years ago,
The cutting off of the Panhandle
and other things places Union
far from the center of popula
tion, and, as the Union people
admit, La Grande is more
convenient for the vast majority
than Union is.
