Aa tha time approaobaa (or tha next
state election, w hear m great deal of
discussion at to tba merlta and
demerit of the pre tent direct primary
law. . That tba dlraot prlmaav law is
Imperfect and ooold be Improved by
amendment, tta moat ardent supporters
admit. That it li a failure or baa " ao
far proven a failara they deny. That
tba distinguished and worthy
Kepnblican candidate for mayor of
Portland was defeated at tba recent
election in that city la no mora
avidenoa that tha direct primary law it
a failure tnan it la evidence that the 1
city of Portland is Democratic Every
one knows that local issue canted tha
defeat of tba Bepubllean. candidate.
The (act alto remains that the
whola Republican ticket with tha
exception o( tha mayor waa elected.
True. George H Willlamt might not
have been nominated under the
convention system, but can anyone
doubt that the result would bava been
tha same had be been so nominated.
-. uut numerous
illustration In tba politloal history of
this state, where candidates nominated
nnder the oonvensi'in system bava
been deleated tor office? Recollection
presents to view aa an Illustration the
state aleotion of 1902. . -Then
Mr. Furnish, the standard
bearer of tha Republican party tor
governor, waa nominated in convention
receiving almost three fourths of the
votes in the convention, yet was de
feated in a state that elected Judge
Bean, the Republican candidate for
supreme Judge, by a plurality of
17,140. Disaffection In Republican
rank caused tha defeat of ForoWh for
governor in 1902, and William for
mayor of Poitland in 1905, and tnese
defeats can la no wise be attributed
to either the convention or the direct
primary system cf nominating candi
dates. My tbt enactment of tha dlreot
primary law the political boas, wheaa
principal stock in trade la his ;. an-
scrnpaloasnoes and ability to manip
ulate convention's and defeat the will
of the people, will be relegated to ob
livion
Whether tba dlreot primary law bus
coma to stsy will rest largely with the
action cf the voters of Multnomah
county. If, on account of the large
rota Multnomah county will have in
the Dtimarles for tba nomination of
umuukisi for atat and diatrlot offioe, 1
tha ticket should oe loaded down with
nominees from that county, not only
will tha Republican party be In danger
of defeat at tba polls next Jane, bat
the people will demand the repeal of
tha direct primary law.
