KOW TO REGISTER
If you want to register so as to have a
vote at the primary election you will have
to give the name of the political party to
which you belong. A correspondent from
Salem who claims to have given the new
election law in Oregon careful attention
writes as follows: "
Uuite a number of voters who have
registered in this county have given their
party affiliation as 'Independent Republi
can' or 'Independent Democrat.' though
many voters may not be aware of the
fact, this manner of registering the party
affiliation will prevent them participating
in either the Republican or Democratic
direct primaries. One purpose, of the di
rect primary law was to preserve to the
members of a prty the power to control
party nominations. The purpose was to
prevent members of one party from voting
in another party's primary election,1, and
to that end the provision as to registra
tion was made.
At the primary election a man who has
registered as an 'Independent Republi
can cannot claim the riant to vota in
Republican' primaries.
This is the view taken by a high state
official, who also ' expresses a doubt
whether County Clerks have a right to
register a man as an 'Independent Repub
lican,' for the primary law expressly pro
vides that in making up a ticket no can
didate shall use the name 'Republican' or
Democrat with any qualifying term, and
the natural inference would be that such
qualifications are not to be U3ed in any of
the primary election proceedings.
Early last summer a Portland attorney
was convicted of perjury in the United
States Court on a plea of guilty. It
seems that he first forged pretented
articles of co-partnership between him
self and the late Senator Mitchell and
then went before the United States grand
jury, and swore that they were the gen
uine articles of partnership between him
and the senator. The grand jury obtain
ed proof that his testimony was false
and indicted him for perjury, and, finding
that he was caught, he'p eaded guilty in
open court, when arraigned.
A day or two ago something analogous
to the foregoing occurence in the Circuit
Court at Salem. An attorney named
Turner and an Eastern land speculator
were indicted jointly for the forgery of
certain papers in state land matters.
They pleaded not guilty, and the trial be
g?.n. Tne state was a little short in evi
dence, and. after the case had been partly
tried, tie state dismissed the case as to
Attorney Turner and made a witness of
h:m. He s jvj h it he was employed by
the other defendant and paid a stated
price for each paper that he should forge.
and that he forged the paper described
in the indictment for his co-defendant for
a few dollars, and received his price.
The other defendant was convicted, and
will receive a severe sentence for his
crime. It s meet that he should. But
Turntr goes free, and will have opportu
nity I. carry out his criminal inclinat'ons
in the future.
Bui nere arises a question. What will
be done as to the disbarment of Attorneys
Tanr.er and Turner? Are they to be per
m.tted to disgrace the legal fraternity by
biirg altcwed to "practice" law in the
future? Tinner has not been called to
acccunt yet so far as I have heard.
Whe-e is the State Bar Association and
its commit
many frauds now among the members cf
the legal profession. These self-confessed
.felons should be cast out, nd keot
out A felon, whether convicts i or un
convicted, when known, s. uid be
promptly cast out
I remember seeing the name if Tanner
among the speakers at the closing ex-r
cises of one of our'Nbrmil S:hoo!s, last
summer, after his crime was known, and
the word "Hon." was placed before his
name!. The prefix "Dis" shou'd have
been before the word "Hon.,' It is a dis
credit to our cowts to pormit criminals to
practice an honerable profession. They
should be taught that honesty is the best
policy, and that the way of the trans
gressor is indeed hard.
