Wrong notions are held by many, both as to politics and relision. Some dear people are shocked because a preacher becomes interested in politics. The science of government the conduct of the state is a worthy field for our best people. Religion is not something for one day but for seven. Christianity is not merely services, it is also service. Christ in the Christian servins mankind. The American citizen occupies a high position, with sacred rights and responsi bilities. In Oreffon we are rich in our Austral ian Ballot Initiative and Referendum and Direct Primary. This evening 1 soeak es pecially of the Primary, the Candidates and the ejection. Under the direct primary the peop! nominate. Tne party boss loses much of his power. The bad! candidate has much less chance. Farming out nominations and paying party debts cannot be carried on as of old. " Of course corrupt politicians will oppose the direct primary, but it is right and wil I win. , The law is new and abuses may occur, but we can trust the people rather than a few self chosen dictators. The candidates are plentiful and wish to see the people. We, the people, count this year. But for the direct primary some ot tne west Uregomans m.gm never have seen this part of the state. Bad men may present themselves as candidates, but the people will keep de manding that only good men go on the tickets. Our candidates must be honor able men. Men who are tricky in busi' ness or whose word is doubted, will not do. They must be clean men. The man who is untrue to his wife will be false to his state. The man who is vile in per sonal life cannot be trusted. , We demand sober men. We can't trust a drunken teacher nor doctor. No more a drunken official. The people ask for men who respect the laws and whose official oath means something. The man who in some minor office or simply as a citizen has stood for disrespect of law whether city or state, is a dangerous man. We can't afford to turn our goveryment over to these anarchists. We should study the records of the men who ask places on the tickets. The selection of candidates is in the hands of the parties. Every man should register. He who does not should be de nied a vote. . The privilege to swear in a vote in June is a weak point. Anybody can find six freeholders to swear if he votes their way. Every good Republican and Democrat should vote next Friday. The primaries over, we, as independent Americans, select the best men on the tickets. If for any office only bad men should be nominated we have the right to nominate by petition and the independent candidate will be a factor in the problem. In June we vote on several amendments. We should study each. I mention two. First the one granting equal suffrage. Because we wish to be fair we will vote "yes." We will not force woman to vote, but we will give her the right Second, the liquor dealers' bill to virtually kill local option. Will the people of Oregon go back upon their de cision of two years ago? Nol If they are aroused on the matter they will vote right, but we must be awake to our danger and not allow the work of years to be undone. The rig'it to vote is sacred, it brings grave responsioiuties. Praying men should pray earnestly before voting. All true men should think seriously and vote as in discharge of a solemn duty.
