O. A. Westgate, chairman of the 're
publican state central committee, has
issued a call to the committee to meet
"April 10 to decide upon a date t for
holding a state convention for the pur-
pose of selecting delegates to the no
tlonal convention, which meets In
Chicago to nominate the presidential
tandard bearer, also to nominate pres
idential electors; also for the purpose
of adopting a platform for the candi
date! to stand upon In the June elec
tion. The first two purposes of the
call are right and proper, but the last
is limply a farce. The Observer be
lieve! In parties and believes In plat
forms, but as things are now being
conducted along political llneg In
Oregon, the Btate conventions of the
parties should precede the primary
election several weeks for the purpose
of adopting a state platform and the
counties should hold thtllr county con-
centlons about the same time, and
adopt a county platform. This will
doubtless be dono the next time,' for
under existing circumstances we have
from 60 to 100 candidates In the state
who have announced thamBelves as re
publicans and are before the repub
lican primaries for the legislature. If
each man thus a candidate would
write a platform there would doubt
lees be as many different platforms us
there are candidate.' ..If the state
convention was called' prior to the
timo of filing nominations, and repre
sentative men of the party from each
oounty would assemble ond adopt a
platform, then when a candidate an
nounced himself as a democrat or a
republican the voters would know ex
actly what the policies of the parties
meant, and what the candidates stood
for. N

"I can't believe that my brother was
robbed and murdered; some Intuition
seems to tell me that he Is still liv
ing," said W, F. Harmon, a Jeweler
of St. Joe, Idaho, who is In Spokane
for the purpose of Investigating the
mysterious disappearance of George B
Harman, the Crescent ranchman, who
was lant seen In Spokane two week?
ago last night, according to the Re
view. "I have no facts upon which to
base such a belief, because, as far ns
I can learn, no clues which would lead
to the solution of the mystery have
been unearthed.
"George had no enemleB, as far a
I know. He never exhibited signs of
mental Irregularity and his home life
has always been pleasant. He was
greatly Interested In the welfare of his
family and never left his wife, even
for a night, without telling her where
he Intended to go. I can't remember
of his ever having been Intoxicated,
and I think he rarely took a drink of
liquor. His habits were regular nnd I
can think of nothing in his past life
which would throw the faintest light
on the case."
A. J. Hassler, a clerk employed by
F. R. Robertson, In whose drug store
on Howard street Harman was lust
seen by friends, rays he could recog
nize the unknown man who accomiia
nled Harmnn when he called at tht
store Sunday evening, March 15, to
get his overcoat.
"The man seemed trying to avoid
me, said Mr. Hnsxlor "ivhnn m-
Harman went to the rear g.f the store
his companion walked part way with
him. He turned his back to m nnri'
then returned to the front of the store.
After securing his overcoat, Mr: Har
man passed out without saying any
thing. He held the door open for his
companion and followed him out to
the sidewalk.
The Elks .of this city and the Elks,
Woodmen of the World nnd the
Knights of Pyyilas of La Grande, of
which Harmnn wus a member, havei
sent descriptions of him all over the
northwest. The Spokane lodge of Elks
also has engaged a detective to work
on the case.
Take the time to examine into the resources of the Grande
Ronde Valley, and you will see that it is to your interest to
locate here.
