"Resolution of condolence. 6c a line.
' The suggestion as represented in
an Interview of Chas. E. Cochran,
who returned from Portland yester
day, relative to the assembly plan Is
most reasonable and logical. A Ga
thering of the representative Repub
licans of the state to decide upon the
platform and to suggest- notntua
tions for state officers is common
senBe. With such a system no state
platform is promlugated, few men
are sufficiently acquainted' with 'vot
ers of Oregon to make an Intelligent
campaign without Involving a, largo
financial expenditure. '" For state
nominations there . are few objec
tions to be made until such time as
. some political boss becomes domin
ant,, the people, through the primary
may blight his dictation, for the as
sembly plan has to submit its rec
ommendations to the people at the
primaries.
, All will ' admit that In a republl
1 can form of, government, two great
" parties about evenly divided insures
more,., equitable laws and policies
jthan If one party has a majority that
Is apparently Impregnable. This be
ing true that parties are essential
to the welfare of: our govenrment,
without the assembly plan how can
party organizations be perfected and
perpetuated? No posslbllty of form
ing a state platform, no posslbllty
of concerted action. In what way can
a voter align himself to assist In
carrying out any specific policy.
there being no assignment of policy?
Every , man who aspires to office Is
to write his own platform and pro
ceed to make his campaign. Each
and every man for governor ma
have a different platform and will.
A state assembly Is necessary, but
for the present at least let its work
cease after adopting a state plat
form and recommendng candidates
for state officers.
County and district are small po
litical divisions and few men aspire
to office when the great majority of
the voters within these districts dj
not know or cannct become acquaint
ed with.
Following the state assembly, can
tttdates coming .before the people,
asking either the Republican or Dera
ocratlc voters to support them upon
the platform adopted by the leaders
of their respective parties means
something. Without an assembly, ev
erythlng Is chaotic, each candidate
has a platform which he thinks will
carry him through or possibly will
announce himself as a candidate sub
ject to the wishes of the voters of
the party' with .which he aligns hlm
self. and In many cases he could
not write a platform or policy that
75 per cent of the members of his
party, would consent to.

it required to pass the primary law,
that It. did. the work effectually of
dethroning 'thes'e bosses and they hes
Itate to return to what they look up
on as the former methods. It Is not
the old convention system, however.
The old conventions system's actions
were final. The action taken by the
assembly is not, It can simply rec
ommend, and its recommendations
are voted upon by the people. The
assembly may recommend some man
for governor, this does not mean
that other candidates may not as
pire for the nomination, the man rec
ommended . by , the assembly 'is
strengthened by such recommenda
tion but if the voters think the as
sembly nominations are boss dicta
ted they can easily be turned down.
The opposition to the assembly comes
more from fear of what might hap
pen' than from - what would be ex
pected, to take place. ,
Let us stop at the state, however,
and eliminate the assembly plan for
counties and districts.
If we do not the dominant party
will find that it has once more fallen
a victim to tne wishes of the minor
ity party In this state and that when
the votaare . counted many offices
will be filled by Democrats in coun
ties where the normal Republican
majorityjs sufficiently large to carry
the entire ticket through to victory.
