- Assemblies are somewhat Indefinite
In outline In this county, following the
postponed Republican Central Commit
tee meeting last Saturday night But
a handful of the members were pres
ent, and the weighty question was
left to each precinct . It is proposed
that the precincts which so desire,
name delegates to the state assembly
by conference appointments. This re
moves the matter of appointment
from a single person. . As these dele
gates are named,' by precincts, tbey
will be' endorsed by the central execu
tive committee, and they may then go
to Portland with proper credentials
Secreary J. A. Matott a firm believ
er in the principle of assemblies but
yet, like the others, uncertain how It
will apply, advances the second choice
provision in the assembly movement
He would have all delegates to the
state assembly suggest a first and a
second choice and the men who were
given the greatest number of .first
and second choices, should go before
the primaries with the - endorsement
of the assembly republicans. , "This
would remove," he said today, "all
opportunity for machine connivances
in suggestion of candidate. .
