DELEGATION

The republican county central com

considerable wisdom yesterday when
it met to select delegates to the Port

board of managers which so success
fully manipulated the first Chautau
qua, than to re-elect every member of
with Its corrupt practices was repu-1 that Doard and tn,B waB done Jester-
dinted and a pledee made to stand by
republicanism and for party organi
zation was along lines that do not
destroy the direct primary law nor
permit the juggling of politicians
which caused the downfall of the old
convention system.
The committee covered the ground
and did it well. There Is probably not
a republican in Union county who
would sanction a return of the pack
ed convention, or the "hold-up" leg
islature, nor any of the other fearful
practices that some of the party lead
ers can plainly remember, as well as
the rank and file of the party.
The, committee stands for the direct
primary with such additional organi
sation as recommended by Governor
Hughes, President Taft and Theodore
Roosevelt. Surely no good cltlen
could object to the Hughes method
for it Is absolutely fair and takes
away no right that the people now
enjoy. It does destroy the possibil
ity of rich men only holding office,
or men who are backed by money
with which fight personal campaigns
This, when viewed dispassionately, Is
but right and proper, for In the state
of Oregon, no man's capability for
holding office should be guaged by the
amount of money he can spend upon
a campaign.
It is understood that most of the
delegation named yesterday will at
tend the assembly. They will go
there as citizens and republicans and
no person has a right to impugn thpir
motives nntll something other than
honorable action becomes apparent.
Just how popular the action of the
seen. But whether popular vote oi
not it was an act that was rlirht,
proper, and fair, and has behind It u
principle that will live whether vic
tory or defeat, meets ihe efforts of the
parly for several campaigns to come.

ment are plainly in evidence. La

day afternoon at 4 o'clock, when the
second annual meeting of all stock
holders was held at the Chautauqua
grounds. Every person who held a
season ticket is a member of the as
sociation and entitled to cast a vote.
The board meets tonight td organize

The matter of bills will come up to
night and In this way the board will
be able to strike a balance sheet. A
mere financial deficit will not dis
courage the management by any
means for the moral support given
the initial attempt was so encourag
ing and the experiment has been
found so universally popular that it
would be the height of folly to back
down. When a rising vote was called

It is needless to elaborate more ful
ly on the numbers presented this year.
They were of the very highest type

can be said? Now that the Chautau
