An'J, It may bo said to those who insist alill that the direct primary system came straight from the hand of iod, and must, therefore, not be tampeied with by mere man, that if they like its results, then that is the class of results they like. Noth ing more to them Is to be said, ex cept to remind them that when they retort by saying that other states are groaning under the same burden that afflicts Orogon, that practieallv all other slates have direct primar ies for the selection of their candi dates and that a state anywhere is an anomaly. To say that a candidate favors a reduction of taxes is a somewhat startling declaration it so fully associates him with all other candi dates. The unanimity of sentiment that finds lodgment in the breasts ef all aspirants looks good to the hopeful voter and if all candidates who have made hoiiesl-to-goodnesn Planuses ior a much desired im piovement arc mccessful at the polls the next legislature will be ioiin.iis.-u in ut least juu representa tives and 7S senators.
