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
