('ALAMITV, HOWLING WINS
An excellent, job of calamity-howling: and
an unusually
light vote contributed deciding factors to the primary, elec
tion yesterday and upset all the republican c impitign dope
by nominali)ig George Joseph for governor. ,, (j ,..1,,,, ,
Playing tlie same kind of game that VViilterlPierce played
eight years .ago, Joseph capitalized the peculiar conditions
that exist this -year-and rode to-victory pilj-the' wave of
discontent of 18 per cent of the state's n'ejji's.tered rejnibli
cans. Sixty-two per cent of the people fiifcr.ij,to vote.
Joseph howled about the power trust. Hjs fjjiponenls talked
quietly of itatc development. Joscpji played 'the ' self
righteous martyr. His opponents had littlii'to distinguish
them from ordinary citizens. Joseph appealed to prejudices.
His opponents appealed to citizenship.
This particular type of campaign was especially effective
in Multnomah county where Joseph piled up a sufficient
lead to command the rest of the state. His most intensive
work was done in Portland where the 10-ccnt street car
fare and the prejudice against power rales created an' ideal
field for a demagogue.
So much for a .primary campaign that went contrary to
the guesses of 'everyone except Walter Picrco and -a 1'ow
other Joseph' supporters. The next interesting subject-f or
speculation is how Joseph's nomination will' effect" the fall
election. Will he hold enough republican voters to be elected?
Will he draV sufficiently from democrats to offset the. cur
tain loss in Republican ranks? Will his nomination arouse
the conservative element of the state enough to bring out a
strong independent candidate to split the fall viite three ways
and make democratic chances stronger?
If Walter Pierce had been a contender fur' the democratic
nomination, he could have been governor again. Even as
nil independent Uns tall he might win, but his support of
Joseph makes such a move unlikely.
. Governor Norblad might upset the Joseph apple-cart if he
ran as an independent. They are bitter enemies and a con
test between them might be sufficient to give the democratic
candidate a victory. Without some such anti-Joseph scheme,
;md without a definite change for the better in an economic
way during the next few months, that individual looks as
much like a winner in November as he looked like a loser
two weeks ago. ...
Always an opportunist, Joseph has made the most of the
present. Willi the aid of a badly split vote, a light vote and
a n(ost indifferent electorate, he stands vindicated before his
followers. Oregon, on the oilier hand, stands indicted for
prejudice, for lethargy.
