The republican state central com
mittee met at Portland last week
and authorized the newly-elected
chairman. Judge M. C. George, to call
a state assembly to be held In Port
land, Thursday. J uly 21.
Thla assembly will consist of 1248
delegates, apportioned by the com
mittee among the 34 counties of the
state on a basis of one delegate to
every 50 votes or major fraction that
were cast for R. R. Butler for Presi
dential elector In November, 190.
Twenty-seven counties were repre
sented at the meeting, the proceed
ings ot which were marked wttb un-
nterrupted unanimity.
In counties outside of Multnomah,
It was recommended that delegates
to the atate assembly be selected by
county assemblies and that delegates
to the county gatherings be chosen
by majority vote only at mass meet
ings of the voters In the different
precincts, these meetings to be called
by the county central committee.
Saturday, J uly 9, is the date recom
mended for the precinct mass meet
ings, with the date for the county
assemblies fixed for the following
Saturday, July 16.
Proxies will not be allowed in the
state assembly if the recommendation
of the state committee Is adhered
to. On this subject the committee
took no compromise position. It
voted to eliminate from the state
gatherings - all proxies. The com
mittee did recommend, however,
that the vote of absent and duly-
elected delegates In the state gather
ing shall be cast according to the
majority opinion of those present
and acting from the same county.
This method, it Is contended, will
Insure the polling of the full vote ot
every county In the assembly and at
the same time be expressive of the
wishes of the particular locality Interested.
As to Congressional and district
assemblies, the state committee
recommended that assemblies for the
recommendation of Congressional
and district offices be held during the
recess of the state assembly; that the
delegates to the Congressional and
district assemblies be the same
delegates aa shall represent those
districts at the state assembly; that
alt recommendations of the Congres
sional and district assemblies be re
ported back to the state assembly.
Under this plan Crook county is
entitled to IS delegates. Nine hun
dred and twenty votes were cast tor
Butler at the last presidential elec
tion.
The report of the committee on
organization reported In part as
follows:
Whereas, There Is a widespread feeling
or belief amounting practically to a de
mand, among Republicans in all parts of
the state that there should be held a gen
eral meeting ot representative Republicans
duly chosen by a majority ot their constit
uents for nomination at the primary elec
tion to be held ou September 24, 1910; it
being contended that the Republican
party in the State of Oregon can be
brought out of its present unsettled and
disorganised condition only by a gather
ing of this character a meeting of loyal
Republicans where Republican speeches
may be made, Republican policies dis
cussed, a Republican' platform adopted
and a list of candidates known to be in ac
cord with the Republican party and its
teachings recommended to the voters of
that party for nomination at the primary
election, and to aid and assist in the
proper and ligitimate use of the direct
nominations system , and
Whereas, Such a meeting would not of
fend either the letter or the spirit of the
dinct primary law, but would strengthen
the working of that law by recommending
clean, capable Republicans to the voters of
the party j therefore be it
Resolved, By the Republican State Cen
tral Committee of the Stt.te of Oregon,
that the chairman of this committee be di
rected to issue a call for a Republican
assembly to be held in the City of Port
land, Oregon, on Thursday, July 21, 1910,
at 10 o'clock a. m. and that representation
in said assembly be as follows:
One member of said assembly for each SO
votes or major fraction thereof cast for
Hon. K. R. Butler, Presidential Elector at '
the last general Presidential election and a
computation of the number of said mem
bers is as follows: '
Be it further resolved, That we recom
mend to the counties ot the state, except
ing Multnomah, that the members of said
State Assembly to he chosen by county
assembly culled for the purpose of trans
acting such county business pertaining to
the atluirs of the party as may in the
