Under the provisions of the direct
primary law the first move a candi
date is compelled to make is to file
with the secretary of state, if for a
state or district office, or with the
county clerk if for an office to be
filled in one county, or with the city
recorder if for a city office, a copy of
his petition signed by himself in the
following form:
To (Sec. of state or Co. clerk) and
to the members of the .... party and
the electors of (state, district or coun
ty in the-state of Oregon. '
I, (name) reside at and my
postoffice address is ...... I am a
duly registered member of the ......
party. If I am nominated for the of
fice of. at the 'primary nominat-;
ing election to be held in the (state,
county or district) the 25th day of
April, 1906, I will accept the'nomina
tion and will not withdraw, and if I
am elected I will qualify as such of
ficer. .
If I am nominated and elected 1
will during my . term of office (here
the candidate can use 100 words to
state his platform.)
The foregoing petition for nomina
tion is to be separate from but at
tached to the petition to be signed by
the voters who desire to see the can
didate's ""name on the primary ballot.
A copy of the latter petition is to be
filed with it and the heading must be
in the following form and addressed
to the secretary of state, county clerk
or city recorder, as the case may be:
We, the . undersigned . registered
members of the party) and
qualified electors and residents of....,
....... .precinct, in the county of. .
, state of Oregon, respectful'y
request that you will cause to be print
ed on the official nominating ballot
for the party, at the afore
said primary nominating election, thJ
name of the above signed
as a candidate for the nomination, to
the office of by said. . . .
party.
The man who is a candidate for
eithr house ' of the legislature may
sign one or the other of the following
statements, but should he refuse to
sign either of them that fact' will not
affect the filing of his petition.
"I further state to the people of
Oregon, as well as to the people of my
legislative district, that during my
term of office I will always vote for
that candidate for the United States
senator in congress who has received
the highest number of the people's
votes for that position at the general
election next preceding the election of
a senator in congress, without regard
to my' individual preference."
"During my term of office I shall
consider the vote of the people for
United States senator in congress as
nothing more than a recommendation
which I shall be at liberty, to wholly
disregard.
in whfch the candidate is seeking
nomination that is no other names
will be counted on such.
At the primaries in Oregon this
year there can be only two parties
participating. A party in the, meaning
of the primary law, is an organization
for political purposes, which cast at
the elec.tion of June, 1904, at least
25 per cent of the votes cast for the
office of congressman, hence only Re
publican and Democratic parties ful
fill the definition of the law. Persons
who register under any other affilia
tion. "Independent Democrat," "In
dependent Republican," or any other
title or change, will have no weight
on any petition for nomination at the
primaries and will not be allowed to
vote at such primary elections.
A candidate for a county office must
obtain signers to his petition in at
least one-fifth of the precincts of the
county; if for a state or district office
and the district comprises more than
one county, the necessary signers must
include electors .residing in each of at
least one-eighth of the precincts in
each of at least two counties; if for
a state office to be voted for by the
whole state, the necessary number of
signers shall include electors residing
in each or at least one-tenth of the
precincts jn each of at least seven
counties of the state; if for a congres
sional office, th signers shall include
electors residing an at least one-tenth
of the precincts of at least one-fourth
of the counties of the district.
The number of signers required on
every such petition shall be at least

in
some precincts .and the balance re
quired could be all obtained in one
precinct, if convenient. Now, however,
there is a well defined thought that
it will be necessary . to obtain the
prescribed 2 per cent in every pre
cinct in which the petition is circu
lated. Without a close examination of
the law Attorney General Crawford
was inclined to this view, but will
look into the matter carefully before
giving an official opinion.
There is one suggestion that comes
to mind in opposition to that view and
that is in the limitation which is
placed upon the total number of
names required . While that limita
tion might not make any difference
under the present voting population
of Oregon, it would be likely to with -a
heavy increase of population. If the
theory, of the law is that 2 per cent
in each of the precincts prescribed
shall be required, then why is there
any limitation on the whole number
required? If the 2 per cent must be
obtained in each of the number of
precincts prescribed, the limitation
would appear to be a redundance in
the law.
Until the question 1 is decided by a
legal authority it will "be safest, per
haps, to get the 2 per cent in each
precinct entered,- which is an easy
matter. The 2 per cent applies to the
whole territory represented, conse
quently in the comparatively few pre
cincts required the percentage in
some must be a great deal more.
The total number of votes cast in
this county for the Republican candi
date for congress in 1904 was 3099, so
the total number of signers necessary
for a Republican candidate is 62 and
they must represent at least eight of
the 39 precincts. The total Demo
cratic vote for congressman was 1892
and .the number of signers required
for a candidate of that party for a
county office is 36.
A voter can sign as many petitions
as come to him, even for the same
office.
The petitions for state or district
offices must be filed , with the secre
tary of state not less than 20 days be
fore the primary election, that is not
later than April I this year.
None of these gentlemen appear to
be active, the indications favoring
JudgeRyan's nomination.
In announcing his candidacy, Judge
Ryan has addressed the following let
ter to the Republican voters and the
people of Oregon:
The candidate seeking nomination
under the primary law owes it to his
party to acquaint its members with
his views relative to this acquiescence
in the policies of the party, its choice
or men as nominees, and the manner
m wmch he would conduct the office
for which he is seeking nomination, if
indorsed by the party and elected by
tne people.
"An ' active and consistent Republi
can all my life, I reaffirm my allegi
ance to the principles and policies of
the party, and I will, as I have always
done, use my best efforts in the sup
port of its principles and to secure I
the election of its nominees.
The primary law, enacted by the
people of the state, should in subs
tance and spirit be followed and ac-1
cepted by all, and having faith in the
intelligence and discernment of my !
fellow Republicans and full confidence
in their ability to select wisely and i
well, under this law, the nominees for
the several offices of the state, I shall
cheerfully accept their decision, and
if some other than I should be favored
with the nomination of state treasurer
pledge him my hearty support and
assure him that none will work mnre
earnestly and conscientiously for his
election than I will. If I should be
nominated by my party, and said nom
ination be indorsed by the people, I
promise to conduct the office of the
treasurer of the state of Oregon in
strict conformity with the law, and
dealing squarely and honestly by
every man, perform the duties apper
taining to said office faithfully, econo
mically and in such a manner as will
meet with the approval of every hon
est man and reflect credit upon the
party that honored me with its en
dorsement. -

Schindler is Still Mayor.
A laughable incident occurred in
the circut court room Tuesday after
noon during the examination of wit
nesses in the suit to quiet title of
Hawkins vs. Zimmerman. Mayor Wm.
Schindler, of Milwaukie, was called
by the defense to testify as to the
character of the plaintiff.
. "What is your business? was the
preliminary interrogation of the at
torney for the defendant.
"I am the Mayor of Milwaukie, re
sponded Mr, Schindler.
"O, I thought Mayor Harry Lane, of
Portland, was the Mayor of Milwau
kie," interrupted the attorney and
Judge McBride and the two court
bailiffs were obliged to tolerate the
audible laughter that ensued.

How to Avoid
More fatalities have their origin in or

cause. This fact alone " should make
people more careful as there is no danger
whatever from a cold when it is properly
treated in the beginning. For many
years' Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been recognized as the most pronjpt and
effectual medicine in use for this disease.
It acts on nature's plan, loosens the
cough, relieves the lungs, opens the se

Hon. C. A. Johns, of Baker City,
one of the Republican candidates for
Governor was born in Jackson Coun
ty, Missouri, on June 25, 1857, and
came to Oregon in December of the
following year and has - been here
eter since. He received his early ed
ucation in the public schools at Scio,
Linn County; A. B. degree from Wil
lamette University at Salem in 1878
and the A. M. degree in 1882. He
was admitted to the bar in 1881 and
commenced to practice law at Dallas,
Oregon. He served as county judge
of Polk County by appointment, and
lived there until he moved to Baker
City in 1888, where he has resided
since. He is an attorney by profes
sion and has never held a political
office. Formerly twice mayor of
Baker City and is the present mayor,
having been elected by the largest
majority any one ever received for
that office. He is serving his fourth
consecutive term as School Director
and received every vote cast at the
last election. No other person has
stronger home indorsement,
Mr. Johns has outlined his policies
in a platform, a synopsis of which is
as follows: -
The affairs of state should be con
ducted with a high sense of honor
and on sound business principles and
a broad plane of equality, and to that
end there shoud be a watchful care
and vigilance over every department.
The high and the low, the rich and the
poor should receive the same courte
ous treatment. The laboring man has
the same right to be heard .as the
railway magnate or the millionaire.
The state school fund should be
treated as sacred, and there should
be no juggling with school lands. A
law should be enacted, preventing
speculation in, or the sale or assign- '
ment of school land certificates." The
Land Agent should- not be allowed to
have any .favorites or - speculate "
through the knowledge obtained by
virtue of office. There should be no "
adjuncts to or around this office an4,
it should always be above suspicion.
All kinds of property, - including
franchises, should be required to pay
a just and reasonable tax, and ex- '
press and similar companies should
pay a tax on their gross earnings in.
the state.
A law should provide for a State
Bank Examiner with conservative
plenary power.
The primary law was enacted by a
vote of a large majority of the peo
ple and is entitled to, and should be ,
given a fair trial and should be re
spected both as to its meaning and in-
tent. '
From sentiment and conviction, I
stand with President Roosevelt on the
labor question, and am in thorough
accord with him on the question of
railroad legislation.
I am a firm believer in, and an ar
dent supporter of our public school
system. Favor liberal support to, and
a high standard of education; and
