Feb. 10. 190S. at the poet office at Hood River. Orac-on. under the Act of March J. 1878. Republican Re-Organization At public meetings which were open to all Republicans, delegates were elected in the precincts of Hood River county Saturday to meet in assembly July 16th. rec ommend candidates for county offices and elect delegates to the Republican state assembly. The meetings were representative and the delegates elected to the county assembly are representa tive Republicans not the kind who purposely register as Repub licans and vote the Democratic, Mugwump, Populist or no party ticket. The showing made at the pri mary meetings demonstrates that all real Republicans are ready for a re-organization of the party in the county, and a like showing made in all other counties likewise demonstrates that members of the party in Oregon have gone a long way toward its complete re-organization in all parts of the state. A united stand of Republicans was never more important than in the coming election in Novem ber, when state, congressional and senatorial candidates are to be chosen. The recent session of congress where the state's delegation was divided in poli tics and policy, in which the sen ators from this state were at variance with the administration and unable to secure its needed public benefits and prestige, is a case in point. The time has come to define the standing of a Republican and what he repre sents, and for him either to be with his party or against it. The delegates should look on their selection as a public trust in which the result may play a very important part and make every effort to be present at the county assembly in order that it may be a thoroughly representa tive one. As to the assembly and direct primary the position taken by M C. George, chairman of -he state central Republican committee, defines the position of the party in the state admirably. Mr, George says: "The awemMy movement In In no way h blow nt the direct primary antl cannot le bo construed by any fair minded, unprejudiced and thoughtful person. We believe that the direct primary law In Oregon 1h abutted and It 1h the purpose of the assembly to meet ltn shortcomings so far as practicable. "Mather than to attack the direct primary law, the purpose of the as sembly Is to support and perfect It. The direct primary principle of let ting the voters decide U fully re spected and borne out by the assem bly plan. Our Ideas relative to the law are similar to those advanced by Governor Hughes of New York. He ltelleves In party action In bring ing the list of candidates Ix-fore the direct primary and urges that this list should go on the ballot by virtue of pHrty selection and without going through the process of petitions. Pe tition requirements will not be em bodied In the New York law. "It seetns logical to say that a man who Is endorsed at a public meeting of voters should have prefer ence over a man who has pri vately Indorsed. That Is Governor Hughes' Idea, too. All who believe In the maintenance of organization In the Republican party should par ticipate In the assemblies auJ all candidates should Is: given u fair and square deal. No packing should ls permitted, no bosnlsm, no such abuses as have been admittedly par ticipated In by those who are now opposed to us. "The arguments against the as-semblii-s, where they are honestly presented, are baed largely on ex ceptional cases of abuse. The fact Is overlooked that the great mass of the people are honest and mean well. And there can no longer Is- any mo tive for packing an aasembly. For the assembly doesn't nominate, It recommends. And so the evil charg ed against the system Is conjured up, and the charge Is without merit. &&GirCrCrrCrairirbi&iti-CrCrCrCrtr(rCt Side Lights I On Capital Notables w QILE our national lawmaker are going borne for a well earned rest, another aesslon of congress baring passed 4nto history, Washington Is still dis cussing their fads and characteristics, and the Impressions they made during the session still linger. One of tbe members who made things lively la Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, but vis itors observing tbe extremely dignified manner in which be has participated In senate proceedings have little sus pected that be bad a sense of bnmor, mucb less accused him of being a good LODGI RELATTNQ HIS LATEST. story teller. Sucb la tbe fact, never theless, and it Is probable that tbe sen ator has as big a fund of tales to draw upon as any other man In congress. Incidentally It would be a difficult mat ter to find a member of congress who has kept In sucb close touch with leg islation and yet found time to go out In society nearly every night In tbe week. Senator Lodge Is the type of man who keeps himself occupied each min ute of his waking hours. He Is a great pedestrian, and unless be bas a press ing engagement be usually walks from bis borne In Massachusetts avenue to tbe capltol. His committee assign ments are among the most important In tbe senate, including finance, for eign affairs. Immigration, civil service and retrenchment, engrossed bills, for est reservations and chairman of tbe committee on Philippines. He ranks seventh in point of service In tbe senate and Is regarded as the man who will one day succeed Senator Aldticn as tbe senate leader, provided Butler Ames does not aeroplane Into bis seat in tbe meantime. Probably the richest man In tbe United States senate Is Isaac Stephen son of Wisconsin, and yet of all our congressmen he makes tbe least out ward display of wealth. Take the matter of transportation, for Instance. While other senators would not be seen riding In anything but an elabo rately equipped automobile. Uncle Ike lW a DBrVB UK TO THE CAPITOL. lumps into tbe first vehicle along the curb, no matter what It looks like. This Is not because be is parsimonious. He spends bis money freely, but he does not spend it in lavish display and bas no nse for autos anyway. It Is on bis farm that Senator Stephenson spends his money with a lavish hand. He gets as much pleas ure out of the reports of bis foreman as be does in cutting coupons each month. President Taft bas reason to know the high grade stock owned by Senator Stephenson, for be was recent ly presented with one of the best bred cows in the country in order that the milk served at the White House table might be of the best possible quality. Senator Stephenson bas been In con gress since the Forty-olntb congress. He la now serving bis second term as senator, and before be entered that body be served six years in the house. If there bas been one man in Wash ington more than another with most decided views on tbe propriety of tbe public being called npon to pay toll to the waiters after It bas paid a fancy price to tbe bote! proprietor, tbat man was Representative Arthur Phillips Murphy of Missouri. In fact, Mr. Mur phy's convictions on this subject are so deep seated TEaf he Bas Eeen tryfng for years to get a bill through congress TBI WAJTKBS DO TBI TIPPIHO. making tbe practice of tipping unlaw ful. Members of tbe committeea to which these bills have been referred usually bave a lot of fun witb them, but tbey never get within a thousand miles of being enacted Into law. . Because of bis view on tipping very waiter In Washington bad tbe Indian sign on Mr. Murphy, and they determined to make bis life miserable every time he dined away from borne. Quite frequently a cup of coffee or a plate of hot aoup bas been "accidental ly" tipped down bl neck by ome creless" waiter, but still the tip of the other kind were not forthcoming. Mr. Murphy began life on farm and worked from sunup until sun down. When he had developed suffi ciently to engage in harder work be found employment as a section hand. After working ont on the road ill day Murphy tudled telegraphy at night and finally got a Job as telegraph op erator and Oiled tbat place so well that be wis made tralo dispatcher. GROWERS FELLOWSHIP WILLJEET SATURDAY A meeting of the Apple Growers Fellowship will be held Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock In the Com mercial Club rooms to take action on reducing the assessment of grow ere to the subscription fund from $1 to fifty cents an acre. It Is requested that the meeting be well attended to vote on this questlou. The associi tiou Is ready to secure au expert an 1 will take action as soon as tb' amount of funds It will lie able t secure, can be definitely settled. The matter of making three professors of horticulture at the Oregon Agricul tural College members of the advis ory board will also be discussed. HEAD OF ROGUE RIVER ASSO. VISITS HOOD RIVER I C. W.
