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.

cussing their fads and characteristics,
and the Impressions they made during

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.

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

making tbe practice of tipping unlaw
