land lawyer. Is a candidate for the
Hcpuhllcan nomination for Congress
In the primary election September 24.
He Is making his campaign on a
platform, the principal plank of
which Is "Oregon Hesources for Ore
gon, People." Lafferty has won a
large following Itecause of the ag
gressive fight he tins made for the
rights of settlers on homesteads and
timber claims In Oregon. He Is a
tighter, and gained much prominence
by Instituting the suits for enforce
ment of the Oregon and California
railroad land grant In Western Ore
gon. He Is supporter of the direct
primary, and on this subject In a re
cent speech In I'ortlaud said:
"I am supporting the direct pri
mary. I oppose the making of as
sembly nominations because It Is a
plalu attempt to usurp the powers
now vested by law In the Individual
voters.
"What Is the use to make assembly
nominations unless It Is Intended
that they shall be ratltled? And If
such Is the purpose, why not be
frank about It, and oenly declare
for going back to the convention
system?
"The assembly people say the pri
mary law may lie used as a 'check'
on their work. To reduce .the pri
mary law to this purpose means Its
death. No man wnnts to run as a
mere 'checker.' He could have no
excuse for doing so unless he could
point out something positively bad
or corrupt about the assembly nom
inee. The purpose of the direct pri
mary Is to give all an equal show, as
Is reel led In the net Itself.
"Those who went Into the as
sembly have Injured their chances of
success. The right to elect olllcers
would Im of little value with the
power to name candidates for elec
tion taken away. The power to
nominate will not be given up by the
people."
