12 THE MORNING OREGONIAlSr, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1904. NEW LAW Direct Primary Nomina tion League Is Born. PROMINENT MEN PRESENT Propose to Obtain Change in Election Methods. INITIATIVE TO BE INVOKED Bill Will Provide That Candidates for Elective Public Offices Shall Be Named by People Instead of at the Conventions. The Direct Primary Nomination League Vas born yesterday afternoon at the Min ing Exchange, in the Chamber o Com merce building. A dozen or more men who stand for purity in politics answered the call sent out by Messrs. A. L. Mills, George M. Orton, Thomas G. Greene, C. E. S. "Wood, Franklin T. Griffith and W. S. U'Ren, and within a few minutes after the meeting was called to order the birth Df the new organization was effected. After the election of officers. President Mills read the call that had been sent out, and a general discussion began as to whether it would be best to under take all of the reforms advocated, or whether it would be best to center the fight toward obtaining by initiative pe tition at the general election in June a direct primary nomination election law. It was feared by some that If too many things were attempted by the league its result would be fruitless, so all other matters were laid aside to make room lor the work necessary to successfully bring before the voters of Oregon the bill which had been prepared by the mem bers of the league. The bill drawn up by the league covers 49 pages of closely printed matter and a number of the mem bers feared that owing to its great length the time would be too shprt to have its turns and objects fully understood. The purpose of the bill is to bring about B. most radical change in the procedure of nominating all public officers. It pro- goses to invoke the initiative and to place efore the voters of the state a primary nomination law which will do away with nominating conventions and make it possible for candidates for office, from United States Senators down to con stables, to be -nominated directly by the people. The league hopes to bring this about by submitting the proposed law to the people by petition. In undertaking this they are assuming the colossal work of obtaining eight per cent of the qual ifled voters of the state, a thing which they feel sure they can accomplish. As Boon as the necessary signatures are ob tained the petitions, together with a copy of the proposed law, will be filed with the Secretary of State, and in this way the bill will be brought before the voters for approval or rejection. It was feared by some at the meeting that the time was too short in order to ;et the bill before the voters and to have ts purport fully understood. It was also feared that in the haste with which the bill had been drawn that it contained' many crudities that would render It inef fective. Secretary U'Ron explained that the bill bad been submitted to some of the best legal talent In the state, and they had all agreed that the bill proposed by the league, with some minor changes which they had suggested, was the best and most perfect of its kind ever drawn up. Those who had carefully read the bill and had suggested the changes were Judge T. G. McBrlde, of the Fifth District; Judge A. F. Sears. Judge Bellinger, E. C. Bron augh, E. T. Taggart, C. E. Lockwood, Frank Williams, of Ashland, and R. C. Wright. All are able lawyers, and they had expressed themselves In favor of the 1)111. They had suggested some altera tions, and President Mills appointed a committee of five to take up these changes. The committee which President Mills named were Thomas G. Greene, C. E. S. Wood, R. C. Wright and C. E. Lockwood. It. W. Montague was also asked to serve on the committee, but he Informed President Mills that owing to business pressure he would be unable to serve. He, however, expressed a willing ness to aid the committee in their work. On suggestion of Mr. Wood, the dues, "which were $10, wero reduced to $3. and any member who puts In active work on a petition will bo elected a member with out payment of dues. The object of the bill is explained In fletall by the following preamble: Under out form of government political par ties are useful and necessary at the present time. It Is necessary for the public welfare und safety that every practical guarantee shall be provided by law to assure the, people generally as well as the members of the several parties, that political parties shall be fairly, freely and honestly conducted. In appearance as well as In fact. The method of naming candidates for -elective public offices by po litical parties and voluntary political organiza tions Is the best plan yet found for placing befere the people the names of qualified and worthy citizens from whom the electors may choose the officers of our Government. The government of our state by It electors and the government of a political party by its members are rightfully based on the same general principles. Every political party and every voluntary political organization has the eame right to be protected from the Interfer ence of persons who are not Identified with It as Its known and publicly avowed members, that the government of the state has to pro tect Itself from the Interference of persons who are not known and registered as its electors. It is as great a wrong to the people, as well w to members of a political party, for one who is not known to be one of Its members to vote or take any part at any election or other proceedings of such political party, as It Is for one who Is not a Qualified and registered elector to vote at any state election or take any part In the business of the state. Every political party and voluntary political organization Is rightfully entitled to the sole and exclusive use of every word of Its official name. The people of the state and the members of every political party and voluntary political organization are right, xully entitled to know, that every person who offers to take any part in the affairs or busi ness of any political party or voluntary po litical organization In the state Is In good xaith a member of such party. The reason for the law which requires a secret ballot when all the electors choose their officers, equally requires a secret ballot when the members of a party choose their candidates for public of fice. It is as necessary for the preservation of the public welfare and safety that there shall be a free and fair vote and an honest count as well as a secret ballot at primary elections, as It Is that there shall be a free and fair vote and an honest count la addition to the secret ballot at all elections of public officers. All qualified ejectors who wish to serve the people In an elective public office are right fully entitled to equal opportunities under the Jaw. The purpose of this law Is better to secure and to preserve the rights of political parties and voluntary political organizations, and of their members and candidates; and especially of the rights above stated. Whenever the pro--wuioas of this law in operation, prove to be of i doubtful or uncertain meaning, or not eat flclently explicit in directions and details, the general laws of Oregon, and especially the election and registration laws, and the cus toms, practice, usage and forms thereunder. in the same circumstances or under like con ditions, shall be followed in the construction and operation of this law. to the end that the protection of the spirit and intention of said laws and election machinery shall be ex tended so far as possible to all primary elec tions, and especially to all primary nominat ing elections provided for by this law.

Damon Monday morning In Seattle ended, at the age of 77, a long and useful career, first In newspaper work and later in the ministry. He was well known in Port land, having been at one time city editor of The Oregonian. Mr. Damon was born in Waltham, Mass., In 1827. He was educated in his native city and, on arriving at man hood's estate chose the profession of journalism. With the rush of 49 to Cali fornia he came West as the correspondent of a Boston newspaper, Intending even tually to return East, but finding the Coast and its then few people con genial, he remained in San Francisco, co'ng newspaper work until 1S5L With the rush to another gold strike tliat on the Fraser River Mr. Damon came northward", locating at Victoria, B. C, where for a time he engaged m the promotion of mining enterprises. Ihe newspaper field again attracted him, a"d returning to the American side, he established one oi the pioneer papers of Port Townsond. In the Fall of 1863 Mr. Damon became the city editor of The Oregonian, presid ing over a ataff of two reporters, which in those days constituted a force suffi cient for the needs of the dally. Wh.le living In Portland he married Miss Marv Ij. Yontis, tha daughter of a well-known California pioneer, who survives him. Feeling called from newspaper work to the pulpit, Mr. Damon, In 1864, wns licensed to preach by the Congregational Church of Foitst Grove, Or. For five years he preached In Oregon, and then, in 1869, went to Seattle, there founding the Plymouth Congregational Church, cf which he became the first pastor. For two years he served this congregatlosi and then engaged in general missionary work throughout the Puget Sound coun try, preaching, helping the organization ant. sustaining the mission churches tt Port Madison. Port Blakeley, Port Gam ble and Eagle Harbor. In latter years Mr. Damon had . not preached, save at funeral services; to which he was often called, and on par ticular public occasions. Ho was most often called upon, however, to perform the ceremony of marriage. During his resi dence in Seattle and vicinity he united 29S5 couples. Mr. Damon was a zealous Christian,' a man of kindly demeanor, much eloquence and lively wit. He was a Republican In politics and at times, particularly before entering the mlplstry, he took an active part in tho councils and conventions of his party. THIEVES SOB P0ST0FFICE.

EDWARD A. BEALS. District Forecaster. MINER HIT A Gold Miner on the Coffee Question. Many a rugged constitution has broken down by the use of coffee: "I and my son are minors and have been strbng coffee drinkers. I will add I followed mining for SO years. Nearly three years ago my son had palpitation of the heart so bad that after a hard day's work he would be almost unable to get his breath wlien lying down, and I was a victim of constipation, headache and could not sleep soundly. "So I pulled up stakes one day and started to see a doctor and curiously enough an old acquaintance I met on the. way steered me off. We stopped and talked and told each other all the news and I told him about our troubles. He said It was coffee doing the work and that using Postum In place of coffee cured him of almost exactly the ailments I de scribed. "So instead of going to the doctor's I sent for some Postum. although I did not have much faith in it. but to my great joy it turned out all right and after we quit coffee completely we both began to get well, kept It up and are now both of us strong well men, with none of the old troubles. A miner is supposed to be able to stand great hardships, but we could not stand coffee. It was killing us. Anyone following the directions on the package of Postum will have a far better drink than he can get from the best cof fee. "I think every coffee toper should know Postum will cure him of his ailments, besides it is such a refreshing drink." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Coffee hurts nearly all who drink it and soaks some people very hard. There is a sure way out of the trouble by quitting coffee and using Postum. And "there's a reason." Look In each package for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Weliville." A2CTJSEMXNTS. ItARQUAM GRAND THEATER W. T. PANGLE, Resident Manager.
