Tn one way the candidate for pres
ident has an advantage over the can
didate for other office. He can stay
out of the primaries, still be a can
didate, and pay due respect to party
regularity. The candidate for state
office, in Oregon, must go into the
primary or detach himself from
party.
But will the aspirants for presi
dential nomination In 1924 heed the
lesson of 1920? In a state where
the presidential primary flourishes
they may, as hereinbefore remarked
go in or stay out. If they go in they
will not get many votes unless they
spend much money. If they spend
much money they will be subjected
to criticism and suspicion. If they

spend the amounts requisite to make
a showing, they may, thereby, as did
Wood and Lowdcn, defeat their own
aims.

will consider that a campaign cannot
be made with one circular and one

the republican but by the democratic
party, the attitude of which was
expressed in President Wilson's
telegram congratulating Governor
Coolidge on his re-election. On that
point the federation will get no sym

socialists, the liberals who talk of
an independent party, and the revo

dictatorship of the proletariat. With
regard to public utilities, the outlaw
railroad strike proved the injury to
the public to be little less grave than
that which would result from a strike
against the government, and public
condemnation was unmistakably se
vere. Though the platform does not
assert a public interest in strikes in
private industries, it might well have
done so, for the coal miners' strike
proved that stoppage of the supply
