THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLANJJ, JANUARY 21, 1900.
AIR PLAY ASKED
Republicans Demand a Square
Deal at the Primaries.
REPRESENTATION ON THE BOARDS
JudgcR and Clerics Should Hot Be ilie
Tools of the County Committee,
but Good Men.
The sentiment Is almost universal among
Multnomah counts' republicans that this
3TearJ3 primaries should be conducted T&Ith
the utmost fairness. The judges and clerks
must be republicans of the best class,
and not the personal chums or tools of
members of the county committee; the
different factions must have representa
tion amongr the Judges and clerks; the pri
maries must be conducted In an orderly
manner; every republican rnust have the
right to cast his vote for 'the candidates
of hia choice, and have his vote counted.
In no other tray, argue the republicans
who are demanding fair play, can pri
maries which -will have the full confidence
of the party throughout the county be
held. In no better way than by fair
primaries can the campaign of 1B0O be In
augurated. All republicans agree that a
ticket nominated by a city and county con
vention composed of delegates chosen at
primaries at which every republican Is
given a full and fair chance, "will be so
strong that it will sweep everything be
fore it.
In olection years, the county committee,
upon the approach of the primaries, meets
and selects the judges and clerks for
each precinct. Invar ably these officers
are the friends of the county committee
or of Its individual members, and as a
general rule they are selected berause of
their known ability to carry out orders.
Under this sjstem an abuse has arisen
-which has a tendency to keep the party
divided into discordant factions. It also
iceeps muny republicans away from the
primaries. They contend that the county
committee controls the officers, that It has
workers enough at the primaries to elect
the delegates of its own choosing, and
that there is no use of fighting the or
ganization when there is not the slightest
show of success. The present complaint
Is not against the men -who run the pri
maries hy this method, but against the
method itself. It would be useless to
blame one county committee for -what an
other has done before it. In fact, the
way of conducting primaries has heen so
long established that county committees
have come to consider the naming of their
friends for primary officers as a sacred
prerogative.
Republicans are determined to break up
the old sjstem this year and give the
party a new and more satisfactory one.
This decision has been made because of
the present harmonious status of the
party. There is very little discontent
among republicans. All are anxious for
party success at the general election in
June, and at the presidential election in
November. "If -we are expected to stand
by the party in the elections," said a re
publican yesterday, "can -we be charged
with being unreasonable if we ask a little
say in the management? We are just as
much interested in the party's success as
the county committee is, and we certainly
should have the assurance of fair pri
maries." The demand for representation for all
the factions, at least the principal ones,
on the primary boards, proceeds from a
basis which no one will say Is unreason
Able. In the first place, all the factions
we republicans. Take that small body of
men who in the past have called them
selves silver republicans. Nearly all of
them have found that the silver issue was
a craze of the wildest kind, and have
drifted back to the old party, ready and
Anxious to vote the regular ticket Then
there are many others, good men. who
parted from the regular organization for
one cause or another. This year finds
them In the party column, and without a
prefix to their names. They say that they
have always been republicans, and that
they would like to act with the party.
They deem it hardly fair that they should
be told to tep aside and do penance for
J not having always been regular. They
want no offices; they are not seeking to
control the organization. All they ask is
representation on the primary boards, to
the end that fair primaries may be held.
They may not get what they ask, but If
it shall be granted to them, the republican
candidates in this county this year may
rest assured that they will have the sup
port of every republican In Multnomah.
What this strength Is may be judged from
the way in which the party lined up for
McKlnley in 1S96.
Primary troubles In Multnomah county
well nigh destroyed the harmony of the
state conventions of 1E96 and 1S98. In each
of these conventions two sets of delegates
from Multnomah asked for seats. Wrang
ling debates followed in the effort to de
termine who was who in this county.
The convention of 1S95, tired of the wrang
ling and jangling, and fearful of the effect
the trouble would have on the rest of the
state in presidential ear, split the Mult
nomah delegation and bequeathed the dis
cord to the convention of 1898. What
occurred at Astoria nearly two years ago
Is well known. Two sets of delegates from
Multnomah presented credentials. In the
settlement of the matter all of Multno
mah's dirty linen was washed for the edi
fication of a large audience. Men of long
standing In the party openly charged one
another of participating in or supporting
unfair primaries. B-epubllcans from other
sections of the state said that, they could
not believe that such a state of affairs
could exist in Multnomah county, and
would not have believed it If they had not
heard Multnomah republicans tell of it.
Republicans fully believe that the city
and county committee will make such ar
rangements for the forthcoming primaries
as will insure fair play to all, and rep
resentation to those whose republicanism
entitles them to it. They cannot believe
that the county committee will turn a
deaf ear to a demand for justice. They
cannot believe the committee will throw
away this splendid opportunity to reunite
the party under one banner by giving all
republicans a show.

: . OUR GREAT SALE !
o
It Would Bring: Trade of Klamath
County to Portland.
H. I. Benson, one of the circuit Judges
of the first judicial district, who is in
Portland from Klamath Falls, says he
and George T. Baldwin, a hardware mer
chant of his town, had quite a time find
ing the road as they drove over to"" Ash
land in their own conveyance. The dis
tance between Klamath Falls and Ash
land is GO miles, and the road-was burled
so deep In mud In many places that they
did not find it at all. If this highway
could be Improved, Judge Benson says,
the trade of Southeastern Oregon would
seek Portland more readily than it does.
At present the people of Klamath and
Lake counties have only one outlet, and
that is by Ager, a point on the Southern
Pacific south of the California line. This
condition favors a commercial relation
ship with San Francisco, though his peo
ple would much rather do their trading
In Portland. A railroad is now being
surveyed from Klamathon to Klamath
Falls, and, should this be built, It would
give Portland an even chance with the
California city in securing the trade. lie
does not look for the completion of this
railroad very soon, however, and there
fore favors an immediate improvement of
the wagon road between Klamath Falls
and Ashland.
