and secures a lower rate of Insurance.
Near the close of a convention at which
the speakers denounced centralization of
power, and advocated placing tho control
of affairs more directly lb the hands of
the people, the Dem6crats of Oregon
adopted a resolution which may tend to
the creation Of a pbfiticdl machine- The
purpose of the resolution Is to save con
fusion In the organization of a conven
tion, and It will undoubtedly have that
effect The requirement that credentials
be submitted to the state central com
znltlee prior to the day of thfc conven
tion will save an Immense amount of
labor and trouble and hasten the work
of organization. But the provision
authorizing the state central committee
to appoint the temporary chairman may
prove unsatisfactory. While the main
purpose Is good, and present party man
agers may not attempt 16 use the new
programme to advance their 6wn Inter
ests, yet the scheme, on the whole, Is
one that could hardly have succeeded In
'a Jtepublican convention, where machine
methods are bv Democrats declared to be
the rule. The plan of convention pro
cedure set forth in the resolution is as
follows:
"First That th6 s"tate central commit
tee shall hame, siioject to SpproVal by
the convention the temporary officers,
upon the "undemanding that such tem
porary officers shall not be made perma
nent. "Second That the state central com
mittee shall be prepared at least one day
before the meeting of the contention to
receive credentials of delegates and that
original or duplicate credential of all
delegates shall be presented o the com
xnltteei from whleh the committee shall
make up a provisional list of the con
vention, reserving all questions of con
tests In representation to the convention,
"Third-That Upon the assembling 5f
the cbhVelitiSri th5 roll shall bg called
according t5 SuEh provisional list find fof
purposed 'of temporary Srganliatlon the
names tlpoh Such roll Shall Constitute the
convention."
As everybody RtiowS, mUcn depends
upon the control Of the temporary organ
ization Of a convention Though It Is pro
vided that all tilings shall be subject to
the approval of the convention, yet if
any tittle and confusion are to be-saved,
the convention fttm abide by the choice
of the stats tfefltral cftmrtilttee for tem
porary oracers. to attempt to set asiue i mlnlstratlon ot grrdrs in uba by the
the officers named by ttte state central tj., b t b , uha lhat the CuBaaj5
committee would precipitate a conflict
more serious than nas ever seen In the
selection of a temporary chairman by the
usual method. The importance of secur
ine control of the temnorarV organization
31es in the fact that the- temporary chair- 1
man appoints all committees. Giving to
the state central committee the power to
name the temporary chairman virtually
carries with It the power-to name the
members of the committees on order of
business, platform, etc. This ceritrallza
tlon of power Is something new In Demo
cratic .policies.
OPENING GUX AT SALE3I.
Club Organize to Talfce Active Part
In Campaign.
The Salem Republican Club is first to
announce a meeting for the purpose of re
organizing for the coming campaign. Sa
lem Republicans can always be depended
upon to begin a campaign early and to
keep up the work until the ballots are
counted. Such men as Claud Gatch,
George F. Rodgers, George P. Ifughes,
F. T. Wrlghtmah, Li. L. Pearce, George
G. Bingham, Lori Gesner, J. N. Smith and
W. H. Odell are always plain Republicans
after the convention has been held. They
are hard fighters In primaries and con
ventions, but still "harder fighters when
the contest gets outside of the family.
The spirit of the alem Republican ClUb
Is likely to be contagious and reports
will now be coming in Of the revival ol
Republican clubs In eVery city and town
in Oregon. Nearly every such organiza
tion Is permitted to sleep curing the in
terval between two campaigns. The clubs
take no part whatever In the contests
between factions of the Republican party,
but Just as soon as the two opposing
tickets have been pamed meetings are
called, new officers afe elected, and the
work of the new campaign begins in ear
nest. The lbyalty of Salem Republicans
could not hae been better attested than
by their early moe in this direction.
HOME FROM MEXICO.
Salens Pkysteian Tellfc or a Long attd
Interesting: Trip. .
by. H. U. Ollnger, of Salem, Vras In
Portland yesterday on his way home from
a three months' Visit to Mexico. Cuba and
Eastern cities. Most of the time he spent
In. Mexico City, wliere he Visited Dr. W.
W. COntrls, formerly of Salem. Dr. Olln
gfer Bays he Is quite well satisfied with
Oregon and has no particular deslro to
go to Mexico to live, though In many re
spects It Is an attractive place.
Mexico City Is about four times xcs large
as Portland. All the business blocks erect
ed In the last few years are of medern
American style and have all the modern
'convenlencre. An American laboring man
has no business In Mexico, for the reason
that he cannot compete with native la
borers: an American professional man has
no Inducement t6 go to that country, be
cause the field Is already well supplied
with Americans. But Dr, Ollnger says
that, hf liberal concessions to outside
-enterprises, many American and British
capitalist ate being encouraged to in
vest their money In manufacturing estab
lishment In Mexico, and the general opin
ion Is that good profits are being real
ized. Among the large enterprises recent
ly established there by American capital
lets Is a steel plant. Manufactories con
ducted upon the plans wnien wake them
successful In America will be still more
successful In Mexico, where the competU
tlon is not et so close. But tot a man
without a conldefable amotiiitof capital,
Mexico "has "nothing to often
br. Ollnger attended a Spanish bufl light
every week he was in Mexico. He didn't
particularly enjoy the bull flgbts. "but
went In hopea of seeing a Spaniard kitted.
The fights wcf ery exciting", because
of the danger involved, but In the fights
D Onnger witnessed no men were In
jured. 'Seeing horses gored by the bulls
Is sickening at first to ohfe who is not
accustomed to witnessing the flghta. but i
after one has seen a few horses Kinea
in that way he iibes not mind it.
Dr. Ollnger -ent from Vera CrUz, Mex
ico, to Havana Cuba, anil remained In the
latter place a few days. On every nana
he heard the Cubans comrtieiid the ad
Americans, but he foUhd that the Cubans
almost universalis: regard their benefac
tors with suspicion. Bent upon making
trouble, the Spaniards have persisted In
telling the Cubans that the United States
will keep the Uland as an American de
pendency, ih order to profit by taxes
that may be levied. The Cubans believe
more or'lcs of what is thus repeatedly
told them, and entertain serious doubts as
to the real Intentions of the Government.
Df. Ollnger returned to the United Slates
by steamer from Havana to, New York.
He spent several days In Washington, but
did not have an opportunity to meet
President Roosevelt.

All of this can be avoided,

preserves the-symmetry of hdr form. Mother's Friend overcomes all the

this critical period without pain. It is woman's greatest blessing.
