14 THE SUNDAY OKJEGO.MAX, PORTLAND. 3IAY 1, 1910. ASSEMBLY URGED AS BEST METHOD Republican Committee Tells Voters It Means Party Suc cess and Best Men. PRESENT SYSTEM CHAOTIC If Citizens Meet for Recommenda tion. Strong Tickets Are Possible and Direct Primary Law Will Be 1'pheUl. -Emphasizing the salient features of the Assembly plan of nominating Re publican candidates for office, and an swering the objections to it, a full and masterly dtacuspion of the subject. In a lormal statement, was Issued to the Republican voters of Oregon yester day by the State Central Committee. The statement, which Is signed by Chairman George and Secretary Little field, treats the subject thoroughly and with apparent fairness in every phase. It first finds authority for holding as semblies, on the ground that the pri mary law does not contemplate that the convention system of nominating can didates shall be eliminated. Unfortu nately, It is added, this was done and to the loss of the Republican party in Oregon. The original Intended func tions of the primary system are not Impaired in the least by the assembly pian, says the statement. On the other .hand, it Is declared. It is safeguarded and strengthened. Bossism," one of the plaints of the opposition, it is recited, would be an impossibility under the assembly, with the primary as a check. It follows In full: HEADQtlARTKRS OF REPUBLICAN STATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF OREGON. PORTLAND. Or., April CO, 1010. To Republicans in Orogon: We desire to correct any wrong im prepsion created cither through misin formation or design by opponents of i he assembly. Party organization is necessary men must unite if we arc to get results. Our purpose is to strengthen and maintain our party in the interest of good government. Citizens have a right to combine for good purposes, and not a word in our law prohibits it. Every requirement of the direct prl jnary will be strh-tly observed in its letter and in its spirit, in our party as sembly. Reasonable party spirit is essential to practical government the same as :in Lincoln's day when war feeling was supported and inspired by partv spirit. The Union could never have bten sus tained without the Union party and representative party government. In popular choice without a convention, Seward would have beaten Abraham Lincoln in 1860. In Oregon party chaos has prevailed. It is needless to recite causes. It is the old story Abram begat Isaac, Isaac bejat Jacob, and so on. Naturally those who now wish the Republican party to Ti'main disorganized insist that it shall partake more of that which paralyzes it. It is the rule of faction here, the rule of minority, and resulting defeat of the real main purpose of the people. Party Is the effective working tool and organization its handle, and if parties are to enthrone measures, there must he convention assembly to discuss and declare t hem and recommend for offi cial positions. Xo Assembly Means Confusion. If there is to be no party assembly there will be no common political prin i iples out lined and we shall continue to vote, at tlx ndom for men who print personal platforms on ballots more speckled and spotted than the ancient cat tie of Genesis. Our direct primary law declares the necessity and protection of political pHities, and that the law shall he con strued so to operate. It provides for party organization and for committee men with power to make rules and reg ulations for party government. It says '"the naming of candidates by political parties is the best plan yet found," and to such purpose assistance will be afforded by widely assembling Tor recommendations. It never was the intention of the law, nor good practice under it, to work without aid from party assemblies to consider and rec ommend "names of qualified and worthy citizens." Voters have little opportunity for consultation as to fit ness in primary booths, and oftenlt Is too late. It was never the Intention of the direct primary to destroy representative assemblies, but simply to avoid abuses by giving final power into the hand of t he members in the primaries to vote on each nomination ere it is finallv and legally made. Without assembly "there ih titter rejection of all representative system, which is unwise. Abuses in oine of the many conventions held arose through packing and bossing, thus forcing party members.- who were deprived of a final say on nominations, to swallow the ticket at the polls or vote against their party. The w to correct this merely took awav final nominations from conventions, leaving h11 other inherent convention rowers intact. It never undertook to abolish conventions or assemblies. It could not had it tried. The right is constitu tional. See Art. 26 of our Rill of Rights. Portland Kesults Qood. So, recently, the Supreme Court of Nebraska has ruled. Republican assem blies have not been held since thf law Such was a mistake. In the Portland municipal election an assembly was re cently convened under the law with effective result, although our oppo nents affected apprehensions of disaster to the public and to our primary law. No harm can arise under the assem bly and direct primary system, and through it former abuses "in bossism are eliminated. The assembly meets, deliberates and reports back suitable names, and the party members in direct primaries pass upon them. Assemblies will aid the voters. All power is reserved In the people. Retter men will be nominated and the public better served bv offi cers. Assemblies will check evils of self uomination. and serve to bring out bet ter candidates than those who thrust t hem selves forward without ot her than self-invitation. A general assembly is , better judge of qualifications than any. single individual. It is impractica ble to call every man into a general mass meeting or council, but a fair and effective expression can be had i h rough aid of wisely selected repre sentative citizens. Even though parti nans in office may not be so all im portant, yet a partv selected assembly will better secure honesty and ability in public places. This Is our end ih lew. If our recent primary abuses ar nnt remedied, they will prove a menace to the law itself, but assemblies will Btrengthen the direct primary. Conventions. with recommendatory powers, is Governor Hughes' idea. Pres-cnt Practice Perverts Law. Though it is the expressed purpose f our law to preserve all parties, yet through it many seek the demoraliza tion of the majority party. Another purpose is to secure to partv the control of the party; but outsider's register and vote in the majority party where they have no business, and seek to swing the balance of power to some faction, or to engender internal strife, .ending in the party defeat. Even the political "boss" had some jnerlt of trying to bring out a ticket the people would elect; yet, under our practice, a minority intrudes itself to put up a weak ticket to be beaten. All chosen leadership Is rejected in the go as you please. " Such is a perversion of the direct primary law. As Republicans, we have the right that such use be made of the law as will preserve, not destroy, our party. As the law contemplates that we shall be free in our Internal man agement .from Intrusion of outside op ponents; as Republicans we natural ly wish for assemblies where Democrats cannot come In to vote candidates upon us, or to turn the scale to weak Re publicans. Such intruders bent on po litical mischief - intend finally at the polls to vote against the very candi dates they foist uon us. "Without assembly, men now nomi nate themselves to highest positions by meager pluralities, and the appeal for party loyalty to pull them through in another beggarly nlurallty at the polls; but our party does not intentionally se lect them, many feeling unbound final ly to vote for them. It is. however, still the policy of our opoosltion to in sist on mere plurality for Republican nominations and afterwards denounce our candidates as nonrepresentati ve, and thus defeat them at the polls. Un der assem biles none need to be nomi nated unless backed by a clear ma jority of the representatives, and then they must be approved in the primaries, for the people by assemblies give up no political rights, privileges or pow ers. Xulthr 1V111 There Be Any Return to Rejected Methods, or to Political 'Abuses. The direct primary guarantee of inde pendence to each voting member of a party is a permanent part ot our law. Our primary rights were formerly not under law protection. Now they are strictly. Candidates were formerly nominated by convention. Sometimes abuses occurred, election abuses and legislative hold up" abuses afflicted us many of them admittedly partici pated in by leaders now opposing us. who now freely admit "all of this I saw and part of winch I was." If such leaders have now reformed, ai. will in deed rejoice and pray that their reior matlon may be permanent. Candidates can now be nominated only at a direct primary strictly gov erned by law. No party could, if it wished, repeat old convention abuses. The direct primary law -can and will absolutely defeat it, an is the ab surdity of folly for those, now our ene mies, to conjure up the spectral ghosts of their own former political practices in order to inspire terror against an absolutely fair assembly and direct pri mary system now. Neither can the as sembly "be substituted" for the direct primary. No one thinks of so trying. Assemblies are merely ancillary and as sistant to the direct primary. Even a convention cannot now n - mate, and of course an assemblv cannot. How ever, through a representative assem bly, we Republicans can exercise our inherent right to meet, consult and se lect any good ticket we desire to sup port, and can vote for it on compliance with law; and should such ticket 1 e so good and strong that the rank and fiie of Republicans rally to its support, ani nominate it at the direct primaries, and the people elect it and the public be given the best officials thereby, who will be hurt? Where the wish slmpl-- is to beat the Republican party, we can comprehend the opposition, or where it is purely selfish, we can understand it, but con sistency is not apparent in groups of citizens, assembling and denouncing as semblies, nor in circular appeals of a beneficiary of late practices, urging our opposition to "league together" and to "pledge to one another,' in Knifing "any assembly nominee." Can it be right for them to get together, yet wrong for us? Even "Boss Tweed" in all his g) or-- never attempted to crusn out free expression from others. Present Disadvantage of Voters of tiie Primaries. Primary electors should be well in formed concern ing candidates, but un der the practice, unknowns are thrust before us. In Multnomah County, of the 30 to 40 names for House legisla tors on the primary blanket ballot, in the last two primaries, not one-third wore known to voters of general pub lic acquaintance. Even conventions consulted sections. Geography was given some consideration, but now the remote country is left out, and the city centers get the nominations. Select ing among names which self-assurance furnishes is often mere choice between evils. New voters are badly handi capped. Many wish to cast their bal lots intelligently, but. confronted with unknowns, go it blind. Often they vote for the first on the list. Too often it is a mere lottery. Some don't vote at all. The good, bad and indifferent all look alike. Some are perplexed, others puzzled, and the new voter is com pletely at sea without chmrt or com pass : and no one better than a new comer in our growing state could ap preciate names good and true recom mended by an assembly of his own party. Assembly Means Hotter Officials. The sole aim of an assembly will be, to secure good Republicans to fill pub lic offices and prove good public offi cials, so that the interest of all the people be thereby promoted. Each will have to run the gauntlet twice at the primary, and at the general election ; and talk that recommendations will nullify the law discredits the direct primary system itself. There is a large class of the good and qualified who are not incased in self-presumption who will not beg for signatures or votes citizens of some innate modesty and self-dignity, and an assembly that could recommend from such will afford us better officers. Few of that class get onto the ballot, yet there are those so blind to the state's best Interest as to forswear themselves to defeat any man recommended by representative fellow-citizens. who have carefully considered character, qualifications and availability. To what extent will some go! Republicans, do not be misled by those who try to spread dissension in our party. An assembly fairly chosen will help the mass of voters in wise choice, and supplement it indeed, it will give the direct primary vitality and prevent it proving unfortunately a dead failure. We are better friends of the primary law than those who vaunt their friendship for it from the housetops, yet by their practices de stroy its merit. Kinal Word. Some opponents ascribe to us the bad motive, claiming for themselves a mo nopoly of good intent. But it is sim ply the use, and not the abuse, of the true primary principle which good Re publicans desire. A state assembly of 1248 represents- tives has been called more than enough to provide one for each precinct in the state. Large assemblies will be held in the counties. Multnomah will have a coun ty assembly of 8t. All delegates are to be chosen by Republicans, called to gether for such purposes. Attend and select your best delegate. Let us dem onstrate our capacity for self-government. Let the assemblies come direct from the people, by the -people, and for the people. The delegates will have full sway tn recommendation. There can be no "bossism" and there will be no "ring" ticket. None is being put up and no ticket will be framed except by the assembly, to be finally approved by the direct primary. No cnt-and-drled recommendations will be tole rated. Each candidate will have a fir field, and must win or lose on his indi vidual merit. The assemblies will not be under boss .dictation, and there can be no possible objection "to such a full and free assembly of the people. Let an awakened and intelligent public sen timent control. Let us have an assem bly of the very best you can select, and then an open and a fair field for all. Our assembly policy is and shall be a square deal, and in the interest of th e very best government, and with malice toward none but with charitv to all, let each true Republican go forth to help bind up our state and our party wounds. Respectfullv submitted. M. C. GEORGE, Chairman. E. V. LITTI-EFIELD, Secretary. SEASON OPEHTODAY Indications Are for Prosperous Year in Fishing. WARDEN'S BURDEN LIFTED Number Engaged Will He Smaller Than Usual, Owing1 to Diminu tion of Floating Population. Sunday Uw Strict. Not for -0 years, says Master Fish Warden McAllister, has there been such a run of fish in the river as will greet the opening of the season at noon to day. Men versed in the salmon in dustry agree that the prospects are ex cellent for a prosperous year. " It is believed, however, that not as many men will be engaged in the tak ing of the salmon as In past years, the changing element being consider ably smaller than formerly. From 5000 to 10,000 men will participate in all branches of the business, and the gear involved will represent an in vestment of between four and five mil lion dollars. From Astoria to Celilo active preparations have been going on for weeks and e-rery man will be at his post at the moment of the sea son s opening. With the beginning of legalized fish ing a great burden is lifted- from the shoulders of Warden McAllister and his deputies, but there yet remains much, to be done. It will be necessary to watch all points closely to prevent old fish, taken prior to today noon, from being included with the new catch. All fish not absolutely fresh this afternoon will be confiscated just as before the season opened. From noon until 6 o'clock today is the only time in the season when Sun day fishing will be allowed., The law provides that fishing may bogin at noon May 1 and further provides that it must end at 6 o'clock P. M. every Saturday thereafter and not bes-in again until 6 o'clock P. M. on Sunday. In the enforcement of this and the other provisions of the law. Warden McAllister will have two patrol boats constantly on duty in the. river and will keep a third busy checking up the licenses on gear of ail classes. Although overt defiance of the law at Oregon City has ceased, it is be lieved that considerable surreptitious fishing has been going on. Luring the war at that point the Warden found 20 tons of fish that had been taken illegally. Of this amount 12 tons were confiscated direct, Tour tons in brine were confiscated and six tons were al lowed to spoil on the banks of the Wil lamette. This was the product of only eight days of Illegal fishing at that point. Not alone to the commercial fish erman does the opening of the season come with a warm welcome. Fishing with hook and line also opens . and, coming as it does on a holiday, the oc casion will be seized joyfully by an army of anglers who, equipped with rod and reel, will make the pilgrimage to Oregon City and other favored spots. The falls of the Willamette alofie will draw not less than 150 lovers of the Waltonian sport, and if it is what the true fisherman calls a good day, a gen eral exodus of the brotherhood is prob 8000 POINDS OP FISH SEIZED Officers Make Capture of Salmon nt Oregon City. ORECON CTTV, Or., April 30. (Spe cial.) Officers came up from Portland this afternoon and seized S000 pounds of salmon that had been purchased from local .gillnet men by the Port land Fish Company and salted down. The officers took possession and while employes oi the company went to the office of Justice of the Peace Sampson to Seen re a writ of replevin the fish were taken to the. Oregon City Transportation Company's steamer and sent to Portland. Since Master Fish Warden McAllister established a patrol to prevent the ship ping of salmon into Multnomah County to the Portland market, the Portland Fish Company has accepted deliveries here and salted the salmon. The close season ends tomorrow, and this is the last day that a seizure of salmon il legally caught could be made. PACK KISS COMUIM PRICES Half Cent Increase Agreed Ipon by Canners and Storage Men. ASTORIA. Or.. April 30. (special.) As conditions of tide and water are favorable for gillnetting It is expected that considerable genr will he placed in the water tomorrow. Several days must elapse, however, before the size of the run can be determined. The Columbia River salmon packers, including both canners and cold stor a ge men. met this arternoon and fixed the prices to be paid for raw fish dur ing the coming season at 5 y cents a pound for small, or cannery fish, and 7 H cents a pound ror cold storage fish, those weighing 23 pounds each or over. These are the ligres as announced by the Col umbia River Fishermen's Protective Union some weeks ago and are an advance of half a cent a pound over the prices paid last season. No action was taken regarding the selling prices of the canned product. WALLA WALLA GETS ROAD Company lmoriorates Here, With $500,00.0 Capital, to Operate Line.

This has never occurred at Eilers Piano House, and at the present time a splendid assortment of these fine in struments may be found at our retail salesroom at W ashington and Park streets. Scientifically and artistically the Hallet & Davis stands pre-eminently in the front rank of the Na tion's highest-grade pianos. For over seventy years it has occupied its proud position at the very apex of piano fame.. The Hallet & Davis Pianos of today represent the skill, energy, knowledge and unswerving adherence to every hon est detail of three generations of piano-makers; their The House of Highest Quality. name is a synonym for high character and worth. The Hallet & Davis is the recipient of over 139 Highest Medals and Competitive Awards, including a gold medal from the A-Y-P Exposition at Seattle last year; and is used and indorsed by many of the world's greatest musicians and musical institutions. Its perfectly balanced scale, the marvelous clarity and purity of its tone and the remarkable rapidity Df its action have created the position of individuality and supremaoy which it occupies today. The Hallet & Davis costs little more than most pianos; it'us worth many times the difference. Its over 70 years of preferment is surely a safe guide.
