G TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXI AN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 19, 1920 HEARTENED BY COX Optimism Thought Likely to Dull Better Judgment. . PRIMARY LAW BIG ISSUE Hepnblleans Declare Next Legis lature Will Meet Sitnatlon and Solve It Satisfactorily. BOISE, Idaho, Sept. IS. (Special.) The Mffgest comet In th democratic political horizon streaked across western ana southern Idaho ttUe, week Governor James M. Cox of Ohio, candidate for president, carried out an Itinerary that took him from "Welser to Pocatello Tuesday and Wednesday. He left In his wake tha firm belief among Idaho democrats that he made converts overnight and grreatly strengthened the causa of democracy In Idaho. The democrats, however, should not permit their optimism to dull their better Judgment. Idaho la a republican state. This la a. presi dential year. If there Is a landslide for either Cox. or Hardinr. the slide will probably carry Idaho with . it. Just now there is nothing to indicate a slide for Cox, at least not In Idaho. Unquestionably the democratic nom inee for president helped to stiffen the fighting qualities of the demo crats and possibly advanced their cause, but they have a fight on their hands In this state which does not make the outcome at all certain for them. Primary l g Issue. The direct primary agitation has again come to the front in Idaho poll tics indicating all candidates will have to confront that issue before the campaign Is over. Petitions to return the primary law In Idaho are being circulated ana mere is gnrai activity In its behalf. Regarding, the primary and the action the republican party will take with reference to it, in the event it Is successful, State Chairman Thomas said: 'The amendment of our present primary law is a matter that will claim the serious attention . of the next legislature. It is conceded that certain defects have been developed that should be corrected. The exteut to which this law should be amended is a question upon which difference of opinion exists. The republican plank pledges the republican party to make such amendments to the present law bub will make it more simple and direct In Its operation and meet the wishes of the people in the matter of direct participation in the making of party nominations. Public Approval Expected. "The republican party will meet the situation fairly and honestly and the republican legislature, realising that the amendment of the primary law is particularly our problem, will solve It so as to meet the approval of the people." Congressman Addison T. Smith has taken a stand in favor of giving to Idaho the Colorado primary system, which provides that all parties shall hold state conventions and make nom inations for congressional and state offices and there shall then be a ref erendum for the people -to select the candidate they desire shall be the nominee of the party. "This method," eaid Congressman Smith, "will pre vent unworthy or disqualified candi dates from having their names placed on the ballot without having the sup port of any responsible persons. I would suggest a measure similar to the Colorado election law. Hepnbltcans Name Officers.

Miller, president, of the Coast Tir Lumber company of Portland, to Tlew the beauties of the famous Columbia highway. The above-named gentlemen, to gether with George E. Miller, vice president of the company and brother of John W left Portland about 5 o'clock one evening, drove to Crown Point, where the observatory Is lo cated, and after enjoying the view from that point, drove on up the highway to Waukeena falls, to Bridal Veil falls, to Multnomah falls, and on to the Cascades. ' That was 4& miles j out from Portland. For the first few miles the visitor will exclaim fre quently about tha wonderful scenery, the rugged mountain peaks, the waterfalls, the Columbia river but as one view passes and another comes Into the range of vision, speech be comes Inadequate and the tribute of silence is accorded the wonderful panorama. Returning to Crown .Point, the party stopped for dinner, and this din ner is . worthy of special mention. Crown Point chalet, the inn located near the observatory building, is owned and operated by Mrs. M. E. Henderson, who started in business there years ago, before there was any highway, and before the street lead ing out from Portland was paved. She started in a modest way, but her excellent meals soon won her a repu tation and her business Increased. The furnishings, as well as the cull nary ability, all harmonise with the splendors of nature and with the hearty appetite engendered by the trip. In fact. It can truthfully be said that no trip, to Portland la complete without seeing Columbia highway, and no view of the highway is com plete without being - followed by a dinner at Mrs. Henderson's. . The editor of the Retail Lumber man and our western manager cer tainly enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. Miller and his brother, and we can as sure them that the memory of that pleasant evening will always be cherished- GRAY: CM PREPARING FAIR GATE WILL OPEX TOMORROW ; GREATEST SHOW IN HISTORV.
