FRIDAY. MAY 13. 1904 THE fflfflï LM STATE LEAGUE SENDS OUT COMPREHENSIVE SYNOPSIS Reasons Why Voters Should Favor the Direct Primary Amendment Lucidly Set Forth in Circular Let ter—Law is Successful in Other States—Voters and Lovers of Good Government Invited to Study it. The Direct Primary Nominating League of Oregon has sent out the foilowing circular letter to every newspaper in the state and to many of the individual voters. It clearly sets forth the objects of the primary law that is to be voted upon in June and should be studied carefully bv those interested the maintenance of good government through the peo pie. The circular is as follows: We ask your vote for the direct primary nominating election law No 302 on the official ballot, for the fol lowiug reasons: It makes the people's votes the only power to nominate candidates for public office, and st destroys the party boss system This is one of the greatest powers in our government, pernaps greater than the right to elect the officers frorr among the candidates after the nomi nation. The men who really * govern are those in the great parties who can make or break candidates for nomi nation. So long as iuese bosses can nominate tneir friends for office the government will be good for the bosses no matter who is elected. When the people nominate the can didates as well as elect the officers the government will be good for th» people, no matter who is elected. Men have died for the right to cast the ballot, and surely the right to make the ballot is not less valuable or sacred than the right to vote it. No man would think of having del egates or conventions do his votint at the general election, and it is quite as important that he do his own vot ing at the nominating election. In the last two years bills have been introduced in 22 legislatures fot primary nominating elections. Thit bill is submitted for the approval or rejectjon of the people because it cannot t# defeated at the ballot bo? by political tricks and trades. If you enact this law you wil choose your party candidates at t nominating election, and no combina tion of bosses will be able to nam< the candidates for your party, mucl less can they make a slate for both parties. This bill is endorsed by many re publican county conventions and bv the democratic state convention. By a political trick of the managers the question was not allowed to come be fore the republican state convention It is net a partisan measure in any sense of the word. Senator Mitchel) Governor Chamberlain and other broad-minded statesmen and politi cians who are strong in an open con teat before the people favor this bill And with them are nearly all the jner who trust the people and believe they are fit and able for self-government. The men who fear the people, and all little politicians who must have r nomination given to them if they ever get one. and all the boodlers and bosses who make money out of poli tics. are against the bill. It is not expensive, for it will cost about 35 cents every two years for each voter, or $35,000 for the state. But the power to make nominations must be worth more than it costs for the politicians do not complain ot the expense. It is not more cumbrous or compli cated than the Australian ballot law and it is drawn on the same princi pies. Nominations will be made by the highest number of votes just as the constitution requires in all elec tions. The best government is possible only by having the best men of all parties for candidates, and the people can trust no one but themselves to choose such candidates. Nominations cannot be bought nor stolen from the people as they have been from con ventions. When the people nominate, every candidate for nomination must stand alone on his own merits, and months before the nominating election his friends will be proclaiming bis char acter. record, ability and ftness for the place. But they will never boas: of his payments to the "primary fund,” nor of the places he has found la his office for cue friends of the "managing committee” at the ex pense of the taxpayers. And he who has not two friends per 100 members of his party who want to sign a pe tition to put his name on the party nominating ballot, is a very poor stick to ask the people to trust him with an office. The Bill Provides That on petition of two per cent of the party vote the county clerk will print the candidate’s name on party nominating ballot. If he re ceives the highest number ot his par ty votes at the nominating election he has his party’s nomination and his name will be printed on the official ballot as its candidate. None but registered members of the party can sign his petition. None but members of a party can vote this ballot at the nominating election, but thiB does not apply to the general election in June for public officers. This enables members of a party to make its nom ¡nations without interference by other parties or mercenary voters Every political party is given the right to the sole and exclusive use of all of its party name. This will prevent candidates for spite as well as fusion. Political parties casting 25 per cent or more of the total vote must nomi- nate all their candidates under this law. It does not apply to city elec tions in towns of less than 2.000 pop ulation. Independent candidates and politi cal parties casting less than 25 per cent of the total vote must continue to nominate as they do now under (he Australian ballot law. which is Sec. 2791 B. & C. Codes. Candidates for nomination for the legislative assembly may pledge the people in their petition that they will, or will not. vote for the people’s choice for United States Senator, re gardless of their personal preference The bill provides for nominations for that office. Senator Mitchell and many others believe this will prevent the nornina tion of any candidate for the legisla ture who does not pledge himself to vote for the people’s choice, and thus result practically in the direct elec tion of our senators in congress. The legislature will simply ratify the peo ple’s choice in much the same way :hat the president is elected. The judges and clerks of the gen- 'ral election act also at the primary nominating election. All the pro ceedings for each party so far as pos dble are the same as at the general election. Each party has its separate .»allot, but the nominating election is at the same time and place for all parties subject to the bill. The vote is by secret ballot, which gives every ■nan an equal opportunity nefore the neople of his party. It does not destroy political parties but provides for their government by heir registered members just as a city is governed by its registered voters. This law does not make any change n the Australian ballot or the meth >d of voting at regular general elec ionc. It provides for opening the •egistration books from September 10th to October 20th before each (residential election. Public officers will more faithfully verve the people because their politi ■al life will depend always upon the teople and no one else. If you enact this law you place the joverning power more directly in the lands of the people, and therefore arrv it a step nearer to the Ameri an ideal of a government of the peo ile. by the people, and for the people PRIVATE IRRIGATION. 3rook County People Petition the Government to Investigate Plana. A petition signed by 3f*0 members if the Co-operative Irrigation Asso ■iation has been presented to the ¡ecretary of the interior, asking that i thorough investigation be made by he reclamation service to determine he irrigation possibilities of Crook ■ounty. The government will not. however >nter this field for the reason that nost of the available tracts for irri ration purposes have been taken ur >y private enterprises under the ?arey act. and the government does tot desire to interfere with the plans if private companies The dis ■atches further state: "The only other water available for irrigation in Crook county is the brooked river, and the summer flow if this stream is now fully utilized As it would be very expensive to livert water of the Deschutes across he Crooked river valley onto the dis ■ant arable lands, the governmem ias decided that .- can do nothing ir Crook county unless private enter prises under the Carey act are ab .n loned. Should this occur the gov ■rnment would not hesitate to begir vork on this scheme.” The private enterprises of this character in Crook county are going thead in a way that does not indi ■ate arv intention to abandon their projects. The new irrigation company, wit! headquarters at Bend, has a capital ration of two and a half millions ind the reclamation work is being uushed vigorously. A number of unall tracts of land lying under the Columbia Southern ditch have al- ready been disposed of. FRUIT INJURED AT TOUCHET. Cherries, Strawberries and Early Ap ples Badly Affected. Fruit in and near Touchet will de well if there is a third of a crop this vear. The frost of the latter enu of April destroyed nearly all the cher ries and strawberries and early ap pies, says the Walla Walla Union The late fruits are not so much harmed, according to reports receiv ed here. The freakish way in which the frost has acted has been a matter of tome discussion. A few miles to the □orth of Touchet there is no damage •eported by the fruitgrowers, and the orchards fulfilling the fair promises made by them at the opening of the season. But not only are different regions treated with seeming dis crimination by "Jack Frost," but on the same tree there is often a branch or two that is not injured, while the remainder of the buds of the tree are completely destroyed. Sometimes, even, on ‘the same cluster of fruit, there may be Been a healthy green fruit surrounded by many al) discol ored by the frost. land referred to is the individual holdings of the members of the wa ter company.

Watches REGISTRATION BOOKS CLOSE MAT 14 Attorney-General Crawford render ed an opinion last Saturday evening, on the question of the closing of the registration books, in which he says that the books must close at mid night on Saturday, May 14, although the law specific May 1 as the last day of registration. The attorney- the law specifies May 15 as the last not being a legal business date, can not be counted as a legal day for reg istration and therefore the books must close at midnight on May 14. Registration is now becoming more regular at the office of the county clerk, and while there are over 1.200 voters in the county yet unregister ed, it is thought the- bulk of these will get their names on the rolls Voters who have not yet registered are invited to remember this opin ion of the attorney general by which the books will be dosed at midnight next Saturday night.
