The direct primary law petitioned for by the initiative, by the people of the state has passed by a very sub stantial majority of the electors of the state, but it is very doubtful whether it will reach the ideal condi tion expected of it by its promoters, The Plaindealer is ever interested in the promotion of good govern ment by whatever honorable or com' mendable means necessary to resort to, and that which brings goverment nearest to the people should receive the sanction ana support ot the peo ple irrespective of political affiliation But it would seem that in this par ticular instance the government of the people will be brought but little nearer the people than it was before. In discussing this new elective measure the Jacksonville Sentinel very aptly says it would seem that the adoption of this direct primary law necessitating the petitioning of the candidate to the countv clerk for a place on the primary ballot is an expensive piece of legislation and very much so to the worthy but poor man who desires to become a candi date. Every man knows who has made a campaign for public office that it is an expensive piece of ex perience, even if elected, and under the direct primarv law the candidate is put to the necessity and expense o: making two expensive campaigns one for the nomination and one for election, not to say anything relative to the additional expense inflicted on the taxpavers in sustaining the cost of the primary law. And besides. how in the state ot uregon is any one not a resident of the great centers of population of the state to ever succeed in becoming a candidate on the state ticKet for any office The candidate for governor if a resi dent of Portland where they havi the large proportion of the votes of the Etate will be the candidate for governor, and the same with every other state office. A man residing in the Valley will have about as litt chance for a place on the state ticket uuder the direct primary law as snowball in July will have for remain ing frozen on an Arizona desert. The law may be good from the stand point of the large centers of popula tion that wish to control the state and county officers or the naming of the ticket, but whoelse is to be benefited? It would seem that no one but a man amply provided with the current coin of the realm will have any chance of becoming a can didate, because the poor man will not be able financially to make the cam paigns necessary to be placed on the ticket, and afterward to conduct the campaign before the electors of the county seat at large. county.

Mr. Gray is a man of upright character and good common sense, and is highly respected in the countv in which he has so long re- ided.

The elections which have taken place since the adoption of the regis tration law in this state have dis closed the necessity for its amend- ment. mere seems to oe out little necessity for the use of a registra tion law as applied to the country districts of the state of Oregon.

St. Louis, July 6 Exactly at noon Chairman J. K. Jones, of the Nation al Committee, called the Democratic convention to order. His appearance on the platform and the sound of his gavel brought fourth a cheer from the floor and galleries. Chairman Jones directed the ser-geant-at-arms to procure order. He continued rapping the table with his gavel, but it was some time before quiet reigneu. Laliiornias appear ance with a huge silk banner and silk American flag and a yell, "California! California!" "Hearst! Hearst! Hearst!" caused cheering. Just as the Call fornia delegation reached its reserva tion aftei marching up and down the center aisle, W. J. Bryan, who had come in unnoticed, arose in his place and was given a cheer. Then an en terprising member of the Montana delegation created a diversion by vig orously ringing a cowbell. Again Chairman Jones demanded that the convention be in order, and at once directed the secretary to read the call for the convention. Applause followed the reading of the call. Af ter quiet was restored, Chairman Jones announced that the convention would be opened with prayer by Rev. John E. Cannon, pastor of the Grand Avenue Baptist Church, of SL Louis.

The vacancy at the head of the Navy Department has been filled by the appointment of Paul Morton, Vice President of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe R. R. Co., and a son of Hon. J. Sterling Morton, who was Secretary of Agri culture in the second Cleveland Cabi net. Mr. Morton is a personal friend of the President. By a provision in the direct pri mary law enacted at the recent elec tion, voters who failed to register prior- to May 15th, will be given an other opportunity to do so, between September 20 and October 20. This will allow them to vote at the presi dential election, without swearing in their vote.

Myrtle Point Enterprise. Seven cash subscriptions were re ceived by the Plaindealee Saturday, including a few cash renewals, and as many ot the tine premium maps were distributed to the holders of subscription receipts. The Plain dealer's star is again rising. Deer seem quite plentiful in South ern Oregon this season, and have quite perceptibly increased in number the past few years, presumably on account of the better observance of the game law which has prevailed. Roseburg is proud of being ad vanced from the third to the second class as a postoffice. Roseburg is growing nicely, says the Portland Journal. About 100,000 crate3 of straw berries, equal to 143 carloads, were shipped from Hood River this season, and lots went to waste or were given away besides.

After announcing the time and places for the various committee meetings, a motion was made by Bourke Cockran that the convention adjourn until 10 o'clock Thursday The motion was adopted and the con vention adjourned.

Williams tempo ran chairman. ! The chairman appointed Colonel i John M. Guftey, of Pennsylvania, and j eifort put forth j M. F. Tarpey, of California, to escort j Mr. Williams to the chair. As the platform was enclosed by a railing, j it was necessary for the committee and Mr. Williams to climb over the railing. The committee lifted Mr. Williams over, and the entire conven tion burst into cheers as he ascended the platform. "I have the honor to introduce to you John S. Williams as temporary chairman," said Chairman Jones, and again the convention cheered. Mr. Williams delivered his address calmly and without gestures. Sever al cries of "Louder, louder," inter rupted Mr. Williams a3 he began, his clear but not powerful voice at first failing to reach all parts of the hall. ; As Mr. Williams proceeded his voice increased in volume and the delegates listened attentively.

Mr. Williams spoke in an ironical tone that caught the fancy of the conven tion, and he was interrupted time and time again by laughter. BRYAN'S NAME WEAKLY CHEERED. He mentioned the name of Mr. Ilryan in discussing tho price of wheat during the first Bryan-McKin-ley campaign. The utterance of tho name called forth a little applause and some cheers. A second later he mentioned the namo again, and tho applause was not repeated. CHEERS FOR CLEVELAND. A mention of tho namo of Grover Cleveland was cheered lustily. A moment later tho first scene of tho session occurred, Mr. Williams de claring that it was blazon effrontery this time. The banners were brou-rht to the front and taken charge of by ! the New York delegations. These! I banners 'were received with hooting and hissing, but at this juncture the Carolina delegations fell in line for Parker and there was a tremendous to stem the Bryan stampede. Then came a rush of standards bearing Parker's name to the speaker's platform, and the chair man endeavored to maintain order. The convention was reconvened at 2:36 o'clock p. m. and report of com mittee on credentials was presented. Bryan then stepped to the platform and began bowing amid wild en thusiasm. Parkers daughter ap peared on the platform at this mo ment and shook hands with Bryan which brought forth a storm of ap plause. The bands played "My Mary land" and the vast audience joined in the chorus. Bryan read the minority report on contested Illinois delega tion. Mr. Bryan spoke in favor of the minoritv report and amid tremendu- ous applause says he hopes the con vention can harmously adopt a plat form that will bo the mouthpiece of a united party. Bryan concluded at 4:40 o'clock his arraignment of the Hopkins faction, in the strongest speech of the convention. No nomina tions can be made today (Thursday.') The chairman at the head of the credentials committee defended the majority report in opposition to Bry an, in an able speech. Bryan called for roll call. Quinn, of Illinois, en deavored to speak in favor of majori ty report, but was interrupted by the galleries, the chairman threatening to clear the galleries. Bryan then responded to those who supported the majority. LOOKS LIKE PARKER. St. Louis, July G. Tho lino of ac tion destined to clinch tho nomina tion for Parker was disclosed by one of the latter's managers today. He said that if there was any doubt of Parker's success his friends, having a majority, could pas3 a resolution re leasing all the delegates from their instructions. That would givo; forty six to fifty-four delegates from Un seat his name. The delegation this mornwg adjourned until 5 in the hope that a telegram maybe received by that time. After the meeting Sen ator Smith said that it was likely that Parker will get New Jerseys twenty four votes. At the meeting of the North Dakota delegation, which pre viously had decided for Parker, a vote showed five for Williams and three for Hearst. Inasmuch as the unit rule prevails tne delegation was in structed to cast its vote for Williams. St. Louis, July 6. Teller, of Col orado, for years a leading silver man in the senate, todav telegraphed Sen ator Thomas expressing his prefer ence for Parker. THE PLATFORM. St. IjOUIS, July 6. Bailey, of Tex as, who declined the chairmanship of the committee on resolutions, favors a platform somewhat in line with that adopted by the Maryland conven tion. This points out the glaring in equalities and gross injustice of the existing tariff, and promises vigorous and prompt relief, but pledges itself to see that a policy will be carried out in' a conservative spirit, with fair ness to all interests. Bailey says that he believes in his party being per fectly honest, recognizing the fact that ihe operation of government customs houses are a necessity. He expects a long and hot fight in shaping the platform. DRMK SODA AT CURRIER'S fiEW FOUNTAIN ICE CRc AH Fl HE C A ttDIES City Council Melins. Weather Repo't. U. S. WiuTiii-ii Bureau Office.
