Guide to All Elections.
The adoption of the direct-primary
law has given Oregon euc.li a compli
cated system of elections that not even
the accomplished politician can carry j
iu his mind all the details of the pro
ceedings leading up to tbo general
election of state, district and county
officers. One of the most dilUoult
things to ascertain and remember is
the dates upon which the various steps
11 the nomination and election of offi
cers must be taken. In fact, tho ordi
nary citizen cannot figure out the dates
if be has the statute before him, for
the language varies aud different meth
ods of computing time must he adopted.
At the request of the Oregonian,
Secretary of State Dunbar and Attor
ney-General Crawford have examined
the election laws and computed the
time within which petitious must be
filed, notices given and other business
conducted in preparation fur the elec-
ion.
It will be seen that the campaign of
l'JOC really begins during the last week
n December of this vear, when initia
tive petitions must be tiled if the pro
moters desire to file pamphlets in sup
port of the proposed measures. The
pamphlets must be brought to the
office of Secretary of State Dunbar by
December 30. If the promoters of
measures do not desire to tile pamphlets
they will have until February 3 to file
petitious. - '
It should also be explained that peti
tions for nominations for district offices.
such as Circuit Judge, District Attor
ney, joint Senator and joint Represen
tative, must be filed in the office of the
Secretary of State, and not iu the offices
of County Clerks, and the dates govern
ing nominations for state offices are
applicable. The following list contains
all the dates of interest to the voter
and the candidate for office :
