V atatement publicly that tha defeat o

Mr. Cake U trant and wrong from
very viewpoint. Devlin' defeat will
mean - the triumph . of the principle
represented by the primary law.
It la srenerelly acknowledged by every
, ene who has ever thought upon the sub-
lecL axceot a few Interested politicians.
that partisanship In munlolpal affaire
Is a mistake. Kva Mr. Dviin state
In hla book, ;' 1 . ; ": "
Back of the party la always tha ma-
, oblne," the boas: back of the . boas, tut
big corporation who have apeclal fav
. era to ask. leagued with tha saloons

It does not make any difference what
the nam of the dominant party Is; It
mar b "Democrat" as In .New Tork
City. It may be "Republican" as In Phil
adelDhla. or it mar be "Union lbor"
as In Ban JTranclsco. Tou always find
the saloons, slum and "the system
supply the corruption funds to "greas
the machine.
Tha prime object of tha direct primary
law. the reason of it existence. Is the
rescue of tha party organisation from
tha machine, and the placing of It in
the hands of tha people. It was to re-
bake the methods - of tha politicians
that Its passage was foroed by popular
sontlmenC -, .- . v'v , '
Devlin's nomination was foroed, not
by the dlreot primary law, but In spite
of the dlreot primary law. Thar was
no popular demand for Devlin. There
Is not tod a. Be was nominated, not
by a spontaneous burst of popular
approval, but as tha result of a srs
tbmatlo campaign, planned . two years
ago by what 1 left of the old "ma
chine, the machine that has kept Dev
lin himself in office at the city hall
for 1 continuous years, during which
time his work has of course been eml-
nentlv satisfactory to the bosses. -
The sentiment for Devlin Is purely a
manufactured sentiment, financed by
interested parties. Saloon, slum and
the -system" lined up for him and con
ducted an organised campaign, begin
nlng months before tha primaries. Other
candidate for the Republican nomina
tion simply went before th people witn
out any organisation.,' , ' .
Devlin's nomination was tnereror a
trlumnh ; or machine method, and hla
success wm mean ine creation m
machine in aplt of the primary law
nasseA ta kill machines.
The same elements mat xorcea mm
nomination of Devlin, two years ago
forced th nomination of Williams, and
the rank and file of : the Republican
party thtsn rebuked th efforts of th
vicious elements to control at th polls,
a they -will again rebuke them -this
year by defeating Devlin, v. ..
t Had there been no primary law, xne
machine would have forced the nomi
nation of Devlin In the machine-con
trolled convention, for all Portland con
ventions hav been machine-controlled,
and the result at the poll would hav
been th same. ' ,
Triumph in Devlin's Defeat. '
Defeat looms large ahead of Devlin,
simply because, being himself the prod-
act of machine politics, be coma not
break away from it, and took It Into
the primaries with him and has earned
it into his campaign with him. Defeat
comes beeauk of popular resentment
against th Jmasked rule of saloons ana
corporations,
Lan refused the assistance Of Uie
machine element of his own party and
was nominated by tha rank and file to
rebuke attempted dictation by th ma
china. Devlin sought the aid of the
machine, was nominated by the machine
and his defeat will be a rebuke by th
people to attempted machine dictation.
Ha. Mr. Cake, Devlin's aeieat aoes
not mean the failure of the direct prim
ary law. It la simply a triumph of tha
principle of - th primary law and a
warning to politicians that th rank and
file of th Republican party will not
stand for machine dictation any more
than th rank and file of the Demo
cratlo party wilt , READER.

CREAM SELLERS LAUGH JUST .

. The action of a new creamery In
east Portland yesterday In advanolng
the price of cream in the face of
threatened reduction by the old creamer
ies la aald to hav saved tha farmers of
Multnomah and Clackamas counties
11,000,000 for the current year. Th
Interesting situation was due to the en
trance of an aggressive competitor into
local butter manufacturing. ., :
The story' runs that the old cream
ertes had for some time been consider
ing the cutting of the price of cream
purchased from farmers, and had de
cided to put the reduction into effect
th first of June. They had reckoned
without the new; rival that was about
to open for pdslnes in east Portland.
A few days ago th new creamery is
sued a' call to farmers for cream, and
accompanying It made the announce
ment that Instead . of reducing they
were offering an Increase of the price
paid tor cream. , . r
Th action of th new concern knocked
th arrangements of the old cream
eries galley west, and there Is deep mut
taring In butter-making circles at tne
prospect of a war In butter price as
well as the price of cream. .

Bamhlsel, pastor of the First Presby
terian church, the richest and most ex
clusive congregation of th city, has
resigned his position. Sifted to the bot
tom, th reason h gives in a lengthy
letter tendering his resignation. Is tha
seiflsbness or the church membership
and their lack of Interest in soul win
ning. -While the church is free from
debt and its finances In excellent con-dli-on,
Rev. Barnhisel finds a notable
lack of cooperation In his desire to do
missionary; and charitable Work among

' "There are many getierous members
of the congregation,'' he ' says in his
resignation, "and many of the officer
who have been eager champions of the
policy of ; benevolent expansion, and
who have generously offered to support
such. work. But X have found on th
part of some, who ar in a position to
command, an indisposition to support or
encourage anything beyond the . com-'
