Is no provision . made for the election
either of delegates to-the national- con
ventions or of presidential1 electors who
are to be elected by the people In No
vember. The primary law is silent as
to how these officials should be chosen
either for nomination or finally. There
fore the Question that confronted the
committee Was a new and a delicate
one, aa well as Important.
Alter much cuscusaton.- aurma wnicn
tha onlnton of the attorney-general on
the' question waa read, it was decided
by. the members of the. committee that
on)v way to choose delegates to the
national convention would be by means
of a state convention.
On the other hand It waa decided
that the only safe way to select the
S residential electors would, be by the
irect nrlmanr' nomination route. Ac
cordingly S. M. Garland, a delegate from J
l,inn county, proposed to . tne com mi t-
mendatlon of 1 the, committee -that four
presidential electors be put on the .di
rect primary nominating ' ballot ' in
April in the manner prescribed under
the law for the primary nomination
of candidates for ail offices.
Btate Convention In June.
Re further Incoroorated . in his mo
tion that a state convention be called
for June 16, at Portland, at which
time deleaates to the Democratic na
tional convention would be elected. The
number of delegates to be elected at
the convention "was fixed at eight dele
gate at large and. an equal number of
alternates. It was further Incorporated
in the motion that the state convention.
In order to lay all doubta at rest, would
ratify the result of the primary elec
tion by Indorsing the- presidential eleo
tora placed in nomination at that elec
tion. J nis motion was camea witn-
out a dissenting vote. ,
Tnere was mucn discussion over me
choosing of electors and delegatea It
was the consensus or osinion mat a
state convention had full authority to
elect national delegates but the right
in regard to presidential electors waa
uncertain.
It was the ODinioa or several attor
neys present that opponents, could con
test the putting of electors nominated
at the April election on the ballot for
November. It was .argued that the
April nominations were supposed to be
voted on in June, while the. presidential
electors would have to go 'on the No
vember presidential ticket It waa feared
that this discrepancy In' the Jaws would
invalidate a direct primary nomination.

declares, in substance, that opposition
to his nomination for president will
not have to muster one third of the
convention to keep him out of the race;
that If there should develop any appre
ciable opposition among "real Demo

class he would retire in
favor of any good man like Johnson of

Reflection of Work Board Lof Five
Governors Elected
At the annual meeting of the Port
land Commercial club last evening. It
waa stated by President C. W. Hod
eon that the club will be housed in it
new building, at the corner of Fifth
and Oak street, within the next 60
daya. A motion to raise the Initia
tion fee from 825 to 850 when the club
enters its new building waa lost by a
rising vote.. It is believed by many of
the members that the great strength
of the club lies in Ita democratic plan
and low cost of membership.
Governors Are cnosea.
The election of five members to
serve three years on the board of gov
ernors resulted in unanimous accept
ance of the following men, selected by
the nominating committee: T. B; Wil

mons, L. J. Wentworth, T. W. B, Lon
don. The full board will hold ita first
meeting next Monday, and elect offi
cers. It is believed no - new candidate for
president Is being considered, and that
the board will decide to' continue the
present organisation another year. If
President ilodaon will indicate a wll
