Oregon City, -July Although the
Clackamas county assembly held here
yesterday was only narrowly controlled
by the assembly forces, the anti-assembly
Republicans were firmly and neatly
thrown under . the assembly steam
roller and given a sample of old-time
machine methods before the, delegates
finally adjourned, . ; .
By the simple device of falling to
name - any antl-assemoiy 1 men on the
resolutions committee, several sizzling
resolutions upholding the direct pri
mary law and condemning machine pol
itics were smothered In committee and
the risk of defeat on the floor of the
assembly avoided.. y a little clever
pen work In writing the . resolutions,
which were rushed through to adoption,
the assembly was adjourned until July
30, by which -time the assembly leaders
will decide whether or not to test the
temper of the people of Clackamas
county by making nominations for
county offices.
