that strong pressure has been brought
to bear upon him by the assembly boost

strenuous effort to unseat Bowerman
from his present position as the head
candidate and put the Portland phy

were to be the "harmony" nominee.
Dr. Smith is now an avowed candi

SAYS JI M
Staunch Advocate of Direct
Primary System, but Thinks
:Plan Not Perfect Yet; Talks
'Against Convention Idea". ;
Altogether different from the usual
conception of a western politician
big, musoular, 'jovial, emphatic, broad
shouldered and broad-hatted.' ex -Governor
Joseph W Folk, who was the
guest of a large number of prominent
Portlanders 'at a ; banquet last night,
and who has been the guest', of Oregon
for the week past, is a perfect embodi
ment of the polished, learned - lawyer,
and in appearance , little resembles . the
type of lawyer who would be expected
to wage a fierce war to eradicate cor
ruption from the government of a great
city,, and later on' defy and overthrow i
the corruptlonlsts entrenched at the1
eapltol of one of the greatest, states
In the union., .. ,:-,.
When seen at the Imperial hotel this1
morning. Just before leaving for Co
lumbia Beach, where he delivers an ad
dress this afternoon, Mr.: Folk was will-
ilng to talk on any subject but that of
I the next Democratic nominee ; ror the
nrMlilpnpv. . All nueKtionn leadlnr tin
to that subject he deftly sidestepped,
but It -was plain to be seen that the
plaudits of his countrymen and the
well-nigh universal acclaim that , has
been accorded his great work have not
fallen upon barren soil.-
Governor Folk was especially enthusi
astic over ' what he. spoke of as "Ore
gon's wonderful progress In the science
of government." and deplored the ef
forts that are being made to break down
and nullify the primary laws In force
In this state.., ; . ?','.,;'
Prefers Direct Primaries.
"The primary system Is not 'perfect,
but imperfect as it is, it ; is far pref
erable, to the old convention system,
under which the classes are usually
supreme," said Governor Folk. -
"The . bosses still have some Influ
ence under the primary "plan, but. not
as much as under the convention Idea,
snd Just to that extent the primary plan
U preferable to the convention, system.
