Politician Interested In the problem
.of electing delegates to the next na
Jlpnal conventions 6tj the two great
partie have .taken, more than passing
note of the remarks of Judge T. H.
J Crawford of Union county before the
, Jackson club last Friday night, when
, he advanced the theory that the plan
. allowing . each voter to cast only one
. vote, for . delegate . is unconstitutional,
and suggested a teat case In the courts
to determine the question. :
. , ' . Judge Crawford voiced the sentiment
of a large number of politician of both
. parties- in the -counties outside of Port-
' land. who. fear the limitation of the
- voter to one vote, when 19 delegates
are' to be chosen from the state at
larfre, will deprive the state: outside of
Alultnomah county , of representation.
Tner reel this result would be unfor-
1 tunate,. as the custom in the past has
been' to distribute the honor Of attend
ing , the., national , conventions to all
parts of the state ,' .'v. f",
Out-state; politicians recognise that
i or me moat part ne men or wiaest
political . renown live In Multnomah
county, and here one-third of the voting
, strength, of the state la concentrated.
- They-Xear that-tbia condition will crowd
them out. , ,
'. Instance Zs - Ctte4.-THr --
For Instance, If there are four or five
candidates for ' delegate in eastern Or-?
egon, and the vote fairly well split
among them, all might. fall of election,
since some of the men of state reputa
tion In Portland are also expected to
draw considerable support from their
personal . friends wherever they are
known, : :.-.' .
There Is apparently little support for
Crawford's idea as to the ' unconsti
tutionality of the law among Portland
attorneys. They are generally .of the
opinion that the law will stand any as
sault that can be made upon it. In view
of the specific provision of the propor
tional representation amendment, which
makes it apply to primary as well as
general electlona . . ; -
, Crawford confessed. that he might
himself be a candidate for delegate to
the national Democratic convention, but
said he does not care to run unless he
can hope for support. from Multnomah
county. ' 1 ..'' ' ' '
"If the Democrats of Multnomah
are confined to one vote," he said, "I
cannot expect' any votes down here, for
you will want to vote for rour candi
dates from this part of the state. I
want to see a delegation chosen from
the whole state of .Oregon."
Then he argued:' . ' 1 v - 1
"It is rlgtit that every common, ordi
nary Democrat, shall have a right to
say who he wants for delegate to the
national convention. ?A delegate Is Just
as. much the occupant of an office as
any other orfwff la the etate. f ( v
