Proposed presidential primary - would alstk make Innocuous the federal machine composed of United States marshals, revenue collectors and other officials, now expected to see to It that the pollUcal wishes of the administra tion are transformed Into good, sub stantial delegates to national conrea- ' tions. -., '' '- The posto floe department, for years without number, has been a pollUcal machine. In the south, especially, post- masters ara expected to sea that dele , gates are brought to the national eon- ventlon favorable ' the candidates of the administration. 2 The main strength today of the Taft campaign for renoml natlon is conceded to be the southern delegates who, It is admitted, will be selected for the greater part by the - southern, federal office holders In Ac cordance with, the wishes or the admin- , " lstraUon. "OtBf SepsnAsd TJTpoa. , ' In northern states, the "federal gang," as It has com to be designated, will be depended on to a large extent to assist tn electing delegates for the renomlnatlonT of v President Taft So ' that the country over, the national dele gates will constitute an Immense army of political workers,' when, they should be devoting themselves to the Official duties of their positions. - It Is conceded that these political ac tivities reduce official efficiency. They tincture the official acta, in many in stances, and interfere with the faithful carrying out of the work, assigned to the off ico holders. V : It is said, too, that many of the offloe holders would. If . they could, refrain from this polltioal work. It la distaste, ful In the extreme to many of them, and they would welcome a system that would relieve them of the necessity. , , JrrimsjT Curt - The presidential primary will, there fore, i largely - cure this admitted evil. It has i the earnest support of the progressives In , both parties, and will be pushed tot enactment during the en suing session'.. It will have an s vowed supporter la Congressman s Burleson of Texas,' who is expected to advocate ft In the Democratic caucus. The friends of Woodrow Wilson will endeavor to . fore Its enactment It Is also expected that Speaker Clark, as practically an avowed candidate for $ president, will Join the movement Among the Republicans. Benators La , Follette, Bourne, Cummins and others will lend their aid. Senator Chamberlain has already sub nutted e proposal mat ue uemocrauo national committee urge all state com mittees to adopt it for the 11 cam paign. He has heard from his proposal, in personal letters .and in newspaper articles and editorials, and finds that the idea has taken strong hold in many states. . Vropoeai will Be Xeard, "l believe," he said, "that the na tional oommlttee wUl listen to the pro posal,' with deep . interest' and have some hopes 'that they will adopt it : It is in line with the, demands of the times, and , will, 'X am sure, operate to the ' clarification of the situation and the i curate ascertainment of what, the people desire in the ma light" The issue, . too, jkIU be pressed homo to the Repunucan national oommlttee, ' through the., movement . . begun by the progressive campaign committee, the La Follette headquarters here, which has officially sent to every state or - ganisatlon, the1 proposal in definite form. It : is - believed by many good politicians' that both national eommit , tees will find it, embarrassing if they refuse to accede, to the, demands for the presidential primary. " &air Wool Sad Dictation. . 1 The claim is -made for the proposed law that it would end the possibility of a president largely dictating his suc cessor. In the 1901 convention, the southern delegates were the bone, and sinew of the Taft support through the preparations mads by the assistance of Kooseveit it M asserted, with show of reason, too, that had it not been for the solid rank presented by these south ern' delegate " offloe holding forces, it might have been Impossible to rally to , Taft the strong .support that eventually went to him. The presidential primary also would pronounce the doom of the machines maintained in the south by many promi nent politicians of Democratic persuasion.- An instance is Texas, where Sena tor Bailey controls the state machine. The existence of a powerful sentiment for Wilson there Is admitted on all sides. , One' of , the closest friends of Senator Bailey, a Fort Worth man, says it is serious question whether Wilson could not carry that state,' If a presiden tial primary were held. Yet, he Said, the Bailey forces hops to defeat the move ment for the holding of such a primary, and mat if it is defeated, Texas would send to the national convention a Har mon delegation. The same is true in other southern states, so that the good, results of the proposed law , would he quite as sub stantial In the south as in the north; QUEEN STOWED SAUSALITOSA MAY Marshfleld, " Or., 'Nov. 81. .

' Yours for Perfect Sanitation, ROYAL BAKERY & CONFECTIONERY, Inc. Manufacturers of Bread and Cakes of SuperiojLQuality. rpHE PUBLIC will readily recognize in the above sincere, straightforward statement, the evidences of a high and A noble purpose which characterizes and underlies the entire course of the Royal Bakery & Confectionery since its existence in Portland. It is not merely to make money, but to build up an institution which shall always be a source of pride to its chosen city and state, and to surpass hot only its competitors, but its ;pwn past efforts, no matter how splendid they may have been. The announcement gives but faint conception'of the beautiful Bakery Lunch the Royal has prepared for the public an establishment destined to ; become recognized as a standard of perfection hitherto unattained. It deserves further description and an itemized statement will not come amiss: ITEMIZED STATEMENT Store Front Bakery Store There are forty 'feet of French plate glass windows, backed by glass shelves and dust-proof cases, to ac commodate and display the superior goods the Royal is to proud of. ' Directly adjoining the display in front is the Store De partment, covering an area of 800 square feet, whence the Royal Bakery products will be retailed. This de partment is worthy of particular attention, in that it will be lighter, airier, roomier and prettier than any other bakery on the Pacific Coast The Ground" Floor Dining-Room comes next, with com fortable seating accommodations for one hundred per sons, and an area of 2400 square feet. It is complete to the minutest detail in its appointments, which include a rest room, with facilities for writing and telephoning. This stairway is a, revelation to criticsl of art. The ap proach from the "ground floor is by a double stair, which is a marvel of exquisite beauty, mounting by easy steps to a commodious landing, and thence to, right and left. This grand stairway is done in white enamel, with deep, 6oft velvet carpets, solid mahogany rails and posts dec orated with specially designed light fixtures, the whole reminding one of the celebrated Louis XIV palace stairs in Paris. Twenty steps up this charming passage way and you are on the Mezzanine Floor. MfiZZanine Floor c Mezzanine Floor requires 4000 square feet and has wvtMiumt a seating capacity for one hundred and fifty persons. This tor Gallpnr ' floor has so much to commend it for its elegance;, dis III (UUiWj tinctiveness and commodious appointments that it 'U hest , described by saying that when you enter it andljook about, you almost imagine yourself in the grand salon of a modern transatlantic lmer. Its massive mirrored pillars and beamed ceilings, merging with the panels of ivory white and the solid mahogany trimmings of the Mf77anmA Flnnr beautifully tinted walls, set off here and there witH mcxauuic l mm t0UChCs of gold, combine to make a color scheme inde- a CtWam scribably rich and satisfying to a cultivated sense of or uauery fitness. Culinary ents Ground-Floor Ditiing Room " Grand Staircase to the Mezzanine Floor Store Rooms Furniture These departments, of course, embody the real essentials of a sanitary bakery, and are the real pride of the Royal. They are located in an adjoining building, entirely sep arate in every way" from the Dining and Store Depart ments heretofore described; They are two in number (two complete and separate kitchens), one being for the exclusive service of the guests on the ground floor, the other for the exclusive service of the guest's on the mez zanine floor. They cover an area of 2000 square feet. A ventilating shaft, fifteen feet in breadth and five feet in width, has been erected, connecting with these kitchens and running to the top of the eight-story building, which will carry off not only every particle of odor from cook ing, but likewise everv bit of heat and steam, so that the temperature of these kitchens will be as even and the air as pure as that in the dining-rooms. There are storerooms a plenty; the ice-cream tubs have their own separate home; likewise the linens, the gro ceries, et cetera all of them, like the two mammoth kitch ens, are in a building apart from the store and dining rooms, thus enabling all goods and raw materials to be received through an entirely separate entrance way and from an entirely different street (fully one block away from.the main entrance)."" The tables, chairs, hat racks, et cetera,; were all specially designed for the Royal, and made to its exclusive order out pf the "best quarter-sawed oak, finished in rich, dark green, so as to perfectly match the verdant antique mar ble basings. : The foregoing conveys but a vague idea W the Royal's crowning achievement in sanitation, utility arid beauty.
