Laatz Br- exception of n few Simon leaders, the republicans are satisfied that iuit ehell can do nioro for Oreson and for the Pacific coast than any othor man who could have boon elected at that time. It is said that a very ducidod majority of the republicans of Lane county favor tho election of a succes sor to Simon, who can and will work in harmony with Mitchell.

I Initiative and Referendum, i Mr. U'llen exprosses the belief ! that both the ropubllcan and demo cratic state conventions will endorse the initiative and referendum. Tho republican state convention will be held first. If the republicans should Ikuoio the amendment, then the dem ocrats should indorse it. the latter party would have n decided advan tage Bt the polls. "My experionco with tho republicans," says Mr. U'Hen. "is that they do not overlook anything that will ho of material ad vuntaBO to them in the campaign, and I do not bellow that thoy will let the democrats so into the campaign as the sole advocates of the amendment Tho amendment as proposed In this state has been divested of all the ob jectionable features, and Is certain to meet wtlh popular approval. It does not require that all acts of the legislature shall bo submitted to tho people, but leaves it in the power of the people to subject any act to tho test of popular vote, so that any thing that is obnoxious may ho re jected. The initiative and referen dum amendment proposed in Oregon Is the best that has yet been framed. It can not he called cumbersome or expensive, and yet It furnishes a com plete safeguard against Improper legislation."

Walter Pierce's Opinion. "Furnish will carry Umatilla coun ty two to ou.0 In the primaries," said Walter M. Pierce, tho Umatilla coun ty wheat king and democratic poli tician, who arrived In Portland Satur day. Mr. Piorco Is a democratic par tisan above all else and tho wish may have been father to tho thought Mr. Pierce has been mentioned as good political timber himself In connoc tlon with tho di-moerat nomination for congresuian from this district, bin ho denies the soft Impeachment "Tho Ktatnrnnnt has been printed that tho delegates to tho democratic city and county convention would he selected by precincts. Tills Is Just what will not be done. At the last meeting of tho city and county com mlttoo decided to select thorn by wards instead of precincts for obvious reasons. Thn apportionment has not yet been mudo. While no official announcement has yet boon made to that effect, the democratic state ronvontlon will no douht ho held In Hibernian hall. The secretaries of tho city and coun ty committees are arranging to open up headquarters within a few weeks. No apartments for tho purpose have yot been secured. "Tho democratic nomination for congress will he made by tho state convention, delegates! from the two districts separating and forming two congressional conventions.
