to benefit these classes at the expense of others. The fact thatjcould d n.
the interests of the farmer are fundamentally opposed to those
of organized labor, does not bother the organizers profiting by the
movement.
The farmers complaint is that he does not receive his share
of profits in the distribution from grower to consumer and that!
he is mulcted in purchasing supplies. In other words, the middle-!
man exacts excessive toll on everything the fanner buys or sells,1
which places him at an economic disadvantage to the profit of
the speculators.
To remedy these conditions, it is not necessary to create a
new political party or pay excessive initiation fees to promoters
of socialistic propaganda. A- leaf might profitably be taken from
the efforts of farmers in other states, who have successfully
solved their problems without attempting a political revolution
that would disorganize business and paralyze industry.
Dl!-. t Pll!,. California has shown the agricultural and horticultural
Ivdlllig Ul VllILo producers how to solve their marketing problems through co
operative agencies and tne establishment ot a state bureau ot
markets to supervise and assist in the profitable disposal of
crops and the elimination of the middleman. As a result, the
California grower is assured of a profitable return through control

60 miiiiiripiiiiues in ii'imi. Some of no reason why Oregon growers should not enjoy similar advan
tages and secure the benefits Californians have reaped from an
efficient bureau of markets. No Oregon legislature would fail
to heed such a demand for state co-operation from the farmers.
The farmers of Kansas have solved their buying problems
through co-operative stores, which enable them to profitably
purchase supplies without paying excessive toll to profiteers.
The Grange has the oldest stores, some of which have been in
successful operation for more than 40 years. The Farmers Union
is a comparitively new organization, which includes in its opera
tions, the establishment of elevators, stock and coal yards and
sells insurance to members upon a cooperative basis. Over 400
institutions are profitably operating in Kansas under the Union.
The Union buys the coal for the season ; it takes the wheat
and corn, handles it through the elevators and markets it. Stock
shipments are handled in the same way, the Union buying stock
when farmers need it for farms, and selling it when ready for
market. Insurance is written on growing crops, homes, buildings
and livestock. It is estimated that the members save 20 per cent
in their transactions.
Here are simple, homely, commonsense remedies for the far
mer's economic ills, within the province of each grange to apply.
It is not necessary ta employ an army of political agitators, sup
port a grafting officialdom, resort to discriminating class legis
lation or precipitate a political upheaval to secure them. It is up
i' i' the Oregon farmer to constructively solve his own problems as
iarmers ot other states have done, by applying business methods
instead of chasing destructive political rainbows.

REPUDIATING THE PRIMARY.
Judge Wallace McCamant, who was elected delegate to the
national republican convention declares that he will itmore the
fact that Johnson has carried Oregon and will vote as he sees fit
in the convention.
"I shall vote for Wood in the convention," declares Judge Mc
Camant. "I am under no obligation to support Johnson nor any
other candidate. I became a candidate for delegate by filing a
petition and I did not subscribe to any pledge to abide by the re
sult of the primary election. I can vote as I wish."
Technically Judge McCamant may be a free agent, but mor
ally, he is bound by the primary result. .Of what use is it to hold
a primary if the delegates repudiate the expressed wishes of a
plurality of the party? Why consult the people at all if the
delegate's judgment is superior to that of the rank and file?
In the official, state pamphlet for the primary nominating
convention, appears in the signed statement of Judge McCamant,
the following: "I have avoided committing myself to any candi

THE STORY OF 16 NOMINATIONS
By A. H. VANDENBERG
THIRD CONVENTION
The third Republican National Con
vention met in the midst of Civil War.
And though acrimony, dissensions
and disappointments threatened Lin
coln from all sides, Destiny had plain
sailing when the clans finally gath
ered at Baltimore on June 7, 1864.
Prior thereto the famous "Pomeroy
Circular" had unsuccessfully tried to
rally the party to Chase declaring
Linooln much too willilng to com
promise with the rebellious South.
Later, other insurgents similarly
minded met at Cleveland and, in the
name of IS states, actually nominated
Fremontj who a few weeks later with
drew. A. third anti-Lincoln cabal
engineered from New York, sought to
promote General Grant. But Grant
himself peremptorily refused to coun
tenance such political treason.
So when the official Republican
gathering convened, the atmosphere
and the track were clear. Robert J
Breckenrldge "the Old War Horse of
Kentucky," was temporary chairman,
and Governor Dennison of Ohio was
permanent chairman.
Lincoln was re-nominated on the
first ballot. The result was: Lincoln,
484; Grant, 22 the latter being the
Instructed vote of the Missouri dele
gation. The nomination was prompt
ly made unanimous.
Largely because Lincoln himself
willed otherwise, Vice-Preslderlt Ham
lin was not re-nominated with him.
Instead, the ghsice, upon a single
ballot, fell upon Andrew Johnson of
Tennessee, who had not then disclosed
any of the tendencies which later ren
dered him so obnoxious. .
The resolutions pledged uncompro
mising fidelity to the successful prose-
Under this supposition, the people voted for him. vet he refuses
to support the winning candidate.
After Judge McCamant's name on the ballot is the following
slogan : "For president, an American, a Republican and a States
man." It is evident that the distinguished jurist does not con
sider Johnson either a republican or a statesman.
Lowden spent $11,000 in Oregon his votes cost him over a
dollar apiece, and he got no delegate. Wood must have spent ten
times as much and he wlil have one. and that one in defiance nf
the primary law.
Rippling Rhymes
There's some delight in being old, for one is licensed then to
scold and view things with alarm ; I hang around the marketplace
and let some brine run down my face, and talk of things that
harm. I tear my hair and wring my fins and talk of all existing
sins as though they modern were; and I denounce the thriftless
jays who blow their coin in forty ways, and fill the air with fur.

just as they blow them now; and people mortgaged their abodes
for trotting nags to burn the roads, as greybeards must allow.
The poorhouse reared its front of brick and gathered in the thrift
ess hick, just as it does today; and pauper graves, behind the
kirk, were made for those who wouldn't work, but spent their
hours in play. I know these facts and many more, but when I'm
in the Blue Front store, discussing timely themes, I boost the past
as something bright, a noble structure, fair
the sunlight gleams. I knock the sawdust from the trutn' they ,hiu
wou dn't stand it from a youth, but I am bent and gray; and as I "Tt
lamuic i.ii onu vu, uuiy uiwety sit around ana yawn until I drift
away.
Hawley of Connecticut presided per
manently. General John A. Logan fin
ally presented Grant's name to the
convention in a single sentence, and
promptly the convention gave him its
complete total of 654 votes.
Six roll-calls were necessary, how
ever, to name a vice-president. Benja
min F. Wade of Ohio led on the first
four. Schuyler Colfax of Indiana pass
ed him on the fifth the defleoion
from Wade being led by delegates
from his own state and Colfax was
nominated on the sixth.
The platform renewed the Party's
guarantee of equal male suffrage, re
iterated the pledge to redeem the pub
lic debt, denied the European theorm
of indefeasable allegiance under which
no naturalized American citizen could
ever entirely throw off the yokes of
alien nativity, and bespoke encourage
ment to Immigrant.
Grant's letter of acceptance com
prised but 211 words, completing the
novel record for brevity which Logan
began when he nominated Grant in 55
words.
Fifth Convention.
The fifth republican national con
vention, even more than the fourth,
was fore-ordained in its conclusions.
It assemhbled in Philadelphia June 5,
1872. Morton McMichael of Philadel
phia was temporary chairman; Judge
Settle of North Carolina permanent
chairman.
Grant was again unanimously nom
inated on a single ballot amid scenes
or inspiring enthusiasm. The vice
presidency went to Henry Wilson of
Massachusetts, who defeated Colfax
for re-nomination on a single ballot.
Colfax had once said he would not

Fourth Convention,
The Fourth republican republican
national convention coming on the
heels of Johnson's debacle found re
publicanism "solidly welded together
by the fires through which It had pass
ed. The delegates assembled at Chica
go May 26, 18t!8.
Their mandate was a foregone con
clusion. Indeed, the convention was so
impatient to nominate General Grant
that some of the delegates sought to
precipitate a decision before the con
vention was ready.

history they conspired together to
prevent his rcnomination. On the first
roll-call Wilson had 364 1-2 votes, Col
fax 321 1-2, with 377 necessary to a
choice. Before the announcement,
however,, 22 Virginia delegates swung
to Wilsotj, and 6 Georgians and 9 West
Virginians followed suit.
The platform did more "pointing
with pride" than any of its predeces
sors; discussed civil reform for ths
first time, pledged a protective tariff,
demanded abolition of the postal
franking system, hinted at woman suf

and justice between Capital and Labor.

have always niado yourself so lndlspen
sable to our children. I will venture
to say that poor little Bob will be very
homesick and very glad to see you
when he comes hack after a week or

Another short silence, as though Al

"Of course I am sure he wants him.

"That's splendid of you, Ruth. I will
come over and call for little Bob about
10 In the morning. Don't send any
more than a suitcase with him."
There, that's done." said Alice as
she. hung. up the receiver. "I never talk
to her unless my sympathy goes out to
her and yet my common sense tells me
that she was quite as much -to blame
as Bobby for the unsuccessful out
come oftheir marriage. After the ba
bies came you know how foolishly she
acted. There was nothing for her In
this wide world except those children,
and I am sure that had I been their
father I would have gotten a little bit
tired of the situation myself."
'Then you think," I said, "that she
should have tried to pick up the
threads of her life with Bob again,
after he told he was in love with some
other woman, and tied them together."
"Oh. I don't know what I think."
said Alice a little Impatiently. "Some
times, I am sure that If I had been
Ruth I would have turned my atten

she did not do the wisest thing after
all. Sometimes I have come almost to
the conclusion that a woman gambles

"After all, Alice." I said, "you are
only voicing the old cry that it Is thel
ten trick destiny has played upon me,
that I should wait all these years only"
to love hopelessly the wife of my old

Instinctively I knew that out there
on that moonlight ocean Karl Shepard
away from everyone that he cared for,
was eating his heart out because, as he
felt. Fate had played him this rotten
trick. Over there in John's home town
Elizabeth Moreland was railing against
Fate that the man she thought she
