A modification of tbe present primary system so as to Insure the preservation of the Identity of the two major parties or a re turn to the old convention sys tem was advocated by Justice John L. Rand of tbe supreme court, speaking before the Com merclal club this noon, as the on ly curs for the evils which now beset this state. . "A system which permits class hatred and class prejudice such as characterized Friday's primary election, to overshadow the mer its of ths respective candidates for office does not augur well for the good of the state," Rand de clared. "If the welfare of the state is to be maintained there must be two pollcital parties, one working as a check against the other. If one becomes corrupt or makes a mistake the people can turn to the other for relief. 'If the republican party Is to be held responsible for the ad ministration of tbe affairs of the state then the republican party should be permitted to nominate its candidates for office. But who the the republicans In this state now? Everybody," he. declared Intimating that the contest In the republican ranks had attracted to the ranks of that party the bulk of the voters from all other par ties in Oregon under a system which falls to make provision against such contingencies. "The burden of high taxes up on which most of the gubernator ial contests were based at the outset of the recent primary cam pafgn," Rand declared, "were not blamable to the officials in pow er but to the people themselves who, through the exerclso of their franchise privileges, had vot ed high taxes upon themselves. We have just witnessed the spectacle of an appeal for support by candidates on promises of tax reduction who themselves were equally responsible for the high taxes against which they cry, Rand declared. Theh recall, through the exer cise of which the voters of the state have just removed two pub lic service commissioners from of fice, was also decried by Rand aa Introducing into the political af fairs of Oregon a system which was wrong in theory. The frequency with which the constitution of Oregon has been amended under the initiative and referendum privileges In this stats was also deplored by Jus tice Rand who barkened back to the pioneers who composed the constitutional convention which drafted the original document. 'I am not touching upon these problems at this time In the hope of convincing any one that these things are either right or wrong," he declared. "But I be- eve that It Is high time that the Intelligent people of Oregon were giving serious thought to these things which so affect the welfare of our state. I have too much faith in the Intelligence and the good Judgment of tbe people of Oregon to believe they will permit condi tions such as these to continue for long without correction." At the close of business Satur day night $218, 800 bad been sub. scribed In stock for ths proposed new $2S0,00O hotel t Astoria.

See-sawing back and forth, the lead in the race for "the republican nomination for governor swung between Charles Hall and Governor Ben W.

The latest compilation made this afternoon placed Olcott in the lead with 125 votes after Hall had held the lead on the pre ceding summary. The latest figures were: Hall 42,278; Olcott 42,403. Rivalling the spectacular windup of the campaign which was enlivened by the action of Governor Olcott in de nouncing the Ku Klux Klan" and the endorsement of Hall by the Federated Patriotic Societies, the assembling of the returns has keyed up the state to a high pitch of popular in terest and observers today said the result may not be defin itely determined until the official canvas is made. The sec retary of state makes the official canvass thirty days al ter the election. Twenty counties had been reported complete early this afternoon and of these Hall carried nine and Olcott eleven. Of the sixteen counties from which incomplete returns had been received political observers believed from the trend of the voting that Hall would carry three and Olcott thirteen. This tentative linup gives Hall Clackamas, Columbia, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Josephine, Lane, Multnomah, Crook, Clatsop, Umatilla and Tillamook, while the following are claimed for Olcott: Benton, Deschutes, Hood River, Klamath Linn, Morrow, Sherman, Wasco, Washington, Yamhill, Bak er, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, tfackson, Jefferson, Lake, Lin coln, Malheur, Polk, Union Wallowa, Wheeler. The last three listed for Hall are incomplete as are the last thirteen in the Olcott column. Portland, Ore., May 22. (Special.) With complete re turns from all but 98 precincts in the state compiled into the grand totals in the race for the republican nomination for governor up to 1 :30o.;dock this afternoon, it was apparent that Ben W. Olcott would nose out ahead of Chas. Hall in the "horse race" they have been running for the honors since the polls closed Friday night. Of the 98 precincts yet to be included m the complete re turns only 12 are listed in the Hall columns and Olcott is known to be the favorite in the other 86. The missing Hall precincts include one in Clatsop countv. five in Curry county, four in Lane county, and 2 in Umatilla. Olcott is scheduled to lead the followins number of rre- cincts from nine counties: Baker county 9. Grant 17. Harney 15. Jackson 9. Lake 9. Lincoln 4, Malheuer 20, Union 2 and Wheeler 1. All of the Portland papers are predictintr that Olcott will nose Hall out on the late returns, their predictions estimating his final lead will be around 500 votes. Advices received in Salem today from State Representative "Pat" Gallagher say that Olcott will listed in the foregoing Portland dispatch as incomplete, bv1 from 400 to 450 votes.
