THE PRIMARY ELECTION.
The will of the people has been ex
pressed In Oregon. While the regis
tration was fully 33 1-3 per cent short
of the total voting strength of the
state, and the primary vote was less
than BO per cent of the registration
and while few successful candidates
received much more than hulf of the
registered vote, the fact remulns that
under Oregon's direct nomfnatlng sys
tern the verdict of approximately one
sixth of the voters of the slnte must
stand as the expression of the wholi
people's will and tho successful caiull
dates must be accepted as the people's
candidates.
Whllo tho surprisingly light vote
cast Inst Saturdny makes tho whole
proceeding seem farclciil in the ex
treme, there Is no real ground for
complaint in any quarter. Every voter
in Oregon, save the few who were In
capacitated by sickness or other ex
cusable disability, had an opportunity
to express his wishes and desires ut
the polls, and If he failed to exercise
this privilege, It nitty reasonably be
assumed that he had no particular
choice of candidates. Consequently,
the will of the voters who did express
their preference must be acepted as
tho people's will.
It is hardly necessary to say that
the Observer hopes for the election of
every Republican nominated by the
people Saturday afternoon and that It
will do nil that it can to help bring
about their election. In urging the
election of the Republican ticket, lit
tle spuce will be devoted to eulogy of
office without a platform slipping
around the state for support, fish to
one voter, flesh to another, and fowl
to another? This la the method of se
curing 'office that Is being pursued in
Oregon by both Republicans and
Democrats. It Is a method tjiat Is not
only made possible but Is encouraged
by the new order of things, but the
Observer will never be found admit
ting for an Instant that It Is for the
best Interest of the state.
The assembly took from no voter
any right or privilege that he enjoyed
before it was held. The truth of this
assertion was demonstrated Saturday
afternoon when the voter went to the
polls and exercised every right guar
anted by the constitution to an Amer
ican citizen. If the assembly candidate
was the more acceptable to him, he
voted for the assembly candidate. If
he desired to support a candidate op
posed to the assembly, he found the
name of that candidate on his ballot
also, and all that remained for him to
do was to take his pencil and indl
cate his choice. In other words, he
found that he was still a free Ameri
can citizen, notwithstanding all the
howl that had been raised to the ef
fect that an effort was being made to
enslave him. He found that he was
free to vote as he pleased, and this he
proceeded to do. Now, that the voters
of Oregon have exercised such a priv
ilege, who will say that the ticket
nominated does not represent the peo
ple's will?
The Observer said all along before
the primaries that it was prejudiced in
favor of the assembly candidates, but
It also said that the primary election
would remove that prejudice, and that
whoever was nominated by the Re
publican voters would receive its
cheerful and loyal support. This paper
realizes that there are many good Re
publicans who do not believe in the
assembly, and who are honest in op
posing it. With these men, the Obser
ver has no quarrel. It Is grateful to
know, however, that an overwhelm
ing majority of its Republican friends
and neighbors in Polk County do be
lleve in assembly and that these men
have pursued a course which, has re
suited in the nomination of a clean
and able county ticket without oppo
sltlon and the indorsement of the
state assembly ticket by a two-to-one
majority. No one in Oregon has yet
been heard expressing the least doubt
as to how Old Polk will vote in No
vember.
Nor will the Republican party lose
a single man nominated last Saturday
unless Republicans themselves shall
make it possible for Democrats to win.
Let every Republican bear In mind
that Republicans nominated at the
primary are the regular candidates of
the Republican party; that they were
nominated In a free, clean and open
primary; that representing the choice
of the people, they are entitled to en
thuxlaHtlc and loyal support.
Already, the defeated candidates of
both the assembly and anti-assembly
tickets are lining up as one man for
the election of the winners. It is good
and pleasant to see nil differences laid
aside and winners and losers working
together as men and brothers should
for suc h harmony means the destruc
tion of the only ground upon which
the Democrats have been basing their
hope of winning in the November elec
tion.
