It will be the great fruit belt of Oregon, with out doubt. caused the common people to elec ordinances that are causing the un dotuic of all parties. The convention system approaches the nearest to the Ideal of any con dltion in the history of the world. should be remembered that the great government of the Uulted Stales grew out of convention. Imagine an at tenint to do the great work of lot forefathers through the ballot system of today. In any great crises ot Lie past what would have been the result had -he couiulii of the people b. en exuresseJ through the blind system of the rrlmajy of tov'.ay shaping ti:i? dest.ny of the great commonwealth by "mark with a cross." Takeu away the powerful eloquence of those pil lars of state In conjunction with the convention, ponder the result. No, it wouldn't have been the same. Don't think it. In every age of the world the p?ople have required a leader and none the less today. In the or ganizations of the great railroads and corporations of today what would have been the result had stockhold ers taken chances through the pri mary system" for the selection of their leaders? Such is the condition in the state of Oregon today. Through such a system anyone almost might be elect ed governor of state, provided he has the filing fee, since a "prophet hath no honor at home" and all politicians are branded a3 tricksters. Such a thing were impossible through the convention system which is the on ly sane and wise procedure in mat ters of state. The situation in Oregon is most unfortunate and recovery is next-to impossible. With the primary system, 4nit ati v and referendum, recall, statement, etc.. etc., ad ,.t., tho state divided, any ef- fort looking to relief from these ob noxious statutes would be utterly useless. There will, therefore, be no efiort made by the balanced ele ments of the parties to strike these laws from the statutes of the state. On the contrary their duty will be and their loyalty will command them to conserve in every way possible the interests of state from the ravages of the damning Influence of these laws. " That the situation is grave there Is no use denying. It has been rec ognized by the best minds of the country from the first. Ushered in on the threshold of this came the election of Jonathon Bourne, Jr., who could not possibly have secured elec tion to the United States senate through the convention system. He is a pigmy in the senate chamber. His greatest feat was accomplished when he told through Outlook "How to Spend a Billion Dollars," not to mention the election of a United States senator for Oregon. The same law elected a democratic governor.the influence of which gave us a demo cratic senator in congress. We do not name this as a calamity so much as to show how guardians of state have been powerless in the pro.ee tion of public welfare. The yearning of all democratic minds of those who feel the weight of empire on their hands is for the old simple method of ' conventions The safety of the country demands it. The Polk County PouMy Associa tion will hold Its fall meeting at Dal las November 23-26. The association has gone to much more expense this year to make the show be.ter anu bigger than ever before and valuable cash premiums will be given to win ners.
