J. Reed. Sen­ ator John Earl and Representative D. M Thompson. A resolution was adopted that no bills be introduced later than February 23. except with the consent of two-thirds of the mem­ bers. Governor's Message Governor Mead's last message was delivered today, and In the course of his address he strongly endorsed the primary law, saying: "The domination of the political machine has ceased In Washington. No longer can a few adroit manipula­ tors dictate party platforms and name candidate* Thia prerogative. which our forefathers intended should be vested in the people only, has been re­ stored to the electorate of this state through the passage of the direct pri­ mary law. The people exercised that prerogative for the first time last summer. They have chosen their representatives for the various admin­ istrative positions and through them the people rule. •'Efforts were made by some of the candidates in the late primary elec­ tion to defeat the purpose of the law and violate its spirit by filing declar­ ations solely for the purpose of aiding or defeating other candidates for the same office. Such an abuse of the law should not be tolerated, but should be made illegal and penalties should be provided for those who do not file their dec' rations In good faith. "Political parties have been iu ex- ■ istence since the foundation of the nation and party primary election laws should no' be continued which 1 tend to bring about the severance of , party ties. i \ party responsible for the char­ acter and efficiency of its candidates and standing tor a concrete princi­ ple or policy is able to contribute to ' the weirare of the state or natloq In a, greater degree than i disorganised muss having no recognized political affiliation or no harmonion ixilltical i relationship. i he existing primary election law should, _______ therefore, be amended in accordance with this pol- 1 icy.” SHOCKS ARE FELT OVER LAR3E AREA FOUR INCHES MORE I diction Is Continuation of Home, Jan. 13. —A slight earth­ Salem, Or., Jan. 12,*1909. the Cold Weather » Editor Guard:—1 have just seen a quake shock early this morning is re­ statement taken from the Eugene pa­ ported throughout Lombardy, Vene- - I pers, and copied from the Medford tia.
