WKDNKSDAY, DHC. t, 1909.
OPPOSED TO THE-ASSEMBLY
The other night at Portland, cer
tain republican politicians met ut n
smoker Riven by the Union Repub
lican Club, the object being to per
fect arrangement: for the holding
of county and state "assemblies" to
suggest candidates for office . Judge
Henry H. McGinn, a longtime re
publican, wan invited to speak, and
he responded in a speech that
bronstht consternation into the
camp of the ossetnbleites. Wc ap
pend extracts train the judge's re
mark: "The direct primary law- came to us a
the remit of tue tnoit corrupt politic
nor state has ever known," miiI the
iuilce. "K there hail ever Ixen an hon
cat election of United Stales senator, or
an uncontrolled convention, or ileceul
politics of any kind uuder the old ays-te,-tbeie.Toull
have been no direct
primary law, no Statement No. 1, no
initiative and referendum. These
things are the result of the protest of the
people against the rotteuncM ol the old
plan and the old politics and the old
leaden of the state. I know this, you
ill know it. 1 know it because I was a
part of it, he it said to tny sltatne. I, as
a young man, went through the school
of the old system and I do not waul to
see any young man of the present day go
through the same experiences that I
went through belorc the pawing of the
old regime and the coming of the new.
For that reason, if for nothing ele, I am
against the assembly and what it means."
"I do not want to see the republican
party in the bands of any self-appointed
saviours. If it is right it will need no
saviours. If it is wrong its saviours wilt
not save it. And I want to know what
you mean by 'republicans' in your talk
about the assembly, or the convention.
If yon
he Can
nons, then I am not a republican and
never will be; 11 you mean the never,
idges, the La Pollettes, the Hughes, the
Rootevelts of the party, then I am a
republican, and no man can read me out
of my party. I stand for the progress of
the party, for its advance, not for its
retrogression."
"It seems to be the belief that the di
rect primary law ha disrupted the re
publican party. The republican pfcrty
has disrupted itself. Von cannot deny
it Let us be honest with ourselves and
each other. In all the history of the
state the voters of the state have only
oner gone out of the state with a demo-
era le tote. In that time there have been
10 governors elected and of five these
officials have been democrats, who have
beaten convention nominated republi
cans. Of this five only one was elected
under the direct primary law.
"Do you want to know the reason why
these defeats were due? Then look ai
the records of the politics of the state.
Look at the records of Portland politic
in 1903, when the Portland club, on
Fifth and Alder, made $30,000 in the
month of December with marked cards,
and when the town was overrun with
the thug and the stiong arm man and
red lights gleamed everywhere,

will be noted by comparison with
the report of September 1, 1909,
that the bauk bast gained nearly
550,000 in deposits, and all other
departments of the bank's business
have increased in a like pleasing
degree. The cash ou hand and
due from banks totals $81,458.82

by the Government. The bank

every legitimate demand of the
community for loans, as can be
fully testified to by many of its
patrons. The First National ol

and its omcers and directors are
conservative bankers and successful
business men.
Dad Roads Delay Malls.
Bend's mails have been one day
late for some time now, and as a
result there is more or less fault
finding with the service. This is
not wholly justified in view of the
heavy condition of the roads on the
Shaniko-Prinevillc division. It re
cently required 32 hours to make
the trip from Sluniko to Princville,
the passengers having to get out
and help build road through Cow
canyon. The new road that Wasco
and Crook county people built there
about a year ago is washed badly
and vrcat damage done to it, ac
cording to reports. It will be re
membered that a subscription paper
was circulated last spring amoug
the merchants of this section and
money raised to improve the Cow
canyon road, the county not having
authority to expend money for that
purpose inasmuch as the road does
not lie within the county. Wc
will probably have to take our
medicine and "put up" with late
mails until the roads improve.

Beyond question one of the
strongest addresses ever del'vercd
before a Bend audience was the lec
ture to men last Sunday afternoon
given oy kcv. Lcwtas. It was a
powerful appeal to a man's man

ment why one should live a clean,
wholesome life. The speaker held
the closest attention of a church
full of men for an hour and a half.
The unanimous expression of those
present is that it was a sterling
discourse and would result in much
good.
