. TO DEFEAT NOMINEES
Nomination of Candidate by "As
' fwnihly" Flint Step Toward Old
Convention System.
(By Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr.)
1 '
nipt measures so prevalent in me
'past should join in defeating even
candidate who seeks or accepts an
assembly endorsement. By such de
termined action efforts to revive po-
j was devised by would-be political
I bosses, who thoroughly canvassed
'the state, enlisted the aid of former
j political leaders wherever assist-
anre could be secured, and by con
stant agitation and persistent urging
I Induced a few persons In many pre
cincts to designate delegates to the
Ka,,'s 1,p n,a,n,ainoa', an1 il ls n0"
inrlnnn that In mnnv Inst.inees the
j number of voters present was less
: than the number of delegates chosen,
ithiis demonstrating that the assem
blies thus composed can not be rep
resentative of public opinion,
i Political bosses are attempting to
force Oregon republicans to accept
dictation from an undesired assem
bly made up of delegates chosen by
a relatively shall number of voters.
In other words, a coterie of
would-be political doctors have de
clared the people of Oregon to be
suffering from Ills purely imaginary,
and have employed themselves to
j prescribe a remedy. They also as
sume the right to mix the dose and
expect the people to swallow It
'without a grimace. loiter they will
expect the people to pay the bill In
tho form of legislation for special in
terests and distribution of political
awards. Unless I mistake the tern
r an(, ,n.lligence of the people of
Oregon, the dose will be refused, the
prescription will bo declined and
there will bo no bill to pay.
Plan Indirect A Mark.
Ijicklng the courage to make n
direct assault upon the progressive
laws which have been enacted In
Oregon, self-constituted leaders
have planned an Indirect and covert
attack, by which means they hope to
be successful. Their pretension of
allegiance to the direct primary law
Is but the kiss which precedes
trayal of their master, the people of
j Oregon.
j In an attempt to fortify their posi
tion they quote Governor Hughes
of New York ns favoring an assem
bly prior to the direct primary In
that state, but they hnve not the
! honesty to submit to the people of
Oregon under the initiative the
Oregon' nuest Ion whether the people desire
the Oregon law amended by restor
ing the convention system. They
are not wilting to trust the Intelli
gence of the people even In this.
The Issue presented Is not one of
personalities, but of principles.
Doubtless the guiding spirits of the
assembly movement In the hopes of
.reinstating themselves in power
have tried to select ns candidates
men who are as free as possible
from objection on personal grounds.
To HeveUc Pi-ople.
Thev thus hope In accomplish a
double purpose, secure the assist
ance of Influential cltl-ens and de
ceive ii' people r.enerallv as to their
ultimate objects But the principle j
at taUe Is of vastly more Import-:
ance than the personal Interests of
an Individual The Issue Involves,

ef tlii convention s lim in tliU
state. Those who have In recent
years made their homes among us
have observed the operations of the
'systen" in other states and are
familiar with its results. Return to
that system in Oregon means repeti
tion of the disgraceful scenes which
were exhibited in elections and in
legislation prior to her popular gov
ernment demonstration.
In an effort to conceal their self
ish purpose, the leaders of the as
sembly movement pretend to be
deeply concerned over alleged dis
ruption of the republican party.
They assume anxiety for the unifi
cation of the party. They Ignore
what tverybody knows to be the
fact that party disruptions grew
out of the methods of convention
managers and that some of the men
who now plead so earnestly for par
ty loyalty and harmony have been
responsible for party defeat.
Supremacy of principles Is of
more importance than supremacy of
party, and he is an enemy of the
party who leads it into abandon
ment of the fundamental principles
of popular government.
Loval observance of the spirit of
the direct primary law and subordin
ation of selfish Interests to the wel
fare of the state will do more than
anything else to unify and strength
en the partv. The assembly Is des
ignated to nullify the primary law.
Success of Hie movement will be
followed by attack upon the Initia
tive and referendum and other pro
gressive laws. Because this is but
the first step in the general attack,
and because it is wrong in principle,
I assert that every man who has
accepted an assembly nomination,
either expressly or by acquiescence,
should be defeated either In the pri
maries or at the general election.
The people of Oregon are again
on trial. Will they be betrayed into
returning to the former days of
legislative and administrative spe
cial privilege auctions? Are they
stupid and Ignorant animals, incap
able of self-government, or are they
the most intelligent people in the
world, as demonstrated by their pop
ular government laws which they
now enjoy, but which the nssembly
ites evidently wish to deprive them
of? Success or failure of the as
sembly movement will furnish the
answer.
New Ojera House Management.
The announcement is made that
our townsman, Thomas Fuson, takes
the management of the Grants Pnss
opera house on 1he first of Septem
ber and will open the season with
tho Mlkndo on the second. The com
pany presenting this popular musical
comedy is one of the best on the
road and It will give Grants Pass"
citizens an opportunity to witness
a fine production.
Mr. Fuson had charge of I he opera
house In Ashland for six years and
his superior management brought to

class companies. He will do the
same thing for Grnnts Pass and our

his management, for he will give ns
some of the very best plays on the
road. Grants Pass will show Its ap
preciation of Mr. Fuson's manage
ment. This city has had one trouble
with Its productions In the opera
house, and that Is the plays have not
been tloronuhly advertised. Under
the new management we are assured
that this wilt be remedied, as all
good plavs will be made Known bv

sit T-ESSITL EXPERIMENT
BY WYOMING WIZMU'
Professor Biiffum Breeds New Vari
ties of Grain and
Forage.
Wyoming has the honor of claim
ing among its citizens one who equals
If he does not excel the renowned
Burbank of California. The latter
gentleman discovered a method of
breeding new varieties of fruits,
flowers and vegetables. The Wyora-
Ine man has taken a broader field
and has produced new varieties of
grains much superior to anything
existing before. His first experiment
was with the seed known as Black
Russian emmer, a winter grain re
sembling barley which Is known as
one of the best stock foods grown
In this country and Is particularly
adapted to semi-arid conditions. Af'
ter four years experimenting, Prof.
Buffum has produced a grain of
much higher quality and greater
vleld than the original. He has
nian carried on experiments with
wheat with the same success. He
has succeeded In taking the heard
off this latter grain and has In
creased the production per acre
three or four fold. His experiments
with alfalfa are equally wonderful
as he has succeeded In evolving a
forage plant that grows nine feet
high and of much greater tonnage.
Tie Is now experimenting with the
clover family and he hopes to breed
a variety which will be in great de
mand all over the country.
Prof. Buffum has been quietly at
work during the past four years In
making experiments, all of which he
has kept to himself until success has
crowned his efforts. His experiments
with small grain and forage plants
will be of great benefit to the agri
cultural world In general. The pro
fessor is still a young man. not yet
having passed the prime of life, con
sequently much can be expected from
him during the next, few years. He
has in the past rendered valuable
service to the agricultural college of
Colorado and the agricultural experi
ment, station connected with the Wy
oming state university. Four or five
years ago he, with associates, found
ed an experiment farm In the Big
Horn basin In Wyoming. This farm
was Intended to supply seed of su
perior quality and the experiments
have been successful.

A Fine Farm on the Applegnte.
A representative of the Courier
was fortunate enough a few days ago
to become the guest of R. L. Coe at
his Applegate ranch, seven miles from
this city. This ranch Is one of the
finest properties on the Applegate
and it contains 161 ncres, 110 acres
of which are under Irrigation. Eigh
ty acres of this farm consists of bot
tom land and the balance table land,
and the entire tract is on a southwest
slope and Is consequently suited to
fruit cultivation. The water for Ir
rigation is supplied from what Is
known as the New Hope ditch. The
ranch has on it a fine crop of alfal
fa, corn, potatoes, apples and pears.
The head farmer Is George A. Bar
den, a brother of Mrs. Coe. He has
had large experience In fanning, but
this Is his first experience in irriga
tion. He thinks with another year
the work will come easier for him;
but his crop this year Is far from a
failure. A visit to this place will
convince anyone that Irrigation Is of
the utmost Importance in this coun
try. M S M1 K KH)M;vs

I Wonder Why
I wonder why the cooks we like
From us are always on the hike.
I wonder why food soars 6ky high
When "biz" Is dull and money shy.
Why my last summer's suit will do
But wlfle must have one that's new.
I wonder why when home I seek
At one, the stairs so loudly creak.
Why skeeters round my mug will
play
When there's a "peach" two steps
away.
Why when an outing I have planned
It always rain3 to beat the band.
And when advancing stocks I buy
Down, down they go I wonder
why?

Who Was Right?
Congressman Victor Murdock, of
Kansas, one of the leading Insur
gents of the house, has made a study
of postal affairs for a great many
vears. He says that the house postal
savings bank bill was a good meas
ure. In the senate, Insurgents like
Cummins, La Follette, Bristow and
others, said that It was a bad bill,
and :hey voted against the house
proposition. Naturally the question
arises f.s to who had the proper Idea
of postal legislation.
