MOST INPORTANT DUTY
Tomorrow, direct primary day,
should lie considered by the people
of Oregon as the most important
day of the year
It is the most im
portant iMTAuae we will then select
candidates, a [»art of whom will
control the destinies of Oregon for
two years from January I, follow
ing
Unless we select good and efficient
candidates, the officials we will
cleet next November cannot lw*
good and efficient.
At our primary election we have
the privilege of selecting a candidate
for each und every office from one
or more who offer th«*m selves from
which to select. Now there is no
doubt but what one of each group
of candidates offerer! for nomination
is more fit, ca|>able and efficient
than the others and it is the busi
ness of the voter to make this selec
tion. lie should cast off any personal
feeling he may have and select as
his nominee the candidate whom-
ability, fitness and honesty of pur
pose measures up lieat to the quali
ties required.
Particularly is this true of the
candidates selected as legislatorsand
for county commissioner. Neither
of these positions should now la*
considered in any sense oolitical. It
is men who are callable and honest
and wh«> are calculated to get the
iiest results. who should be mdected.
It makes but little difference to
the grneral public whether an offi
cial is a republican or a democrat.
If he is the man who will render the
beet service and is most capable.
Partv and partyism should la* set
aside, when selecting men for either
of these offices
If you lielieve the
democrat candidate is the better
man for the place, considered from
all angles, vote for him. or if the
republican if the better fitted for
the place, it is your duty u> vote
for him
It is results which the
people want and the politics of the
official who aids in getting the re
sults is a matter of indifference to
most people.
Extreme partisanisni has and is
today the lume of republican govern
ment. It is the cause of bad ami
special legislation. Hence the man
who will vote for his party candi
date. regardless as to qualifications
and general fitness, when hi* in
reason knows the opposing candidate
is the (letter man. is next door to
an enemy to his country, and the
man who will vote for a candidate
whose only pur I* we in seeking offi
cial position is to advance special
and selfish interests, is an enemy to
our form of government. He should
tie disfranchised from all future
elections as an unfit man to have a
voire in a free government. Un
fortunately we have too many of
thia class of citixens. Their votes
are cast for men who are unfit
legislators. It is because ot this
claaa of lawmakers that graft is
winked at and bad lasts are enacted
