Grange Opposes
September Primary
By MARY LUNDELL
Three years ago the voters of
Oregon defeated a bill similar to the
September Primary bill recently
passed by the state legislature. It is
strange that a legislative body, rep
resenting a people who defeated a
change in the May primary more
than two and a half to one, will take
the liberty to force such a law upon
its electors.
We believe that the bill should be
defeated for the following reasons:
1. The people will have no right
of choice for the nomination of the
president or vice-president of the
United States.
2. It takes away the voters' right
to elect a national commiteeman or
committeewoman for Oregon.
3. The change in primary dates
will handicap a candidate of aver
age circumstances. Only a man of
wealth can use publicity by mail,
newspapers, and radio. A wealthy
man can use air transportation and
hire any number of assistants. A
man of average means whose inter
ests are those of Mr. and Mrs. Av
erage American, would be greatly
handicapped by a short time in de
veloping his publicity.
4. It would make it almost im
possible for an independent candi
date to run for office. Occasionally
we may prefer an independent to a
party candidate, and it is a voter's
privilege.
5. We have had from May to No
vember to study the qualifications of
a candidate. A September primary
coming during the farmer's busiest
season, would not permit sufficient
time to learn the qualifications of a
candidate as approximately 20 days
for report of counties to file their
votes and an additional 25 of the
54 to 61 days will be used in printing
a Voters' Pamphlet.
6. As we said before, September
is one of the busiest times of the
year for rural folk and laborers so
that thousands of persona would be
kept from the polls. May is a much
preferred date for the laborer.
7. The shortage of time would

make it almost impossible to con
test a disputed election as time
would not permit
8. There has been a tendency
among political groups to destroy
our primary election. This change of
dates and shortening of time is but
a step in that direction.
Petitions will soon be in the hands
of various grange masters and com
mittees. We are asking your assist
ance and signature to have this Sep
tember bill changed to May. We
must defend out primary law from
those who would return to the old
convention system.
Willows Grange News
Once again Willows grange bal
loted on a building site. By a ma
jority vote, Cecil was chosen, pend
ing the granting of a clear title to
the orot)ertv in question in a reas
onably short time. A committee was
atroointed to care for the financial
end of the building project, and an
other to select the type of building
best suited to our needs.
At the next meeting the matured
plans and reports will be submitted
to the membership, and the build
ing should soon be under construc
tion. The Home Economics club served
a delicious lunch in keeping with
the Easter season.
