ABOUT THE PRIMARY
A suggestion has been made b;
the Oregon Voter for Improving th<
present direct primary law by mak
Ing the party organization re.tponsl
ble for selecting one candidate fo
each office, each candidate to be vot
ed on by voters as at present, alonj.
with others who may want the nom
(nation. The Voter admits there ar
some weighty objections to the pro
posal and discusses them at length.
Friends of the direct primary, ant
the Herald belongs in that category
remembering the abuses that were :
part and parcel of the old conventiot
system, watch jealously any effort t<
tinker with the law. Candor compel
the admission that the law Is not
perfect. Moreover, It Is not satlsfac
tory. It is better than the old conven
tlon system because it prevents bos
dictation, but It leaves voters at th<
mercy of self starting, self appointer
office seekers whose questionable fit
ness to serve in office does not Inspire
confidence.
The suggestion of tht
Voter is worthy of serious consider
ation. The suggetion in part is a:
follows:
If a method can be provided which
keeps control of nominations in thi
hands of voters, and still impose« on
the party organization the duty oi
making preliminary recommendation,
to the voters who are registered a
members of the party, such a meth
od ought to lead to better nomina­
tions.
We believe that such a method can
be provided, and that in no sense
would it abridge the freedom ol
choice of voters in selecting the act
ual nominee at the primaries.
The method wonld consist of ex­
tending permission to .puch party or­
ganization to propose one candidate
for each office for which party nom­
inations are to be made at the prl
marles.
On the primary ballot, the name o
each candidate so proposed would be
identified by a statement such as :
"Proposed by convention of member,
of the republican county central com
m ittee,” or "Proposed by convention
of delegates regularly called by re­
publican county centrnl committee.’
Such a candidacy should be filet'
30 days In advance of the time foi
filing other candidacies, so there
would be at least 30 days durlni
which the candiducy would be beTor<
the public prior to the closing <pf th
list to olti’er aspirants for the sa n t
nomination.
The candidate proposed by the pur-
yt organization would not be permitt­
ed to carry any slogan after hi« nami
on the ballot, other than the iden­
tifying atatement suggested above.
Other candidates would be permitted
to carry slogans after their names,
the same as under existing iuw.
The candidate receiving the high­
est number of votes would receive
the nomination, as under the exist­
ing law.
Fortgoing would tend to encour
age some activity on the part of each
party organization, but would confct
upon it no power to dictate, control
or review nominations. It would be
encouraged to propose candidates for
nomination, with no assurance that
the candidate proposed would bi
nominated. The electors would decide
and would not be bound in any way
to decide ill favor of the candidate
proposed by the party.
Every once In a while someone re
turns from a trip over p a i l s of the
state with a report that the Hermls
ton country Is plugging ahead fastei
with better prospects than most o th .i
districts. It is also a fact that a
number of pe >ple who left this dis­
trict a few years ago have either re
turned or are planning to return it
the near future. All of which may
be Interpreted as a reason for keeping
an eye on this Hermiston district.
