FATUOUS FOLLY
Oregon is three-fourths Republican. In fact there is
. 110 Democratic party in Oregoii no organization,jio prhi
- ciples, just a memory and a name around which, a few office-seekers
rally. The votes Democratic candidates rewire
are on their personality and when a Democrat is elected, it
is by Republicans, usually by Republican politicians and
party leaders.
Th'e Republican party in Oregon is nearly as badly off
for principles. It is and always has been torn by factional
fights. It is more so now than in the past when the Mitch
ell and Simon factions helped elect Democrats when they
could not place their own faction in power. If the mem
bers of the Republican party would accept the dictates of
the majority, there would be no Democrats elected.
The people of Oregon, in disgust at the petty bickerings
of office-seekers, sickened by holdup and boodle sessious of
the legislature, enacted the direct primary law, taking out
of the hands of the yjoliticians and placing in the hands of
the people, the power of making nominations. Now the
politicians are planning to wrest the power back from the j
people and have started a campaign against the direct pri- j

senator in a state overwhelmingly Republican. The pro
posed " assembly' ' marks the initial attempt of the poli
ticians to restore the convention system.
The direct primary law is
of Democrats. The fault lies in the refusal of the politic
ians to accept the verdict of the people. It is the old rule
or ruin policy that has always characterized Republican j
factions. "Because the Pulton faction could not re-elect t
Mr. Fulton senator, they helped elect a Democrat rather j
than abide by the verdict of the majority and elect a Re- j
publican outside their taction, and Senator luuton's Home
county, overwhelmingly Republican, gave Chamberlain
over 800 majority.
Back in 1902, a Democratic governor was elected by
ihe same tactics. The Simon faction of the Republican
party defeated in convention, openly worked for Chamber
lain, rather than permit the success of Furnish, a Mitchell
Republican. There was no direct primary law to blame
then nothing but the fatuous folly of the rival factions
and that is really all there is to hlame now.
The direct primary has been in force for years in south
ern states, where there is an overwhelming Democratic ma
jority. It has not elected Republicans to office, because
the southern Democrats place party loyalty above faction
al jealousies, and the various factions accept the ruling of
the majority as final. Were the Republicans to do the same
in Oregon, there would be no Democrats in office.
The Republican politicians, intent on a restoration of
their former powers (and the offices) openly announce
that if their "assembly" candidates are not accepted as,
party nominees by the Republican majority, they willj
knife every Republican npminee not an "assembly" man'
and elect Democrats. It is the old rule or ruin policy.'
"Give us the offices, or we'll elect Democrats," the samci
old selfish yelp by the same old selfish band of Republican
masqueradcrs.
"Why blame the direct primary law for the election of
Democrats 1 "Why not place the blame where it belongs, on
the narrow visioncd, unpatriotic factional Republicans, the
selfish and greedy band of office-seekers that has ship
wrecked the Republican party in Oregon, and now threat-1
