THE REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY.
TUER13 is considerable buncombe printed about Dem
ocrats objecting to the proposed Republican As
sembly. This is absurd. There is no reason why Repub
licans and all other parties should not hold assemblies,
if held within the Drovisions entailed by the law. In
fact,
as follews:
"Section 2791 Any political party, and any assembly
of electors as hereinafter defined, and also individual
electors to the number hereinafter specified, by causing a
certificate of nomination to be duly prepared and filed
in the manner hereinafter provided, may nom
inate one candidate for each publie office to be filled at
the election, whose name shall bo placed upon the ballots
to be furnished as hereinafter provided. A political
party, within the meaning of this act, is an affiliation of
electors representing a political party which, at the gen-
Posta'are Bates.

Objections to the proposed Republican assembh'
comes" principally from patriotic Republicans, who fear
that the proposed assembly is only a veiled attack upon
the direct primary law and a move to re-establish a politi
cal machine.
This fear is well grounded. The Portland Oregoniau,
principal spokesman for the assembly, is certainly at
tacking the primary law as well as the initiative and refer
endum. It openly seeks to reestablish the political ma-

declare editerially:
"Republicans of Oregon intend to repudiate statement
one. They intend to suggest in assembly or convention
candidates for the primary and will put the knife into
each and all "who declare for statement one."
This indicates very clearly the aim and object of the
movement. The Oregonian would restore those days of
deadlock legislation and $25,000 "jackpots" in Oregon,
which the direct primary, through Statement One, has
abolished.
With the prospect of such a factional war in the Re
publican party and the plunging of the knife by assembly
forces, Democrats and other hopelessly minority parties,
should do all possible to encourage the assembly.
Aside from the motive back of the politicians promot
ing the assembly, the only objection lies in the method
of selecting delegates. Many of the counties will send
delegations not at all representative of the party dele
gations in which the rank and file have had no voice in
selecting and some of the delegations will be named and
pledged beforehand, as in the palmy days of the conven
tion system.
Assembly endorsement should not necessarily defeat
anyone any more than it should elect one. The person
ality of the candidates named will settle the endorsement
by the people. But if the state assembly takes action,
as indicated by the Oregonian, attacking the direct pri
mary law, its nominees, standing upon such a platform,
will not command public confidence and will have a hard
sailing to secure the party nomination at the state pri
maries.
Assembly Republicans place assembly success para
mount to Republican success, as the Oregonian does, Dem
ocrats may have some chance of electing one or two candi
dates by the aid of assembly Republicans not otherwise.

Friends of tho governor believe
that ho does not credit the htate

they did not know any member of
tho mob. The rioters that dragged
Ethorington to his death were not
masked, nnd thoy are said to have
