iUiklps tor Health,
LED BY THE ENEMY.
CURIOUS situation exists in the republican party
m Orojron. The rank and file has repudiated the
party machine, yet the machine has named the guberna
torial candidate-though ty9 less than a third of the votes.
The self-constituted assembly, which chose Jay Bowor
nmu.tlio:.t)latform ha stands upon, the principles he ad
vocates,' tile 'machine methods which he personifies, have
been overwhelmingly rejected by the rank and file yet
xnc rcpuuiican party goes 10 election turner n-juiuiisuip ut
the head and front of this rejected assembly, personifying
the-repudiated methods and discarded principles so otfen
sive to the inajority of the party.
The great corporate interests of Oregon were repre
sented in the assembly. They nominated Jay Bowerman,
va railroad attorney, to lead the ticket. Organized prop
erty was and is for him. The unorganized masses were
and are against him, for he represents as party nominee,
just what he represented as assembly nominee big busi
ness interests the "system."
"Tha state? I am the state I" said .Louis A IV. "Xiic
republican party ? We are the republican party, ' ' asserted
the assembly, which proceeded to read out of the party
anyone refusing to wear its collar. The assembly declared
war upon "popular" government, demanded a return to
"representative" government that is, machine rule as
long as the assembly is the machine.
This assembly of pie-counter politicians and corpora
tion cormorants, with its reactionary platform and defi
ance of the people, with its commendation of Cannonism,
Aldriclusm and standpatism, deaf to popular clamor,
bone-headedly ignorant of the national wave of protest
against machine government, blind to the hand-writing on
the wall, took its little slate before the rank and file of the
republican party, wherc-it faced the deep-set anger of an
outraged people.
The unorganized rank and file promptly smashed the
slate of the organized few except in the case of the head
of the ticket, where the organized assembly concentrated
its support, while the unorganized rank and file split be
tween three candidates and lost. Yet so strong was the
protest that less than a third of the votes were cast for
Jay Bowerman, assembly candidate for governor and re
publican nominee by grace of an overwhelming but. di
vided opposition.
For now comes the Portland Oregonian, spokesman-in-chief
for the assembly, and states that the election did not
settle the question that the people have not yet disap
proved of the assembly, only of its methods. So the elec
tion of Jay Bowerman, assembly nominee for governor,
will be construed as an endorsement by the people of the
assembly with its war on popular government, with its
"knife to Jiilt for Statement No. 1."
There is only- one way to kill the assembly, and that is
by hitting it in the head aborning with a sledgehammer
blow, by striking down the originator, instigator, organ
izer anT manipulator of the assembly, the father of this
reincarnation of. the convention, this attempted reaction
ary restoration of machine rule by defeating Jay Bower
man, assembly nominee for governor, and master mechanic
of machine politics.
EDUCATING THE HAEDSHELLS.
THE vote in Jackson county in the recent primary
marks this county the most progressive politically in
the First congressional district. The wave of revolt that
swept the nation against "pork barrel" politics has not as
yet permeated the thick-skinned, moss-covered Silurians
of the Willamette valley. It could hardly be expected
to, a commonwealth so behind in progress could hardly be
expected to grasp progressive political ideas with any
degree of expediency.
Somewhere in the next decade the Willamette valley
will grasp the idea, and then for generations it will vote
against Cannonism, like the gentleman from Arkansas
who didn't know the war was over.
OSWALD WEST
(Oregon Journal.)
His party has put Oswald West
forward for the position of governor
No candidate was ever more fitted
or offered to the people of Oregon.
Ho is of the type of men who uch
ieve large things. He is n product of
the lower levels from which has come
the best tho country has ever known,
no was born in poverty, und his
early career was in the midst of ad
versity. Ho was herding livestock
at Portland and driving a butcher
wagon at Salem at the age when oth
er boys were at their games. Tho
pinch of necessity drove him to lab
or when other lads at his age were
at school or at their pastimes.
It is a story of youth,that accom
panies many a pile of this country's
illustrious numes. It is tbe crucible
und preparation of many a splendid
public scrvicoYoung West was taken
from school while yet inliis teens
to become a, messenger in a bank.
But the fibre of munhood was in him
und he rose quickly to a position of
lurge confidence, Ifiis reputation
spread and another financial insti
tution bid and secured his services.
Then tbo commonwealth of Oregon
culled him up higher and lie became
u stato land agent. It was the swift
working out of a career of a young
mad who had'raado good in whatever
capacity he served.
No official ever served Oregon
better than did Oswaid West in his
administration in the state laud de
partment. It was an administration
by, a laud of notion, System wuh in-
trodticed un'd order was applied.
Graft was brought to an end and busi
uess principals installed. Laud
thieves were apprehended und thuir
stealings recovered aud returned to
the public domain. Go-betweens
were banished from the state house
and the puiuhaser of Htute lands
was brought into immediate touch
with tho state's agent and without
fee or price. There has always bo
fore been scandal in the office and
it is noticuble that tlieie has never
been scandal since. West entered the
position and cleaned it up.
For his .splendid serrlco us atote
hu:d agent, Mr.Wcst was culled up
highpr. It was proomtlou and the
utilization by the stato of his splen
did executive ability. Ho becumo a
member of tho railroad commission,
and tho splendid work A tho com
mission is u further monument of
his executive genius. It is a work
that has been done without u brass
bund, or pomp, or heraldry. It has
been u quiet, unassuming udmiutsru
tion of a great trust. Its results are
told off ovory duy in the great sums
that uro being saved tho consumers
producers mid shippers of Oregon.
Mr. West is of tho Chemborlnm
school of administration. His train
ing was under Chambethiin in the
two administrations by Unit notable
govornor, which administrations
woro tho most satisfactory Und most
populuv that Oregon ever hud.
Such has been the tinusitiou of
Oswald West from a penniless boy
hood to u caudiducy for the chief
