Taft vStarts His Machine
Using Patronage In Oregon (o Get; a' Standpat Delegation to the National Convention, Says Colliers
The republican national convention
which will renominate, or refuse to
renominate, Mr. Taft for tho presi
dency, is not iniito sixteen months
distant. Tho first move of the ad
ministration to bring about his rc
nomiuatioii is just now being miiile
in tho state of Oregon.
Although tho people of Oregon
have again and again repudiated the
machine politicians of their state
President Taft looks to that machine
for help instead of to the progres
sives. Evidently, fearing to trust
his case to the people in the Presiden
tial preferential primaries to bo held
in Oregon next year, Mr. Taft de
pends on tho discredited opponents
of tho Oregon system of direct leg
islation to deliver a Taft delegation
to the national convention.
Taking Patronage From Progressiva
Senators.
Two motives are concerned in this
apparent alliance first, that of tho
president, and, second, that of the
enemies of tho direct-primary sys
tem. These motives travel parallel,
one actuated by ambition and tho
other by political revenge. The lie
that hinds, is federal patronage.
Oregon recently extended the pii
mnry system to include presidonti.il
electors and delegates to the national
conventions, thus giving voters nn
opportunity to express thoir prefer
ence for presidont and vice president.
This presidential primary will he heul
in Oregon in April, 1912, several
mouths before the nntional conven
toius. Now bear in mind tho significance
of this event: tho republican voteis
of Oregon will go to tho polls nnd
vote for Taft. or La Follette, or
Koo&cvelt, or whomeer eneh man
wants, to be tho nominee of tho re
publican parly for prosidont. (Sim
ilarly, the domocrats will vole fv
Harmon, or Wilfeon, or Folk.)
Hemombor, nlso, tho advanfngo of
receiving tho endorsement of tho
republican', of an ontire stnto nt such
nn earlv dato as. April. Mr. Taft
wants the endorsement of tho Ore
gon republicans. To get it, ho has
commit ted himself to tho standpat
republicans of Orogon, who hnvo
been rojmlsod at the polls time after
timo.
An understanding exists botwoon
Mr, Taft's political manager, Postmaster-General
Hitchcock, and Ralph
B. William, the chief standpatter u'
tho state, who is republican nntional
oommhtoenmn for Oresron. In effect,
it is this: If the president will asUt
in discrediting Senator Bourne ami
provont him from nominating politi
cal supporters to important federal
appointments, the standpat n-publi
cans -will see that a Taft delegation
is sent from Oregon toahc republican
national convention.
As is generally known, tho presi
dent, early in his administration, un
dertook to punish tho "progressive
senators hi' depriving them of federal
patronage; after some months, realiz
ing his error, he caused Sccretar.
Norton to issuo a letter to the effect
that thereafter tho progressives
would receive all the patronago which
belonged to them, nnd that he, the
president, would no longer attempt
to interfere. All Hint tho president
wanted was harmony any insur
gent senator was weloomo to what
belonged to him. Ju the present con
nection, pnrts of this letter will boar
quriting. (It was written September
13 last) :
"While republican legislution pend
ing in congress was opposed by cer
tain republicans, the president felt it
to he his duty to the party and in
the country to withhold federal pat
ronage from certain senators and
congressmen who seemed to be in
opposition to the administration's ef
forts to carry out the promises of
the party platform. That attitude,
however, ended with tho primary elec
tions and nominating .conventions
which havo now been held, and in
which the voters have had opportun
ity to declare themselves. . . .
In tho preliminary skirmishes in cer
tain states, like Wisconsin and Iowa
and elsewhcro, ho was willing, in tho
interest of what tho Ioadors boliovcl
would load to party success, to mako
certain discriminations, hut the pres
ident has concluded that it is his duty
now to treat all republican congress
men and bona tors alike, without any
distinction. Ho will now follow tho
usual rule in republican congressional
districts nnd states and follow the
roiionunendutions made by republican
congressmen and senators, of what
ever shade- of political opinion, only
requiring that the men recommended
shall be good moil, the most compe
tent and the best fitted for the of
fice." Now, in the faco of this lultor of
Secretary Norton's, Prosidont Taft
is making nn exception.
Ignoring Senator Hon inc.
Senator Iloumo had a candidate
for United Statos marshal of Oio
gon. The standpat national commit
teeman, Williams, had another--Elmer
H. Cnhvell. Thero is in Oregon
an uncoufinnod storv to the effoot
that when Iloitrne ducuasod tho mar-1
shaUhip with Mr. Taft the letter said
there would he no recess appoint- j
inent. vet scarcely had coutrroi ad
journed than r.ilwcll was handed a
nri-, appointment. A joint protest.
ngninst the cpufinnution of Colwc'l
was filed by Senator Bourne, repub
lican, nnd his colleague, Senutoi
Chnmherluin, democrat.
Next, the commission of P. S. Mal
cojm us collector of customs at
Portland was about to expire. Sena
tor Bourne hud a candidate, and
Williams asked-for the reappoint
ment of Malcolm. President Taft
has sent Malcolm's name to tho sen
ate in accordance with Williams' re
quest. The national committeeman's
wishes enrry more weight with the
president than those of the two sen
ators. ,
Thus, up to tho present writing,
the standpatters have the best of tho
situation, for they hnvo tho president
on their side and havo taken from
Bourne his patronnge. The presi
dential car is reached through Postmaster-General
Hitchcock.
How Tail Can Win.
Ill turn, the standpatters promise
to make good and deliver a delega
tion for Mr. Taft. If Mr. Taft i
tho presidential choice of tho major
ity of republican voters in Oregon, he
will, of course, havo the Oregon na
tional delegation (expenses paid !y
the state, after tho delegates are se
lected by the people through the bal
lot). But and hero is whero the
standpatters oan deliver tho goods
and repay Mr. Taft for his intori'er
enco in patronage affairs should
some other republican bo tho choice
of tho peoplo of Oregon, .Mr. Wil
liams, as national committeeman, can
call a convention and have delegates
selected for tho nationaj convention.
Then, with the committee on credou
tiuls in control of the Taft machi
nery in tho national convention, the
Williams delegation for Tuft would
bo more likely to ho seated than i.
pcoplo-choriou delegation pledged to
some other republican. Of course it
would ho an extreme usu of tho steam
roller.
Such is tho explanation given in
Oregon. Tho strange nnd peculiar
phaso of tho whole affair is the
apparent ignorance of Prosidont
Taft and Postmustor Gouoral Hitch
cook of political condition, in Ore
gon. For tho pat hix yoari. ono do
foat has followed another for tho rc
ateionary republicans.
Any ono familiar with Orouon
knows that' machine politician arf
discredited, and apparently Mr. Talt
and Postmaster Gonorai Hitchcock
nre the only prominont outsiders who'
entortain contrary opinions. Open-'
miuded citizens presume that tho iol-1

suggestion of Mr. Williams is duo to,
