Aa far as tho senates Investigating committee on campaign expenditures can make out, none of tho presiden tial candidates conducted the prelim inaries exclusively on wind. lr. Proctor, who contributed $500,000 u) Goneral Wood's ambitions, testi fied ho was prompted "hy tho same motives that prompted him to aid the R4d Cross with a similar amount." This Is saying a lot for the incumbent administration. The farmers of tho hind are thoro lydisgusted with tho conflict neccs Bary to secure a hired man, and nn a consequence some of tho city folks VFlU be forced to eat tho rear tiro oft tholr 4d next wlntnr. Hungor mixed lit) with tho flood of fool notions abroad, will make tho situation Inter esting If not exciting. . Mr. Villa, who as you know is ono of tho most rambunctious of the Mux. leaders, doos not bellevo that his old enemy Carranza has departed this earth. Inasmuch as Mr. Villa, in tho course of events has died several tlnios himself his skepticism is worth something. lilt that ho will cast his vote for Gewral Wood. Jn a fair fijzht. Senator Johnson carried Oregon, and is morally entitled to tin; support of the Oregon delegation at Chicago. But under the present law there is no legal obligation what ever. Judge MeCamant is technically within hi.s rights when he declares he will not vote for Johnson, and there is every reason to believe every other delegate but one wil! leave Johnson when the formality of the first ballot lias been observed. We have no love for Johnson. "We oppose his presen; principles and deplore the spirit to which he appeals, ilut we would like to see him get a square deal, and when he carries a state, would like to have linn receive the reward to which such a victory entitles linn. Jiut under the present, primarv such a result is next to impossible. As we have pointed out before, the prima should be made binding, until the delegates pledged to a candidate by popular vote, are released by lain, or it should be abandoned entirely, and a straight out-and-out national primary substituted. Senator Johnson's position may be better understood by imagining the primary had been carried by Wood, and then one ot the delegates announced lie would vote lor Johnson, and it was realized, that, all other candidates but one intended to do the same. Iow would General Wood and his supporters feel about it? Would the argument that the sum of the anti-Wood votes exceed the Wood total be a very satisfying con solation? Of course not. There would be a howl from the Sia kiyous to the Columbia, just as there promises to be a howi from Hiram, when the inevitable comes to pass. The present mix-up is accentuated by the political mix up. As a matter of fact, if Wood is a Republican, Johnson isn't; and if Johnson is a Republican Wood isn't. They don't belong in the same primary at all. Jiut until the pri mary is more binding, the present, complicated mess js liable to occur at any time. .1 letter no primary at all than the present hedge podge. A system that will allow the people to vote one way and their delegates to vote another, is worse than no svstem at all. WHAT'S THE MATTER? f INN and Marion counties, where more benefits are ro- ceived from state institutions than any other section of the state, both voted against the higher educational niil! iure bill and the soldiers, sailors and marines educational bill. What is the matter with our brethern in the Upper Willamette? Jackson County, with nothing directly tc gain, actuated solely by the spirit, of public service to tin state, voted for both measures over two to one. It is a snd commentary upon the quality of citizenship in Marion and Linn, when, they have to depend upon the generosity cf outsiders to secure benefits for themselves. Hay fever is around ngaln.
