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.

cases being a holy horror of getting
