The consideration and recom mendation of men desirable for pri mary nominees by county and state as semblies will tend to overcome some of these imperfections, by, perhaps, lessening the excessive number of self- nominated candidates. 1 can see no reasonable obiection to political Darties holding assemblies. J. L. Carter. Ex-Mayor Laurence N. Blowers has been mentioned as a possible candidate for County Judge on the Republican ticket and in his communication to The Glacier he says he would accept the nomination. He thinks that the as sembly may be a temporary benefit, but that it is a step in the wrong di rection. He is not opposed to a good assembly, but fears that the old abuses might return. He writes The Glacier: Editor Glacier In reply to your query relative to my attitude towards tUa Aaonmhlu will ntutn thnt 1 flm A Republican and naturally interested in any movement affecting the party's welfare. I think that the Assembly, may accomplish some temporary good, but permanent injury, as it seems to me that it is a step backward, toward the old. rotten, boss ridden Convention system. In my opinion the present Primary law would never have been enacted by the people if conventions in the nast had represented the people instead of the bosses and reaction aries.

Surely no one party could reasonably object to members of another party assembling were not given an opportunity to elect their delegates. I am opposed to Biich methods. In reference to the Judgeship, the desideratum is, in my opinion, the se lection of a competent business man to carry on the business of the county, and I am not particular who he may be provided he is a man who is qualified and will take the same interest in ins work that a good business man would n his own affairs.

Yours respectfully, Laurence N. Blowers. One of the announced candidates for County Clerk is County Assessor J. P. Lucas, of Cascade Locks. Mr. Lucas has been in public office considerably and was County Clerk of Gilliam County for 10 years, having been ap pointed by Governor Moody when the county was created. He was also Reg ister of The Dalles Land Office for nearly five years. In regard to the assembly he says : Editor Glacier-1 will say that as I understand the object of the Assembly, both county and state, i can see nuui- infr imnrnlvor fir unlawful therein.

Vaughan, president oi me mer chants' Associaton, presided at the meeting and most of the talking was done by the rural delegates. The main complaint seemed to be against increased rates for poorer service. C. L.

Mr. Hardinger speaking for Mr. Stow said that the latter had been prompted to start the mutual movement because of pot r service afforded bv the present company. He gave a brief outline of the plan for the mutual com pany and answered a few questions which were put to him by the meeting. The Hutu whirh 1ms heen fathered bv the Merchants' Association as to the charges for telephone service in simi tar communities in me iiuiumwi who read to the meeting showing that most of the rates were lower than those which have been put into effect by the local company. A. 1. Mason spoke at length alleging that there was discrimination between the town and country, against the lat ter. He also outlined the history of the troubles which have resulted in the mutual ownership and operation of the irrigation sytema in the Hood Riv ' er valley and ailujed to the telephone troubles with the Hell company a few I years ago which resulted in the organ ization of the present local company. i. -1... ...1 IV,.. fiirVit IJO HIHvl IllCllWlotltll viiu "nvvi which has been on in the city for sev eral years and emphasized the propo sition that the Hood River people were not disposed to stand for public service corporations the rates and service of which were not satisfactory. In defense of the company Mr. Hall stated that there was no other place in the country where the free switching was given over such a great extent of territory for the rates charged as in the case in Hood River, where the sys tem covers an area approximately bi by 25 mileB and makes no toll charges within the valley. John Mohr spoke of the troubles of the east aiders and was followed by Mr. Hardinger who told of a number of rural lines in Oregon which were owned by the far mers to the city limits, and operated mutually, over which the companies gave service at rates running from $3 to JiS a year. In dicsuBsing the mutual system plan, Mr. Mason suggested that if it was necessary to have a mutual com pany in order to obtain satisfactory service at reasonable rates .that the mutual company should buy the pres ent plant of the Home company if It eonlil he secured at a reasonable fig ure.
