GEOHGE H. WILLIAM i SPEAK.
Urges Republican. to Cut Their
Shoulder to the Wheel and
Help the Tarty to Victory
The Republican fitute Convention
lu M lu Portland on I lie Uth, elected
a Taft delegation to the Chicago Na
tional Convention. 1 tour no ami hi
wU trained forces were completely
turned down aud Fulton' stalwarts
won on I, electing a straight out 1'aft
delegation. (1. W. Fulton, Geo. II.
Williams, A. N. Gilbert, C. (1. Hunt
ly, It. K. Williunii, 0. A. Shelbrede,
Dr. II. W. Coo, Ana li. Tbombsou,
were eleced delegate to tho Nutloual
convention, and Butler, Marnier,
Miller aud Loo were nominated for
presldcutal .lectors.
Following hU unanimous electiou a
one of I lie deleiigte lit large, Judge
Geo. II. Williama, of l'orllaud, one of
the llmcst, uont level beaded men
in the stain addressed the conveutiou
an follows :
"Mr Chairman, aud Gentlemen of
the Con vent I on--1 appreciate the
honor you hire conferred upon me iu
unauitiiouxly choosing me as a dele
gate from the Ktate of Oregou to tbe
Republican National Convention,
i assume thut we et ill have a Republi
can party in tho Ktate of Oregon, and
that you are the representatives of
that party. I assume that thia con
vention lueaua that tbe Republican
part? of Oregon la au organized party
and anxious toaucceed at tbe
approaching electiou. We bave juat
passed through a primary electiou in
which mauy caudidatea were defeated
and their frieuda diaappointed. Near
ly all of the men I voted for were de
feated. 1 am now going to vote for
the successful candidates. 1 waa
sorely dleiippointed In tbe defeat of
Mr. Fulton for United State Senator,
but I am golug to vote for Mr. Cake.
I am going to support tbe candidate
of tbe Republican party for United
States Beuator, aud so lu my judg
ment la everyone voting the Republi
can ticket ut the primary electiou.
If this la not no, theu the primary
law la a farce and a fraud When
there are several candidates for tbe
same otlice, of course some of them
must necessarily be defeated, aud if
the frieuda of those candidate have
voted for tho nominations that are
made, us baa beietofore been tbe
case, they are obliged, buving voted
in the primaries, to support the
successful candidates. When party
bossea dominated conventions aud
made nominations, there might be
some excuse fur voting ugaiust that
nomination, but, when the people
nominate n cundidute uud a majority
selects that candidate, there la no
justification for refufsal to vote fur
such cundidate, unless the man ia
known to be dishonest or corrupt.
The pimary law was intended us a
substitute for making convention
nominations, aud it ia a good substi
tute; but if it la not carried out with
more wisdom than it baa been, It Is
no better than the convention system.
"I wIhIi to remind you gentlemen
that this is a year in which u Prosl
lent Is to bo elected. On tho tlrst
Monday lu June, Oregon will tire tbe
lirst gun iu the Presidential eumpuigu,
and it will bo heralded all ovoi tbe
United Btutea aa a Republican or a
Democrat victory. It ia bound to
have a decided eirect on tbe Presiden
tial election. It will be taken aa tbe
index of public opinion. To elect a
Democrat would ineun that Oregon
will give its electoral vote for the
Democratic candidate for tbo Presi
dency lu November. There la just as
much rcusou for voting for tbe Demo
crat cundidate foi the otlice of Presi
dent aa there ia for tbe cundidate for
the otlice of United Btutea Senator.
Mr. Urynn cun say just aa well aa
Governor Chamberlaiu 'I am uu able
man uud I am au honest mau. You
Republicans ought to vote for me, for
I am the bead aud foot of tbe Demo
crat Ic parly. '
"This alk about there being tin poli
tical pm lien in the Juno election la

a big campaign for their purtyT
('luiiiibi rliiln represents that ho la a
Roosevelt man when everybody know
that tie la for liryao.
"I appeal to tho Republican of this
Mate to stand by the time-honored
and battle scarred Hag of the Repub

that Lincoln, (irimt, McKlumy and
Roosevelt fought under. 1 1 represent
the growth and progress of our coun

successor to these great men, and our

Opposed to the abuse of tbe initia

measures on the ballot.

In favor of tbe appropriations for

Cautions tbe voters of Oregon to

Opposes tbe Single Tax measure.
NO PRIOR RIGHTS
WILL BE ALLOWED
There will be no further action this
session relative to tbe Oregon k Cali
fornia land grant. Cbaiimao Moo
dell, of tbe public lands committee,
has received a letter from tbe Attor
ney General expressing tbe opinion
that no additional legislation is neces
sary and, as this view coincides with
tbe view of the committee, tbere will
be no addition to the Fulton resolu
tion. In his letter tbe Attorney
General makes It very plain that,
pending termination of suits, no per
son should go upon or even undertake
to purchase land involved la the con
templated litigation. Those who dis
tegard this advice are likely to lose
what money they levest and will ob
tain no color of title to tbe land.
Tbe Attorney General also makes
it plain tbat mills now operating on
land bought from tbe railroads will
not be disturbed as long as tbey oper
ate along reasonable and proper lines.

A Letter From Attorney
General Crawford
The following communication re
ceived by District Attorney Moore
from attorney General Crawford is
self explanatory, and will prove a
source of information to voters as
well as election boards. Mr. Moore
coincides with tbe views expressed by
the Attorney General, and ia of tbe
opinion tbat an elector may vote for
all officers, provided he is an actual
resident of the precinct in which he
offers to vote, notwithstanding tbe
fact tbat be may have registered in
some other precinct
Mr. Crawford's letter is as follows:
"In reply to your favor of the 27 th
ultimo, I would call your attention to
section 17 of Article II of the State
Constitution which requires tbat eve
ry qualified elector shall vote in the
precinct in which he lives, for coun
ty officers and in nny county in the
state for state officers, etc. There
fore, whether a voter is registered or
uot, he must vote iu the precinct

"By far tbe most Important

representatives of President Harri
man, of tbe Southern Pacific Tbe
line, in fact, will be a branch of tbat
trancontineutal road, connecting with
tbe Oregon & Eastern in Oregon,"
(this connection will be made at
Lakeview)" thus giving access to the
