A NEW PHASE OF OREGON REPUBUCANSM.
According to the Oregonian and the political leadership
which it inspires, the Republican party in Oregon is entering
upon a new era,
What is known as the assembly, plan of suggesting nomina
tions of candidates, which worked so well in the recent city
election at Portland, is to be extended to county and state
nominations,
The election of Mr, Simon to the office of Mayor makes the
extension of the assembly plan a logical sequence,
It may prove to be an additional means of grace.
It is possible to bring out some good men by assembly who
might not be willing to submit their names to a direct primary,
The opposite is equally true vicious politicians and un
desirable citizens may be nominated by assembly who would
stand no show before a direct primary without having been
first "suggested" by the machine,
So the assembly system solves no problem finally and its
nominees will have to submit their names to the popular votes,
But assuming that some good might come from the assembly
plan, the Oregonian opens the Oregon political campaign with
a review of the candidates,
It gives a good deal of space to Governor Benson, who re
fuses to disclose his political plans at present,
As possible candidates for Governor it mentions the fol fel fol
eowing: r ,
Frank W. Benson of Roseburg.
State Superintendent Ackerman of Salem.
Attorney General Crawford of Douglas county.
Dairy and Food Commissioner Bailey of Portland.
Dr. Jas. Withycombe of Corvallis.
Dr. Andrew C. Smith of Portland.
President of the Senate Jay Bowerman.
Grant B. Dimmick of Oregon City.
George J. Cameron of Portland.
The announcement is made that Congressman Hawley will
contest the U. S. senatorship with J. Bourne Jr. in 1913.
In the meantime B, F, Mulkey of Jackson goes after Hawley's
lowing! G N, McArtliur an JWairacoiraammanTof Portland,
Judge Butler of Condon and George S, Shepherd and T, T,
Geer of Portland,
There will be four Justices of the Supreme Court to elect
and other offices to bo filled at the coming state election are
as follews: Fifteen State Senators, State Treasurer, Attorney
General, State Printer, Labor Comm ssioner. one Railroad Com
missioner, fourteen Circuit Judges, fifteen District Attorneys,
and last of ali, sixty members of the legislature. .
Of course, a full set of offciials will have to be chosen in
each county ,and before the next election rolls about one-half
tho adult population will have a chance to run for office.
The Capital- Journal will not assume to dictate to the Re
publican party what It shall do in the matter of holding a nomi
nating convention,
The people will regard an assembly to "suggest" candidates
virtually as a nominating convention.
Whether thoy would accept at the primaries nominees thus
suggested, virtuallv restorinn the convfintinn svsfom. wlifnh
tho people would abolish in favor of the direct primary, remains
to be seen,
This newspaper will not seek to prejudice voters against
tho assembly plan of making nominations, As stated hi the
beginning, it may be an additional means of securing good
candidates,
We believe the day of dictation to officials is nearly over.
We do not believe tho Oregonian can dictate policies to
Mayor Simon, even if it wore so minded,
Wo bolievo Mr, Simon will give Portland an absolutely busi
ness administration.
Tho condition Portland finds itself in precludes any other
policy on his part,
Those who advocate the assembly plan are entitled to a fair
hearing.
The plan is not new as it has been practiced by the Demo-
uictib in uio nisi oi xne aireci primary law,
I believe it will stand the test of time and experience.
I would prefer to see it obeyed and respected,
But the advocates of the assombly plan are good Republi
cans and entitled to consideration.
Whether the voters will agree with them and sanction their
"suggestions" depends upon the quality of the product of he
assombly,
As no one is proposing to repeal or amend the direct primary
law the people have that to fall back upon.
They can weed out the crop planted by the assembly at the
yuiiiciiy cuiu ui uio oioutiun,

REFORMATION OF THE SALOON KEEPER.
There is an Impression abroad that promises of reform on
the part of brewers, distillers, etc, are frequently broken,
On the other hand, the radical prohibition element rejoices
In all manifestations of lawlessness on the part of any one
connected with the liquor business,
It Is a trite saying that If there never had been any law
breakers among saloon keepers there would have been no
prohibition wave of a drastic character,
Reformation of the drinking habits of the people would have
proceeded along educational lines.
The National Model License League has investigated con
ditions in Ohio in connection with the liquor business and has
receved a report which says in part:
"The distillers, brewers and wholesalers of Ohio assure us
that they are unaiimous in the determination to put the law
breakers out of the liquor-business in their; state, Their view
of the situation is that it is suicide to permit infractions of the
law."
Embodied In the Dean law, an Ohio law drawn by the liquor
Interests and successfully supported by them in the legislature,
are the following regulatiens:
No man who is not an American citizen shall conduct a
saloon,
A man who has been convicted of a felony shall not conduct
a saloon,
A saloon keeper shall not sell to minors or intoxicated per
sons, No gambling shall be allowed in a saloon.
No improper females shall be permitted upon the premises
of a saloon,
No lewd or improper pictures shall be exposed in a saloon.
' It is a plain business proposition that law-breaking burts
any business,
The Dean law is the most drastic passed in any state for
the regulation of the saloon,
It provides that any violation of its provisions must result
in the saloon keeper forfeiting permanently the privlege of sell
ng liquor in Ohio, , , , wM
The Ohio Brewers Association and the Ohio Wine and Spirit
Association have sent a poster circular to every saloon keeper
warning him as to the provisions of the law and asking him
to report violations of the law by any of his competitors,
The promise is made that the places of law-breakers shall
be abated as public nuisances,
o
OREGON HAS A STRONG COMBINATION.
From the standpoint of development of this commonwealth,
Oregon has a strong combination in the United States senate,
Senators Bourne and Chamberlain are men who are in a
position to secure great results for their constituents.
In the first place they are men who have never abandoned
a principle which has been endorsed by the people,
One Is a Republican, the other a Democrat, but both are be
lievers in the fundamental principles of popular government.
Bourne plays golf with Taft, lunches with Aldnch of Rhode
Island ,and hobnobs with Rockefeller,
Chamberlain is the favorite of the Southern Democracy in
the senate. , , , , x 1( ...

He mingles with them socially and upon terms of the utmost
nnt;
access to me inner circles ot the ereat nolitical oower
south of Mason and Dixon's line,
Oregon could not be more favorably situated to get results,
The ease with which the Oregon hop growers secured a 20-cent-a-pound
duty proves this.
Let those who will carp at our primary law,
It has given us efficient senators.
