bright lights made everything look
cheerful, A short program proceeded
the coming OF old Santa, whose
appearance made the young leap for
Joy and guess who II was. Tue Ferris
wheel which stood on the rostrum
measured sixteen feet from the top TO
the floor and held sixteen cars, well
filled with the necessaries to make all
glad on that occasion. Rev. g. Z.

was excellent aud she received her
well-merited applause. Mr.. Andy

governor-elect, and Is a splendid In
terylewer, being free TO suggest and
offer advice ina manner TO draw
one out. AS railway conYer-
satlons are public property the
Democrat gives few Inter
eating things IL earned. The Cover
ernor's hobby now Is the intensified
prosperity we are having, so general,
and all on account or the Republican
party. The farmers are paying of
their mortgages, or when they have
TO borrow do 80 OF other farmers. The
governors policy politically Is TO leave
we'll enough alone, proceed carefully,
therefore Ia the coming legislature,
the special session having done a
good deal OF work, he would have
the appropriation bill and few
others passed and then adjourn, oc-
cupylng not over thirty days. IL would
leave a good impression on voters. The
governor Is In favor OF state fair at
Salem with an appropriation for IT,
He believes In the sugar bounty bill
for the La Grande sugar beet raisersi
stating that all states have allowed
such bouDties when such factories
we're started, but would limit the ap
proprlation To $4,000, which the bill
will provide for. In referen ce TO dl-
plomas for graduates OF the normal
schools without examination which
will be asked for, he is in favor OF
placing the graduates on the same
footing with other teachers.
In hIs message the goYernor.el eel
will enlarge upon our improved condl
tions aud the general prosperity, but

enough alone will be guarded in his

mary by the citizen, only puts
through another slate arranged for

In Ohio a direct nomination law
for cities OF the first class was adopted
but IL permits party TO elect dele
gates IL its managers prefer. or
course, they "prefer" not TO see their
machine prestige destroyed, so under
the Ohio law the machine remains In
control. The primary "reforIn" bills
In New York and Illinois have given
the people no relief.
This proposed Oregon law Is not
perfect, nor would IL probably work
well in all cases. But the present del
egate system works badly In so many
cases, that there would be no danger
in letting the voters Of party try
"direct nomination" at their own ex-
pense II they see DC TO.
Copies OF this issue will be sent u

primary reform In all parts OF the
United States. All such are solicited 70

ect. The writer has spent i've years
trying to tlnd a solution OF this prob
lem. The WEEKLY CAPITAL JOURNAL

PRIMARY REFORM.

THE JOURNAL has been pioneer
advocate OF nomination OF all candI-
dates for public ONCE by direct vote
OF the people. This is the general
custom In all southern states, from
United States senator TO constable.
1t is also the custom OF some Of the
counties OF the middle states like
Pennsylvania and Ohio. But IL Is
not the general law OF those states
and their political corruption grows
out of their delegate state conventions
and In their large cities like Cia-
cinnatl, Cleveland, Plttsburg, Phlla-
delphIa and others.
The law proposed In this issue al
lows any political party ln any county
70 adopt direct nomination at It's own
expense aud lepallzes the nominations
made. 1t Is in effect the principle OF
the initiative applied 10 the filling OF
elective offices. Nomination is the
initiative, and election is the referen-
dun.
The primary reform laws adopted In
York, Illinois, Ohio, and other states
all provide forlelection OF states OF
delegates who go into convention
and make a ticket. The slate OF del
egates Is arranged by the machine or
boss, aud after II is voted at the pri-
