his business or duty. Not for the life

throng of people moving toward a gate
with a view toward an outgoing train
a stout man in gray suit he elbowed
his way through until he had slipped
the letter into the pocket of the man in
gray and then dropped back out of the
crowd with the contented sigh of one
whose duty was done. AS he stood In
an open space hopping his forehead in
a dazed sort of way another stout man
dressed in gray touched his shoulder
and said:

Platform Promises ignored.

Roseburg Review, Feb. 8. In the
Oregon senate last Saturday a bill
for direct primary elections was de-
feated by a tie vote Among those
who voted against this measure was
Senator Marsters Of Douglas county.
This action comes as a surprise to
many of his constituents as the plat.
form upon which he carried on his
campaign and was elected in June,
1900. spoke very plainly upon this
point. Among the resolutions adopted
by the Douglas county Republican
convention of that year was the fol.
lowing
Resolved, That the Republican par.
ty Of Douglas county are in favor Of
the enactment of what is known as
the primary election law in order that
the people may. at the primaries, Sc
lect the men they deem most suitable
for nomination for the various offices,
and thus do away with the interfer.
