APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT.
To Intervene Between CattIemen and
Sheepmen in West.

Portland, Ore, March 23-An Ore
gOnian special from Salem. Ore. states
that according to a letter written bv
Governor Chamberlain to President
Roosevelt, serious trouble is brewfnR
between the sheepmen Of oregon and
washington. The letter states thas
three-quarters Of that part of Wenaha
forest reserve located in oregon has
been allotted to Washington sheep
raisers, while Oregon men are given
only one-quarter On the other hand
no Oregon sheepnen is given any Of
the range in that part Of the reserve
located in Washington. Governor
Chamberlain says he is informed that
at & meeting of sheepmen and wool
growers held at Walla Wa1la Deem
Der Is last, a committee Of sheeDmen
was allowed to allot the range and that
as Washington sheepmen predonina-
ted on the committee they took prac-
tically everything. The governor IN
his letter charges that c.. NJ. Schuitz
chief ranger Of the reserve and CHIEF
FORESTER Schiller Of Washington nave
all their interests in the state OF
Washington and that both federal Of
ficers allowed the allotment to stand.
The letter asserts that many Of the
Washington sheep are affected with
"sca bies," which viii be brought into
oregon, and because of the fact that
the sheep viii be on government range,
the state authorities are powerless TO
do anything in the way Of inspection.
The governor asks that the president
order that an investigation be made.

Wisconsin Ways.

One Of the theoretical objections to
the primary reform laws OF Michigan
and Wisconsin is that they do not re-
qure majority vote to nominate, but
only plurality If there are half doz' n
candidates for any Office, and the votes
are pretty evenly divided between
them, one may be nominated by
plurality, which plurality may be
majority OF barely one quarter Of the
voters. Whenever there are more tnan
two Candidates, the nomination will
always be liable TO be made by
minority Of the voters. A candidate
nominated by minority may go into
the election campaign with majority
OF the voters against him. or, at least,
preferring some one else.
To avoid this defect in the law the
Wisconsin democrats propose to hold
caucuses and con yentions before the
primaries, at which the party leaders
and such voters as attend will consult
and caucus, and choose by majority
vote OF those present the candidates
deemed strongest, and so make up
ticket, which ticket will be recon-
msnded TO the voters at the primary
elections and, thus recommended, it
will probably receive strong major
ity of all tho votes cast Ii any can
| didate, however, is so bad or unpopu-
lar as not to receive majority vote,
the people themselves at the primaries
Will reject him and put another in his
place.
Such ticket, so chosen, will have
the great advantage of being backed
all through the campaign by salts
fled and united party, we'll organized
and advised.
The republicans, under Governor
LaFollette's advice, proposed to OBJ
tain majority nominations by amend
ing the primary law, so that each
voter at the primary election should
vote his first and second choice for
each Office; when, by adding the first
and second choice together, each cam
didate nominated should have a ma
jority. But the democrats and anti
Toilette republicans combined and
defeated Governor LaFollette and his
plan in the legislature.
If the democrats nominate by their
plan: and If the republicans do not
consult and caucus together. but let
each republican candidate go to the
primaries with the party unorganiZed
and unadvised, every candidate going
as he pleases, probably more than half
Of the republican ticket will be mi
norlty nominees, not the choice of a
majority OF the party voters. which
might place metropolitan ticket and
party under u great disadvantage ali
through the campaign.
Which Of these plans is best? The
republicans Of Michigan may well be
gin to study this question, or to in
quire If better plan can be invent
ed, If they deem any necessary. No
doubt the party leaders have ALREADY
considered the matter somewhat; bat
the RECORD presents the facts with
fair lmpartiality, SO that every voter
in each party can plainly understand
their signficance. -Petoskey Record
