platitudes. 1t will also increase the
expense of preparing the ballot and
lumber them up with a lot or mofe or
less inconsequentia1 matter. besides
compelling the State to perform a duty
which the candidate personally owes
the voters
The prominent features of the Ore
gon law are. Employment of the gen
eral election machinery; it is compul-
sorry; separate ballots for the several
parties; filing by petition and the
optional PRONUNCIATION of personal plat
forms on the primary ballot.
For the purposes of the primary
election act the Oregon definition of
party is an organization that has cast
70 per cent of the Congressional vote,
which is the basis of computation. This
deflnition probably results from the
absence of the comparatively large
number of political parties character
istlc of the older States. That this
condition will endure is scarcely with
in the range of probability and with
the advent of new parties amendments
will be necessary. This will open the
door to primary election law tinkering.
against which every possible precau-
ton should be taken. majority of
the Eastern and Middle Western
States that have adopted primary re-
hensiye, recognize much smaller bod
les as parties. Ordinarily political or
carnations casting not less than 10
per cent of the gubernatorial vote are
given party recognition, and in a few
instances 5 per cent is sufficient This
seems highly preferable. 1t brings
practically all tickets within the pro-
lection Of the primary election law,
strengthens and encourages the
growth Of minority parties And good,
vigorously protected minorities are
healthful Influences
The fling by petition idea has its
roots in the desire to avoid tickets of
unwieldy proportions, prevent the in

nonentities, or the loading of tickets
with stalking horses by practical poll
ticians or corporate influences While
il may admirably serve all these pur
poses, it is not consonant with the
