HHE Oregon primary election law
is commercially complete, and.
like the Minnesota and Wisconsin
laws, has met with instant and
unqualified popular approval. 1t diff
fers only in detail from the Wisconsin
law. Oregon has splendid registra-
tion system, a modification of and gem
orally considered an Improvement over
the New York system, on which it is
modelled. Like the Wisconsin law, it is
cumbersome, involving as it does a
system of petitions and petition veri-
fication. Like the Minnesota law, 1t
provides for the preservation of party
integrity by separate partisan ballots.
And in this particular goes a step far
ther than the Minnesota law by pro-
viding for the numerical registration
partisan afHliation, in addition to the
challenge at the primary polls.
1t embraces the nomination of SUBJ
stantially all public officials from
United States Senators down to con
stables and all municipal officials in
towns of 1000 or more Inhabitants.
The popular nomination of candidates
for the United States Senate are, of
course, only recommendations to the
Legislature and candidates for the
legislative assembly may sdisavow any
intention to be bound by the verdict
of the primary election ballot boxes.
This disavowal is. however. to be made
in connection with the fling affidavit,
and so made can scarcely escape cam
paign publicity. In this manner the
voter is enabled to insure by his bal
lot, so far as anything legislative can
be insured. the attitude of his repre-
sentative howard the candidates for
the Senate.
One feature of the Oregon law. un-
known in other States is the provision
for printing for each candidate a brief
personal platform on the official bal
lot. This is at the election of candi-
date. 1t may have the virtue of put
ting the electorate in touch with the
views of the candidates inviting party
nomination. But since this platform
is by the terms of the act confined to
twelve words, 1t will apparently have

The purpose of direct primary laws
is the elimination of boss methods,

with Confession.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Mrs. Margaret Les
lie, the actress found dead in her room
in the Palace hotel last Thursday, did
not commit suicide, as was first sup
posed, but was murdered.
Herbert H. Nicholas, theatrical
agent, has confessed that he aided in
the murder and that George Leopold,
a drug clerk for whom the police are
now searching, was his accomplice.
The woman s diamonds and her money
were the motive for the crime. -s,..,a
Nicholas said that he and. Leopold
went to the woman's room Wednesday
night and after few moments con
versation he suggested that they have
a drink, producing a bottle Of whisky
Mrs: Leslie was taking off her jewels
at the time and her back was turned
toward them. While in thisssposition,
Leopold, according to Nicholas, seized
the woman by the throat and choked
her into insensibility. - 'ss4/
Throwing her on the bed they placed
towel saturated with chloroform ovel
her face. The men then took some OF
the woman g garments and tied them
| tightly around her neck. Selling her
jewels, which were valued at $4,000, the
! men turned on the gas jet, hurried
out of the room and left the hotel.
| It was the anxiety on the part Of
Nicholas to realize money on the jewelry
which led to his arrest. Detectives
working on the case found some of the
diamonds in pawnshop and they were
traced to Nicholas.
