A DEMOCRATIC CALL
CENTRAL COMMITTEE NAMES
FEB II AS THE DATE.
Meeting Is for the Purpose of Desig
mating Campaign Managers at
Primary Election April 90.

w. d. Cham berlain and David Tay-
lor, democratic County Central COM
mittee of North and South Athena
precincts respectively, attended a
meeting of the central committee Sat
urday in Pendleton, pursuant to call
of Chairman A. d. Stillman.
The meeting was one of great har-
mony. Speeches were made by most
of those present and all said that they
thought they were fulfilling the will
of the people in abdicating the throne
at this time and thus meeting the die
tates of the direct primary law.
On February II a contention of
democrats will place in nomination
men who will go upon the party ticket
for election at the primaries as new
county central committee and this
new body, when elected, will at once
take up the reins of the democratic
management in Umatilla county.
Governor Chamberlain has been
invited to attend the meeting, and it
is expected that he will be there when
the appointed time arrives.
Those who attended the meeting
and who decided that the old central
committee should pass out of existence

The call as issued to all democrats
of the county and prepared for the
press is as follows:
''To all Democrats In Umatilla
County: This county central COM
mittee has managed the campaign Of
1904; has maintained the party or
ganization and integrity; has complet-
ed the work assigned to it and is now
ready to report back to the entire DEM
uoratic party in the county.
"a decent regard for the rights of
all democrats in this county who are
not members of this committee COM
pels us to return our powers to them
at an early date SO as to enable them
to prepare for the next general cleo
tion to formulate and publish declar-
alton of principles, provide for the
needs of the various parts Of the coun-
ty, and generally exercise the right of
initiative that properly belongs to the
whole people. To continue our own
control of the party in this county
beyond this time would be treason
able uusurpation, without shadow of
