THE WORK OF THE VOTER.

The platform adopted and the list
of candidates invited to stand for the
county offices by the democratic
voters of Umatilla county, are the
handiwork of the mass of the demo-
cratic voters of the county and not of,
the bosses.
The direct primary nominating law
does not prohibit public assemblies of
voters. 1t places more power in the
hands Of such assemblages, for under
the law every man aspiring to office
has a right to be judged by the peo-
Pile and not by a convention.
The voters of each party have prin-
ciples which should be placed before
the public. Is it not far better for
principles, than for few bosses to
get together in a back office and for
mulate their own platform and cram
1t down the neck of the voters?
The primary law places the power
in the hands of the people and the
people should make the platforms,
nominate the candidates and do their
own thinking in the public mass
meeting of all the voters.
The East Oregonian hopes that the
republican voters of Umatilla county
hold such an assemblage and give ex-
preston to the principles of the mass
of voters, and not submit to plat
form of the bosses.
Only in this way can a full and free
expression of the strong convictions
of the mass of the people be ascer.
tanned. Back office platforms are
never true to public sentiment. They
alway. have personal aims and end:
and are built for specific purposes
No one need ever fear the popular
will of the people. The oftener the!
hold mass meetings and express theil
inner sentiment the quicker will thu
reign of the boss be at an end.
The East Oregonian has unfalter
ing faith in the mass of the people
1t believes the people are divided b.
the politicians on false issues and tina
more frequent mass meetings, NOR
general commingling. more free ant
full discussion Of public issues in {
practical and common sense manner
will do much toward securing bette
public service.
There has been too much secrec
In politics heretofore. There hav
been too many back office confer
ences and too small number of con
ventions of the people. Now that tn
people may select their own candi
dates, they should also write thel
