LATIMER'S SUCCESSOR,
The General Assembly Will Meet To-
night to Elect Junior United

The New1berry members Of the gen

der the provisions the Federal law.
when a United States senator dies
while the legislature Of MS State is

his successor, and can not elect until
the second Tuesday after notification
Of the death has been received.
Senator Latimer died during th,
closing hours Of the general ASSEM-

after the legislature was notified Of
his death. The legislature took re-
cess until tonight. when ii will meet
at 7.45.

BUGABOO OF MILITARISM.

Taft has been nominated as the
strongest man of the dominent par
ty. He Is a man of splendid capa-
bilities and strong personality. He
will have behind him the united
and enthusiastic support Of the re-
publican party, now strongly en-
trenched in the hearts of the people
because of its u cord of glorious
achievement, the summary OF which
was recently strongly epitomized In
the statement that the republican
party has stood for free soil; free
men; the Union; the payment of the
debt; honest money 4prott)ction to
American industry; the gold stan
dard: maintenance of law and Or
der and of the courts, and govern
ments regulation Of great corpora
tiOns.iFea NHs 5o 4 M
Opposed to this Is the SO years of
democratic record: Slavery; seces-
sion; population of the public
debt: fiat money: free trade; free
silver; the overthrow OF the courts,
and government ownership. The
picture is not overdrawn. 1t is his
tcrically true and can be reread In
the party platforms. More recently
the democratic party has been en-
gagged In fghting windmills. imper-
iaiism and militarism being the ac-
cepteda vehicle colored by their
imagination into giants threaten

STATE PRIMARY LAWS.

Commenting upon the workings
of the new direct primary laws in
various states, the New York Times
notes that while the people Of Ore
gon have voted for Gov. Chamber
lain as United States senator, yet
in the same elections state legis-
lature was chosen with an over
whelmlng republican majority,
while Chamberlain is democrat. 1t
Is the business of the legislature
formally to elect the United States
senator. Each candidate for the leg
islature was pledged to vote for the
peoples choice for the senate as
shown In the election. Clearly
there is some hitch in the system Of
representative government when
the people OF the state choose a re-
publican legislature and command
" to send democrat to the upper
house in Washington. Some of the
oregon newspapers assert that the
registration of voters was false and
fraudulent. Republicans. they in
s'st, were led to believe that their
strength in the state was so great
that any senatorial candidate put
up by them would receive a majori-
ty OF the votes. A weak republican
was pitted against strong demo-
crat. The charges are none too
clear. but representative govern
ment in Oregon has received set
back. "
Obviously. as the ST., Louis Globe
Democrat we'll remarks, "a state pri-
mary law is no royal road to get at
the true will of the people," The
traditions Of representative gov
eminent were set aside lately in
Kentucky. when a democratic legis-
lature elected a, republican United
States senator. for good enough
cause. no doubt, but In defiance Of
the people, who had voted in the
primaries for democrat. The new
primary law in Missouri, bv which
the people will directly nominate
their candidates for state of1icers
and congress-. ia already cansing a
great deal OF confusion. The ma
rhinerv Is complicated. and there is
danger that there NAV be no repub-
lican candidates in some Of the dem
ocratic strongholds.

! latures which would choose a third
of the members of the senate gave
the labor union chiefs a particular
ly powerful incentive for their cru
SADIE. The leading provisions of
their destructive program were reg
istered In their anti-injunction bill
and in the projected amendment to
the Sherman law. BY the former
measure they proposed to abolish a
peculiarly useful weapon of the
courts which had been in operation
in England and in the United
States for centuries. and which has
averted vast injury to person and
property BY their Sherman law
amendment they assailed the Unit
ed States supreme court for declar-
ing that the American Federation
OF Labor was trust In the plain
meaning Of the Sherman act, and
because the court set forth that the
la Dor trust was amenable to all the
penalties Of that statute. just like the
Industrial, the commercial and all
the other sorts or trusts.
The outlook for the country is
bright. All the threatened destruc-
tive legislation is defeated. Much
constructive legislation OF q high
value. including measure for
emergency currency, has been en-
acted. II the present dominant
party carries the country in 1908,
we shall, in an extra session Of con-
gress next spring. have an adjust
ment of the tariff which will bring
it's schedules down to date and re-
move the shackles from every indus
try, All the indications say that
new era of prosperity will soon open
for the country-James w. Van
