YOUNG MEN ORGANIZE.

The young republicans of Pendle-

Of citizenship are falling with urgent
responsibility. should not be less ac-
tive than the young republicans Of
Baker City. La Grande or Portland
IN all of which places organizations
have already been formed.
An excellent organ zation was
maintained here two years ago and
such can be maintained here this
year. 1t is now time to organize
II is never too early to organize to
promote good principles, or to ad-
vance the interests of good govern
ment. Let Pendleton's young repub-
licans show their interest in public
affairs by getting together one of the
strongest organizations in eastern Or
egon.
Organization is discouraged by
many for the reason that the direct
primary law has made parties less
powerful to enforce their dictates.
The direct primary law has not
changed the political sentiment of a
solitary voter. 1t has simply KILLED.
off the political boss.
There is work for every party
member yet There is a great prin-
ciple to keep alive and carry FORWARD
and this can only be done by
honest and conscientious sentiment Of
the Individual voter There is more
republicanism in Oregon today thar
ever before. But there is less boss
ISM there is less machine.
Those who bewail the loss of pow
er through the primary law simpl!
regret that the machine is at an end
Republicanism has been strengthened
by the primary law. The sturdy
fearless voter can now go to the poll
and vote as he chooses without beinI
counted and listed and tagged.
With such men as Roosevelt
Hughes and La Toilette in the lead
there is more in republican princi
Piles today than ever and young me-
have a greater inspiration to organ
ize, and work and vote for republica
nrinciples than ever before.

GUESS AGAIN.

The Vale Oriano, published at Vale,
she county seat of Malheur county
says editorially of the contest over
the congressional nomination:
Has the Pendleron East Oregoni-
an a crow to pick with T. T. Geer
because he ran a good. clean, up-to-
date newspaper in Pendleton in op-
position to its own E. o., or is it be-
cause the editor is an old neighbor
Of Congressman Ellis and wishes to
see his old conrad close his declin-
ing years in the national halls of
congress?"
The Oriano must guess again. The
East oregonian welcomed 7. T. Geer
20 Pendleton as an editor. because he
IS fair competitor, but it objects to
him as a congressional candidate
simply and solely because he has only
resided in this district a few months
and is not entitled to the congression-
ii nomination over the heads of
pioneer residents of the district.
To convince the Oriano and other
papers who may ask similar ques-
don that this paper bears Mr.. Geer
DO personal malice. the East Oregon
ian will repeat that it urged Mr.. Geer
70 run for the United States senate
and would have supported him for
that office in this district.
