EDITORIAL COMMENT.
An Oregon View of Our Primary.

The primary election in Washing
ton Tuesday furnishes an opportunity
for journalistic champions of stand
patism and ring rule to attack the
primary nomination law, though, on
examination, their criticisms and
complaints are found to be mostly
mere windy, vagrant railing, without
any apparent conception of the real
reasons and purposes behind the law.
We are told that it produces "disor-
der in the ranks of the majority
party, that unfit men present them
selves for Office, whom the people
nominate by pluralities only, AMI
that, in word, it is disorganizing
and disconcerting sort of system
But we see nothing yet in the re-
suit in the state of Washington to
discredit the law The undoubted
choice of the majority of the repub-
licans, or at least a large plurality,
has been nominated for senator, and
will without doubt be elected, nearly
all nominees for the legislature being
pledged to vote for the primary cleo
| ton nominee. A republican conven-
might very likely have renominatei
Senator Ankeny, for he has great
means of bringing about such re-
suit in a convention of politicians.
but the people think that they will be
better represented by a different man.
At least they prefer Jones to Ankeny
and that is an all-sufficient answer
to all objections.
So in the case of governor. There
were three strong and several weak
err contestants. In such a case voters
must vote for both first and second
choice, and if no one has forty per
cent of the first-choice votes the Sec
ond choice votes are also counted,
and the nominee is thus determined.
1t appears at present that Mr.. Cos
grove is clearly the choice under the
law. Nearly as large a percentage
of republicans voted for Mcbride and
also for Mead as for Cosgrove, and
other candidates were voted for, but
more votes preferred Cosgrove than
either of the others, and so he be-
comes the nominee. No one, with
three or more candidates, could get
or could expect clear majority of
first1choice votes. A plurality is suf-
ficient, is fair, and is a necessary test.
Under the convention system men
are frequently elected to Office by
only a plurality of a narty'S vote nv
perhaps So per cent or SIS per cent or
20 per cent of the total vote polled,
and nobody complains about that. So
to say that Jones or Cosgrove or any
other nominee received only plural
ity is an objection without merit, and
is made merely to try to create an
ill-founded prejudice against the
primary system.-Oregon Journal
