The Observer has received from the
"Nesmith County" boosters a printed
argument in favor of the creation of
the county, also a map showing the
proposed boundaries, The zig-zag ap-
pearance of the boundary lines re-
minds one more of a scrap in a crazy
patchwork quilt than of a subdivision
of state. If Nesmith County shall be
created according to the lines laid
down in this map, it will enjoy the
distinction of being the crookedest
county in the United States. AS to the
advisability of creating another coun-
ty out of the territory now embraced
in Linn and Lane, the Observer is not
prepared to express an opinion at this
time. But certain Il is that the map
showing the proposed boundary lines
lends color to the accusation Of the
Eugene and Roseburg newspapers to
the effect that the lines have been
cunningly laid out so as to take In the
cream of the rich land and leave all
of the expensive roads and bridges to
be maintained by the taxpayers of the
old counties. II this is not true, the
Nesmith boosters owe II to their cause
to explain to the voters why the pro-
posed boundary lines were laid out
in such a zig-zag manner.

Let us suppose, for the sake of ar
gument, that there are 1900 Republi-
can voters in Polk County. Let us sup
pose further that six Republican can
didates are in the field for the same
office. With the primary vote divided
anything like equally among the six,
ii would be possible under the existing
law for a candidate to win the nom
nation with less than 300 votes. The
successful candidate might be a man
whom the remaining 1900 voters
would not be willing to support for
office under any condition. Would
such nomination represent the will
of the people?" The Observer thinks
not, and until convinced of the error
of it's reasoning, this paper will con-
tinue to oppose the present happy-go-
lucky, every-man-for- himself system
of nominating public officers. Under
the convention system, whatever its
faults, no man could be nominated
without a majority vote of the dele
gates. Nor will it be possible this
year for any aspirant to receive as
sembly Endorsement unless a majority
of the delegates representing his po-
litical party shall be favorable to his
candidacy. The opponents of the as
sembly plan would have you believe
that the nomination of the candidate
receiving only 800 votes out of 1900,
provided the 300 votes constituted a
plurality, would represent the 'peo-
ple's will" But it is noticeable fact
that these same champions of the
people are usually the first to go to
to the polls and vote for the opposing
party's candidate when some partic-
ular peoples candidate" happens to
be distasteful to them. Hence the sur
prisingly great number of Democratic
officeholders in Republican Oregon.
