McAdam, the Democrat is a former
Confederate soldier. l stayed with
him two nights and enjoyed his hospi-

Mrs. McAdam served fried chicken for

F. E. Lamport, son of B. F. Lam

The Oregonian wants to know the
difference between the Republican
assembly that nominated two su-
preme court justices and the lawyers
assembly that nominated their oppo-
nents Well. here's the difference.
The lawyers assembly was held in
accordance with law and in conform
ity with both the spirit and the let
ter of the statute. The Republican
assembly was held in violation of law
and contrary to the spirit and letter
of the statute. That is one differ
ence. Another difference is that the
idea or principle of the lawyers as
sembly is that judges ought to be
chosen without regard to politics.
The idea of the Republican assem-
bly, is that judges ought to be chos-
en- according to politics, These diff
ferences are easily demonstrated
The law provides for the nomina-
ton Of candidates by assemblies of
100 electors. by petition of a per-
ceutage of voters, and by primary
elrctions. Political parties cannot
nominate by assemblies nor by pc
tition. They must nominate by pri-
mary election, and in no other man
ner. Poll ical parties are defined as
organizations that have cast GER
tain percentage of votes at the last
preceding election The Republican
party and the Democratic party are
the only existing political parties in
Oregon under that definition. All
other groups or bodies of citizens
than these political parties must nee
essarily nominate their candidates
and promugate their ideas through
either petitions or assemblies which
are provided by law If the Republi-
can assembly had been an assembly
of electors held under the same pro
visions of law as the lawyers assem-
bly,. and not purporting to be an as
sembly representing the Republican
party. it would have been legal. But
the Republican assembly arrOgated
to itself the character or quality oil
a body representing the Republican
party. It adopts a platform in be-
half of the Republican party It sem
a wire to the president of the United
States in behalf of the united Repub
1icau party. All its speakers con
graduated the assembly upon beinf
the united Republican party. Al
that is illegal. That assembly was NJ
more the Republican party than the
other fifty or sixty thousand Republt
can voters in this state. The trutl
is. under the primary law, tie Repub
lican party consists of its voters, ant
not of any assemblies. But the Law
has wisely authorized any hundred
electors to nominate candidates upol
any proposition whatsoever, so Ions
as they do not undertake to represen
either of the political parties. Th
lawyers assembly was composed o
men of all parties. The holding o
that assembly was a way provided b.
law by which these men could pro
mulgate the principle of a non-po
litical judiciary and nominate
ticket and submit to the voters o
the state both the idea and the ticket

UNITED PRESS LEASED WHEEL

Dodge City. Kan, Sept. 12.-Any
action of the pro-Ballinger members
of the BallingeT-Pinchot investigat-
ing committee may take when they
meet tomorrow in Chicago will be
void. in the opinion of Representa-
tive Madison, Republican, of Kansas,
a member of the committee, who is
at home here today, following last
weeks meetings of the committee in
Minneapolis.
"The Chicago meeting will be ir-
regular" said Madison. 1.-THE secre-
tary of the interior attended the Min
neapolis meetings, and kept full
minutes. We adjourned after adopt
ing a report. All that is in the min
utes he kept. Although the chair
man of the committee ruled we had
no power to do anything else, we did
have power to adjourn. Since ad-
iournment has been taken, any ac-
ton taken in Chicago tomorrow will
be parliamentary, as well as un-
just"
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota
chairman of the committee, called
the meeting scheduled for tomorrow
in Chicago. His action followed sew
eral attempts to secure a quorum at
the Minneapolis meeting last week
Every anti-Ballinger member Of the
committee has announced his inten-
ton of ignoring the call.

As to the second difference, the
nominees of the Republican assem-
bly, are making their canvass upon
the proposition that they ought to be
elected because they are Republican
nominees, and nominees also of this
illegal Republican assembly. No can
didate for judge ought to claim any
consideration by reason of his polit-
ical opinions or affiliations. He can
do his party no good, IL he is honest
in the discharge of his duties, and
judicial offices ought not to be con-
sidered as assets for rewarding poll
ticians for political services. If, as
these gentlemen say, they are disre-
garding politics on the bmch. what
party reason can be given for elect
ing them to the bench? They are
left, therefore to the last remaining
argument, which is that they ought
to be rewarded by these judicial Off
ces for having served a political par
ty. That idea is the one that the
lawyers seek to eliminate from the
politics and elections of Oregon.
