There are four Judges Of the Su-
preme Court to be nominated and
elected this year. The Assembly nOmi-
nees for the six year term are F. A
Moore and George H Burnett; for the
four year term, Thomas A Mcbride
and Wallace McCamant- They will
all be nominated and elected. The only
contest is made by Henry J. Bean
against Judge Mcbride and Mr.. Nc
Camant Bean is running as an anti
assembly candidate. although he was
present in Portland when the assem-
bly, met and spent a couple OF days
buttOn-hoIing delegates and pressing
his claims upon them. At the last min
ute he found he could not secure the
endorsement Of the assembly and
withdrew his name Now he knocks
the assembly. He is not related to
Judge Robert :. Bean. who is deserv-
edIy popular as a Judge and as man.
Even the foes OF the assembly should
turn down such a man Judge Nc

AND LOWER TAXES.

Substantial business interests in all
parts of the state heartily approve the
plan OF Jay Bowerman. Acting Cover
nor and candidate for the Republican
nomination for Governor. to fnaugur-
ate a business system in the conduct Of
the states business affairs. Mr. Bower
man proposes. If nominated and elect
ed, 10 consolidate the purchasing pow
er Of the state in a single board
through which supplies for all state
institutions would be purchased in
W whoIesaIe quantities and apportioned
TO the different institutions as required
In the short time Mr.. BOwerman has
been serving as the states chief ex-
ecutive, his observation has convinced
him that the Inauguration Of such
system would effect a saving to the
taxpayers Of at least S5O.060 annually.
Under the system now in vogue.
each Of the seven institutions purchas-
- its supplies separately. As resdlt-
there is a wide discrepancy in the
price paid BY the different institutions
for the same articles For instance. the
state Insane Asylum. which buys
meats in large quantities, paid only
S7.s7 per Ice pounds for the first SIX
months Of this year while the
Blind school paid S12 per 100 pounds
for the same period Even greater
difference is shown in the cost to the
state OF -four USED at these institutions
This product at the asylum cost only
s3-sO per barrel while the reform
school. buying in smaller quantities
and at a different time paid $3.50 for
the same article. Rice delivered at the
asylum and penitentiary cost $5-57
per 100 pounds while at the reform
school the same article cost the state
s525 and at the feebIe-minded home.
$3.50.
1T requires only a very simple
mathematical calculation said Mr.
Bowerman in discussing this feature Of
his platform. TO show concIusively
that an enormous saving Of the tax
payers. money could be made by pur-
chasing all state supplies together
That is one Of the reforms I shall ad-
vocate and, if possible. inaugurate in
my determination to give to the people
OF the state the most efficient. econ
omical and business-lize administra-
ton possible In proposing this re-
form. I feel that I am only respond
ing to a demand on the part Of the
people Of the state that the business Of
the state should be transacted on
straight business principles

Anti-AssembIy Republicans, sO-calI-

Governor and Secretary Of State
Frank w. Benson one Of the most
popular public officials Oregon has
ever had. has been in san Francisco
for several weeks for medical treat
ment and some Of the vipers who live
and fatten of from politics and who
have no other visible means of sup
port. are taking advantage OF the gov
eruor-s absence to circulate lies to the
effect that he will never return alive to
Oregon. As a matter OF fact he is i'm
proving rapidly and will be back soon
after the primaries to take active
charge Of his campaign for reelection
as Secretary Of State. No more fair.
honorable and conscientious man has
ever held public office in this state and
the dastardly attacks upon Benson
should bring him the vote Of every
man who loves a square deal all the

REpUBIIcAN CANDmATEs.

The primary nominating election
viii be held on Saturday CT this week
AS the Friday issue Of the Observer
will NOT reach all parts Of the county
before the primary. the paper viii say
at this time what it otherwise would
have said on Friday
The Observer does not deem it nee
ezsary TO make any extended remarks
at this time on existing political con-
ditIons in oregon The position Of the
paper, which represents the personal
views OF its editor. is well understood
by every reader on its subscription
list. 1t is therefore unnecessary TO
take up the issues of the campaign in
detail at this late day.
The Observer. as a Republican news
paper. desires the election Of Republi-
can candidates It respects the views
and opinions Of the members OF op-
posing political parties. but not TO the
extent Of being willing to have them
meddle in the affairs Of the Republi-
can party. The Republican party has
never won victories BY listening to the
advice Of its enemies. and it viii not
win in this campaign unless it man
ages its own affairs
This newspaper believes the direct
primary Law should be obeyed as a law
Of the state. but it refuses TO read in
that law something which Is not there
something which schening bosses
and self-seeking politicians are trying
10 make believe is there in order to
further their own personal ends and
desires.
The primary law nowhere forbids
the members Of political party from
together to consider mat
tiers for the good Of the party Organi-
alton and to recommend to the
voters suitable candidates for Of
hce. Neither does such assembly
in any manner nullify or set
aside the primary law. Its real effect
is 10 strengthen that law by centering
party efforts in favor Of capable and
worthy candidates and against self
constituted bosses who care nothing
for the will Of the people so long as
they can blind the voters to their lack
OF ability or lack Of honesty by shout
ing for popular rule. The assembly has
taken from no voter any power or
privilege that he enjoyed before the
assembly was held; consequently. 1t is
in no way contrary to the letter or
spirit OF the direct primary law.
Printed below are the names OF the
candidates recommended by the as
sembly. They were selected in a free
and open state assembly made up Of
1900 representative oregon Republi-
cans. duly elected as delegates from
every county in the state. These can
didates are receiving the earnest sup
port OF the Republican State Central
Committee. an organization having as
its only object the success Of RepubIi-
can principles and the perpetuation Of
the Republican party. These candi-
dates were chosen by fair and hon
orabIe methods in the assembly and
can therefore be said to represent the
choice Of the Republican party in Ore
gOn. They are entitled to the enthusl-
astic support and vote OF every Re
publican who desires the success Of
true Republicanism. Here are their
names:
