Mrs. Minnie McCuller, took mis- en-

gone ahead again on the popular leg
islation road.
Oregon has just voted on 80 initla-
tive measures With but one or two
exceptions, the voters OF the entire
state voted right; the bad bills were
killed, the good ones were made laws
A state that gave Roosevelt plur-
ality OF $4,000 and Taft $4,000. in the
state election just past, by decisive
majority, elected Oswald West, Demo
crat, for governor against acting Gov.
Jay Bowerman, a Republican, recon-
mended to the voters nv party as

device created by former U. 3. Sen
ator Chas. w. Fulton and the remnant
OF the old Oregon land fraud ring to
destroy the power OF the direct pri-
mary. The assembly" stripped or
all authority under the direct primary
law. named a regular" Republican
ticket and relied wholly on party
prejudice OF Republican state to
carry II through.
The only reason Oregon elected
West was because the voters OF the
state demanded the absolute right 10

primaries.
With Vests election, and the de
feat OF every assemblyman on the Re
publican ticket, the party leaders ad
NIT that the convention system has
forever died in Oregon.
On top of this. Oregon passed Sena
tor Bourne's revolutionary presiden

Feeling Against Home Secretary and
Other Political Leaders 10
Bitter.

LONDON. Nov. 3o.-The coming
general elections, with the momen-
tous questions they must decide. have
developed violence throughout all Of
England and Ireland. Partisans, real
izing the serious import OF the situ-
alton, seem unable TO control them
selves.
The call for the general election
was met with an unprecedented
apathy in all England. Then when
the people realized that the whole
form OF English government rested
on the outcome interest was awak-
ened to the fever pitch.
Scores OF meetings were last night
broken up with violent scenes and
todays campaigning is almost dan-
gerous to the parliamentary candi-
dates. Scores OF "spellbinders." have
been mobbed In various parts OF Eng
land, while many candidates them
selves have been egged. These out
breaks are not limited To any section.
but are occurring everywhere.
Home Secretary winston Churchill,
who Is taking a most active part In
the liberal campaign. has been made
the special target for personal abuse
and has been attacked a number OIL
times. The feeling against the youns
secretary Is 30 bitter that when he
spoke In Sheffield today, 200 special
policemen had to form square about
him and protect him from his politica
enemies.
The situation In Ireland Is ever
more serious, SO far as physical VIC
lence is concerned. There has moi
been a political meeting at which the
Redmondites and the O'Brienites have
not clashed, many times with serious
