The Oregon plan of the direct primary,
the Huntley law of 1903. is the plan that
is now receiving most at
The Oregon tention throughout the
d.. country. This plan cannot
be considered fully with
out consideration of the oregon system of
direct government in it's entirety Oregon
was pioneer in going to great lengths
in the direction of abandonment Of the
system of delegation Of powers, and in
giving the public direct authority in both
nominations and in legislation. Its system
comprehends the Australian ballot. the
stringent regulation of the registration of
voters, the initiative and referendum, the
direct primary, corrupt practices act
and the recall. In a speech in the Senate
during the last session of Congress, Sena-
tor Jonathan Bourne of Oregon explained
the workings OF the Oregon system. This
speech was later printed as a document
and applications for 1.SUO,OOO copies of it
have been received from various parts of
the Union.
A feature of the Oregon plan, having
especial relation to the choice of United
States senators by the direct primary, is
what is known as statement No. 1. This
statement. If signed. pledges the candi-
Date Tor the legislature always to vote for.
the candidate for senator who has re-
ceived the highest number of votes at the
general election. United States senators
under this system may be nominated by
their respective parties in the party pri-
maries, and the candidate receiving the
greatest number Of votes thereby becomes
the party nominee Then, in the general
election, the party nominees are voted for
by the people, and the individual receiv-
ing the greatest number of votes in the
general election thereby becomes the peo-
pie choice for United States senator
Under the Constitution of the United
States the legislature must elect the
senator's But as an instance Of how the
Oregon plan works an overwhelmingly
republican legislature in Oregon chose
Gov. Chamberlain, a democrat, to the
Senate, following out the will of the peo-
pie as expressed at the primary and the
polls.

that the company has received two fair
sized orders from western railroads the
question is asked: VIII these cars be

The belief that they will be built
here is strengthened by the fact that
President Hansen is now in Hammond
and that there is air of something
doing" apparent at the plant that has
not been in evidence before.

that men are being taken on every day

No great activity may be expected at
the local plant for 80 to 60 days even
| if the new orders that have been re-
ceived are intended for the Hammond

take that long to assemble the ma 7
