AN ACTIVE CANDIDATE.

Even his opponents admit that Geo.
A. Lee is setting new record for
strenuous activity in his campaign for
the nomination for governor. They say
that no one heretofore has approached
his aggressive and spirited method of
campaigning except the late governor
S. G. Cosgrove.
Within the last four months Mr.. Lee
has made one hundred speeches in
twenty-five counties of the state. and
has averaged speech a day for the
last sixty days. Yet he declares that he
Is Just getting started and promises to
set a very much faster pace from this
time forward. A campaign of this sort
is the hardest kind of mental and phys
ical strain, but Lee is thriving on hard
work. He is young, and has taken
such excellent care Of himself that he
Is in as fine physical condition as a
trained athlete and he is possessed of
such spirit, determination and mental
alertness that he delights in a stren-
uous fight of this kind.
Lee likes and believes in the primary
system and from the outset determined
to make his appeal direct to the peo-
pie in accordance with the spirit and
purpose of the primary, and leave it to
others, If they wish, to manipulate
politics in the old way by appeals to
the so-called interests and the suppos-
ed influence Of the powerful few.

This paper is going to hammer away
at registration until every qualified
voter, man and woman, in the three
Oroville precincts has his or her name
on the list, unless there be those who
are Indifferent to the franchise and
hence do not wish to exercise that
privilege. In that case, any and all
kinds of urging will be wasted. This
appeal to register applies to every res
ident of every precinct in the county,
for there is no desire to see full reg
lstration in one precinct and a light
registration In a neighboring precinct.
1t is hoped that no voter is so lost to
the duty of citizenship that he or she
refuses to perform that duty. Every.
body that is entitled to do so should
express preference for candidates for
office before the people. If a large
number should neglect to vote the gov
eminent would be in the hands of the
minority, and too often it is not the
most desirable minority that is always
keen to exercise the power Of the bal
lot. The election this fall Is a momen.

DEMOCRATIC CONSISTENCY.

"The movement toward more popular
government should be promoted
through legislation IN each state, which
will permit the expression of the pref
erence Of the electors fer national can
didates at presidential primaries.
1--WE direct that The national COM
mittee shall incorporate in the Gail Tor
the next nominating convention re-
Quirement that all expressions Of pref
erence for presidential candidates shall
be given and selection Of delegates and
alternates made through primary
election conducted by the party organi-
cation in each state, where such ex-
preston and election are not provided
for by state law" ...
Where did the above straight-for-
ward, unequivocal declaration of pr.n-
ciple come from? Why, the democratic
national platform ,.dopted at Balti-
more in 1912, when Woodrow Wilson
received the nomination for president.
Democratic papers cannot yOwl out
REPUBLICAN Misrepresentation "fals G.
hood" Campaign bunk" when this
plank of a platform upon which Mr..
Wilson stood, and was pledged to sup.
port, is given publicity. Did the demo-
cratic national committee "incorpo-
rate in the call for the next nominal
ing convention a requirement that "all
depression of preference for presiden-
ial candidates" be made through state
PRIMARIES? Not that any body knows Of
1t was never intended that the COM
mittee shold. The expression sounded
like popular government, and that is
not the kind of government the demo-
cratic party stands for. This
plank was only some of the "molasses
to catch flies" spread so thick in 1912.
1t simply goes to show how the demo-
cratic party makes promises without
the intention Of redeeming the same. A
democratic platform is cleverly drawn
up for the single purpose of deceiving
the people. 1t is never the intention OF
the party to live up to its pledges If
1t did so the democratic party would
be an honest party, and democracy and
honesty are not synonymous. Such is
the history of the party in the past,
yet the promises of that party were
never so shamelessly violated as in
the case Of the 1912 document. Only
from the record of the past can we
base expectations Of what will be done
in the future. Considering what the
party did to the 1912 platform it is
easy to imagine what will be done to
the platform of 1916.
No effort whatever was made this
year to secure an expression Of the
people as to choice Of presidential can
didates through the medium of the
primaries. as SO vociferously demanded
in 1912. With the democrats it is the
people be blessed before election and
the people be damned after election
The proposition was dead letter after
its adoption. However, this is only one
OF the many planks Of the remarkable
platform adopted in 1912 that was
never for a moment considered after
the party got into power.

There is a swarm Of republican can
didates out this year for district and
state offices, and almost every mail
brings letters from one or another OF
these ambitious seekers after office
containing long and lauditory articles
setting forth the virtues Of said candi-
date, with vOluminous reasons why
the voter should support him in pref
ference to any or all other candidates
in the field for the same office. II this
paper published all of this campaign
dope of a personal nature there would
hardly remain space in the columns OF
this paper for anything else, including
advertisements. Strange to say. In all
the careful search through this mass
of correspondence we have failed to
find even a postage stamp as compen-
sation for the space wanted. Nomina-
tons nowadays have degenerated into a
self-seeking scramble for place. No
party committee call these candidates
to stand for office. Any man with suf-
ficient money to pay the filing fee can
appear on the ticket at the primary
election for any office he may have a
laundering for from United States SEN
ator and governor to dog catcher. No
party is responsible for these candi-
dates. They are free lances, out for
office. Fitness, ability. availability Is
mot taken into consideration. Many who
file for office have no expectation OF
hope of winning, but feel that the pub
licity they get is cheaply earned. As
individuals this paper has no objec-
tons to any Of the many individuals
who have set up their lightning rods
but 1t is not felt that unlimited space
can be donated fostering these ambi-
tons without remuneration. The. Ga.
I ette has its political leaning, and
when the nominations are once made
| 1t will freely support the choice Of the
party at the primary election. Prior
to that momentous event it does moi
propose to contribute pages Of pub.
licity to every man who feels that he
has been called upon to save the coun'
TRY through the medium of some office
he has his eye upon.
