Democrats Ignore Prlmaries-sen-
ator Clark OF Wyoming, who Is stand
ing for reelection, has been spending
some days in New York. Senator Clark
charges the Democrats of his state
with ignoring the primary law, which
was an Issue In that state for years
but which the Democrats always dis
liked. The Democrats have entered
no candidates for the Senate in the
primary race, although It is, according
to Senator Clark, their purpose to run
the present governor, John b. Ken
drlck, wealthy cattle man. This
they will effect by having his name put
on the ticket by petition, after the
primaries have been held. BY this
means Mr.. Kendrick will be saved
from that scrutiny by the voters which
is inevitable where candidate runs
In the primaries, and which is one of
the most beneficial features of the
primary system. Gov. Hughes will
open the campaign on August 25, at
cayenne.

Republicans Fighting-The Republi-
can nominations for Governor of and
Senator from New York apparently are
not to be made at the dictation of the
party convention, but will have to be
fought out in the primaries. Gov.
Whitman was renominated by the con-
ventiOn and former Rep. Calder was
named for Senator. Their claims are
to be contested, however. Robert Ba-
con, who serced with credit as First
Asst. Secretary of States and for thir-
ty days as Secretary of State, under
Mr.. Roosevelt, and was later Ambassa-
dor to France, will make a contest in
the primaries for the Senatorial NOM
nation, while it is expected that Har-
vey d. Human will make a contest
for nomination for Governor. 1t is too
early to predict what effect these con-
tests will have on Republican chances
but the leaders do not seem greatly
worried by the prospect. In the case
OF the Democrats a compromise was
reached in the convention whereby
Tammany named William +. McCombs
for Senator and Messrs. Wilson and
McAdoo named Judge Samuel Seabury
for Governor, so that the Democratic
primaries promise to be a cut and
dried affair.

Hughes Record Helps-When Mr..
Hughes said at Fargo, I'D like to
have authority to Investigate this ad
ministration for six MONTHS" every
body cheered. Why? Because Mr..
Hughes reputation as an efficient and
merciless Investigator had gone before
him. His audience remembered the
thorough and merciless investigation
to which he subjected the insurance
companies and they recalled, too, that
II made not the slightest difference to
him whether it was corrupt contribu-
tions to the Republican or to the Dem
ocratic campaign funds that he was
exposing. People who have been pay
ing special taxes, stamp taxes, income
taxes, corporation taxes, etc, for the
last three years, with the prospect or
paying more when the pending rev.
enue bill is passed, would like a
Hughes investigation, not only of the
present administration but of all prev
ious administrations, that there may
be some check on the gross extrava-
sance of public expenditures. the Grim
inal waste of the peoples money.

WHY POLITICS AT ALL?

In communication in Tuesdays OregOnian someone
signing the initials A. B. s. writes concerning Secretary
of State OcOtt His main contention is that Mr. OcOtt is
democrat This in spite of the fact that he nom
mated and elected the republican ticket However, the
republican nomination is something with which we have
nothing do yet the fact is that there why
politics should enter into the matter at ALL What differ
ence does it make to the state whether officer is
democrat republican or some other political faith? No
state officer with the exception of the governor pos
sby have anything to do with national affairs, and the
governor only in remote way, that he might in case of
vacancy in a senatorshp that of congressman fill the
vacancy Outside of this rather remote contingency not
state officer has the least thing to do officially with
politics.
So long as are selected for office account of
politics the public expect some pretty poor officials
sometimes 1t would be just sensible to select man
for place because he Mason or an Odd Fellow, a
Baptist Methodist some other religious faith.
The only differences between the policies of the two
leading parties the principal of which was the tariff have
been practically wiped out and there is little real differ
ence except in name
The reason for electing either Mr.. Moores or Mr..
Ocot should be their ability to conduct the office eco
nomically and we'll That should be the only for
selecting any of the other officers
