MILFORD

Milford, June 26.-(Specia1 to The Times-Farmer.)-Th Fort Trumbull Beach Fire Company have made record in connecting the engine with the hydrant. From a dead stop, 500 feet from the hydrant, on Trumbull avenue, they started Chemical No. 2 to the hydrant, laid 100 feet of hose, attached the same to the hydrant and turned the water on in the remark ably short time of 53 seconds It took them 1 minute and 35 seconds to do the same work and attach two lines of hose to the hydrant. This is tf fastest time ever made by any team in Milford and 1t is believed that it will be some time before 1t is beaten or even equal1ed. The test was made
 under the direction of Captain Elmer
 Overton who was much gratt1ed at the showing of the men.
 It having been found necessary to have more help at the Taylor Me
 morial Library during the summer rush. Miss Marion Bridge, has
 been engaged to help out three or
 four days a week during the rush. The Livingston property at Gum and West Main streets has been pur> chased by Emil Dion of Bridgeport: who will take possession on August first.

CONVENTION OR PRIMARIES?

There is an ever increasing discus
sion of the question, rs the direc
primary system as successs" with the
negative side constantly gaining re
cruits. This change in sentiment has
not manifested itself so strongly in
Oregon as il has in other states, but
il is growing and eventually there is
going to be a change here as else
where, for the people are beginning
to take serious cognizance of the
many weak spots in the direct pri-
mary system.
Commenting on an article in the
Evening Post OF New York, the Ore
gonian says:
The New York Evening Post is in
formed by its observant correspond
ent, David Lawrence, that the PRO
gressive west is virtually ready to
discard the primary, or at least to
amend it so that the party convention
shall be in effect restored" This
conclusion is reched after Mr.. Law
renee had sounded sentiment in Id
aho and several other western states
but not in Oregon, Washington or
California. Idaho restored the con-
vention system as corollary Of the
direct primary at the last session OF
the legislature. Nebraska had previ-
ously returned to the older system
and Minnesota is wrestling with it.
1t is probably premature to say
that Oregon. Washington and Cali
fornia are virtually ready to restore
the political convention, though there
is greater frankness concerning de-
ficiencies Of the direct primary re-
marked among those who are not or
dinarily listed as confirmed politi-
ticians. The politicians themselves
are still divided between those who
profited from the old-time convention
and long for its reinstatement, and
those who did not profit from the
convention but now either derive !
some personal benefit from the pri-
mary or still hope to do so.
The objectional features that Mr.. I
Lawrence points out in the Post are
generally admitted: 1t produces in /,
ferior candidates in many instances;
there is no direct responsibility for
improper nominations; no man with .
out money and willingness to spend
il can hope to defeat an organized
candidate. To which may be added
that it promotes multiplicity OF
candidates which in turn at first ere
ates despair Of proper selection and
The evening herald. (Klamath Falls, Or.) 1906-1942, 1919-05-03

finally produces party apathy an
governmental indifference among th
voters.
But Mr., Lawrcnce's letter is mos
interesting in its designation OF tn
real instigator OF return To the con
vention. The non-partisan league I
the one named, This leagues pro
cess OF gaining control OF state gov
ernment has been to invade u regu
lar party's primaries and capture tn,
name and organization. In Nortl
! Dakota the uon-partisan league mem
bers are known politically as repub
licans; in Idaho they are known as
democrats. With this explanation Il
is understandable why OPPOSITION tC
the primary eliminated so much
sooner in Minnesota, Idaho and Ne.
braska.
In the Pacific coast states the non
partisan leagues activities have been
inconseQuential. In oregon some
thing like the counterpart Of its pol
icy is practiced by other political or
ganizations and has caused protest.
Members OF minority parties have
gone unblushiugly into the republi-
can primaries and attempted to in
fluence nominations, Whenever sue
cessful, this practice has resulted in
nomination of weak candidates. II is
perhaps not wholly accurate TO say
that the invaders deliberately in all
instances pick out inferior men with
hte idea that they will be defeated in
the general election. Inclination to
get into every political fray to which
the way is open is irresistible TO many
men, and the majority party's in !
ternal contests are usually the liveli- !
est and most interesting
But it is a definite rule that the re-
publican who is most acceptable to
he democrats Is not usually accept
lble to majority of republicans. Oc-
the balance OF power OF
democrats voting in the republican
has been felt with the ulti-
nate election Of democrat to office.
or the democrats who vote in repub-
lean primaries invariably return to
heir own party in the general cleo
ion. Still, deliberate attempts by
democrats to nominate weak republi-
ans have been seriously suspected.
After much experience and unpro-
luctive protest Oregon now looks
Ipon this practice with partial de-
'ree Of fortitude. but not such forti-
ude that the decline Of the direct
primary elsewhere is viewed with
ismay, or that the subtle processes
4 the nonpartisan league would not
e resented in this state. 1t Is not
nsafe to predict that the future
ut not the immediate future-will
ring forth a rational nominating
ystem in Oregon. one which does not
holly commit selection OF candi-
ates to steering committee or other
lethods OF manipulating conven-
ons, nor continue It under the pres
Mt free-for-all self-aggrandizing pro-
ess. Widespread admission Of the
rimary's defects is an early sign.

 fies. This was revealed by cor
 respondence made public tonight

 ment.
 There was no information in off, cial circles IS to who the President had in mind for the Paris post, but af the time the resignation of Vance Nc Cormick as chairman Of the demo cratic national committee was made known by the Associated Press last month it was said that Mr. Mccormick would become ambassador to France
 Mir. Mccormick is now in Paris, hav- ing been summoned there by the Prss- ident more than a month ago for work in connection with the peace confer ence. When he left Washington he told friends that he expected this woik would occupy him for several months at least.

BIG GAMBLING DEN RA|DED BY POLICE
 0F NEW ORLEANS
Captured Paraphernalia In- cluded Race Track Betting Outfit, Telegraph Instru-
 ments and Blank Forms
By Associated Press


 New Orleans. February 14.-Pc-
 lice rnided richly furnished
 apartment in Governor NichoIIs
 street today after complaints had
 been made by wealthy visitors
 from Sacramento, Cal. Chicago
 and other cities that they had lost
 large sums of money through
 bogus race betting scheme.
 Three men found in the apartment were arrested. They gave their names as Harry Moffitt of Kansas City and James Jackson and Thomas Kennedy of New York city, but Police Superin- tendent Mooney said tonight that Moi fit had admitted his right name was Robert w Sterling. and that his home was in Chicago, while Jackson had said he was James Shockley of Rapides parish, Louisiana.
 Shockley. according to Superintend- ent Mooney. admitted that he was a gambler and that he had operated in Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The police said Ken nedy had claimed he was a travelling salesman for a Pittsburg firm and that his home was in Youngstown, O.
 All three men denied they were op- erating a gambling house. Moffitt or Sterling. said he had rented the house for a friend. to whom he was prepar- ing to ship the paraphernalia taken by the police. while the other two men said they had just dropped in.'' The paraphernalia included, the police said, complete race track betting outfit, telegraph instruments and black boards, such as are used for stock and grain quotations, stock sheets and forms for writing stock shares. Teie- phones installed in the place had no outside connections, according to the authorities.

Congress IS Silent On
 League ofNations Plan

plause but without any marked demon- stration or subsequent debate.
 Disposition was evident on the part of leaders in both bodies to suspend both judgment and comment until after most careful consideration. Several senators said they expected soon to speak on the plan. Opposition was regarded as certa in to come from some members of both Houses who opposed any kind of interna- tional organization.
 From the animated private discussion it appeared the question of enforcement of the leagues decrees was of princi- pal interest. From cursory reading of the draft several of those who havo been following the proceedings in Paris most closely thought the provision for economic pressure by league members the principal force as a war preventive.
 Wide difference of opinion regarding the disarmament provisions seemed pre- valent. with doubt existing regarding the extent to which a disarmament policy could be dictated or enforced.
