lie opinion in Oregon in favor OF
the league with the Lodge reserva
tions.
Every man but ono of the dele
gates elected made a public state
ment that he was for the league
with t"c. reservations. The man
who was elected by the largest ma
jCrity was rot only CUtspoken for
the league, Lut he announced that
il elected he would not vote for
Johnson. This candidate leads the
other delegates by some 5000 or
5000. There is only one Johnson
man on the delegation. The rest
will leave Johnson as soon as they
decently can.
The league entered very fully into
the campaign. Mr.. Hoover advised
his supporters not to urge his can
didacy. but to vote for delegates
who were for the league. He could
not prevent a substantial vote for
him but his advice in respect to-
delegates for the league was fol-
lowed.
Radicals for johnson.
Johnson had his usual support of
the Sim Feiners. the pro-Germans,
the railroad labor organizations and
the radicals. His prestige from the
California election aided him much.
In Oregon one who has not regis
tered as a Republican cannot vote
in the Republican primary. but a
great many Sim Feiners and rail-
road men registered as Republicans
in order to vote for johnson, but
they will certainly not vote for any
other Republican candidate than
Johnson. In other words they are
not Republicans.
The election shows one of those
ridiculous results that we not infre-
quently have from general pri-
maries, and one wonders how long
the people and the parties will be
willing to continue this farce which
is destructive of the usefulness of
parties.
system Not Effective.
A party is useful as its return
to power means the carrying out of
a definite governmental policy. I'm
der the primary system. where can
didates are selected Rot by the loyal
party members, but by factional
groups of the party. the choice is
not controlled by the party loyalty
or interest in the party and its pol
fcies. Such a system does not make
for effective and useful party ac-
ton after a victory is won. The
Oregon election for johnson is like
the Michigan election and like those
in other States in which he gains
the prestige of popular vote
swelled by Republicans and
gets a few delegates who will not
stay with him to the end.
The Oregon delegation can be
counted on as voting in the conven-
tion strongly in favor of the league
with the Lodge reservations.
