PROF. HARRIS WRITES AGAIN
Washington's Method of Selecting
Candidates For Office —Fine Ap
ple Crop—Prof. Harris Likely
To Visit Us In December.
Garfield, Wash., Sept. 26.
Messrs. Editors Reporter:
I have noted with interest the
sharp contests that have been
waged in your political conven
tions. We in Washington have
no conventions. We have legal
ized primaries and nominations
are made surely and quietly with
out the sui>ervision of the heeler
or ward politicians. It is done
in this wise : All candidates for
office file application with the
county clerk or secretary of State
by paying a fee of ten dollars.
Then all Republican candidates
are placed on one ticket and
Democrats on another, etc. Three
poll-holders and two clerks are
appointed to hold the primary.
The voter calls for the party
ticket he desires and retiring to a
booth puts a cross mark opposite
the name of the man he wishes
nominated. If he wants assist
ance for any cause he can call to
the booth any one of the judges.
His ticket is folded and put in a
box. So he votes or can vote a
secret ballot. Our elections are
conducted the same way except
in the election all the candidates
nominated are printed on the
same ballot. So one can vote a
straight ticket or he can vote for
nominees of other parties. So we
have no whooping, browbeating
and domineering so commonly
seen in conventions and elections.
I have been clerk at every elec
tion since I've been in Wash
ington and have never seen a
dispute or fuss at an election.
In fact I have never seen as mani
as a dozen jjeople at the election
at one time. They all come and
vote and leave the ground almost
immediately. The party boss has
no job here. Now we go on
better. We have in almost
every county a citizen's league
composed ri'the best classes in
all partios. When the league
wants certain legislation this
league interviews each candidate
and learns how he stands on
the measure. Then the league
sends a list to each voter g'ving
the dates, politics and standing
on desired legislation, at the
same time advising the voter to
vote for his own party nominee,
providing he stands right on
desired legislation.
At our last election we de
feated popular candidates on
both tickets because they did
not stand right on local option.
This election we are pledging
our legislators to direct legis
lation.
As this is election year in N.
C. it would be a good time for
the voters to organize a direct

legislation league to demand
legal primaries, direct legisla
tion, initiative, referendum,
recall, etc. etc. Don't wait for
the leaders of parties to organize
you for they will never do it.
They don't want you to rule.
I am sending you under separate
cover our call to organize and a
pamphlet explaining these
| things so that the average voter
can understand them. I am
also sending you a speech of
Hon. Jonathan Bourne of Oregon,
bearing on the subject. Any
one can get this speech by ap
plying to his congressman for
Bourne's speech on Popular
vs. Relegate Government.
Mr. Editor, if you will print
this speech in your paper you
will do your people a lasting
service. In fact if the Reporter
would take up the fight for
direct legislation to stay with
us until it carried it through it
would have accomplished one
of the greatest things passable
for the State. Right here I
want to say that Senator Bowne
has a right to speak, for Oregon
in the best governed State in
the union.
This movement of primaries
and direct legislation, is never
confined to one party, but it is
what a majority of the people
want, irrespective of party.
We have had a fairly good
year out here. Our apple crop
is the best ever, and we are
now getting ready to harvest.
The Garfield Fruit Growers
Union will ship 75 to 100 car
loads. I am elected by the
Union to go with a display to
the National Apple Show at
Spokane, Wash., Nov. 14th to
19th. and at Chicago Nov. 28th to
Dec. 4th.
I trust I shall be able to visit
N. C. from Chicago and see
some of mv old friends.

A charter has been secured in
Virginia for the building of the

This line is projected to run
from Roanoke. Va., to Mount

ties of Roanoke, Floyd, Carroll
and Patrick, in Virginia and
Surry, in North Carclin". The
maximum capital stock author
ized Gy the charter is only s£o,-

but in view of the usual issu
ance of construction bonds this

was increcS id to as large a sum
as that now carried by the Roa

Wealthy Rockinfham Man To Ex
periment On Sand-Clay Road.
Reidsville Review.
Mr. R. P. Richardson is of
the opinion that sand-clay roads
are the solution of the road
problem in this section. He.
says they can be built much
cheaper than macadam and the
cost of keeping them in repair
will also be very much less. He
is planning to build a half-mile
stretch of sand-clay road as an
experiment on the road running
by the R. P. Richardson, Sr.,
. place southwest of town. The
late Col. J. M. Galloway, of
Madison, was also a firm believer
in the advantages of this plan
of road building and urged the
county commissioners to experi
ment on it. We have seen the
I sand-clay roads in South Caro
! lina, and in Johnson county, this
! State, and they were very fine
roads. V
