| dc.description.abstract | The period from 1890 to 1914 was marked by a series of electoral reforms in Oregon, including: the Australian ballot; the regulation of political party primaries; the registration of voters; the initiative and referendum; the direct primary, with provision for expression at the polls of the people’s choice for United States Senators, and the pledging of legislative candidates to support the people’s choice; the recall of public officials; proportional representation; a corrupt practices act governing elections; the presidential preference primary; woman suffrage; and the requirement that voters be citizens of the United States. The scope of this study is limited to the introduction of the direct primary and its application to the nomination and election of United States Senators, during the first decade of the twentieth century. | en_US |
