FOR A PRIMARY SYSTEM.
A PETITION AGAINST NoMINA-
TIoEs IN EASS MEETING.

-
The Chairman Of the Democratic
Party of the County Asked to
Change the Method OF Nominating
County ofhcials-Tne Evils OF the
Mass Meeting Pointed Out-The
Remedy Suggested.
A petition, addressed TO the chairman of
the Democratic party OF the county. calling
for an sbolishment Of the mass meeting as
means Of nominating county officers and
supporting primary system, Is being cir
culated.
The petition, after a general reference to
mass meetings, points out the evils In them.
10 says:
The size of she city and Of the party has long
since ontgrown the capacity of any ball in Sa-
vannah TO accommodate even the majority Of
the party, with the result that each year q
STEADILY increasing number OF democratic voters
are aOsentinR themselves from the meetings
rather than undergo the discomforts attending
them.
The comparatively small size OF the place of
holding these meetings renders it easy for any
clique or faction TO pack the hall and dictate
the action OF the party; while the usually
crowded condition of the hall makes 1t well
nigh impossible for the presiding officer TO tell
VINO should vote or to decide correctly as to
what the vote on any measure actually is.
1t is fmpracticable IN these meetings 10 con-
nne the vote to those who are regular registered
voters. and the action Of the party Is In danger
OK being influenced, IL not directed, by persons
who are not only not registered voters. but who
may even be sctive, though secret, opponents
OF the party itself.
Because OF these and similar reasons these
meetings have ceased to be IN reality repre-
sentative meetings OF the various elements
composing the Democratic party of this county;
they have outlived their usefulness and no
longer give satisfaction. Party fealty has thus
far mitigated the III effects which might be ex-
pected In such cases, but 1t is impossible to ex-
pect that that large number Of democrats who
have ceased to attend these meetings will con-
tlnue 20 feel themselves bound by the action of
meeting Of this character. at which they were
not present, and which they do not consider
representative Of their wishes and interests. In
this we see source Of dIscord and weakness
which may seriously jeopardize the continued
success of the party
Without attempting TO suggest the details
OF any plan by which the evils of the present
system may be obvIated. the petition sug-
gests that some system Of primary elections
can be adopted which will better subserve
the present needs Of the party, will more
effectually command the respect and obed-
ience of all democrats, and will cure the
chief defects In the present system which
now create so much dissatisfaction.
