POLITICAL PRIMARIES.

Chapter From ''the School of Politics. -
We print below chapter from
"The School of Politics, (Which is adj
yertised elsewhere in this paper:
THE CALIFORNIAN STATUTE.
The California act of 1895, providing
for "a general primary election, to
promote the purity thereof, by regulat-
ing the conduct thereof, land to support
the privileges of free suffrage thereat,
prohibiting certain acts and practices
In relation thereto, and providing for
the punishment thereof" is the most
perfect pieces of legislation yet de-
vised on this subject. The title Of the
act tells the whole story of this most
needed reform.
1t requires all political parties to
hold primaries ON the second Tuesday
in July preceding the election, at the
same place and hour,and at public ex-
pense.
Any political party that polled three
per cent of the entire vote can hold
primary election under this act.
The county election commissioners
in January select, in the same manner
as jury is drawn, the names of judges
Of the primaries from a list of not less
than thirty electors of each precinct
and publish the same, the names to be
divided equally among the several po-
litical parties. Twenty days before
the primary there is drawn from the
list in each precinct aud published a
name for inspector, two judges and two
clerks, representing the several parties.
The primary officers are sworn, their
duties prescribed, their services paid
by the county. and the primary elec-
tiOn for delegates or candidates of all
parties is held at the same time and |
place in each voting precinct, each |
party voting in different box, but all |
voting on one ballot on the Australian
plan, printed and furnished at public
expense. The polls are open all day,
Ihe ballots are carefully counted and
preserved in the presence of by
and the whole result is GER
-ifed in duplicate and safeguarded as
perfectly as the regular election,
The general primary for preslden-
.ial electors shall be held on the last

THE OLD LAW.

2 THE OLD LAW.
About twelve years ago law passed
= requiring registration Of voters but
was declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court in the case of White VS.
Commissioners. The opinion was by
Judge Waldo and Judge Lord, Judge
Thayer dissenting and holding that
registration was only a reasonable
method for ascertaining who were en-
titled to vote.
4 Registration leagues should be
formed in each community to st udy
this question, read the old law and
the decisions thereon, as well as the
decisions of other states on the laws
they have and ascertain if it is de-
sirable to have a registration law in
Oregon. In view of the coming city
election it would be very interesting
to know just how many actual legal
voters there are in the city.
The papers received will be referred
to committee of three, one of each
party, who will examine the same and
award the prize when it will be pub
lished in this department A free
copy Of THE DAILY JOURNAL will be
sent to any club or school organized |
for this purpose.

debating club to discuss registry laws

cials, and shall vote no other.
As result of unprotected and
easily corrupted primaries, statistics
show that while the debt of all the
states and territories has decreased
S26, 1876, 1852 from 1890 to 1895, the
debt of our fifty largest cities has in
creased from $465, ,61O, ,739 to $685., $685.
539in the same period. While state
and national debt has decreased, the
debt of cities where corrupt politics
are the worst, has increased over $780,
600, 900. The increased debt in all
municipalities of.the ten years pre-
ceding was only $4O,OO0O0O. (See
figures by j. X. Upton, Harper's
Weekly Jan. H. What is the remedy?
A comparison of the present methods
of conducting the primaries in New
York or any Of our larger cities, with
the new California law, should point
out the way to reform
The primary must be placed beyond
the control Of the seltishly interested
office-holding and office-seeking class.
The power to make nominations must
be placed in the hands Of the masses
of each party where it belongs. Thus
alone can government become re-
sponsible to the governed, and with
out this there can be no just or good
government. The principle that OBJ
tains in the old Crawford system, still
in vogue in many of the older states,
and practiced in some Of che largest
counties and citiess Of Ohio, Illinois
add Iowa, cannot be much improved
upon. 1t can be perfected and the
res ult safe guarded and made as sure
and certain to do its work as the
Australian ballot, Under the old
Crawford system there was no dele
gate county convention. In each
precinct the party voters cast ballot
direct for their choice of candidates
for office within the party. The pri-
maries are held all over the county on
the same day and are conducted like
a general election. If there are six
candidates for nomination for repre-
sentative, sheriff, or any county
Office, the voter marks his man for
each Office, and the candidate fer
nomination receiving the largest vote
throughout the county is the party |
for election. This is a
simple and direct plan of nominating.
1t is said that it is cumbersome, ex-
pensive and old-fashioned. But it
cannot be tampered with and corrupt
are impossible.
Under the Crawford system, candi-
dates for congress and delegates to
state conventions are chosen in the
same way
The people of the United States
will never have representative or a
Democratic form of gov
ernment until theysdestroy the pres
ent system of political corruption,
which, with its roots in the congested
populations of our large cities, ex-
sends its branches into every hamlet

same time aud place after due adver
tisement. This is the first essential
as Il prevents repeating and stinula e'
a show of the full strength of eact
party, and brings out the fullest com
petition for nominations. Itrequires
that the election commissioners OF
each county select names from the AS
sessment roll of each precinct, divided
equally between the different
plrties, and from these are
chusen by lot the judges who act at
the common primaries. This takes
out of the power of the boss the selec-
tion OF the officers who conduct the
! primary and certify the result more
often to their liking than according
to the actual result.
The new law then goes further and
prescribes that the canvass must be
public, and in the presence of by
ISLANDERS, the voters of each party
voting directly for their choice of can
didates or delegates in separate bal
lot-boxes for each party, and having
their name and residence recorded on
separate tally sheets. The tickets
are required to be strung, numbered,
sealed and preserved until after all
the state conventions are held. and all
frauds are as carefully safeguarded
against, and as severely punished, as
in the Australian ballot law. The law
has been declared invalid on some
technicality, but the text of the Courts
decision is not yet made public. Press
reports say this just and wise measure |
was thrown out by the Court because |
it was made to apply only to counties
Of the first and second class. a defect |
that was probably well known to be
fatal by some of. the lawyers in the
legislature that passed it. So the
people are thrown back on the old
Porter primary law of 1866 and it's

against whom it is supposed to pro-
ject society. as any law can be con-
'tructed. There is one officer who
opens, canvasses and certities the re-
urn of the primary. The party CEN
raj committee calls the primary and
it the ballots are not pre-
served, and aside from its general re-
)utation as heavenly country, Cal
fornia is entitled to be called the
paradise of the boss so far as the laws
making it easy for him to operate at
'late-making and convention packing
ire concerned. 1t is doubtful if a
people so long accustomed to loosely
primaries would have taken
much advantage of the new law.
While the new law California act is
suspended in the courts. it must be
that most states have no
