holding of the primary election by

each political party for itself, respec-
lively, except that the expenses of pub
fishing the notice OF holding elections.

use in general elections.)

purpose of this provision is to per-
petuate the excellent custom now prev
alent in this state of selecting judges
without reference to politics. and to
eliminate partisan considerations. as
far as practicable, in the selection of
municipal ofiicers.)

The Lewis Primary Election
Bill.
GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE PRO-
POSED LAM.

The bill No. $50 Assembly, intro
duced by Hon. VIM. T. Lewis of RAJ
cine, to require the holding of primary
elections for the nomination OF candi-
satCs for Office, and 80 provide the
manner of conducting such preliminary
,lections, is in perfect accord with the
plan outlined in Mr.. La FOllette's ad-
,lress. embodies the best provisions Of
iha Kentucky law and is worked cut
p detail to conform to the general
flutes upon elections now in force in
Wisconsin.
liz provides a simple and complete
system whereby the people are granted
he same privilege and freedom Of
-hoice in the nomination of the candi-
!Ites of heir party, as they now have
= the general election.
II makes the primary election as
such a proceeding of interest. dignity
Gd regularity as the general election,
md of much greater Importance in Sc
curing good men for Office.
Ii provides fer the direct control by
the people of their party organization,
gives such organizations legal standing,
duties spcnsibiiities. and makes
them means TO assist in carrying out
The popular will instead of means TO
Illustrate or enslave il.
II applies the principles of the Aus
tralian ballot and present system of
conducting general elections 10 the pri-
mary election so simply and clearly
that the voter has no new thing TO
learn and wal readily understand it.
IL at once and completely eliminates
the party machine from state and local
politics. makes corruption of voters inn
possible, and abolishes caucuses and
conventions with their attendant
.rcOrbacks," unfairness, sharp prac
tees. selfish trading. want Of delibera-
ton. and consequent dissatisfaction,
Inpleasantness and ill-feeling.
Ii aims to make politics as decent,
seif-respecting aud honest as any otner
important business or civic duty or
transaction. and to give every man a
square and equal chance. whether to
express his preference as a voter. or
o try his strength as a candidate. IL
eliminates craftsmanship from judicial
and municipal elections. IL would save
hundreds of thousands of dollars BIZ
enni9lly.
