From The jefferson City Tribune.
The question Of the best method to
be employed in nominating the DEM
ocraiIc state ticket is one to be settled
not by tho oniee-ssaksrs, but by the
people. Moreover. tie administration
should depend not upon what will
help or hurt some politician, but upon
what will insnre to the best Interests Of
the people In general
There are sons politicians, for ex-
ample, who honestly and sincerely
favor the primary plan Of nomination.
They favor il because they think the
party viii be thereby benefited Or be-
cause they believe their political
chances will be Increased. There are
other politicians, however, who are
outwardly In favor Of the primary n
non-commitai on the subject because
they regard such g course as the more
popular for the time at least. They
are willing to "trust the people" OF
course they are. But are the people
willing to trust them3 THAT'S the
question which worries them and not
whether q convention or a primary
is the best way to register the will Of
the people. II DO not favor that
proposition" sail politician recent
~. sit would prove ruinous to the psr-
ty and the State, bat as the people seem
to want il ! favor giving 1t to them"
'sBut would you favor giving them
smallpox il they wanted III" he was
asked. "OertaInly--if they wanted II
aa badly as they do this"
The people who do not want oflce,
who belong to no machine, who are
concerned in booming no candidate,
who are Interested solely In promot-
ing what lie best for Missouri, which
means what is best forthe Democratic
party OF Missonri-these should be
consulted and their judgment should
