over people whose placid con-
tentment bespeaks their political
happiness. Selfshness and am
billions have been transformed
and marvellous political regener
alton wrought, if, as is claimed by
many of the Stevens bill support
ers, all political ills and evils can
be traced to the caucus and con-
vention system.
Political Free For All.
Geographically, the town of
Washburn consists of seven town
ships, having a population of
about 1000 and casting vote of
from 1900 to 1,4O0 at each cleo
ton. There are no incorporated
cities or villages in the town. By
com mon consent and custom no
political caucuses or conventions
are held by either party, and any
qualified elector, without other
restrictions than the price neces
sary to pay for tickets, can place
his name before the voters of
that precinct for any town Office.
This is, in fact the condition, and
has been for many years. No
caucuses and conventions have
been held, and it is an application
of just what was attempted by
the Stevens bill in giving the vot-
ers an opportunity to select their
candidates by direct vote. The
Stevens bill however, had machin-
cry enough whirling through it
to make an ordinary voter for
get all about what he was trying
to do in attempting to do it. Here
in Washburn the simplest sys-
tenn that could be devised exists.
The people don't nominate, they
elect direct. The result accom-
plished should, if the predictions
and promises of the Stevens bill
supporters find truthful demon
stration anywhere, show a con,
sequent improvement of the con-
ditions surrounding elections
where the caucus and convention
are not done away with. 1t
seems no fairer test could be ap-
piled than the situation here
affords. No caucus or conven-
tions; a full, free and direct ex-
preston of the people.
What is the result? A free-for-
all fight after office, uneaqualed
in Wisconsin or anywhere else,
in which no better men have been
selected to Office than in towns
where caucus and convention
system prevails, and where poll
ticians, so-called, see that rea-
sonably good men are nominated.
A condition where the minority
elects the man able to make the
greatest number of combina-
tons. Having constantly in
mind the fact that the minority
elect, more candidates are
brought out, until here in Wash
burn, it is stated as fact that at
the last town election there were
over 300 different kinds of
tickets, and for the last four
years from 100000 to 100000
tickets were printed for a voting
precinct which casts only 1900
to ], 4OO votes. The Stevens
bill prescribed the manner in
which man could be placed on
a ticket, by securing certain
number of signers to nomina-
ton paper, and other restrictive
means not difficult to overcome.
while here there is no restric.
ton, only the price of the tickets.
The same minority interest
which pays for the election
tickets here at present could un-
dcubtedly find 3 per cent of the
voters ready to sign a nomina-
ton paper.
With the exception of the
chairman of the board of super
visors, where there are usually
