NOMINATIONS BY PRIMARY.
Trivial Character of Some of the OBJ
jections offered.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The discussion Of direct primary election
laws now going on before the Commercial
Club committee has developed little that is
new on the subject. Most of the speakers
seem prone to dwell on the few imperfec-
tions that necessarily attach to this system
or any other of making party nominations,
oblivious, as ii were, TO the fact that no
method can be devised absolutely free from
defects. The chief objections suggested TO
the direct primary are, first, that a candi-
date may be nominated who does not re-
ceive a majority of the party vote cast
at the primary. Does 1t not frequently
happen that our state officers from Gov
ernor down are elected by mere plurali-
ties-in fact. seldom by a majority of the
electors? Indeed, only now and then does
the President go in by a majority OF the
popular vote. Very rarely is the successful
candidate OF a party convention where
there are several candidates for the same
office the real choice of the majority of the
delegates. Most convention nominations
are the result OF a combination OF the
forces of several candidates for different
offices by which each candidate secures the
combined strength of the other candidates
in the pool. The combination sweeps the
board, gives no opportunity for delegates
to exercise the p~rerogatiVe of a second
choice, which, If permitted. might secure
the nomination of candidates by a real ma
jority vote.
But the Gods truth of the business is
that our party conventions as a rule are
simply the creatures of our party rings,
bound hand and foot and wholly unrepre-
sentative of the majority of those who con-
stitute the voting strength of the party.
The second objection urged to the direct
primary is that the Independent voter can
take no part in the direct party primary
This ought to make the angels weep. Why
should the nonparty man have a right TO
participate in party nominations? If he is
entitled 10 vote in a Republican primary
he is certainly equally entitled TO vote at
the Democratic primary, and so on, be-
cause he can't tell where he is going to
land on election day. The Independent vot-
er is entitled TO no more rights than the
party man. He is the bachelor of politics,
has no rights in domestic affairs and should
lie compelled to herd alone. Now, what
the friends of the direct primary claim for
ii is that il has no imperfections that do
not attach TO any other system OF making
party nominations; that it possesses merits
thai no other system of naming candidates
has: that IL is in harmony with our general
system of elections; that it brings the re-
sponsibility of government directly TO each
voter; that when put in operation under a
proper system political rings and their
train of evils will largely disappear.

WATSON TELLS HIS STORY
HE CLAIMS HE WAS OUsTED FROM
A PARTNERSHIP.
IL VIII Require $1,000 to sOOthe His
FeeIIngs-Fourth Husband a
Lucky Man-COurt Cases.

John Watson yesterday fled suit against
William c. Lebo and the Varney Electrical
Supply Company for 5000 damages. al
leging that they forced him out OF a part
nership in the Erimus Construction Com
pany. He AYERS that he and Lebo formed
the company March IS. 1901. and estab-
lished their Office in the Stevenson building.
He says their business was prosperous and
paid them from $500 10 800 a month. Not
long ago the company was awarded the
contract for building a power house and
electrical plant at Richmond. Ind, and the
profits from the contract were large. He
says Lebo had the management of the con-
tract. and by COLLISION with the Varney
Electrical Supply Company all the money
for the contract was paid TO Lebo, and he
has not made an accounting to the plain
tiff. He says LebO and the electrical sup
ply company fraudulently claimed an in
debtedness OF 81, 100, and that LebO, without
his knowledge or consent. gave a One-day
note for the amount to the company, and
he and the electrical company then took
charge Of the construction cOmpany's office
correspondence and business, and he was
Ousted from the firm. He AYERS that the
defendants took the name OF the company
and have since been carrying on business
under that name. He says he is unable

he has been damaged TO the amount OF
