Mexico Missouri message., 1903-09-17

The Primary Election.
Pine and again 10 recent months
the MESSAGE has made the obser-
vatiQn that the Democratic masses
Of the State are thoroly aroused to
the necessity of clean government.
The voters know this can be ac-
complished only by the election Of
honest, efficient men to Office. They
want men aggressiyely honest, not
merely passiyely so; men who will
openly condemn bribery when dis
covered-not act as witnesses to a
bribery transaction and then con.
ceal itsuntil disclosed by legal in
vestigation and then defend it.
Antecedent to the election come
the nominations. These nominal
tions must be made by the voters
within the party. The plan for
making the nominations is devised
by the machinery of the party.
Now is it to- be by the cOnven-
ton or by the primary election
plant The merits of the latter
| plan are too we'll known in this
county to need discussion.
The convention, except in a few
instances, has long.since been dis
carded in this section of the State.
1t was regarded as too susceptible
of abuse in the hands of the wire
pullers and the fxers.
No plan is as fair as the primary
election, wherein every voter is
given the opportunity to vote di-
rectly for his choice.
No one would think now of pro-
posing anything but a direct vote
of the voters at q primary cleo
ton for the nomination of candi-
dates for the county offices. There
are the same reasons for making
all nominations this way.
If there is not a State primary
for State candidates, ordered by
the State Central committee, there
will be a county primary for them
at the same time county candidates
are selected.
No man is entitled to the vote of
the county in the State convention
who cannot carry it in a primary
election. The feeling of the peo-
pie is that they have the right to
caststheir votes directly for their
choice-frOm governor down to
constable. They know if they ex-
ercise the power to choose their
candidates by direct vote, instead of
delegating this authority to an
agent, they will get their own
choice and the agent will have no
chance to prove unfaithful or be
traded or trapped or cheated into
the support of one who is not their
choice.
AT this time the Importance of
the primary plan for selecting
candidates cannot be overestimat-
ed and must not be overlooked.
This is Champ Clark's district.
We have always been in favor of
the people ruling. Now i'm the
campaign next year every voter
will have his mind made up and
will know who he is for, and ev-
erybody knows that the only GER
tainty of expression Is by means of
the voters own ballot in the pri-
mary election. A
The MESSAGE favors the primary
election plan, most emphatically,
and we say to the Democratic yot1
ers Of Audrain county and the en-
tire State that if you want your
choice of State candidates next
year and are willing that every
Tother voter shall have the same
4 opportunity to express his, then
speak out and work for the pri-
mary election.

The contemporaneous menaces
to our civilization, the tramp aud

600, 900 worth of property. The
stock money in the United States
is So, 400, 100000, which divided
among the 80, 100000 population
gives each a per capita of $50.
Now, subtract what the m illion-
aires own from this So, 400, 900, 900
and you have left $3.50, 100000,
which, divided by $4,000, 200
gives the people only SO per head.
