Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-10-12

who haS any interest In the party Will have an opportunity to express an opinion on the work of the committee one way or another.
 Democrats who believe in seeing the party properly organized are very much in favor of the adoption of the new rules, because they will bring order out of chaos and put the party in q position to conduct primaries with a reasonable assurance that the will of the majority and the intention of people who vote that ticket shall be compiled with. A political party, like any other organized body, cannot make much headway without rules to regu- late it's conduct. This ought to be plain enough for everybody who stops to give the matter moments cons1d- eratton. To be sure the opposition does not want to see the democrats have rules. It suits their purpose to keep them at loggerheads, and since the question was first spoken of a sys- tematic effort has been made to stir up feeling against ratifying the re- port of the committee, but 1t is be- lieved that the democrats of Water bury have learned enough from the ex- perience of the past to show them the wisdom of not taking counsel from the enemy
 The direct primary for senator is considered a move in the right d1rec- tfon. Indeed, many of the more con- servative men in public life favor the direct primary all along the line, and it is safe to state that it is coming. The committee who prepared the rules had nothing in mind but the best in- terests of the party and it now re mains to be seen whether the rank and file of the organization want to do away with contentious and divided au-. thority in the future
