- pRlMARY PlEpeE.

A good deal IS being said now about
the primary pledge but not one
whit too much MIR Bryan in the Com
moner started the campaign to secure
pledges to attend the primary between
now and the next Democratic national
convention unless unavoidably prevent
ed. and to use ones influence to secure
clear. honest and straightforward
declaration Of the partys position on
every question. upon which the party
may desire to speak.
The pledge emphasizes a principle
that lies at the very fountain-head Of
the American political system and is
the one time when every citizen exer-
cises his sovereign rights as to both
party policy and candidates. When the
primary is over, the one and only
chance to have a say on party policy
has passed to the ordinary man and
thereafter all that remains for him is
a choice between the actions of his
own party and that Of the opposing
parties.
The man who neglects his party

political thinking cap. That thinking

mary even. by definite work in the way
