voTERs SHOULD THINK

The politicians begin to talk
about the Republican candidate
for governor next year. 1t is high
time for Republican voters to be-
gin to think on this subject. The
choice of Republican candidates
has been left too much to the poll
ticians. The results is written in
the recent political. history of Min
nesota. That is full of storm sig
nails. for the Republicans of the
state.
Of four men nominated by the
Republicans for governor in the
last ten years, two have been de-
feated. During this period the
state has been unfalteringly Re-
publican in national elections. The
delegation in congress and the
legislature have been overwhelm-
ingly Republican. There have
been three presidential elections in
the period. In 1896 Mckinley S
plurality in Minnesota was $4,000;
that of the Republican candidate
for governor was 5000. In 1900
McKinley's plurality was 1900;
that of the Republican candidate
for governor was 1000. In 1904
Roosevelt's plurality was 100000;
that of the Democratic candidate
for governor was 5000. The stu
alton is getting no better very fast.
There can be only one reason for
this. The men who make Repub-
lican nominations for governor
have gotten out of touch with the
people. The people refuse to en-
dorse their nominations. This is
probably true of the whole state
ticket, but Republican discomfort
centers upon its head. The GER
tain remedy is to give the people
power to make the nominations by
making state convention repre-
sentative.
The politicians in the legislature
have refused to do this. They
would not make state conventions
representative of the people by ex-
tending the primary law to the
choice of delegates. The polite
ians insist on keeping the nominal
ing machinery in their own hands.
They have insisted on nominating
candidates for whom people viii
not vote.
The law cannot be changed un.
til the next legislature meets. II
may be changed then, if the Re-
publicans get another licking next
year They will get it if they re
peat, past blunders. Governor
Johnson has given the state a gooi
administration. He cannot be
beaten with the kind of ticket
and platform Republican conven
tions have been making.
Under the present system the
primaries and conventions are in
the hands of politicians. They
can pack the primaries and stea
conventions and be beaten. They
can make them full and free ex
preston of the popular will and
win. That is the plain warning Of
recent history. Minneapolis Tri
bune.
