This last statement may seem some

that does not help matters. He must

his domain uegitimately-that is, the
boss does what the people are sup

recent interview at Baltimore, declared
in favor of electing the party boss in
primaries. and then allowing him to
name the candidates for elective Of
fees and hold him responsible for them.

may dissent. for whatever reason from

would choose his proposed "legalized

think it probable that no one of the
persons who have been known as
bosses since have known politics
would have been elected at such a pri-
mary.

that the 'nominator' or legalized boss
