Bosses Rule is Possible
Under the Direct
Primary

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. S.-Illinois has not
yet figured out the exact workings OF
her new primary law. which was given
It's hrst test Saturday. 1t will require
some time to thoroughly analyze the
results and discover the actual effects
and how they were produced. Per-
haps the most striking popularity is
that a candidate may have a majority
OF the popular vote. while his oppo-
nent, fourth or fifth down the list in
popular favor may have the dele
gates necessary to nominate
This was shown in several instances,
Under the new law every voter may
express his preference and also vote
for delegates. and these expressions
are counted separately. Therefore,
the unpopular man, by devoting his
work to securing delegates, may get
the nomination, regardless Of the pop
ular choice. This popularity will prob
ably cause much confusion at the con-
vention.
Does Not Down Boss
goes the new law is a failure. On the
contrary it seems to strengthen the.
boss. This also was made clear in the
first trial by law. Politicians speak
well of the law and say that it will
work smoothly as soon as a few minor
defects are remedied.
There is a lot of room for improve
ment in the new law" says Governor
Deneen. 1T should be extended to in
clude all county candidates, from the
sheriff down. the sanitary trustees and
municipal officers. The primaries
should be arranged so as to be held
before the month Of May. The law is
young and subject to much revision.

Perhaps the most noticeable was the
utter route of Hurst Mayor Dunno
combine. Carey has been practically
the Democratic political boss Of Cook
county. Backed by Hurst and the
municipal machine, directed by Mayor
Dunno. he essayed to go to congress. It
looked eaisy for the primaries, but he
was hopelessly beaten by James T..

on his personal worth and popularity
alone.
The candidate for sheriff, backed by
the Hearst Dunno Carey combination

there was something smashing.
