Direct Primary.
I wish TO say word with regard to
the plank in the Republican platform
which declares in favor of the direct
primary. In my judgment this is long
step in the right direction. There was
a time when secret system of voting on
election day was not known to the
Americas people. There was a time, and
some Of you will remember it we'll, when
the candidates names were printed on
the tickets---Were printed on slips of pa
per of one color and sometimes of an
other-and the member of the party as
they went to vote placed these ballots
in the ballot box. There was a time
when the voters names were called and |
each voter called out the names of the |
men for whom he wished to vote. These |
systems of election opened the door for !
fraud and corruption. Bosses sprang up |
Men were bought and the boss stood by |
the ballot box and watched the voter |
whom he had bought deliver the goods" |
Men sometimes were afraid to vote for
the man of their choice for fear Of los
ing their positions. All this was wrong
and in response to a general demand
from one end of the country to another,
secret ballot laws were enacted In ev-
cry state and tremendous step was
aiken for good government and clean
politics. Ii
Now, the Republican party has de-
dared for further step. If we can
lave the primary law the people them
selves, the members of all parties, will
70 to the polls upon primary day and
here vote to place in nomination the
nan or woman whom they would desire
