Nevada's Need Of Nominating Primaries

The new Nominating Primary law
passed by the Legislature Of Illinois last
Spring, has had its first trial In that
State, and gives general satisfaction.
AT tthe recent primary election the voters
of the respective parties cast their bal
lots directly for candidates to be nomin.
ated by the party conventions. and the
candidates receiving the highest vote
will get the party nominations accord
ingly. Thus, where there were two or
more candidates for the Republican
nomination for sheriff in any county.
the one who had the greatest number OF
votes at the primary will be entitled to
the nomination.
At the primaries held throughout the
State on the same day the voters also
cast their ballots for choice Of United
States Senator. The Democrats had nc
candidates for the office, but the Repub-
licans had three-Senator Cullom. VIM.
O. Webster and former Governor Yates.
While this manner of indicating the
preference Of majority Of the Repub-
lican vsters Of the State for United
States Senator cannot legally bind the
action of the Legislature. because the
manner Of electing them is subject only
to the Federal law, the party choice in.
dicated at the primaries is expected to
have controlling effect. The majority
in control Of the Legislature would
scarcely dare to repudiate the choice of
its own party SO expressed. And such
selection by primaries may be made still
more morally binding by the insertion
of plank in the State Republican plat
form pledging the Legislators elected to
be governed accordingly.

In the case of United States Senators,
the innovation is particularly valuable,
because in these days it is very seldom
that election by Legislatures conforms
to popular choice. Probably a majority
of the members of the United States
Senate would lose their seats were the
question left to popular vote. There
is need of an Amendment to the Consti-
tuition requiring direct popular election
of Senators. but very small prospect Of
getting it. At the last session Of Con-
gress the House of Representatives.
which several times previously had ap-
proved such an Amendment, deserted
its former stand, the proposition failing
to receive the necessary two-thirds vote.
Aud the United States Senate has re-
peatedly refused to approve such an
Amendment, although there is no doubt
Of the popular demand for it.
This being the situation, the Nom
mating Primary offers the best and
most expeditions remedy. The press Of
Nevada should demand of both political
parties, in their State platforms this
year. strong and positive declaration
in favor of the needed law. And il one
or the other shall fail to adopt such
plank. the question should become live
issue in the coming campaign. Nom
nations TO all local and State offices.
and also to Congress and the United
States Senate, should be controlled III
this way.

Numerous other States have adopted
such law. and there is growing agi-
tation for like enactment in every
State of the Union. Nevada should
get in line. The politicians and bosses
naturally oppose the change. because its
object is to take power out Of their
hands and restore to the rank and file OF
political parties the choice Of candidates.
SO the people cannot look for Nominal
ing Primariesy unless the demand them.

two printers from there who are now
In New York. Another man from

one Of the expert linotype operators
