DEMOCRAT MAY BE JUDGE.
Washington's Direct Primary Law
May Afford LoophoIe.

way fNuOId LOOPIOlCs
Olympia-The provisions of the new
direct primary law make it more than
likely that the democratic party will
hereafter have one or more members
Of the supreme court bench of this
state.
The new law provides for a separate
judicial ticket at primary elections.
This ticket is to be nonpartizan, the
names of the candidates to appear
without any political designation. The
second choice provision is also elm
mated from the judgeship offices.
At the general election in 1908, three
members of the supreme court are to
be chosen, to succeed Chief Justice H.
z. Hadley and Justices Milo A. Root
and Herman d. Crow. The names Of
all candidates will be on the ticket
without party designation, and the
three receiving the highest vote will
be nominated. The secretary of state
is directed by the law to put only the
names of the three candidates thus
nominated on the ballot for the general
election in November.
This means that the judges will prac-
tically be elected at the September pri-
maries, instead of at the November
election. With only the names of the
three candidates on the general cleo
ton ballot it would of course be i'm
possible to elect any one in opposi-
ton to either of them.
So many republican candidates are
likely to go before the September pri-
maries as to divide the party vote and
result in some democratic candidate
receiving a plurality. This would leave
the republicans thus defeated off the
November ballot. 1t is the history oil
politics that the majority party is
always in the field with a multitude OF
candidates, while the minority parties
generally unite on one man. 1t is
easy to see that the democrats, by hav
ing not to exceed three candidates fol
the supreme bench at the September
primaries next year, are quite likely tc
elect one or two of them unless the
republicans also unite on few candl
dates.
The new primary law likewise elm
mates United States senators anc
members of the legislature from the
second choice provisions. Section Ii
of the law provides that where there
are four or more candidates OF any
party for one Estate or congressional
office" the voter shall designate botf
q first and second choice. But sector
is provides that Judges of the su
IRENE and superior courts. state sen
ators and representatives shall no
be considered state officers within TN
meaning of the provisions OF this ac
relating to first choice and secon'
voting"
