Of the state shall be administered.
Indeed, it is the province Of the voters,
il their sovereign wisdom, to define
and prescribe il a great measure, if
not wholly, the very lines along which
state affairs shall be conducted; fer,
as has been said, it is they who finally
determine all matters of government
al policy. This being true it is of
the highest Importance that each in
dividual voter, whatever may have
been or may now be his party afTilic-
ton, should consider thoughtfuIly and
carefully thu claims made by the two
political parties for his support. For
If error creeps in, if mistakes are made
and evil ensue, the blow falls heaviest
upon the individual, whose property
is taxed TO support and maintain the
state government and its institutions,
and whose prosperity and happiness
depend upon the policies and princi-
pies behind the governing power and
the fidelity with which they are en-
forced. The ultimate responsibility.
then, for good or evil in state affairs
resting in tAe voter, it is but fair and
just to him, in order that he may act
with intelligence, that the candidates
seeking his suffrage should give a full
and complete expression Of the views
they represent upon the various ques-
tons and issues which most nearly
affect him and his interests, and the
interests of the state at large. 1t is
Of the utmost Importance to him that
he should know these views. and.
knowing them and thOughtfully consid-
ering them, it should be his duty to
act upon them conscientiously as his
judgment may dictate.
Mr.. Byan says platforms should
be made by the voters" that "plat-
forms should be the expression of the
wishes of the voters of the party. and
not the arbitrary production of a few
leaders" There are two ways in which
such a contamination may be reached.
The first is by the election of dele
gates to nominating convention who.
in their canvass for election. present
for the consideration of the voters a
statement of principles and policies
for which they stand, and for which
they will contend as members of the
convention. Delegates elected under
such conditions may truly speak for
the voters, and in such way the voters
may make the platform. But even
then there is still opportunity for
manipulation by the fine Italian
hand" of the arbitrary party leader.
The second and surer way is through
the medium of a primary election, in
which the party nominees are chosen
