McMullen Of the committee. He said
the statements Of Mr.. Devine that the
primary system was always success
full in letting the people rule was not
borne out by the facts, as In many
states where it was in operation there
was great dissatisfaction. The enthusi-
asm Of the people in convention was
needed to keep up the party organiza-
tion and enthusiasm. He read letter
from the secretary Of state of Min
nesota. There the governor, who had
been an ardent advocate Of the sys-
tenn and was until recently favorable
to extending 1t to the selection OF
state officers, in a recent message
made a recommendation against this.
The letter mentioned the expense of a
double campaign for state office and
the difficulty of preventing the re-
publicans and the democrats from vot-
ing indiscriminately and disrupting
party organizations.
Mr.. McMullen said the committee
did not want to make light Of import
ant items He thought the platform
was a most important matter. The
newspapers could make or unmake
men.
He closed by stating that he would
vote for primary bill and for state
wide primary measure II necessary,
but he did not favor one.
The close Of the session was taken
up with a desultory discussion Of the
merits of the system. Members from
York county showed that country pre-
cincts there turned out well on stormy
days when the system was In actual
operation. The comparison was made
with the caucus system and there was
a good deal of discussion as to the adj
visibility of permitting a voter to
make secret choice at the primary
between parties or to announce his
politics and vote the party ticket he
selected.
The committee will meet again on
Friday night.

THE PRESS AND PRIMARY

1T Is claimed that the direct pri-
mary will establish the press in power.
This argument is based upon the fact
that since an advertisement OF candl-
dates and of policies is necessary to
success under the system, the news
paper as the best advertising medium
will occupy a position of undue ad-
vantage. It is claimed that since II
operates upon strictly business prin-
ciples, and is fully aware of its nigh
function as channel through which
information regarding the different can
didates can best reach the public, it
takes the selfish and unpatriOtic stand
Of charging for its monopolistic adver-
tising and adjusting its praises Of
men to the size of what there is IN
it.
These sentences include the opening
paragraph of chapter on '"The pub
lie press under direct primaries" Iii
Ernst C. Meyers book on the direct
primary, the standard work on that
subject. The interests opposed to the
direct primary in Nebraska are trying
to prevent the carrying out Of the
party pledges on this point, and being
foiled at every other argument are at
tempting to use the objection referred
to by Mr.. Meyer in their effort TO in
fluence legislators.
This argument amounts to the as
sertion that 1T is better for the pu0lic
to have nothing at all to do with NOM
nations, or nothing more than the
merely nominal part they play ordinar-
lily where nominations are made cy
conventions, than that they should take
the risk of being deceived py the news
papers in making nominations them
selves. The plea could be used equally
well to prove that the public should
not be permitted to vote at elections,
since it might be deceived by the news
papers into supporting the wrong cao~
didate. IL the case must come to
question of abolishing government by
the people and abolishing the news

THE MINERS HOME
A Bill That Should Receive the Onani-
nous Support of Both Houses

The bill introduced by Assembly
man Folsom to turn Bowers Mansion
into a Miners Home, should pass.
There should be no wrangling over
details and the fact that the present
owner gets a good price for the prop
erty should not be brought up to de-
feat the measure.
The fact that a mining state like
Nevada could never boast Of miners
home is something to it's everlasting
discredit. Let us wipe it out. The
mansion built by Sandy Bowers is a
historic spot. It cost nearly half a
million and it has natural hot springs
which are even more valuable than
the buildings. The Appeal hopes that
all coptious opposition will cease for
it may mean the defeat Of the meas
ure and stay the founding of home
j., for another two years. While mem
bers are wrangling over details the
old miners who would be benefited
are starving and passing away.
