AN HONEST CONFESSION
FROM A REPUBLICAN ORGAN
Editorial In the Los Angeles Times

and expect that our own wishes or
ideals will be respected. our civic
duties cannot be successfully farmed
out or delegated If we lazily pass
over" these responsibilities to a party
boss, or a would-be boss or a profess
sional secretary, saying. "Oh, 1. am
too busy-let them attend to it, that's
their business"-we must keep on pay
ing the fiddler. feeding the grafters.
Messrs. Taxpayers, there is no excuse
for us! We should attend to our own
concerns! Each one should be true.
No one should shirk. This is the only
recipe for ideal government.
Once again, let us not indulge in
more than womanly weakness and say
that we can't control the caucuses, the
primaries and the nominating conven-
tions. These things cannot be done
by lolling in an easy chair and drop
ping asleep over the paper by attend
ing Society functions" or playing
$500 on the evening of the caucus.
We cannot do these things by being
too busy and too selfish, attending to
private affairs on the day of the pri-
mary by refusing to cast our vote
after having first failed to take the
gates at the caucuses. If we have
neglected our duty in these two first
instances, we might as we'll neglect
1t ever afterward so long as that par
ticular campaign is concerned. When
the delegates to the nominating con-
fire, the mischief is done, the political
Niagara is running and ready to shoot
over the precipice into the abyss. You
can't stop the flood then. II handful
of bosses or q committee of fifteen,
dominated by one, are allowed to make
the primaries, thus making a NOM
mating convention composed to a large
degree of the corrupt politicians, we
might as well let the gang do all the
voting on election day. If we have
enjoyed our ease on the evening of the
caucus and selishly attended to our
business on the day of the primaries,
we might as we'll still devote ourselves
to our own affairs on the election day
and save all the time.
At the recent state election, and
afterward at the city election, barely
so per cent of the voting strength of
this city took the trouble to go to
the polls. They were somewhat Sc
verely criticised for this lack of pa
triotism and of civic pride. AS a mat
ter of fact, they were the only con-
sistent people among us. They had
neglected to do their duty at the eau
cuses, they had continued this fault
at the primaries, and they were per-
fectly consistent in their lack of pa
triotism and of civic pride in persist
ing in neglecting their political duties
on the election day. The SO per cent
who, after neglecting the duty of the
caucus and the duty of the primary,
tried to redeem themselves by voting
on election day really were more fool
ish than the other half.
