SOME "ANTIY ARGUMENTs,

| one of the arguments advanced
against the direct primary bill is thai
the average voter has no time nor op-
portunity to look up the qualifications
OF the various candidates for office
ana 1t is therefore necessary for him
to turn over the power of naming the
candidates to lot of delegates to
political conventions.
IL this argument is good, why
should it not also apply to general
elections? Why should not voters also
turn over to delegates the power to
elect officers as well as to nominate
them?
AS matter Of fact, the voter in a
olreet primary votes his sentiments on
all offices. The delegate to a conven-
ton is usually interested in the sue
cess or one or two candidates and he

me voter gets his information con-
corning candidates chiefly from the
newspapers, from public speeches. and
pors. He becomes pretty well in
formed as to what each candidate
stands for and he is abundantly able to
FORM his own opinions and vote ac-
cordingly. The delegate gets his in
formation from some boss in an up
stairs room in some hotel
me charge has been made that a
direct primary law will put too much
power In the hands of the newspapers.
Ihls charge Is made by politicians who
evidently fear to have the people
know the truth about them. The
newspapers are pretty evenly bal

TAR treatment among them. If one
paper mtsrepresents a candidate. an
other will right the wrong done him.

ate recently. All of Smiths supporters
would prefer Young instead of Fitzpat-
rick, and all of Young's supporters
woald prefer Smith to Fitzpatrick.
Therefore. if either Young or Smith
We're running singly he would receive
10000 votes to Fitzpatrick's 10000, in
which case either Young or Smith
ought to be nominated instead Of Fitz-
patrick.
The plan formulated in the Haskins
amendment allows the Smith and
Young voters to express their second
choice for the other candidate, and it
further allows the 10000 Fitzpatrick
voters to come in and express their
preference between these two candi-
dates by ranking them two" and

voters. The result is that every voter
can express himself as to every can

can be.

THE HAsKINs AMENDMENT.

The Capital appears very much op-
posed to the system of allowing the
voter in a primary election to express
more than his first choice, along the
line of the plan that has been promul-
gated from time to time in these col
umns and that has been incorporated
in the house primary bill in the amend
ment framed by Representative Has
kins.
The State Journal has not been in
clined to urge the adoption of this plan
unless it seemed wise to considerable
number of legislators. That it did thus
seem wise is proved by the large sup
port that was given to the Haskins
amendment in the house
This paper believes that this plan
adds to the strength of the primary
idea in many ways in that it will keep
machines and rings from overcoming
the wishes of the majority through Sc
curing a multiplicity of candidates.
that it will tend to prevent popuIous
localities from "hogging'' the nomi-
nees; and that it will get at the actual
will of the majority with mathematical
exactness.
The State Journal agrees that an or
binary primary election is much bet
ter than the convention system, but
the Capital itself suggests a strong
argument in favor of this very plan of
allowing the voter to express his
preferences by ranking all candidates
in the order in which he prefers them.
Suppose" says the Capital. three
candidates are running for the nominal
ton for governor-Fftzpatri Young
and Smith The first gets 5000 votes,
the second 10000, and the third 81, 900 -
The Capital then agrees that Fitzpat-
rick ought to be nominated.
This would perhaps be the case. but
not necessarily so. Suppose the issue
