Ii Is always interesting TO observe
the first operation of law which
introduces brand new processes; but
particularly is this true of an act
which has for its purpose to restore
to the people of a great community
power that has been alienated from
them by dexterous politicians.
The law governing nominations to
public Office in this city-the primary
law, as ii is Familiarity called-moved
its machinery for the first time last
week Any group of citizens could
nominate anybody for any place The
result was the naming of forty-three
persons for the Mayors Office, of
thirteen persons for the tax receiver
ship, of fifty-seven persons for the
six magistrates Offices and of many
hundred persons for the several
places in councils
At first the result seemed rather
confusing We have been for SO long
unused TO the participation of the
people in this business of making
nominations that the offer of so many
candidates from which TO make flnal
choice supplies a little shock of sur
prise.
The old way was for one of our
bosses, or a small group of bosses,
to choose whom they would, and for
the dependents of the bosses in con-
vention. and the members of the
party at the polls. to ratify the choice
exactly as If they were machines con-
trolled by influences outside of them.
Here is change, indeed. Here is
the proof that when the popular will
is permitted TO have free play there
is no considerable indifference to
political duty and no disposition to
neglect the primaries as the real
source of political power. That large
groups of independent voters should
have named forty-three men for a
single Office is a most healtl1ful and
encouraging proof of the existence of
that wide difference of opinion which
will be always found in really free
community
The next thing to be done, of
course, is for the voters of each party
70 select the nominees from all these
candidates. And it is a significant
fact, related to the revolution of meth
DDS, that the bosses, who used 10
have no difficulty to pick out candi-
dates without help from the people,
are now unable to agree upon the
most available of the candidates
named by the people.
The boss arrangements depended
for smoothness of operation upon the

exclusion OF voters from all particlpa-
ton in the business. Now that the
voters can be heard and felt, the
bosses cannot quite determine in
what manner they are to exercise
their presumed authority 1t is not
the least of the achievements of the
new law that il has loosed the bonds
that united the leaders in the organ
ization. Reform has accomplished
that feat, no matter how much it may
have failed in other directions.
The new primary law will give ad-
ditional proof of its value if it shall
open the door of public life to men
who scorn a boss favor and who re-
gard his approval as ignominy..
Already it has had the effect of
warning the leaders that no longer
can it be safe for them contemp-
tuously to disregard public opinion in
the selection of candidates. They will
be likely TO throw their influence al
ways for the best of the men whom
they prefer, because the indications
are plain enough that the ancient
scandalous indifference to the senti-
ment of the people will almost GER
tainly impel voters TO use all their
power 70 choose their own candidates.
In fact, the choice of an unknown
and probably incompetent man for
public place, once so easy and usual,
is now likely always to be avoided by
party managers For the voters have
the power to defeat the man before
he shall get upon the ticket, and they
will be nearly certain to do so.
Furthermore, the man who wants
public Office has warning from this
law that he must stand for some
promise of good to the people, or
some positive contribution to it, if
he is to have the popular favor re-
quired TO get nomination.
When the people shall indeed
realize that this important law puts
a weapon into their hands with which
they may snite the boss system and
make government by corrupt oil
garchy impossible, the day of the boss
will be nearing sundown.
AS things were, even one year ago,
with tickets made in secret, with
bogus voting lists, stuffed ballot-boxes
and false counts, we had hardly a
larger measure of f-government
than is permitted in Russia This
primary law has set US free. If the
people will now determine to use their
opportunity we need never again have
to submit to the humiliating supre-
macy of political boss.
