of the state will not tolerate a return
to the convention system, with q
handful of men throttling the will Of
the people, as expressed through the
ballot box.
The decision of Judge King, if sus-
tanned, will be beneficial. It will serve
again to point the moral that bad
law, conceived in hypoericy and fos-
tered in iniquity, can not endure. It
will stand as memorial to the next
legislature that the time for juggling
with the will of the people in this re-
gard will not be longer tolerated. It
will result in the passage of law,
considered from a standpoint of fair
ness, aimed to root out electoral cor
ruption and assure free, fair election
and an honest count.
The decision means we shall have a
new law, with teeth In it, instead of a
patchwork reyamp of the old, impo-
tent en- actment.

4 Genuine Primary Ought to Result.

The decision of Judge Fred. D.
King, declaring the Louisiana pri-
mary laws unconstitutional, will
doubtless be reviewed by the supreme
court on appeal. The reaff1rm alton of
his decision would not be surprise
to those who have given consideration
to the method of the primary. Recog-
nizing the law as amake-shift and un-
fair enactment, they have anticipated
that it would not stand the test of ju-
dicial scrutiny.
Framed by convention politicians
who have no sympathy with, or expe-
rience in primaries, and whose chief
aim was to make it an instrument for
the perpetuation of conditions under
which they had gained and maintained
power, the primary law, short of
miracle, could never have been a
worthy document.
Hailed as the instrument that would
free the state from the burden of ma
chine rule, it became an agent of i'm
mense power in binding that DONNA
ton yet more closely upon the people.
Welcomed as the medium of a political
regeneration OF the state, it served to
instigate more crimes against the bal
lot and cloak more knavery than ever
obtained in the hey.day of the conven-
ton.
The first test of the primary law
proved its failure. 1t made secrecy a
mockery and drove the ignorant and
timid voters to the polls to be voted
and counted just as the machine de-
sired, by the machines own agents.
The system of commissioners, inaugu-
rated ostensibly to assist those inca
pable of casting their votes as they
desired, was made the agent through |
which corrupt and fearful voters were
lined up for the faction which CHANGED |
to be in power at the polls.
It Is a failure in that it bars the
candidate, by an absurd restriction OF
time placed on the state central com
mittee and the courts, from fair in
vestigation of charges of fraud. It is
a failure in that it puts premium on
corruption at the polls, through clog
ging the wheels of investigation, max
ing the issue ofknavery uncontestible,
and leaving to the defrauded candi.

an opportunity to do just as
It pleases and then places a barrier OF

which neither the voter nor the courts
could hope to scale.
