LABOR PAPER FOR
DIRECT PRIMARIES

"Will the day ever come when
the common people will be given
fair chance to express their choice
at the polls?" asks Editor e. i.
Grace, in the Memphis Union La
Dor Lancet.
The Lancet joins the great pro-
testing newspaper army III we'll
tempered ana thoughtful editorial,
and tells why it leprecates the ac-
tion of the Democratic State Com
mittee in turning down the de-
mand for q direct primary.
In view of the fact that the Ian
Get has been friendly to Governor
Patterson in the past and its con-
stituents were strong factors IN his
successful campaign of two years
ago, the editorial comes with much
force atthis time.
What the Lancet thinks about
the action of the State Committee
is told thus:
GA direct vote is the only fair
plan for an honest expression of
the will of the commompeople, and
that plan has been turned down by
our State Democratic Executive
Committee in the gubernatorial
contest, which is now on in earnest.
DIsFRANCHISEMENT.
at matters not whom the aspir-
ants to the office of Governor may
be, or what personal or political
feeling may exist between them
and their factional adherents, the
office of Governor belongs to the
common voters of the State, and
any plan or scheme which deprives
these voters of fair and untram7
meled opportunity of expressing
their viii is simply disfranchise-
ment of them as a whole-a a fend-
ish rape Of their God-giyen rights
by few political tricksters, which
must be resented by them as mat
ter of self-preservation.
"For years and years the COM
mon voters the wealth producers,
the workingmen and the farmers
have been hoping and praying for
a fair opportunity of expressing
their will at the polls for men to
serve them in high office, and it
was thought by most of us that we
would certainly be afforded that
opportunity in the approaching
contest for Governor, as our pres
ent Governor now holds his polit-
ical position by virtue of the thous-
ands Of votes cast for him in 1906
by our people because of his Cat
