Frank n. Hitchcock, Bishop David II.
Greer Benz. F. Tracy and Herman
Rider.
After declaring that the time had
come 70 call 4 halt on the practice
which made ol our departments, Of
public business pleasant pastures for
the politically blessed" the governor
urged upon his hearers TO put hur-
dies in the way of private schemes OF
political manipulators and make less
difficult the play OF the disinterested
forces OF our public spirited citi-
zenship.'
We have found that 10 maintain
representative government and to
have principal executive officers who
represent the people Or legislators who
represent their districts, We must
have voters choose them directly" he
said. Direct nominations are not
subsersive OF representative govern
ment, but as IL seems TO me, are es-
sential 10 its maintenance.
Some would have it appear that the
matter is one OF great difficulty ami
intricacy. In fact, we simply have TO
adapt our primary methods 10 those
of our general election with such i'm
provements as our own experience
shows 10 be advisable
