WHAT AROUT THISI

Fearful that the people may select men for the state SUI,
prcme bench who will be ION the square" the corporations OF
the state Of Washington have succeeded in securing the passage
by the state senate Of an amendment TO the direct primary
law, providing that hereafter candidates Tor the supreme court
shall be nominated by convention.
Thus, the one office above all others, which should be kept
out Of politics and beyond the reach OF eorruptionists, is to be
thrown back into the boneyard Of contention, where 1T can be
devoured by the political wolves who have heretofore jobbed
party conventions in the interests of the public service corpora
tons. 1t is an ELEVENTH HOUR RUSH ACT" to be put
through before the people have time to get together in oppo-
siuon-
This a%mendmen, TO the primary law is the most vicious
bill before the legislature today. 1t Is the entering wedge which
the men who are behind it hope vii. finally result in the repeal
Of the direct primary law itself. II will take away from the
people what they have long been trying ior-the right 10 nom
mate their candidates for justices Of the supreme court.
Also, this amendment makes no provision for the eonven-
tions at which these nominations arc 10 be made. The direct
primary law repealed the old convention primary law and the
latter stands today as II 1t had never existed,
Who is TO say. therefore, how the delegates to these eonven-
tons are TO be chosen?
Shall these conventions be mass conventions, or party con-
ventions, or whatl
II the legislature is going 10 make this radical change in the
direct primary law, would IL not be well to first consider the
effect of the repeal of the old convention SYSTEM
