THE Buffalo News gives it's readers wrong
impression of what NO said hast week i'm discuss
ing the real Issue in the direct primary contro-
,ersy. Here are some of our Buffalo contem.
porsrys comments:
The New-YoIk Tribune claims that the Wis
consin voters supported Senator Stephenson as
their deliberate preference at the primaries.
II holds then that the vast sum of money he
spent had nothing to do with the result.
The Tribune says that whatever the outcome Of
the direct primary where II is really direct It
is the voter who works results and has his way.
1t is Of no consequence fn the view of that
paper, that the poor man has no show under the
direct primary system according to the uniform
body Of testimony on the point
We were discussing Senator Stephensens
nomination for United States Senator in Wis
consin because The New York Times had cite
il as an example Of the failure Of the direct pri-
mary TO produce better results than were pro
duced under the old system of nominations by
conventions We admitted that Mr.. Stephenson
might have been defeated in a convention he
cause the state machine bitterly opposed his
nomination. but argued that since he got n
plurality on direct appeal to the voters his vic
tory al least represented their deliberate pref
erence" We thought that whatever other merit
IL may have lacked bis nomination possessed ona
advantage II was not subject 10 criticism as
having been mace without the approval OF those
who ought IN have the last say in party govern
ment
We have never believed that the direct pri-
mary system which The Western States have
adopted is free from faults. The encoura-a-
ment il gives 10 candidates who arc willing {,
spend large sums Of money is a great evil We
do not defend method of making nominations
which handicaps tho poor man ami helps the rich
man. and If Ne 10 have direct primary i'm
this state we believe that the expenditures -
candidates for nomination should he limited IN
very modest figures. just the expenditures Of
candidates for election should be. We were not
considering the incidental faults ~ the system
in Wisconsin, u comparing them with the faults
also considerable in the way If encouraging
contributions from candidates-of the convention
system. We merely wanted 10 emphasize the
fact that whatever the drawbaczs of the direct
primary il az least gave candidate q title from
tine voters themselves. whereas now he has only
title from a body Of middlemen who may or
may not represent the wishes Of ma iorty of
the electors The real issue involved In the con
test for q change In party government here is
