Ring Methods

OF course, the convention voted upon

myself. If the masses of democrats
| subscribe To this kind of rule il will
virtually close the door of hope to
every sclf-respccting aspirant for
public Office. 1t will place a dan
Scrous and autocratic power in the
hands OF a few men and endanger
the morals. threaten the safety. peace
and happiness of the entire COM
munty. Ring methods, wherever
followed. should receive wide public
ltv: this is the only means of bring

any way be instrumental in curbing
or destroying ring rule. ! shall feel
that my humble effort has not been
in vain. The primary or conven-
ton Is by far more important than
the general election. For in the con-
vcntlon or primary we make the bal
lot, and the making Of the ballot is
the most important thing in politics
OF today. III the people have the
opportunity to choose their own can

accept the results Of the general elec-
tlon. But when a few men get to-
gether and undcrwritc ticket and
guarantee 10 their favoritcs that the
tration will be used to nominate this
ticket, then his is ring rule of the
lowest, basest and most degrading
sort. As democrat, | believe in
organization. for without it we could
not hope ever to regain power. But
organization is one thing, and ring
rule is entirely another In Il per-
feet organization every regular and
consistent democrat should have the
privilege Of running for office if he
elects to do SO, without fearing that
lie will be opposed and ridden over
rough shod. booted. and spurrcd bv
those in control Of patronage and Of
ticc-hoders identified with the So
called organization. If the admin
lstration usurps the power Of naming
the ticket. why should we have q con-
Nentlon or primary at all: Under
this theory of government we have
an nligarchy. where one set of men
could succeed themselves in office for

as | am concerned. this fight against
ring rule has Just begun. | propose
to resist it by the employment Of
! honorable and effective means, and
in this | ask the cooperation and
support Of every selt-rcspccting and
| thinking democrat.
Very truly.
