sENAToRSHIP AND PRIMARY,

Before anyone is led to condemn
the direct primary system in connec-
ton with the outcome of the election
OF a United States senator from Iii
nois it would be the part OF wisdom
to recall exactly what are in this state
the terms OF the primary law as affect
ing senators.
The law, instead of being clear ana
exact in its terms, was purposely
made vague and obscure. 1t permits
primary votes of an advisory charae-
ter upon candidates for the senator
ship within the ranks of each party,
but ii does not specify whether the
results OF the vote are to be given
weight on the basis of the totals for
the whole state. or. as an alternative,
each state representative and senator
is expected to consider the plurality
or majority opinion of his special dis
trict. Under such circumstances
members of the legislature could not
only vail themselves definitely on
only avail themselves definatly on
their legal right to vote Independent
ly of the advisory returns. but they
could in many instances excuse them
selves by processing themselves un-
certain as TO what even the advisory
vote advised them to do.

In the Republican primaries Hop
kins fell far short of majority of
the votes This is to say that he was
repudiated by majority of the Re-
publican voters on his past record.
This, taken in connection with the OBJ
scurity of the law, weakened his pos
ton, so that even the plurality he re
ceived did not give strength TO him
as it would have given to another
candidate.
Illionis should not distrust the sena-
torial primary because of the long
deadlock and the result OF the strug-
gle. Rather it should insist on a bet.
