Conserving the Party Qualifications of the Voter
phase election attracted attention and
general through the press than the feature
the independent of this election 1t common
give its electoral vote to party and
its Gubrnato the other and it this class OF voters
independent who will redeem this great country of from
he gaer direct results of party bossism which forever
an end under good direct Primary law
Why require voter declare his party politics when
he direct Primary election? The only can
make inquiry that the provides the boss will
lose his job entirely and that exactly what want him to do
and what the direct Primary is intended to do To illustrate
Suppose is well known fact that the State is overwhelmingly
sided Democratic Republican and that the nominations of
party but complimentary but the party preponderance
place nomination outside of the rings and out from
under the boss rule of the party but they feel that it going to
hard to beat them under direct Primary law and the
minority party feels that they compelled to live under the
of the party peponderang they have right and
should they not have the privilege of forcing the party of the
majority the nomination of good instead of those put forward
the bosses and their cohorts We believe that exactly what
direct Primary law does and what should do makes
difference how sided State be- the party with the big

them for nomination by voting with the better element of the
majority party the nominating election at the direct Primary

for the office of Governor and they all receive good vote
The result be nomination made few
oneourth of the votes cast if the about equally
divided between the candidates. but when the second choice
counted will be found that universally taking the and
choice votes together the candidate nominated by large
vote the choice of the people, and all satisfied
Political parties absolute necessities in order maintain
Republic and would be the last to advocate the abolition
political parties but when parties put under direct Primary
law and the whole people of such commonwealth have hand
nominating its candidates. then the party boss dare not bolt his
party ticket for he does he has gone to political suicide just
he dares such under the convention plan
making nominations which the chairman and from five to ten
mbS constituting the various committees make the nominations
bring them into the convention for ratification by the aer
constituting the great majority such convention of
them fully justified boiling and refusing support the
OF such convention but when back the Primary
ncpes of this great and good of
the whole people, for the people and by the people, and you find
man hghhDg that principle put down absolute
thing that he would stand ghost of show he
ekng nomination for public Office under direct primary
OF the people, while under the convention system he
ceeds In keeping himself the public manger constantly
Let us have direct Primary law and good one with
Tor declaration of voters party affiliations, and will
