sUnFLowER STATE POLITICIAN
DISCUSSES OPERATION OF pl.
RECT NOMINATION LAW.
The OLD CONVENTION SYSTEM
He Says ~ was Corrupt, Vicious ans
Rotten and Kansas Would Not
Return to II Under Any
Circumstances.

Albany. N. Y, Feb. 9.--J N. Dolley
speaker of the Kansas house Of repre-.
sentstives and chairman OF the Re.
publican state committee of that
state, has sent to Gov Hughes a copy
Of letter written by him to a resi-
dent of New York state, who asked
for Information regarding the opera
ton Of the direct nominations law in
Kansas. Speaker Dollcy authorized
publication of the letter, which was
given out by Gov. Hughes last night
The name Of the New York citizen TO
whom the letter was addressed was
not announced.
Speaker Dolley tells of the success
siye steps which eventually led to the
adoption of direct nominations and
says In part;
II cannot now tell you how corrupt
how Vicious, how high handed, how
snbyersive Of good morals, how rot
ten the old convention system was
Indeed, the inside workings OF state
conventions and the midnight con.
claves leading up thereto have never
been told. 1t need not be told. The

tions sleep. II will suffice to say that
clidues and cabals representing the
corporations, the special interests and
those who have fattened at public ex.
pense had manipulated caucuses.
county conventions and state conven.
tions, legislatures and congresses and
traded and dickered in political can.
didacies and policies for a generation
and the people had no remedy. The
Democratic party was controlled by
the Same sinister influences. A re.
volt at the polls on election day
brought no relief.
Perhaps the situation is different
In New York. Perhaps you have no
bosses of precincts and wards and
counties who obey the mandates of
higher bosses in state affairs. Per.
haps those who sit at the political pie
counter by grace of federal appoint
ments and those who draw long sal
aries for little work at public expense
have not arrogated to themselves the
right to dictate to the Republican and
Democratic voters OF your state, coun.
" and local offices. Perhaps there n
d fair expression of popular will in
that regard II so, you do not need a
primary election law. II so, New
York politics has been badly maligned
throughout the republic"
Speaker Dolley answers a number
OF objections that have been raised
TO the direct nomination system and
declares that Kansas would no more
return to the convention system oi
ten years ago than II would to tht
shotgun system OF the Jayhawker,
and Red Legs of 80 years ago"
