This relation which should exis
between the party and the Fedora
Union has been only partially real
Ized under present conditions,-th
parties have a separate organization
for the nation aud for each of the
several states, bat the national part,
very materially influences the state
party organization National issues
predominate over state issues. IL
the following paragraphs the causes
results aud remedies Of this condi.
tion will be discussed
What NAV be called the dual
party system Is In vogue in the
United States There are two great
parties, the party in power, winch
is sccouHtable for the policy Of the
government, and the opposing party
which acts az a check upon the first
National issues and doctrines which
are expressed in the party platforms,
form the basis OF national party di.
vision That national pirty, which
al a given time happens to be in
power maintains control over the
Legislative and executive departments
of oar government, and has grow n
up around our Presideat, who is TO
all outward appearances at least the
leader of his party. The primaries,
caucuses, conventions, and commit
rees are the tools of the party organ
izations, which are the intermediary
organs between the officers holding
Federal positions and the people.
The primary is held in the local
districts and its purpose is to eject
delegates to a convention to be held
later. 1t also nominates candidates
for local officers, gives inforoosion
TO party representatives with regard
to the selection of supporters and
expresses the attitude of the great
body of electors as to the policy of
party leaders. Some states require
the direct election of candidates in
the primary. This process is known
as the direct primary.
Party caucus is secret meeting
OF a few party members, presumably
the leaders, to consider in what
manner the primary shall be guided
in its action, and to select the can
didates to be brought before it
The convention, as a definite part
of the party machinery, is the agency
for gathering a number of primaries
by means of delegates. The ratio
of representation is determined by
the number of party voters in the
district. The state convention draws
up a statement of the important
principles advocated by the state
party, and nominates candidates for
its state offices. The national con-
vsntion is connected with primaries
by number of intermediate state
conventions. 1t nomlnates cand-
dates for President and Vice-Presi-
dent, and draws up its statement of
national issues.
The national committee stands in
intricate relation with the President
as the head of his party Since in
the composition of this committee,
every part of the nation is represent
ed, and since its head is the director
of the entire organization, it stands
for the unity of the whole party, and
consequently holds a position of

which are similar to those Of the
national committee
From this brief explanation Of
party machinery, 1t can be seen that,
while the party centralizes the sew
eral states, an1. al the same time
provides for separate state aud ma
tlonal party organizations, still 1t Is
through the state patty that the ma
tlonal party reaches the people. aud
consequently there is adequate OPP
portunIty for the fusion Of state and
national issues
The most important influence
which works through the party is
that OF certain phases OF our govern
ment organization. The reason for
this is the fact that Political parties,
as they exist today III the United
States, were not considered when the
constitution WAS framed. The plaa
provided in the constitution for
electing the Presidei,t, aud the one
which was in the minds Of the
trainers of the constitution was very
different from the one which now
actually dominates our elections 1t
Was supposed that the electors chosen
by the people Of the several states
woald assemble aud select man
whom they considered be-, fitted for
the presidential office. TINS was
indirect election of the President.
But political parties sprang up, each
striving to select man from its own
ranks for the highest executive office
in the land This very materially
confused state and national politics,
because the party was compelled to
make the state the base of It's opera
tions in the national campaign. H.
its effort to carry each state, the ma
tional party often impresses upon
the attention of the people national
issues at the sacrifice of the state
issues. Public opinion becomes
concentrated too much on the purely
federal aspect of party control
The plan of elecring United
States Senators provided for in the
the constitution il the greatest
obstacle in the way of separation Of
the issues of state aud national
politics The senators are elected
by the Legislators of the different
states Now, if the party is to CO.
ordinate the three departments of
government, 1t must secure ma
Jority in the Uulted States Senate.
If 1T elects majority in the
Seuate, it must get control OF a
majority of the state legislatures.
If it has a majority in the legisla-
ture of any state, it must also elect
the executive and judicial officers in
order to dominate the state party.
In this case, then, there is a com
plete confusion in state and national

REV. ROBERT ]. BURDETTE
REPORTED CONVALESCING

PASADENA, Oct. 14.-Robert ]. Bur-
dette the humorous pastor, is well
along on the road to recovery. He has
discarded the plaster cast which has
been such a close friend for the past
two months and has been able to walk
about the lawn of his Pasadena resi-
dence, Sunnycrest.
Mr.. Burdette, accompanied by his
since his illness last Tuesday, and re-
ing the Taft parade.
The Pasadena residence is now in
charge of Frank T. Jackson, who stated
today that Mr.. Burdette is able to take
a little exercise and that while in Pas
adena he took great pleasure in walk
ing about the lawn.
HE is the best man the Lord ever
made" said Jackson. Nobody knows
how much good he does except someone
who has been with him for years as I
have. In eight years I have never
heard him speak an unkind word, and
he is always looking at the bright side
of everything.
"He never says anything about being
ill, and he wouldn't give up last spring
until he collapsed. He never turns any
one away from the house. A man came
here one day looking kind of shabby
and asked for something. Mr. Bur-
dette gave him a dollar, and said after
ward to me: I can't afford to make a
mistake. I'd sooner give a dollar to a
man who would go and drink it right
up than turn away a man who was
really in need"

OLD LITIGATION OVER
TOM REED MINE ENDS
JOHN HAYS HAMMOND NOW
ONE OF OWNERS

as Arizona Property in Which Many
Are Interested Promises to
Be Profitable
Especial to The Herald.l

been the price which the Tom Reed
Gold Mining company, in which about
800 Pasadenans are interested, pald
to John Hays Hammond and John II.

the Blue Ridge people in settlement
of their claims is not known, ac-
cording to Charles Grimes, president
of the company, but he states he Is
well satisfied the means taken to set
tie the litigation and to admit Mr.

view of the stockholders.
Mr.. Grimes returned here Monday
with Engineers Frank A. Keith and
Barry, who represented Mr.. Hammond
in investigating the Tom Reed mine,
and is awaiting with considerable an
ticipation their report on the mine

induced to steal an hour from his
time with the presidential party to
discuss conditions.
They are likewise pleased with the
statements of the experts who sam
pied the property that their machinery
is as complete as any in Arizona.
