Purpose of Direct Nominations.

1t is against this evil that the system
OF direct nominations is aimed. It's our
pose is to bring the candidate into more
direct relations with the electors; in this
way TO perfect and insure true repre-
sentative government and to eliminate
the boss and the convention with their
opportunities for professionalism and
corruption.
It may be that the evil cannot be en-
tirely cured until we simplify our cleo
tive offices and concentrating more re-
elect. and in my judgment one of the
along the lines of the so-called short
ballot" system.
That reform, however, rests in the
future. 1t requires much public discus
sion and constitutional amendment for
its adoption. The system of direct nom
nations requires no such delay.
The platforms of both parties contain
declarations in its favor. Under such
circumstances the records Of the TWO
parties furnish the best guide TO the
electOr as to the sincerity Of their pro-
fessiOns. 1t is to the Republica party
that all of the statutes now upon the
statute books safeguarding the present
conduct of primary elections are due
To the Republican party is also due that
recent Legislation which has so purified
elections in New York City. and which
by its platform il pledges itself now to
extend to primaries. Each of these pre-
liminarv reforms has been persisteutIy
contested by our opponents.

To Punish the Corrupt.

Aside from all other considerations. no
greater service can be rendered to ones
party than TO use the utmost endeaVOr
to rid II of such a plague spot. Investi-
cation alone. if more can be accom-
plished, is not sufficient. Investigation
is merely the beginning of the task.
Where existing laws are sufficient 70
reach the men who have been RESPONSE
BILE for the shame. such men should be
relentlessly punished; where they are
not. additional legislation must be en-
acted to render such occurrences in the
future forever impossible.
The issue upon which the attention Of
the state during the last two years has
been most closely concentrated has been
that of direct nominations. We all rec
ognize and reprobate the evil at which
this remedy is aimed.
Our number Of elective offices is so
large and the consequent political ma
chinery involved in nominations so COM
pleX that the average citizen leaves such
matters TO the control of more or less
professional leaders or bosses. Upon
tho nominating convention. under such
circumstances. it is easier for the COM
pact special interests TO make their in
fiuenCe felt than for the unorganized
public at lar~e. out of these difficulties
arises frequently that corrupt combina-
ton Of dishonest business and venial
politics which is such a. serious menace
to our modern political life
