East Africa II IS utterly impossible for
a stranger to realize that he IS under

and healthy II is a white mans coun-

majority In both houses of the legis-
lature which refused to carry out the
Republican governors recommends
tions; and although it was only a
minority of the Republican members
which brought about this refusal, the
party cannot escape measure of re-
sponsibility for the failure; but Il is
only just to remember that a clear
majority of the Republican members
of each house supported the bill,
whereas three-fourths or over Of the
Democrats opposed it. This is one
of the cases where 1t is easier to ap-
portion individual than party RESPONSE
bility.
Those vino believe that By their
\ action they have definitely checked
the movement for direct popular pri
maries are. in my judgment. mistaken.
In its essence, this is movement to
make the government more demo-
cratic, more responsive to the wishes
and needs of the people as a whole.
With our political machinery 1t is es-
sential to have an efficient party, but
the machinery ought TO be suited to
democratic and not oligarchic customs
and habits. The question whether in
self-governing republic we shall
have self-governing parties is larger
than the particular bill. We hold that
the right of popular self,goyernment is
Incomplete unless 1t includes the right
of the voters not merely to choose be-
tween candidates when they have
been nominated, but also the right to
determine who these candidates shall
be- Under our system of party gov
,ernment, therefore, the voters should
be guaranteed the right to determine
within the ranks of their respective
organizations who the candidates of
the parties will be, no less than the
right to choose between the cand'
dates when the candidates are pre-
sented them There is no desire to
break dow the responsibility of
party organization under duly consti-
tnted party leadership, but there is Z.
desire to make this responsibility real
and to give the members of the party
the right to say whom they desire to
execute this leadership. In New York
state no small part of the strength of
the movement has come from the pop.
ular conviction that many of the men
most prominent in party leadership
tend at times to forget than in a
democracy the function of political
leader must normally be to lead. not
to drive. We. the men who compose
the great bulk of the community. wish
to govern ourselves. We welcome
leadership, but we wish our leaders
to understand that they derive their
strength from us, and that although
we look to them for guidance, we ex-
pect this guidance TO be in accord
ance with our interests and our
ideals.
