THE NEED OF POLITICAL SANTA
TION.

In a vital spot the nation is polit-
ically SICK. and every evil consequence
of bad government flows from this
source.
That fanlt Is a system by which
with men interested in politics as a
business. and who are Influenced in
following politics merely for profit.
Since the war. the convention as q
system of party mechanism has grown
to be grossly abused and has become
an agency through which sinister
commercial forces operate in the on
troll, first OF party government and
secon of government itself. Under
machine politics of boti political par
ties, where these influences operate.
YOU will find a precinct boss. who
manages tne precinct primary. He
calls the primary meeting on short
notice obscure advek isement and la
an inconvenient or unpleasant room.
He fills the room with his own strik-
ers: he names the precinct delegate.
Tne members and voters of his party
in that precinct do not name the pre-
cipct delegate. They are not present
for various reasons "
II mas been said. | care not who
elects if I can name the candidates
of both parties. Selection 10 more i'm
portant than election.
1t is easy to perceive how this evil
condition tan be remedied. The mem
bers of the Republican party In every
precinct. in every state where machine
politics are entrencned should organ
izs a liharfN- lna mr. q Rnnafhli.an
league. with a president and secre-
ta-y. and with a postal vote without
leaving their homes. should nominate
the precinct delegate and every other
candidate il they like.
Will o suggest that the political
machine would pay no attention to
the nomination of the majority of the
members of the party in the precinct
of the precinct delegate? answer
a federation of sucn precinct lit
erty leagues could sweep the machine
out OF existence and defeat evary
candidate named by the machine:
that sach an organization of precinct
leagues throughout the state could be
easily accomplished, and in that con-
tingency could by postal vote name
its own delegates to a state conven-
ticn who would represent the rank
and file of the party and could oust
rcl position any political party
heretofore existing.
The same policy pursued by the
members of the Democratic party
would break down the evil consequent
ees Of machine politics and restore
the political health of the nation In
both great parties. The nation has
been sick with political corruption, /
vita political ~self-seeking M with
corrupt alliance between 1achine
and commercial interests
engaged in the exploitation of the
people by artificial high
prices. by national statute. by state
