OBJECTION TO PRIMARY LAW

SOmc OF the Call1Ornla Direct
Primary Law provisions, after
which the Nevada law is patterned
are meeting with objection,
especially in regard to the petition
clause. In speaking of the matter
the Sacramento Bee says.
Experience in California and
other states show the need of doing
away with the present cumbersome
requirements of petitioning to
enable candidate for a party
nomination to get his name upon
the primary ballot.
"The object to this requirement is
to prevent the loading of the ballot
with multitude of candidates.
But petitioning involves burden
of expense and trouble, and its
object is better attained by dispens-
ing with petitions and requiring
merely the filing of bond.
'Such a bond calls for the pay
ment of a stipulated sum in case
the can didate shall fail to obtain,
a certain proportion of the votes
cast. This is sufficient to prevent
irresponsible persons from getting
their names on the ticket.
petitions should also be done
away with in the case of Independent
candidates haing no party nomiation
and seeking place on the election
ballot.
ut is not good public policy to
make candidacy for office expensive
and troublesome. This tends to
shut out honest men of small
means, and play into the hands of
grafters and tools of corporations,
who expect to profit crookedly by
all political OUTLAWS.
ut is sound principle that the
Office should seek the man, and
not the man the Office. And there
is neither sense or consistency in
calling upon the best citizens to
serve the republic as a matter of
duty and at a personal sacrifice to
themselves, and at the same time
requiring them to assume the at
titude of supplicants for signatures
to a petition, in order that they
may get their names on either the
primary or the election ballot.
"The principle of the direct
primary is not involved in the
objection to needless petitioning.
Nor is it to the discredit of the
direct primary idea that in Penn
sylvania and other states certain
candidates have spent large sums
of money in campaigning for party
nominations at primaries. The
law should not only forbid more
than a reasonable and proper
stipulated GU lay, but also provide
such severe penalties for violation
as to prevent anything of the
kind"
