only Just to remember that . clear
majority Of the Republican members
Of each house supported tho bill,
whereas three-fourths or over oe the
Democrats opposed It. This IL one
Of the cases where it Is easier to ap
portion individual than party rssponsI-
hility.
Those who believe that by thels
action they have definitely checked
the movement for direct popular prt
maries are. In my judgment, mistaken.
In it's essence. this is q movement 70
make the government more demo
cratic, more responsive to the wishes
and needs Of the people as q whole.
With our political machinery It 10 a..
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-government Ia
incomplete unless it includes tho right
~ thA - 4h~ ~
tween candidates when they have
been nominated, but also tho right to
determine who these candidates shall
be. Under our system of party gov
eminent, therefore, the voters should
be guaranteed the right to determine
within the ranks Of their respective
organizations who the candidates Of
tho parties will be, no less than the
right to choose between the cand.
dates when the candidates are pre-
scented them. There is no desire to
break down the responsibility Of
party organization under duly oonsti
tuted party leadership. but there h q
desire to make this responsibility real
and to give tho members Of the party
the right to say whom they desire TO
execute this leadership. In New York
state no small part OF tho strength Of
the movement has como from tho pop
ular conviction that many Of tho mso
most prominent In party lsadsrshlp
tend at times to forget than IN .
democracy the function Of q 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 leader
to understand that they derive thslr
strength from us, and that, although
we look to them for guidance. We OK
pect this guidance to be In accord
ance with our interests and ovl

which was stolen from Operator
Cochran by hold-up men last night.
The police were notified but when they

is unlikely, however, that he was one

have found the pass and asked for
no reward, merely turning it over to
