THE PRIMARY LAW.

While for purely tech c II OBJ
jections that did not strike at the
merits of the act, the mandatory pri-
mary law of 1909 was swept from the
statute books by the decision of the
supreme court last Saturday, as mat
ter Of fact and of principle, the courts
opinion was a distinct victory for the
cause of popular government. In
every essential it upheld and sus-
tanned the contention of the advocates
of the measure. 1t settles for all
time the right of the peoples repre-
sentatives, within certain reasonable
limitations, to provide a compulsory
primary plan for the selection of party
nominees. Should public sentiment
so decree, there are now no obstacles
TO prevent the enactment of a manda-
tory primary law that will stand the
test of court scrutiny.
Every material objection of the
state Democratic machine to the law
in question was overruled by the
court of last resort. The real vital
question at issue was whether or not
primaries were elections within the
meaning of the constitution 1t was
the emphatic insistence of the attor-
new general for the state that they
were not: that the constitution made
no provision whatever for the enact
ment of legislation of this character;
therefore, the legislature, within the
limits prescribed by the organic law,
as the direct and continuing agents OF
the people, had inherent power to pro-
vide for party nominations. This prin-
ciple, so vital to the cause of good
government, the court by unanimous
opinion, and in the most emphatic
language, fully sustained. The court
in plain and unmistakable terms held
that primaries, safeguarded and pro-
tected by law, were in the interest OF
good government. The demagogic ap-
peals made to prejudice and passion
by the paid attorneys of the machine
to create a sentiment against the law,
fell upon deaf ears and received that
rebuke which they so richly merited.
J Of course, the immediate effect of
the decision will be discouraging. 1t
leaves the machinery of the Demo
cratic party at the mercy of Governor
Patterson and his desperate crew of
political cut-throats and buccaneers.
They have not and will not hesitate
to use this power to thwart the will
of the people. In fine and in short,
the "circle of sovereignty" is complete
within the committee. 1t will prescribe
the methods, fix the time, define the
qualifications for making party nom1-
nations with absolute disregard of the
rights of the people. 1t will name
the election officers, canvass the vote, |
select the delegates, write the plat7
FORM 80,
Temporarily, the great cause of good +,
government has been wrecked upon
the tempestuous sea of technicalities,
but the principle survives, and in the
end will triumph.
Times change and men change
with them, but principles never"
Have courage, Democrats. The VIC
tory of the machine Is a barren one.
Success will yet crown the efforts of
that grand Old Guard of the Demo
cratic party which is enlisted for the
war.

TIE ELECTION LAW.

Judge Shields great opinion, sus-
tanning the constitutionaIfty Of the
election Law Of 1908. marks an epoch
/ in the progress Of man toward real
Democracy.
/ Il Is a milestone in the onward
march toward liberty.
1t will ever stand as one Of the bea-
con lights Of freedom.
It forever denies the monarchial
claim that Offices in Tennessee can be
allied only by appointment Of the gov
ernor.
1t will always guarantee the rights
Of the peoples representatives to dis
charge their constitutional functions
without the aid OF consent of the gov
ernor.
NeVermore shall we hear the hated
doctrine that in Tennessee, in the
morning light of the twentieth cen
fury, an independent department OF
the government connot act within its
constitutional sphere save at the will
of the governor
Never again will a governor Of the
old Volunteer State attempt to defeat
and thwart the peoples will and i'm
pede the progress of good government
by a shameless conspiracy with mi
nority of faithless senators.
This decision gives the people of
Tennessee the first genuine election
reform that they have had these forty
years.
For the first time minority parties
are given fair, genuine and honest
at the polls.
No longer shall it be said of Ten
nessee elections that they are decided
in advance of the casting of ballots
by the power that appoints those who
should record the peoples will.
Fraud and force and chicane at the !
ballot box must henceforth yield to
the will of a majority, honestly ex-
pressed and truthfully registered.
From this time election returns will
be accepted by the people at their full
face value.
This law recognizes that while men
may differ upon political, economic
and governmental questions, there can |
be no difference among honest citizens
the purity of elections and
the sacredness of the ballot box. !
The lesson that this law teaches is
one that every boy should learn; 1t
is one that should make for the uplift !
Of the masses, for the protection of
our institutions.
In sustaining this election law, the
court in clarion tones an !
That government in Tennessee I
must henceforth rest upon the con-
sent of the governed.
That to obtain control in this state
parties must appeal to the conscience
and minds of majority of the cleo
,orate and not to the baser passions
If election thieves.
That the day has long since passed
when Office holders, enjoying little
orief authority, may prove faithless to
heir trusts, secure in control Of venal
election machinery and unconcerned
IS to the opinion of majority of their
'ellow citizens.
Judge Shields opinion will take its
,lace among the great court decisions
If the English speaking people. 1t
VIII stand forever a monument to his
patriotism, his zeal for Democracy and
lis untiring research. !
Beyond all this it will forever point
he way to free ballot and fair
count in Tennessee.
