OWEN IN THE SENATE
SCORES PARTY BOSS
Declares People Do Not Rule
Under the Present Polit-
ical System.

Declaring that popular distrust of
executive bodies is undermining the con-
fidence Of the people" and pleading for
publication Of present politics, ZEN
ator Robert l. Owen today addressed
the Senate in support Of his resolu-
ton for an amendment TO the Con-
sutUtion 10 make Senators elective by a
direct vote Of the people
The greatest Of all issues not only
in the United States, but throughout
the civilized world, is the issue of popu-
lar government, or government by con-
vention. or government by machine pol
itics,' said Senator owen.
The great evil from which the
American people have suffered in re-
cent years has been the secret but
well-knOwn alliance between COM
merciaI interests and machine poll
tics, by which commercial interests
have endeavored and often succeeded
In obtaining legislation giving them
special advantages in nation, State,
and In municipalities over the body
Of American people and obtained ad
ministrative and judicial immunity so
that the laws have not been proper
ly enforced against them; by which
means they have enriched themselves
at the expense Of the American peo-
pie, at the expense Of Democrats and
Republicans alike; by which private
individuals have become enormously
rich and many millions of people in
tellectually. physically. financially, OF
morally weak havea been reduced to
poverty and 10 a condition Of relative
financial, industrial. and moral degra-
dalton.
Convention System At Fault.
The evils which have crept into
our Government have grown up natu-
rally under the convention system,
not through the faults Of any particu-
lar man. The system Of delegated
government affords too open and
abundant opportunities for CONNER
cialism and fer mere self seeking po-
htical ambition.
In some cases delegated government
even under machine form, is perfectly
upright, perfectly honest, and serves
the cause OF the people eXcellently
we'll, but the mechanism Of govern

THE WASHINGTON TIMES TUESDAY, MAY 81, 1910.

ment by the delegate plan affords too
many temptations for the alliance OF
commercialism and political ambition
An ordinary State convention, under
the machine-rule plaE, is composed OF
delegates delegated from county con-
YenuonS; the county conventions con-
sist Of delegates delegated from the
ward primary: the ward primary con-
sists of ward boss, a bouncer or two,
and a crowd of strikers who do not
represent the actual membership OF the
T3rty voters OF that ward. so that when
a Senator is nominated by a State con-
vention he Is often three degrees re-
moved from the people, and is the
choice Of a machine and does not really
feel his duty TO the inarticulate mass.
THE great political need of the
United States is the establishment OF
direct rule of the people, the over
throw Of machine politics, the overthrow
Of corrupt or unwise use Of money, in
timidatiou. coercion, bribery: the over
throw of the various crafty corporate
and political devices which have here
tOfOre succeeded in multiplying the will
of the people.
The great issue is TO restore the
direct rule Of the people as members OF
parties and within both parties, and 10
abate the malign influence Of machine
methods.
People Do Not Rule.
IAN the people have is the power to
ana thus they exercise some influence
in reality rule.
THE peonle appear to rule through
the present machinery OF party govern
ment. hut they do not rule in fact. be-
cause the patty machinery IS so largely
in the hands of machine men. is so
