North Dakota Political Gossip


jamestown Alert: The primary cleo
ton law OF this state has long been
seen to be sadly lacking In the very
things for which II was put on the
statute books. 1t was passed as a
law chiefly to break up the convention
system of nominating candidates in
conventions. 1t was alleged that the
primary law would give every man a
square deal and put the worthy. cap
able and comparatively unknown man
on an equal footing for election to
Office, with others who had more
money or a wider acquaintance or
some other advantage. But the exper-
fence with the law in nearly every case
has not justified the claims of those
who demanded its passage. Instead
Of state or county conventions select
ed by voters at regularly called eau
cuses, in which every man had free
and equal chance for endorsement, and
in which various parts Of the state
were generally fairly well represented,
the system of nominating candidates
has now been framed up By self se=
lected committees of influential lead
ers." And they are comparatively
small In number.
Influential leaders are generally cam
Gidates themselves. They get together
and form combination and shut out
othe- candidates who may not seem
quite as influential. Most of the state
and congressional candidates who
have SO far appeared on the horizon
are the product of their own handi-
work and self selected committee.
The voters were assured before the
primary law was passed that no such
situation could be possible. But the
impossible has already come to pass.
The nominating committees even go
further. They attempt to say who shah
and who shall not be candidates. To
keep off opposing candidates the COM
mittee assumes the powe- of elimina-
ton. The lucky candidates get to-
gether and put a fence around them
selves and boost each other and knock
the other fellow who is trying to get in
the charmed circle. They combine
resources. and unite on plans and the
individual candidate with no backing
Is practically ruled Off the track in the
race at the start
No fair minded man will say. for an
instant that the old state convention
plan for nominating candidates for
state and congressional office is not
fairer, more representative of all parts
Of the state and juster to candidates.
Because there were some mistakes
made and occasionally some candidate
was selected as party favorite who
was not ideal. the convention plan was
cast aside for the new statewide prim-
airy law. The result in North Dakota,
as well as in other states has been dis
appointing in many ways.
In county and local elections the
primary principle works very well for
the qualifications of the various cam
tiidates are known or can be easily

learned by the voters. NO one objects
TO the application Of the right OF vot.
ers to select their own candidates,
and in small localities this can be done
with good results, for the people, and
good men secured. But when the aver
age voter comes to select the right
candidates for state offices and con-
gressional Offices, he is naturally un-
able to exercise the same good 5udg-
ment, for he does not know the worthy
and capable men in every locality or
part Of the state. County delegates se-
lected for this purpose. to meet at a.
state convention, have this knowledge.
and are better able to exercise 1t than
the individual voter.

Hansbrough Is one Of the best known
men in North Dakota political circles
today and has wide circle of friends
that would never cease boosting for
him should he signify his willingness
to become a candidate for the exalted

would certainly be q fitting way for
Senator Hansbrough to climax his POI

or faction ever proposed a cleaner or

kota stalwarts this year, when they
name Judge Edward Engerud as cam

The name of Judge Engerud is guar
antee Of idealest craftsmanship and
the voters Of North Dakota have long
since learned to value him at highest
worth. The candidacy of Judge En-
gerud this year will be a strong factor
in not holding intact the stalwarts of

in the past had allowed themselves
