| cratic salvation lies solely in candid
! discussion and in the adequate eX-
preston of the popular will through
the selection of delegates.
Only Two Leading Candidates.
a hcalthful indication is that the
| merits of the possible candidates are
being weighed as never before. There
are only two leading candidates. Clark
and Underwood are available only as a
compromise. Only Harmon and VIII
son cover the whole field, for they
represent the two elements that seek
to control the party policy.
In the recent election returns a Ger
tain quarter of the press was quick 70
read a radical change in the position
of the candidates. But the situation
was hardly affected. In Ohio, only
municipal elections were held, which
had no bearing on the state admins
tration, and Democratic success was
chief1y-a rebuke to boss rule, as is evil
denced in the defeat of the Cox ma
chine in Cincinnati. In New Jersey,
the Democrats lost the state assembly
solely through the loss of Essex coun-
ty, the home of James Smith, Jr., the
former Democratic boss whose power
Wilson had def1ed and broken. In Es-
sex county through Smiths influence,
in spirit of revenge and to hurt the
governors presidential prospects, Dem
ocrats had been nominated publicly
pledged against the administration
policy, who were defeated without even
the ostensible support of the governor
In the senate the Republicans were
reduced to bare majority of one, and
the total Democratic vote in the state
according to official returns, exceeded
the Republican by several thousand.
As to Harmon.
Harmon has made an excellent gov
ernor of Ohio, all agree. But from
the standpoint of availability alone
there are insuperable objections to his
nomination for the presidency Not
an inconsiderable one is his age.
Should he be nominated and elected
he would begin his administration in
his sixty eighth year. No other man
has undertaken the presidency at that
age except the first Harrison, who
died in office. The Office is trying
and exacting on the physical man as is
no other. This is pre- eminently a day
that calls for active, aggressive, re-
sponsible leadership. From a partisan
point of view, the ideal candidate
should be. of an age at least to assure
the possibility of reelection; for the
party position is materially strength
ened If, after successful administra-
ton, the president is offered to sue
coed himself.
But the chief opposition to Harmon
is that the conservative forces have
centered on him. Whether unjustly
or not, he is looked upon as a reac-
tionary. 1t is certain conspicuous
party bosses are active in his behalf
The interests" seem to look upon him
with favor, and their organs within
the party, almost without exception,
openly or indirectly support him.
But If anything is unmistal1able in
the national situation today, it is that
Bourbon conservatism will not be toll
Grated at the polls. The Democratic
party must stand unequivoca1ty for a
progressive administrative policy, and
nominate a candidate in whom the
progressive tendency finds sympa-

ballots are distributed among the
other candidates in accordance with
the second choice thereon-that Is.
each candidate gets the ballot on
which his name is marked as second
choice. This may give some one
majority. If not. then tho lowest OF
the three remaining candidates is
eliminated, as above, and his ballots
are similarly transferred. When any
ballot contains as second choice the
name of the man already out of the
race, his name is passed over, the bal
lot going to the third choice.
The effect is to concentrate all the
votes upon the two remaining candi
dates, and he who is found to have
the greatest number of votes, original
and transferred, is declared the nomi-
nee.
There are other plans similar to this,
but this one is simple and practical.
My purpose has been to state this
plan briefly as practicable and 1 now
submit it with the hope that II may
tend to awaken interest in the matter
and be of some value to the people Of

HOW TO ELIMINATE
THE SECOND PRIMARY

I count myself fortunate to have re
ceived an invitation from The journal
to prepare an article for the holiday
edition on the subject How the Sec
ond Primary Can be Eliminated.
Fortunate, not in being able to sugN
gest a new idea, but in having, through
the medium of this paper. an oppor.
tunity to assist in giving publicity TO u
plan that should be of great interest
and will be, in my opinion, OF great
value to the people of the state.
The primary system of nominating
candidates for public office is the set
tied policy of the Democratic party in
this state. On two occasions OF recent
date the party has, at the polls, by
large majorities, expressed its oppo-
sition to the holding of a convention
by the party, and conversely, its ap-
prevail Of the primary system OF nomi-
mating candidates for office.
One Serious Primary Obstacle.
Some objections are urged to the
primary plan, but most of them can lie
remedied and corrected by legislation.
There is, however, one objection that,
because of its serious consequence,
stands out apart from all others:
namely, the expense incident to cam
paign in the primary. 1t is such that
a poor man, or a man of limited
means, however well qualified he may
be. is prohibited from making the race
for a state Office, or for congress, or
is so hampered that if he makes the
race he must do so at a great disad-
vantage.
This is manifestly wrong. There
should be a remedy. Every member
of the party should have equal liberty
and equal opportunity with every
other member to become a candidate
and make a campaign for any office,
S., l. 10
right should be preserved. Men should
not be measured by standards Of
wealth or poverty, nor should mem
bers of a political party; and the in
telligence of the party should be con-
centrated upon an effort to insure
equal opportunity to all its members.
The Remedy.
What is the remedy?
In this state a successful candidate
must receive a majority of the votes
cast. If no one receives a majority in
the first primary, a second primary is
necessary. 1t has been found that the
second primary is as expensive as the
first, and sometimes more expensive.
A partial remedy, then, is to elimi-
nate the second primary. 1t has been
done in other places; it can be done
in Florida.
In every case where there are more
than two candidates for any Office and
no one received a majority in the first
primary, the candidate finally nomi-
mated is not necessarily the first choice
of a majority of the voters partici-
pating in the election.
The plan to eliminate the second
primary is simply a method Of prefer
entail voting. That is to say, a
method by which an elector may indi-
cate on his ballot his first, second,
third and fourth choice of the candi-
dates for each Office.
A Simple Plan.
The plan is as follows:
Suppose that Smith, Brown, Jones

thetic expression, or it will face in
evitable defeat
What Wilson Stands For.
The availability OF Wilson lies III the
fact that he satisfies more clearly than
anyone else the positive temper of the
country today. The call is clear for
leadership radical. wise and fearless
enough to deal with and seek to rcgu
late the selfish and conflicting inter
ests within the country, that means
not destruction but the conservation
of our cherished institutions. II is 4
demand for an emancipation from boss
control, and from the gross abuses Of
corporate wealth in our political and
economic life; for the security of pop
ular government in America in fact as
we have long entertained it in theory.
1t is q call indeed for the highest
craftsmanship, when the leader shall
at once be radical. yet sound in theory
and entirely fearless; and fortunate,
indeed, if such leadership can be found.
Governor Wilson is radical; for to go
at the root of the matter in dealing
with our problems of government is
with him q habit OF mind. He is
sound in theory; for in his exposition
of our principles of government he is
not excelled by the early fathers them
selves. And he is utterly fearless, as
he has amply proven, to deal uncom-
promisingly with corruption within his
own party as well as out of it, and in
the light of pitiless publicity
Close to the People.
There are reasons to believe that in
all sections Of the country he would
make the strongest candidate. In New
York, for instance, appeals will be
made to support the Republican ticket
as deliverance from the rule of Muir
ply and Tammany Hall. Who else
could make such appeals ridiculous
but Wilson? In the west a progressive
must be nominated, if the party ex-
poets to carry single doubtful state.
Who else could find such ready ac-
ceptance as Governor Wilson?
The west already accepts him. And
here is a lesson from history. Jeffer-
sons hold ON the early Democratic
party lay in his sincere and consist
ent faith in the people. And the party's
strength in the pioneer west lay in the
fact that it was a peoples party; and
of power. Wilson today represents the
wing of the party closest to the peo-
pie. If the party expects another lease
of power, beginning in 1912. it must
look for new fields to conquer. And
these lie undoubtedly in the west.
There is an excellent chance for
Democratic success next year. But
the fateful game which foreshadows
played in July. IF the people fail to
portunity, there's no ground for COM
cards stacked against them.

Method of Counting.
A description of the method OF
counting will show how the wishes OF
this voter are given effect.
At the close of the polls the ballots
are sorted out according to the first
choice votes for each candidate no
heed being paid to the other figures
If any candidate has a clear majority
of first choice votes the count goes nc
further. He is declared the nominee
But if no one has received a majority
then the candidate who has the

and Greene are running for governor.
Each voter marks his ballot for all the
candidates in the order of his choice,
with the figures l, 2, 3 and 4. For in
stance, take a voter who wants Smith
to be elected, who thinks Greene the
most objectionable. and who prefers
Brown to Jones. The names being al
phabetically arranged, this voter will
mark his ballot thus:
Brown
Greene 4
Jones
Smith 1
BY thus marking his ballot the voter
says: Smith is my first choice. I
want my ballot to count for Smith if
possible. But if Smith has so few
votes that he can not be elected, then
