PRIMARY LAWS
Judge &. W. olmsted in Speech
Before Trinity Mems Club
Denounces System.
IMPRACTICAL UNWoRKABLE
Ssys the Average Voter E1erciset
Hit or Miss Judgment in Nom
mating Candidates.

In speech before Trinity Mems
club last night Judge r ". Olmsted,
speaker OF the evening came out bold
" against the present primary law, de-
nouncing it az impractical and unwork-
able, and If anything, worse than the
caucus system, which preceded it
He offered a remedy which would
necessitate a revision of the state con-
stftUtion. a thing which he said ought
tc be done anyway. His plan, he frank
~ admitted, would not prove a popular
one, for II would tend to centralize the
powers of the state. He would have
me state run along lines similar 10 the
federal government. giving the govern
or authority TO appoint the majority
of the state of cers under him, instead
of requiring their election by the peo-
pie.
Is STRUCTURAL CHANGE.
The topic of the judges address was
Structural Changes in the Law" He
briefly reviewed some of the great
changes which have taken place IN the
law since the time OF the Magma
Charts' Of England He pronounced
rhe recent change from the caucus
form of nomination OF candidates TO
the primary election of them. one Of
me greatest changes that has ever
taken place.
He pointed out the merits and de-
merits of both caucus and primary sys-
TEN, and seemed to favor the former
rather than he
He declared that in mis- belief the
placing of the nominating power in
the hands Of the voters had not accom-
nlished that which II was meant 10. He
pointed out that il was an impossible
lty for the average voter 10 become
personally acquainted with the numer-
Gus men all over the state who desired
various nominations. and that in Sc
lecting some Of them by means OF 4
primary election the voters necessarily
had to exercise nit or miss judg-
ment
EXPEN SEs SERIOUS NATTER
The speaker also commented upCn
the enormous expenditures which have
become necessary 70 secure uOmiua-
lions a. primary elections. The ex-
pense TO both the candidates and TO the
voter is Increased many times over
what If was under the old system. He
cited several instances OF men ruu-
ming for nominations to state Offices
who had ruined themselves imam cialiy
in vain efforts 10 land nominations

Several Of these men spent as much

Even after the election. said the
speaker. the administration is not what
is best for the state Various factions
have come into control Of various
Offices, and the governor. instead of
working in harmony with these Off
GERS. finds them all pulling in different
directions.
GIVES REMEDY.
The remedy for the existing condi-
tons as outlined by the judge and
summed up briefly are. Permit the
people of the state at their primary
elections 10 nominate candidates for
the Office of United States senator.
state governor. possible lieutenant gov
ernor. aud all county and township
Offices Il Will grant" said the judge.
that the voters of Illinois could do
this in an intelligent manner. But as
70 the secretary OF state. state treas
urer and the host Of other state OF
fees. let the governor who was the
choice Of the voters name them. Then
there will at least be harmony in car
rying out the policies Of the governor.
The speech was listened to atten-
lively. and the ideas advanced appar-
emily met with tho approval OF the lis
tCners.
