the American version, with book Otto

has scored a triumph even greater
than its foreign contemporaries. 1t

ARouslNG INTEREST OF VOTERS.

h ESPITE all the new schemes and reforms in
- the machinery of government the reformers
have difficulty in arousng the interest Of voters
public questions.
There is probably more interest than ever be-
FORE but it is not great as the advocates of new
measures desire. Out in Los Angeles, Cal, they
have the initiative and referendum and the recall
and they are about to enter upon a comprehensive
scheme of public ownership of public utilities.
Still with all this, there is complaint that the vot-
ers do not take sufficient interest in primary nom-
nations They have devised scheme to bring
the voters to the polls in Los Angeles as follows:
First Of all, the candidates for nomination can
get their names on the primary ballot only through
petitions. The ballots printed without party
designations To enable the people to inform
themselves candidates the ballot has been great
ly shortened by reducing the number of elective
officers. The new and striking thing is that if a
candidate receives majority of all the votes cast
at a primary election he is declared elected-not
merely nominated-and does not need to stand for
election again. Where there is no majority, the
two candidates receiving the highest number of
votes, regardless of party, are the nominees for
the regular ticket
By making the primary election possible final
election in some instances, the voters will be less
disposed to stay away from the polls
We hear so much about the referendum cleo
tions in the West, about how the women have prac-
tcally taken command of political matters that we
are leu 10 suppose that poltcs must be at FEVER
heat when one of these election is held. But this
supposition is not borne out by the facts
AT Tacoma Washington, it will be recalled that
the other day referendum vote an anti-treat-
ing ordinance passed by the City Council was ap-
proved by vote Of S468 to 1854. little more
than $4,000 votes we're poed and yet the number
of registered voters in Tacoma is 2l 5S7. Not
more than two-thirds OF the voters went TO the
polls One-third of them, after all the agitation
Of the referendum, did not care whether the good
Spender' permitted to "set-them-up" or not
Had there been personal candidates for office.
no doubt the vote would have been much larger
Under our local option election in Delaware it
was large, and il is probable that on such ques-

mington today would be larger than that Of
