The Primary Law
Editor Republican:

| have read a great deal
in the different papers published
throughout the state, with refer
ence to the many bad features
of our direct primary law, but
/ have not seen one word against
the most glaring, and the one
which is the greatest travesty on
the purpose, or supposed purpose
of that law, LET THE PEOPLE
RULE. We (the people, are told
that we should be only too glad
to foot the enormous expense OF
holding the primary election, be-
cause it takes the control of the
political machinery out Of the
hands of the politician and office
seeker, and places it directly In
control Of THE DEAR PEOPLE.
Lets see if that is the case.
Under the old system the peo-
pie met at their precinct primar-
les and elected delegates from
each precinct to the county con-
vention. These delegates, being
direct representatives of the peo-
pie of each precinct, elected the
county central committee. This
was probably as fair and just a
way as could be devised under
a representative form of govern
ment. The delegates were direct
ly from the people OF each pre-
cinct in the county, and the peo-
pie looked to them, and held them
responsible for the appointment
of the committee man of their
respective districts.
The only possible improvement
on this custom would be to let
the people of each precinct, by
their direct vote, elect their cen
trial committee man for their
precinct, at the direct primary
81 erection, which would be a very. very
simple matter, had they that
privilege.
But our direct primary law has
taken from the people any voice
in the matter, whatever, even
through representatives, and has
placed it ABSOLUTELY in the
hands of the office seeker, by
making it the duty of the candi-
dates nominated on each ticket,
to meet within one week and e.
lect a county central committee
As a consequence, you must be
seeking office on one of the coun-
ty tickets or you have absolutely
nothing to say nor any voice IN
the election of your county cen
trial committee under this law.
It takes no stretch of the ina
gination to see where the form
alton of a political ring could be
consummated that would make
former rings look like thirty
cents, especially when you take
into consideration the fact that
there are undoubtedly many cour
ties in the state situated similar.
ly to Elmore county, where ON
one ticket every candidate came
from the precinct in which the
county seat is situated, and every
candidate on the other ticket was
the same with one exception.
If the real intent of the law
is to let the people control, how
simple it would be to let them
vote for the person they desire
as committee man when i'm the
booth at the primary, voting for
the nomination of candidates ion
office.
Yours truly,
One of the Dear People.
