hc well to consider the possibility of
putting time limit on'the whole busi-
ness. 1t seems possible that the pres
cnt evils might be rcmeaed by setting
apart the month OF May, say. for the
presentation OF presidential claims to
tho country, and then running off tho
primaries and selecting tho delegates
to the national conventions all In one
week Certainly Il month OF tho type
OF appeals made this year is far more
than tho country desires. About half
an hour Is too much for personalities
and utilization that have no effect as
argument or reputation.
For the past four months many vital
interests OF the nation have suffered
because It was presidential year"
The uncertainty has . depressing ef-
feet on all business; the confusion Is
frequently used by Congress to cover
II palpable marking OF time; the or
binary citizen is distracted from the
daily vocation of life; and the aspir-
ants arc often called away from tho
urgent concerns OF craftsmanship to-
80 'sA"'VHS anu spectacular duty OF
campaigning. Tho life of the country
ana the dignity OF its officers suffer
in consequence
We doubt whether the actual light
given the voters by means OF which to
make wise choice is commensurate
with the energy and time expended
me insane syrations, whirlwind tours

aspirants should prove a. horrible OK
