he abandoned his policy Of reticence
and, declaring that his back was to the

would mean the end of the national
conventions Of the great parties. More
than that. it would probably mean
the abolition Of the electoral college
and of the possibility of the election
of presidential candidate who has &C
tually received smaller popular vote
than his unsuccessful opponent.
Among the objections urged against
the new primary system is it's failure.
as it's opponents allege, to bring large
proportion Of the voters to the polls.
The vote in North Dakota was small.
and that in New York. which had a
primary characterized by Colonel
Roosevelt as "a criminal farce" was
much smaller comparatively. In I'LL
nois and Pennsylvania, however, the
general interest displayed and the size
of the vote polled were such as to give
little color to this objection.
An Unprecedented Spectacle.
If it has done nothing else the first
trial of the presidential primary has
furnished the people of the United
States new experience. Never before
have president and an ex-president
''stumped" the country in contest for
delegates. After trips to Massachu
sets and Maine in the interests Of his
candidacy Colonel Roosevelt visited
Illinois on the eve Of the primary cleo
ton and reaped the reward of his dill
gence in the overwhelming victory in
the Prairie State which gave his can
didacy its first decided impetus. Then
came the upheaval In Pennsylvania, t.
which he had given some personal at
tention, though not so much as to ILL
nois. AS the date Of the Massachusetts
primaries approached, both the colonel
and the president decided that an i'm
portant job of fence mending called
them to the Bay State, and they con-
Quoted their repairing operations

onlookers-with hammer and tongs
The result was so little decisive (many
of the Massachusetts voters, by the
way, being apparently unequal to the
task of casting their ballots according
to their real preferences) that both
contestants decided to continue their
joint debate at long range tactics in
Maryland and Ohio. Maryland went
somewhat gingerly, to be sure-for
Roosevelt, and the presidents advisers
thought that the result might have
been different If their candidate had
talked oftener and more strenuously.
So when Roosevelt invaded Ohio. the
presidents own state, the latter pre-
pared to defend his candidacy with all
the energy that farmer displays
when the boys of the neighborhood
have served notice Of a raid on his
watermelon patch. The personalities
Of the Maryland and Massachusetts
struggles were outdone as the two
came to grips on the hustings of the
Buckeye State. The result justified
the presidents apprehensions. The au
dacious invader did get away with the
better part Of his melons.
Neither Taft nor Roosevelt entered

in person into the primary contest in
California. The striking feature of its
prediction campaign was the large
participation Of women. who must be
credited with share in Roosevelt's de-
cisive victory in the newest suffrage
state.

senate. He was one Of the earliest ad-

Albert Baird Cummins, senator from
Iowa, is the oldest of the four candi-
dates, having been born sixty-two years
ago. Like President Taft and Senator
La Toilette, he is lawyer. He has
been thrice elected governor Of Iowa.

terms in the senate, he has been one
