THE BUNGLING PRIMARIES,

The primaries held in various of the
States, have shown not only, as we
have noted heretofore, that the primary
system IS party wrecker and indeter

that they often absolutely prevent the
voters from directing what they want
and what they mean Thus. the dis
patches yesterday morning show that
IN Massachusetts the Taft delegates at
large suffered an average loss of up.

lots intended to favor Taft delegates
This was by reason Of the fact that
Mr.. Sieberlicb insisted upon going
upon the ballot as an Independent. max

only eight were 10 be voted for. All
ballots upon which these nine names
were voted had TO he thrown out under
the law. This cost Taft the delegates
at large. lnasmuGh as the Taft vote
on delegates at large was an average
Of $4,000, the loss to Taft on account
of Sieberlich's S obstinacy, amounted to
over 10000 votes. 1t is seen also that
the Taft alternate delegates at large
were elected in Massachusetts, bv about
the same plurality that was given TO
Taft over Roosevelt. 1t is clear case
therefore. that had there been only the
proper number Of Taft candidates for
delegates at large. that is, had there
