HOW PRIMARIES WORK
North Dakota Man Says Present
Method Is Better.
fFrom The Trlbuno Bureau ]

Washington, March 6-Chamber Kellar.
president Of the Lawrence County Taft
Club, telegraphed from Lead, :. D., 10 the
Taft headquarters to-day as follows:
notice Dixon's challenge for Presidential
primaries South Dakota has operated
under primary law for years and II is a
notorious fact that thousands or Democrats
have always voted in Republican primaries
for the purpose OF influencing nominations:
II such conditions prevail In the face Of
legal enactments. how much more would
such conditions exist under primaries held

suggestion is adopted? The present system
was good enough for US common people to
select Republican Vice-Presidential

President In le0i 10 nominate RooseVelt's 8
choice, Taft. in 1903, and we believe u is
sill a sufficiently adequate method OF as
certaining the real choice OF the people, at
Least until the people themselves have chal-
lenged the method In some lawful manner.

Chairman Dixon and Chairman Mckinley
10 make such arrangement Tor us.

Gratis and Socialists 10 participate In the
selection OF a Republican candidate, and
such. we lUSlsls Woblb ic9uiN Va
adontine Dixon's suggestion. In South Da-
kota this will not be the result this year,
owing 10 the fact that the Democrats are
TOO much interested IN the warm contest IN
tSs,r own ranks. and Democratic primaries
undtr the law are held on same day with
PenIiblican. But In those states having no

ISSUE PERFECTLY SIMPLE
SAYS COL. ROOSEVELT
Ex-President Aims to Secure Right Of People
to Decide for Themselves-Cares
Little for Methods

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has en- ar
ticle entitled do You Believe in the Rule
Of the People?" in the current issue of The
Outlook" The article, in part. IS as fol-
lows:
There has been much effort made to fog
the issue raised in my Columbus speech.
In reality, the issue IS perfectly simple:
Do you believe in the rule Of the people?
If you DO. you are with US. II YOU do not,
you are against US
am not primarily concerned with
methods. my aim is to secure the right Of
the people 10 decide for themselves. ac-
cording TO the principles of common sense
and justice. what the public pclicy shall
be in these matters. I am concerned with
the end, not the means. II in any state
the constitution so clearly defined the
power Of the Legislature 70 act for the
general welfare as to prohibit the courts
from rullfying any law that is consonant
with morality anj public policy as under
stood by a majority Of the people; and II
IN actual practice the courts respected
such constitutional prohibition. then there
would be no need for what ! propose; be-
cause in such case there would be fun
recognition of the absolute right of the
people 10 decide the policy Of their repre-
sentatives, legislative and judicial IN
these matters-and this is all for which
contend.
But in actual practice I know no state
where such conditions prevail; they GER
tainly do not prevail in the State Of New
York Therefore I hold that provision
should be made in the constitutions or
the several states which. in the event OF
q clash between the Legislature and the
court as 10 the constitutionalitv Of such
legislation as l have spoken Of should
permit the people themselves to decide
what The true Interpretation OF the con-
stitution is. I am not concerned with
terminOlogy. Whether this IS called
referendum 10 the people or whether It
IS called a shorter and simpler way OF
amending the Constitution, 10 my mind
matters nothing. The essential thing is
10 get the power for the people.
II is not merely untruthful but silly 10
say that such a process would leave us
at the mercy Of the mob" such
process as ! advocate would take al the
verv least two years time. If in two
years the people cannot come TO sober
and deliberate judgment, then II Is In
possible thar they should ever so come
If they have not the character and the
intelhgence to enable them. after two
years elaboration. after seeing the Whole
matter thrashed out by the Legislature
and before the executive and BY the court
