Popular choice of President.

Congressman Norris Of Nebraska,
progressive republican, has introduce
ed a bill providing that presidential
primaries be held throughout the
United States on the first Tuesday
in May each presidential year and
delegates be elected at the same time
to attend a national convention to be
held on the fourth Monday of that
year, the representation in the con-
vention to be determined by the
strength of the different political par
ties in each state. At the primaries
the voter would express his first and
second choice for president and the
results of the election certified by
the state officials and forwarded the
secretary of the interior who will
count the votes and declare the re-
suit. If any candidate received a
majority of all the votes he would
be the party nominee without any
action by the convention, but if there
is no majority the convention would
select a candidate.
We are not acquainted with the
details of the bill but believe the
general plan of it is good. 1t would
destroy the unfair influence of the
South in selecting republican candi-
dates and would give the people full
expression of their will. These are
two results that we believe would be
beneficial and Just to the public. We
certainly hope some improvement
will be made before another presi-
Dental contest.

The sum of $5O,5S325 represents
the automobile registration and IL
cense fees received by the Office of the
secretary of state for the quarter
ending May 81, 1912, an increase OF

hand amounted to $1,325 in 1903
and $1,000 in 1912 and operators IL
cense amounted to $2,068 in 1903
and $4,716, in the 1912 quarter.

Of the people and their desires will
be more promptly and more com
pletely reflected in our laws.
The party has gone forward under
the pressure of the prOgressives in
the regulation Of our railways and
other transportation companies un-
til now justice is fairly done through
a supervisory tribunal which holds to
a remarkable degree the confidence
of the country. We have little by
little created an overpowering SEN
timent for the more effectual proven
ton of combination and monopolies
and very soon a measure will be
adopted so strengthening the anti
trust law that reasonable rivalry in
production and distribution will be
restored and maintained. This meas
ure touches the gravest problem in
American life and will better protect
the people against the power of con-
centrated capital and the evils of
overgrown fortunes. 1t will have a
tendency at least to give men all that
they fairly earn and to destroy the
opportunity which the strong now
have to Cypress the weak.
The wisdom and practicableness of
Senator Cummings decision must
appeal to all Thoughtful voters.

PRIMARIES IN CALIFORNIA
G. v. Barton Writes of the Improve.
ments They Have Brought

u " barton writes OF the Improve
ments They Have Brought
To the Editor of the Caledonian:
Sir, thank you for printing my
letter, and for the courteous COM
ment thereon. / had not intended
further to trespaSs on your space,
but your closing paragraph seems to
call for a reply. l quote:
IF our memory serves us correct
ly, California has been credited with
being a hotbed of political corrup-
ton, and that the most fragrant ex-
amples of it have not been in the
election of it's United States senators
by the legislature, but Offices filled
by direct appeal to the people. Are
we correct in this, Mr.. Barton?"
California has been "a hotbed of
political corruption
Some. of its most fragrant examples
have been in offices not filled through
election by the legislature.
But
These examples were in offices fill
ed by nominations by convention
the old way dominated by machine
politicians and bosses-the old way
in which the wishes of the people
were seldom carried out-the old
way, by which the voters did NOT
name the nominees for Office.
We have a cleaned house. The
vicious and corrupt domination Of
the interests, headed by the South
ern Pacific Railway company, for
more than rs years past, has been
broken. For the first time in many
years we have a governor who actu-
ally represents the people as against
the interests. A legislature ditto.
We have one United States sena-
rot selected through direct primar-
les. We will have another when
the time comes.
Direct primaries, backed by a
quickened public opinion, have per-
formed the housekeeping. Not mere
ly in congressional and state offices,
but in municipal politics also.
In Los Angeles it is no longer pos
sible for the interests to name the
mayor and other important elective
officials. AS a result, we have one
of the best governed cities in the
United States.
In California-noW-th people
not only elect their public servants
but they nominate them.
Speed the day when Vermont
no longer a rotten borough for the
election of United States senators
shall do likewise!
Again 1 thank you.
Yours very truly,
CHARLES V. BARTON
Los Angeles, CAL, June %, 1912.

The National Campaign

The lines apparently are pretty
clearly drawn in the national cam
paign for president and vice presi-
dent and it seems equally clear that
it will be mainly between the two
old parties, republicans and demo
Gratis. The nominations made by
these old opponents leaves nothing
on which to base a radical bolt from
these parties as the democrats have
selected candidates ready to promise
almost anything in the hope of win
ming votes. The republicans on the
contrary have selected candidates
who are strong believers in certain
principles and propose to stand on
those principles regardless of how
it may affect their personal fortunes.
Evidently the democratic party
has been more favored in the per-
sonnet of it's ticket. Governor Will
son and Marshall each live in impor-
tant states in determining the cleo
ton Of a president and their popu-
larity at home will have it's effect
in the republican vote. Neither of
these men has been identified with
any national political undertaking
and so has not engendered any ma
tionaI enmity or opposition. Each
one of them talks glibly in favor of
new propositions in government and
favorable talk for untried expert
ments that look we'll on the surface
is an element of strength in politics,
but not always in good government.
The republicans on the other hand
have selected the two men who have
been at the head of the national gov
eminent for the past four years and
thy will be measured more by what
they have and have not accomplish
ed than by any promises they make
for the future. The term of their
power has been characterized by
some personal enmities caused by Sc
lection of officials, by a change in
the tariff law which always leaves
some dissatisfied factions and by a
campaign of the most abusive and
unjust personal talk of recent
years. So much of the false has
been INDUCED in that a large por-
ton of the American people are to-
tally unable to entertain an honest
or creditable opinion of Messrs Taft
and Sherman. So the party is hand
icaped in the personnel of its ticket.
But there is another side of the.
situation. Despite all the charges
and bitterness engendered within
the party no man can show that
President Taft has ever proven false
to the position he holds. He has
never shirked a responsibility no mat
ter what disagreeable results were
involved; he has never been dishon-

Sen. Cummings Sane Stand.

Sen. A. B Cummings of Iowa has
issued a statement of his position in
the present campaign that will be
approved by most sensible American
voters. He declares that he shall not
join any third party but shall con-
tinue to use call the strength 1 have
to influence and direct the course of
the republican party toward it's true
mission He belives that he vigil
ance of the friends of good govern
ment will prevent the recurrence of
any dishonest acts that have been
committed in the past and says 1--WE
cannot rid ourselves of bosses by
organizing another party" cit is no
more difficult to deprive the old boss
es of power than to prevent the ap-
pearance Of new ones" The wis
dom of these statements will be ap-
parent to all free from the ambition
of becoming "a new boss"
Speaking of what has been ac-
complished by the progressives with
in the party he says:
In taking account of the achieve
ments of the last few years it must
not be forgotten that the influence of
the progressiveS in the republican
party has accomplished results of
the most gratifying and cOmprehen-
sive character. When l compare the
position of the reactionaries of ten
years ago and their position now
am conscious, and it is a reassuring
reflection, that although we have
travelled slowly we have travelled
far.
The progreSsives have gradually
forced the primary election into gen
eral acceptance as a substitute for
the caucus in making party nomina-
tions and we have at last secured the
submission of an amendment to the
Constitution for the direct election
of United States senators. When
the primary election system is per-
fected and when it is everywhere ac-
companied with a provision making
it a criminal offence to expend large
sums of money in campaigns, and
when the proposed amendment to the
Constitution is ratified by the states,
as / believe it shortly will be, the
government will be in full possession
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1912-07-10

est in his purposes; he has never
allowed personal advantage to ef-
feet his loyalty to public service and
interests but he has recommended
and urged legislation that would Sc
cure more intelligent and honest re-
suits and effect material economy
in the conduct of the government.
His judgment, like that of every 9TH
er human being, is not infallible but
his honesty and independence in en-
forcing the laws on the statute book
have never been questioned. His
recommendations to congress have
never been for the benefit of private
interests but for the Improvement of
actual conditions. No president can
claim a clearer or better record in
these particulars. Republican per-
Torrance should count for more
than democratic promise no matter
how fair the promiser may be.
The advantage is with the repub-
licans in the tariff policy. The dem
ON4 dlo uCCldlC NudI q LcA4 III LII 4CN-
enue is all the government can le-
gally demand and that the protection
of American industry is no part of
a governments power. This is no
new or untried theory. 1t has been
tried several times and never failed
to work harm to American industry.
How it can be expected that it will
prove more beneficial now is not
easily understood. The. promise is
a good one but the thing promised
is anything but desirable.
The republican party promises in
telligent revision of the tariff along
definite lines. 1t promises first an
Independent investigation of the diff
ference in the cost of production of
all articles abroad and at home and
the reduction of the tariff as far as
it can be done without disastrously
affecting the wages of American la
Dor and legitimate profits of Ameri-
can producers. This. too, is policy
that has been tried and has never
failed to increase American indus
try and lead to the increased expen-
diture of American money at home.
The certainty with which this policy
has worked in the past is the strong
est guarantee of it's benefits in the
future. The republican stands for
American labor, the democratic par
ty for open competition with the
undesirable conditions of foreign Ia
Dor. The democratic party offers
unframed men to work for an un-
desirable policy, the republicans
men whose honesty, and long years
of training are pledged to the &C
complishment of that which has
been beneficial in the past and all
new legislation that will actually
benefit the people as d whole. There
is no reason why an honest citizen
should not but many reasons why
he should vote the republican ticket
in the elections of 1912.

1t looks as though the country
may witness something like the Bal
linger-Pinchot row in the treasury
department owing to the dismissal of
Assistant Secretary A. P. Andrews.
This subordinate got unmanageable
and was asked by Sec. McVeagh to
resign. Pres. Taft after learning
about the situation also demanded
his resignation. Andrew has resign
ed and issued a letter charging Sec.
McVeagh with everything but .decen-
cy and competency. Of course these
charges will find lodgment with that
class of people always ready to be-
lieve something against a man but
thus far it looks like the ordinary
case of a discharged man saying un-
pleasant things about the man who
discharged him.

Woodrow Wilson before he became
a candidate for president said that
$3.50 per day was wages enough for

Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Re
move Them With the New Drug.
ERECKLES


An eminent skin specialist recent
ly discovered a new drug, othine-
double strength, which is so uni
formly successful in removing
freckles and giving a clear, beauti-
full complexion that it is sold by w.
B. Eastman under an absolute guar
antee to refund the money if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first night S
use will show a wonderful improve
ment, some of the lighter freckles
vanishing entirely. 1t is absolutely
harmless, and cannot injure the most
tender skin.
Be sure to ask w. B. Eastman for
the double strength othine; it is this
that is sold on the money back guar
