OUR DIRECT PRIMARY LAW
"

Whether the average standard of
all candi dates selected by the peo-
pie at the primaries is higher than
that of those nominated by conven-
tons is a debatable question. There
doubtless has been some improve
ment in the nominations for county
offices. The voters have shown ex-
cellent judgment in making selec-
tons from among aspirants whom
they know personally or by reputa-
ton. But if better men have been
nominated for state offices it is sim
ply because of good guessing and
good luck. 1t is safe to assert that
at the last primary election two
thirds of the men and women who
went to the polls selected a majority
of their candidates on the state ticket
without the slightest knowledge of
their qualifications or records. Men
who for years had taken an active
part in the politics of the state and
enjoyed very wide acquaintance,
found in the lists of candidates the
names of many persons of whom
they had never heard There were
probably very few voters who could
have selected a full ticket of candi-
dates and given an intelligent reason
for each one of their selections.
Here is weakness in the law, for
which remedy must be found. If
the voters are to make satisfactory
nominations, they must in some way
be informed as to the characters and
qualifications of the candidates from
whom they are to make their selec-
tons. Two methods of solving this
problem suggest themselves. One is
the short ballot and the other is for
each party to hold an advisory con-
Vention which shall name several
persons for each place on the state
ticket, and then let the voters at the
primary election select their candi-
dates from among these nominees.
confine the elective state officers to
the governor and lieutenant COVER
nor, the governor to appoint the
other state officials, just as the
president appoints the members OF
MS cabinet. The advantage of this
plan would be that If the people were
To n IN OF 1lGnI
the governor and lieutenant COVER
nor only, they would be willing and
able to familiarize themselves with
the records and qualifications of the
candidates for these offices, so as to
vote intelligently. The governor
would be directly responsible to the
people for the acts of the officials ap-
pointed by him and this would be an
incentive for him to secure efficient
and trustworthy subordinates VINO
would work in harmony instead of at
cross purposes. The objection to the
plan Is the Capitalization of power
In the hands of one man, and the
danger that he might use it to build
up a machine to perpetuate himself
In office. This danger, however, Is
minimized by the fact that he would
nave to secure a denomination from
the people and they have a discon-
certing habit of smashing machines
every now and then.
The argument in favor of the ad-
yisory nominating convention Is that
some OF the delegates would be ac-
quainted with and able to give in
formation regarding each candidate
considered. II a ballot were taken
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1913-04-18

tCT each office aud the three or four
men receiving the highest number of
votes were then declared the candi-
dates for the nomination for that Of
flee, their names to be submitted to
the voters at the primaries, it is evil
dent that it would be impossible and
useless for any boss or combination
to attempt to control the nomina-
tons.
The provision of the present law
which requires every aspirant for a
nomination to file declaration of
his candidacy has doubtless kept
many first class men from going be-
fore the primaries, because they
think that such a declaration places
them in the attitude of being office
seekers, which is obnoxious to them.
This defect could be remedied by the
adoption of the provision in the Idaho
law which permits a person. friends
to file petition that his or her name
be placed on the primary election
ballot as a candidate for some nomi-
nation, and allows a certain time
within which the person so named
may either agree or refuse to enter
the race. AS result many excellent
candidates are brought into the field
who could never be induced to file a
declaration that they were seeking
the nomination.

| The manufacturers of food prod
uct whose advertising methods arr de-
scribed in a recent issue of Printers
Ink are said to be great believers in
sampling. The reason for their faith
are rather peculiar. They set aside
certain arbitrary sum for distrib-
uting samples in a given locality. II
the resultant increase in sales in that
locality is equal to the expenditure for
sampling, the sampling is regarded as
successful advertising!
There are a dozen methods by which
almost any concern can advertise its
wares and recoup the advertising ex-
penditure. But the object Of most
business men-either manufacturers
or retailers-is to make their advertis-
ing pay for itself and produce the larg-
est possible surplus for the advertiser.
Really successful advertising is the
kind that brings the greatest results
to wit, and particularly for the ex-
ploitation of food product for which
there should be a demand in every
home, daily newspaper advertising.
We do not condemn sampling. But
the result of sampling, compared with
the results of an intelligently-plann
newspaper campaign, are a joke

ASKS SULTAN'S HELP.
Mohammedan Tribes to Be Told
Their Religion Is Safe.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The aid OF
the sultan of Turkey in insuring peace
in at least a section of the Philip
pines is to be sought by Major John
P. Finley, L. S. A, who left here to-
day for Constantinople.
Major Finley goes as the special
representative of the United states as
well as minister plenipotentiary from
the 100000 Mohammedan tribesmen
He will attempt to get from the sui
tan, as leader of the Mohammedan re-
ligion, an open letter instructing the
tribesmen to submit to United States
sovereignty and pointing out to them
that it will be to their advantage
Major Finley, who for ten years
was governor over the people of the
southern provinces of the islands, will
seek to have the sultan assure the
Mussulmans that their religion will be
respected under American rule Not
'ong ago these people were told by
eitators according to Major Finley,
hat the Americans would use the
axes collected from them to over
throw their faith. A public meeting
was held and Major Finley was Sc
lected to present their case to Presi-
lent Taft and through him to the
sultan.
