Tho Primary Vote

In the platforms Of the Progressive
the Republican. and the Democratic
| parties of the state are planks declar
ing in favor of a primary cleo. ion law
| The legislature of 1912 struggled 10
enact such a law, but could not get 4
majority of each house to agree upon
| the kind of primary election legisla-
| ton desired, and the various bills Of
this nature were all turned down.
The only thing along this line was an
agreement during the closing hours
| to refer the entire question to the peo
pie for their consideration at the
March meetings in 1914. The Pro
| gressiyes and several Republicans In
the legislature were strong for a di-
rec. primary; number of Republi-
cans desired the preferential prlm-
airy; while the Democratic leaders
and several Republicans opposed ey-
cry primary bill that was introduced,
saying they were not the kind desir-
ed. but Offering nothing in the place
of them and suggesting no amend
ments-simply opposed all primary
election propositions. So at the town
meetings TO be held In a few days. me
voters are expected to signify what
style of an election law they prefer
whether It shall be the presen. eau
cus-convention system. the direct prl
mary or the preferential primary.
If you prefer the direct primary
mark your ballot in the square oppo-
site yes" after the last question. If
you prefer the preferential primary
mark your ballot In the square oppo-
site yes" after the first question. If
you prefer the present system. mark
your ballot in the square opposite
mo" after both questions.
The evils of the present caucus
convention system are pretty thorough
ly known. The nominees are chosen
not by the people. but by political
bosses and too often by the use OF
money; and while Vermont has not
suffered from the abuse to anywhere
near the extent that New York. Penn
sylvania and other states. still there
is 4 growing dissatisfaction over the
present system; so much so In fact.
that each OF the leading three parties
OF the state has declared in favor of
2 change.
The preferential primary is no
more than the delegates instructed.
Under the direct primary law the
voters themselves select tho nomi-
nees for the various officers. They
mark their ballots for the men they
wish TO see nominated. and the farm
er's ballot counts for just as much IS
does that OF a political boss. That is
the whole thing boiled down into
few words. After II has been deter
mined who has been nominated by
the various political parties. then the
regular election takes place as now.
So to the Sitter Il seems that the
direct primary election law is the sys
TEN needed In this state. and that IL
is the one containing the last evil OF

are 20 be asked to pass their opinion
upon az the March meeting.
