Here in Pennsylvania the same con-
ditions have been created by the pri-
mary reform" Within a few days
those "reformers" who insisted most
strenuously on the adoption of the
new system have been guilty of strik-
ing down its fundamental principle
the selection of candidates by the peo-
pie without the interference of politi-
cal bosses. william Draper Lewis, the
most conspicuous offender in this re-
spect. was nominated in an open pri-
mary by the voters of the Washington
party for the highest office in the
State. lie has seen fit for his own
ends to throw aside the principles of
his party and now proposes to do his
utmost to lead those voters who sup
ported him into the camp of the free
trade Democratic candidate whose
sponsor, the President, is being assail-
ed most vigorously by the head and
front of the Progressive movement in
the United States-Colonel Roosevelt.
II is no wonder that the honest vot-
ers begin to doubt the so-called re
former" who is constantly insisting
upon a change in this and a change
in that simply to promote his own sell
fish ends.

was not needed to convince the
people of New Jersey that the prl-
mary system has not improved con-
ditions. They realized that after
one or two years trial with the
new law, which was intended to
give TO the people the right and
power to choose their candidates

young men to enter political life
The way has been opened all right.
and the voters have the opportu-
nifty to pick their candidates, but
under such conditions that there
has been a very noticeable falling
off in the standard of public Of
ticers.
one effect has been the almost
complete disorganization of parties
and the creation of such bad feel
ing in the strife for nominations
that legitimate campaign work is
made ineffective. For Congress, for
instance, most of the aspirants were
of such average and ordinary abtl-
ity, standing and influence that few
of them would have been considered
even for legislative nominations
under the old system, when men of
prominence would confer and in
duce men to consent to the use OF
their names.
Now the candidates pick them
selves Men with any sense of
modesty refuse to he put In the
position of seeking a place, and OF
making two fights to get 1t. one for
the nomination and the other for
election.

ANOTHER WALL

y TOT once. but many times, the
M Telegraph has pointed out the
l y fallacies of the so-called reform
involved in the adoption of the
open primary system now in force in
Pennsylvania. 1t has been delusion
and a snare from the beginning and
in its operation has shown the mani
fold defects which were apparent
when the proposition was first sub
mitted to the Legislature.
Now comes the vigorous protest of
the people of New Jersey against the
working out of a similar law in that
State. A dispatch from Trenton states
that the

When the present campaign ends
there will be a sigh or relief go up
around this part of the State because
this city has been more or less the
center OF the whole political disturb
ance and there really has been poll
tics forced on the attention of people
Tor eight or nine months. The guber-
material campaign appears to have
started up about the time the votes
were counted last November II is the
longest campaign ever known because
the primary section was about as
strenuous as the present wind up. And
the end is five weeks off.
