One Of the regrettable features OF
the county political campaign was the
gross Misrepresentation Of facts regard
ing the comparative expenses OF Super
intendent Granville and former county
superintendent, sent out from this
place too late to be met and refuted.
The circular, which was absolutely false
was sent out for the purpose of mis-
leading the voters, and evidently accom-
plshed its purpose. 1t was timed so thai
1t could not be met with the facts. 1t
is pretty well understood where the cir
cular originated, for Grangevile hasn't
more than half a dozen persons in it
who are known TO be of that class, and
they are the same ones who it is I'M
derstood played false with their home
community in the county division fight.

POLITICAL RESPONSIBILITY

The old convention system, marked
as 1t was by glazing defects and sus-
ceptible as IL was to grave abuse by
the INSCRIPTIONS politician, was yet
In one vital particular superior to the
present law.
Under the old system, one of the
great political parties was always dl-
rectly responsible for the personnel of
every ticket put into the field If a
candidate for office proved to be a bad
choice, the party at whose convention
he was nominated could be and often
was held to account.
AS matter of fact the sort of men
who received nominations at conven-
lions were likely to be pretty high
grade men. They were generally the
thinking, forceful, executive men of
their communities. They were the men
who were not fighting tooth and nail
TO get job for the sake OF the
salary. They were usually persons of
weight individuality, Importance. Sob
er sense, and vision. Some OF the
finest men who ever came into the pub
lie life of the state of Idaho were men
who were nominated by the convention
system. All of the parties tried hard
10 put up the very best material in or
der to win. and II became at once
matter of pride and necessity for par
ties to be represented by the kind of
men that could get a following among
the people and that the people would
look up to-
1t is just the reverse now. Nobody
Is responsible for the personnel of a
ticket except the people In general, and
you can not fix responsibility with any
degree of success on all the people.
Anybody in the world can get on a
primary ticket nowadays. and the tic
ket as finally evolved is not the work
OF any party. No organization, no
representatives of the people are re-
sponsible for it.
The present practice is most incon-
sistent. We have taken from the po-
htical parties all their power in NOM |
mating a ticket. and yet we force |
them to give their name to any scrub
candidate that happens to ask for that
protection and influence and when the
candidate turns out to be bad egg,
We ask the political party that never
selected him and that perhaps opposed
Inn from the start to take the blame
or all his faults and defects.
1t is unfair to hold any political par
y responsible for any person nominal
ed under the present direct primary
aw II there is somebody ON a ticket
hat you disapprove OF. put the blame
there it belongs, on the people. on
ounself and not on the party. The |
arty had nothing to do with any
anne. (
