Pendulum Swings Back
"ole o. saeeng.

The political pendulum has begun its backward swing
1t staid at extreme for time, then began to
swing to the other and was long in reaching it. Now it
looks as though it would oscilate for while and then
take position midway between the two extremes
What are the extremes? Simply these Under the
old convention system crying abuses originated
and the 'Boss System came into being. Under this
system few got together in a back chamber and
selected the they wanted in Office packed the
and the convention in these men, and then elected
them. That's the old extreme.
Finally the people become awakened to the necessity
of doing something rid themselves and the of this
odious system. The primary law enacted and put
into operation Under anything could for Office and
the bosses ami minority candidate could be elected
Then came the abolition of the partisan candidate and in
June the will try to how this plan will work
Party lines have been broken down and the DEVILS pay
generally. That's the other extreme But the reaction
has in The that the primary election law
it stands the statute books falls considerably short
of bringing relief from the abuses sought to be abolished
The people casting about for remedy 1t safe
to say that primary law will stay The people will
not stand for its abolition. But it be amended
The two great political parties of Minnesota recently
held socalled Elimination Conferences to enable them
to get what they desired in the way of nominations May
not this plan form bring the needed relief? Why
not combine the primary and the conventions Say hold
regular primary elections for the choice of delegates to
conventions and let those conventions nominate the cand
dates? This would probably do away with multiplicity
of candidates and the election of minority candidate
The pendulum has begun its backward swing and it
seems reasonable to hazard the prediction that neither
extreme will it take position in the Worthng
ton Globe.
