If this is true. why representative govern
ment at all? If the people take no conceiy-
able interest in the nomination of candidates
why is IL TO be supposed that they take any
great amount of interest in actual elections?
Why even the nominating convention? Why
the expensive farce of elections? A small
group Of men could conduct the government
without putting the average man to the in
convenience Of occasionally going to the polls
and casting vote, either primary or final
AS matter Of fact are in the natural
state of reaction following the general adop-
ton Of primary laws. The primary did not
accomplish all that was expected of It, Moth
ing ever does. 1t freely predicted by
iervid enthusiasts that the primary would do
away with political corruption and machine
rule. Corruption and machines both con
tinue to exist, and will continue with us for
some time to come. Indifferent voters are
also very numerous. and their indifference
amounts to unpatriotic apathy.
In spite of all these things, the primary
represents real progress. The corrupt
methods Of nominating conventions were a
scandal and n menace to the foundations of
our system. II was impossible that we
should remain Indifferent to them; some eff
fort at remedy was necessary. And. say
what you will. the modern American voter is
more intelligent than the voter Of n genera
ton ago. He may not always vote for the
less often votes for a known scoundrel simply
because he is the nominee of the party, as
the voter used to do in the good old days.

The trouble with tho primary law is
that YOU presume that the individual
will go to the polls and vote for ideas
and ideals. You presume he will be
aggressive for good things and good
men. That's all bunk. The average man
doesn't vote for anybody or anything:
he votes against. No man ever votes for
AN ideal candidate unless he votes for
himself Ours is government by de-
