lions are SO evident, that it may well
be doubted whether there was any de-
fender Of the eastern shipping interest
to make for them a case such as he
would make for the western interests.
The matter illustrates the precise field
of Mr.. Thorne's greatest usefulness.
II we were trying to get an unbiased
and fair conclusion as to any contro-
verified matter affecting the rights and
interests Of railroads we do not think
we would take his judgment at all;
but for an attorney to represent the
shipping side and make the railroad
representatives prove their case. we
think we would take him in preference
to anyone else we know OF. We do not
know whether in the present case the
decision is really based upon merit or
upon fear on the part of the interstate
commerce commissioners that the po-
litical ak would fall upon them If they
should decide differently; but we are
satisfied that the argument against the
railroads has been capably and thor
oughly presented.

THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY.
ISioux City Journal

ISioux City Journal
Are we in favor Of the presidential
primary in theory and against 1t IN
practice? ~. ~.
Three Years ago everybody but the
old mossbacks was for presidential
primaries. It was held to be essen
tial to clean politics to take the nomi-
nations out Of the hands OF the bosses
and place them in the hands OF the
voters. Pending an amendment to the
constitution that would authorize
huge national primary in which a
presidential candidate could be nomi-
mated directly by the voters. it was in
sisted that every state must have a
preferential primary. In preferen-
tfal primary the voters could be al
lowed to choose between all the candt-
dates ana the delegates, also selected
Nv the voters, must support the candi-
date for whom their preference might
he expressed. Yes, sir! Let all the
candidates for party nomination file
their declaration Of candidacy in every
state primary, and let the voters OF
every state pick out the candidate TO
| whom the support OF that state must
he thrown in the convention. That
was the essence OF the presidential
primary idea as worked out in a good
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1915-08-16

many states during the last three or
four years
Now, however, it Is proposed that
all the wouldbe candidates shall not
be allowed to go before the people for
an expression Of their preference. II
there are two candidates in the whole
west it is insisted that one OF them
must go away back and be seated
without giving the people a chance to
say whether they want to support him
or not. The whole west, according to
this figuring. must rally around the
candidacy OF a single man. This is
urged on the ground that otherwise the
west may divide its support and there
by succumb to the keener political
maneuvering of the east. There is old
fashioned politics in the suggestion,
and it is only by old fashioned poltti-
cal methods that 1t can be carried out.
If two strong men aspire to Office
and only lone is to be allowed to try
for 1t, who Is to decide which It shall
be? Oh. let the prominent supporters
OF the aspirants get together and hold
little conference that will elim-
nate the one that may be decided on
as least available. Intensely practi-
cal, to be sure, but what does that
course do to the primary principle, to
which the dear public is understood to
be devoted, If the voters are to be
s!::-e:: G chance 70 -o.o :c- only one
candidate. who really selects the NOM
inee? The voters? Not at all. AS be-
tween the two candidates in whom the
voters are understood to be especially
interested, they get a chance to vote
only for the one previously selected
by the bosses to receive the voters
support. Is that direct nomination!
In fact, it is less direct than II the
people sent their representatives to
state convention and let them name
the candidate to whom the support OF
the state would be given. The people
have not delegated to the bosses the
right to select the nominee.
The idea of going to the trouble and
expense Of holding a presidential pri-
mary to rattfy the bosses selection for
a presidential candidate is absurd.
Presidential primaries will be held in
many western states next spring. II
the support of these states is sure to
go to a western candidate, and II the
name OF only one western candidate
is to be submitted, what are the tax
payers getting in return for their
money they have invested in the elab-
crate primary?
Are we for the primary principle
and against the application Of It, or
what!
