Neither is a primary election sys-
tenn adequate which merely gives a
direct vote on persons regardless Of
principles. and which completely sub
stitutes the right of private petition
for the right Of representation In pro-
posal Of candidates. Both ideas are
needed in proposals of principles and
candidates under any adequate party
primary election system. The inde-
pendent idea should merely be a
check on the representative idea, in
proposals of principles as well as on
candidates. The representative or
delegate idea must be dual, that is,
competitive in interest of organization
for principle, because an independent
candidate cannot successfully contend
against official organization, even
with the truth. Further, an inde-
pendent candidacy for state Office is
too expensive. Besides, division is
necessary, the people being entitled
to hear both sides before they vote.
How are they to hear both sides uI-
less a minority and majority r pro-
vided? The principle and candidate
must go together in a lineup for and
against an issue on the primary bal
lot to nominate the representation in
the three branches Of the govern
ment, the legislative, the executive,
and the judicial, to carry into effect
any public policy approved by popular
majority. We should therefore first
vote directly on minority and major
ity party proposalmen in order to
establish a clean cut representative
division for choice Of party princi-

ballot ON both initiatory representa-
tiyes and nomination of principles and
candidates within the party can alone
properly be called the primary cleo
ton system. A primary election TO
determine nominations and the para
mount issue within the party elector-
ate is just as necessary as the fall
election to determine the paramount
issue and public officers within rhe
general electorate.
1t is not enough to vote direct on
delegates as provided in the placated
honest caucus law" Because it
failed to give the people a direct vote
on nominations of public policies for
issues as well as on party candidates.
The caucus and delegate system re
suits in the mono convention system,
as an initiatory nominating pocess,
which shuts off the popular vote of
the party members on the nomina-
tions Of principles ss well Is candi-
dates. 1t should, therefore, be clear
to any thinking person that a pri-
mary election law is not adequate at
all by merely giving the party mem
bers a direct vote in the precinct eau
Gus to choose delegates to the coun-
ty convention, which again chooses
the delegates to the state convention,
which again chooses the delegates
to the national convention. Repesen-
tation is thus pyramided and delegat-
ed SO many times and so far away
from the people that their voice is
lost entirely in the government of the
party through which the people are
supposed to act in directing their

pies as a resistance against sophis-
try, as wen as to promote a repre-
sentative wedding process, within the
party, in proposals Of candidates to
insure honorable and competent men
as public officers, because the state,
as a political division, is so large that
the average voter, as a rule. has no
personal acquaintance with, or knowl-
edge of, the fitness of the candidates
for state offices. A final direct vote
IN nominations upon minority and
majority representative proposals
should also be provided as the most
practical method to establish popular
majority rule within the party This
is the fulfllment OF the primary cleo
ton law idea al the best legal form
of party organization procedure to for
ward equity in the legal order. To
carry out this idea, the Richards pri-
mary election law retains dual rep
resentation and a direct vote first on
the proposalmen; then on the nomina-
tions. The legal, peaceable power of
the people depends upon al intelli-
gent form of election laws.
The election laws underlie republi-
can form Of government. The only
time the people have anything to say
about their government, directly, is
on election day. The people certain
ly will not give up the election laws
which are their only legal power left.
1T is safe to assume the people will
never again delegate away their In
herent right to vote directly an nomi-
nations of public policies and public
officers. The people ought to know
by this time that their power to con
troll the government lies in the cleo
ton laws. To advocate doing away
with the primary election on account
of the expense is just as absurd as it
would be to advocate doing away
with the courts because OF the ex-
pense. It is not a question of ex-
pense, but the beneficial results to be
obtained fer the people by the ballot
instead of tho bullet. The primary

But we might say that a Lex

for the visitors. Harvey Navel,

the second inning after their
catcher had been disabled, and
the fielder came in to do the re-
ceiving. They had only nine
men with them. Navel got two
of Kansas City's four hits, one
of them a double over the left
field fence with two men on the
bases. The other blow was a
