HONOR IN DEFEAT

Full credit has been given to the Win
ner in the presidential race for his
marvellous achievement. What kind of
run did the loser make? Is there no
onor-conferring quality in his perfor-
nance?
Mr.. Justice Hughes was drafted
against his inclinatian by the unani-
nous vote of the republican convention
in order to reunlte the republican party.
His patriotic and self-sacrifcing can
didacy effected this reunion, broadly
speaking, east of the Mississippi This
reunion was not effected in California.
The republican candidate for senator in
that state, upon whom both factions
united, won by 300, 600. Mr.. Hughes,
to whom reunion was denied, lost bv
5000 votes. If IN this state alone this
reunion has been even approximately
effected, Mr.. Hughes would have won
the presidency.
AS a candidate Mr. Hughes showed
himself a strong man, a just man, a
brave man, man of brains, of vim, of
integrity, of manly independence.
How did the people respond to the
appeal of his candidacy? He received
approximately 100000 votes. He poll
ed approximately $4,000 more votes
more than were given to Roosevelt and
Taft combined in 1912. Everybody
knows and nobody denies that in the
south there are hundreds of thousands
of constitutional voters. represented bv
votes in the electoral college, who are
not permitted to vote because, if they
could, they would vote for the party of
which Mr.. Hughes was the candidate
If these constitutional voters might
solely for statistical purposes, be view
ed as existing, and their votes be
counted as largely for Mr.. Hughes he
would overcome Mr.. Wilson's 400. OO0
plurality and himself have a distinct
plurality of the popular vote.
Is the electoral votes representing
these disfranchised but constitutional
voters were nullifed like the voters
themselves. and not transferred to Mr..
Hughes, but merely withdrawn from
Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Hughes would win in
the electoral college.
Or to view the situation from another
angle. 1t is conceded that in the south
ern as distine uished from the border
states there is no pretense of a genuine
struggle in national elections over DO
ETHICAL economic issues. Irrespective of
their individual beliefs concerning such
issues as protection, sound money, pre-.
paredness and virIle Americanism. both
whites and blacks are restrained from
voting for the candidates and doctrines
of the republican party, even though
that party may be disguised under an
other name, and even though as the
party of protection it comes clearing
gifts" In those sections and states,
therefore, where genuine national cleo
tons are held, where men after full
discussion vote as they think, and where
the ballots are not perfunctor1ly cast
and are not meaningless or misleading,
Mr.. Hughes was on the aggregate vote
overwhelmingly elected.
The defeated candidate in this cleo
ton won practically the solid north and
east, including the ever. doubtful states

WE ARE justified in assuming from
orders of the War Department return
ing to their homes the national guards
men who have been in service in Texas
that the conditions which led to the
concentration of troops on the frontier
no longer exists. The crisis, whatever
it was, must be over, or the soldiers
would not be sent back to seek for en-
ployment, re establish their homes and
reinstate themselves in civil life I'm
der these gratifying circumstances it
cannot be lmpertinent, impudent or
dlsloyal to ask why the National Guard
was sent to the Mexican border. Now
that the emergency is past, and the
need for silence is admittedly non-exis-
tent, the administration may expect to
be asked why it called out the troops;
and its answer will be awaited with
interest.

WHO HAS A BETTER WAY /?

Most of the time it is not very
hard to find plenty of voters who
say they do not like the ''spoils"
system in American politics, and
they will agree with you, that it
ought to be eliminated. But, as
it appears to The Press, it has re
,naihed for Hon. r. .. Richards
to propose a method for doing the
eliminating. Ii anyone has bet
ter plan The Press has not heard
of it.

ANOTHER new PRIMARY

Mr.. Richards sends us a copy of
his amended law, which he will
submit to the voters again at the
coming general election, and in
circular letter accompanying it
insists on the need of it in the fol-
lowing language, which we think
is logical and to the point:
ssPrepare for PEACE, instead
of War
sOur election laws constitute our
public organization laws. Our i'm
perfect election laws do not harvest
upon public sentiment, in practi-
cal way, to promote ''On earth
peace, good will to men" as the
public mind develops.
1.-The reason for this is the use of
the official spoils system in organi
zation, and that there is no eyolv-
ing or separating process on issues
or leadership, no public joint de-
bates on issues, no clean cut line
up on the party ballot in the initia-
tory proposals under our present
primary election system. 1t is
therefore impossible for the cleo
tor to intelligently cast his ballot
to separate the wheat from the
chaf on men and measures. Hence
election results miscarry every
time, and the people do not get
what they expect. The govern
ment remains half right and half
wrong all the time, even with the
best-intentioned men as execu-
tives. We cannot have a new gar
ment and retain the old patch.
Better organization methods are
therefore Of the utmost import
ance. The present anarchy in the
international police power in
Europe is sad evidence of the
lack of organization for public
welfare.
Society has always tried to
buiid from the top down in polit-
icaI organization instead of from
the bottom up.
The political party is the
organization unit of our ma
tional and state government.
The government is therefore
a government by organiza.
tion thru political parties and
by maiorities. 1t is manifest
therefore, that the solution Of
state government lies thru OR
