ton One visitor from the Atlantic
coast confessed that she returned this
year for the sole purpose OF hearing
again the soft, haunting melodies OF
the Hawaiians.
"Of course it's all very beautiful"
she said, land the Spanish singers
and dancers are bright to see and
pleasant to hear, but the Hawaiians,
with their tiny guitars and their big,
soft voices made not only music but
romance for me last year. ! feel
cheated because they're not here"
There is too little of the Hawaiian
exhibit-only a few photographs. But

republican candidate on its face might
have indicated that the Pennsylvania
bosses controlled the primary had not
the election of few weeks later up-
set that theory. In the actual election
Senator Penrose was chosen by a lead
OF $4,000 votes, thus showing that he
was the choice of the voters of Penn
sylvania and that the primary had
worked out the voters will which is
precisely what its supporters claim as
the reason for adopting the primary.
The great argument put forward by
the enemies of the primary in Yer
mont, however, is that it gives the
larger towns an advantage over the
smaller communities. This claim is alb
solutely untrue. After the failure of
the primary bill in the legislature of
1910 l wrote to public men in a
dozen or more primary states, select
ing states where it seemed to me the
primary laws were the best, and asked
these men whether the primary gave
an advantage to the cities and
larger towns. In every instance the
reply was in the negative and these
men were speaking from actual ex-
perience. On the other hand several
ofe.the replies stated that the prima-
ry gives increased benefit to the small
towns and country districts because it
takes the choice of candidates away
from conventions held in cities and
large towns. where the influence of
machine politicians and selfish inter
ests is greater than in the country
sections.
It ought to be plain to any voter
that when a state convention is held
in Burlington or Montpelier the eff
feetive working politicians of the
state, largely not delegates, gather in

tlclans and political workers flock to
the place where the convention is
held. Most of these elements come
from the cities and large towns and
are more experienced in wire-pulling
than the average voter or average
delegate. With the choice of nominees
TO be made they exert to the fullest
extent their influence in making up
the ticket. The rank and file of the
voters of the smaller towns do not
and cannot attend the convention to
see that their delegates carry out their
wishes. The result plainly is that the
larger towns often get an unreasona-
bic preponderance of the places on the
ticket and have more saw than they
ought in its selection. Look at your
own county ticket of the past few
years and see if this statement is not
proved by the facts The best and
only way to overcome this situation
is to adopt the primary and give all
the voters the opportunity to 90 to
their regular voting places and select
their own candidates as proposed b.
