THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

Now and then we hear some one
demanding primary election law In
New Mexico. The advocates Of 1t say
those who oppose do not believe the
people capable OF elf-goyernment.
The preference primary has been
tried out in many states, and in the
light of experience the heart OF the
question Is, Does 1t give the people
self-government?
No one questions the fact that the
American people are fitted to govern
themselves They have done SO TOO
long to have their ability seriously
questioned now. But experience has
proved that the direct primary, as now
arranged, does not produce effective
self-government
The representative principle is that
upon which the government was
founded The direct primary IL a
clumsy and inefficient device TO sup
plant the representative principle. 1t
only succeeds in permitting organized
minorities TO rule, In breaking down
party organizations. in abolishing the
leadership without which democra-
Giles would soon become anarchies, and
IN stimulating the self-seekcr and the
| demagogue to seek office.
Comparatively few voters so to the
polls IN primaries. The average of
both the democrats and the republi-
cans In the holly contested presiden-
tial fight of 1872 was less than six
teen per cent OF the voters of either
party, and less than ten per cent was
cast for the winning candidates.
The primary fails---has failed In ev-
cry state where IL has been tried~-be-
cause It does not furnish the machin-
cry whereby the people may attain the
best self-government for themselvcs.
Since the direct primary has been In
