WHY DISCARD IT!

Discard the direct primary is popular cry
now among Republicans in active politics
There is no need Ia discard the law because il has
not proved IN unqualified and shining success at its
very first trials.
The law was passed TO correct grave evils-eyils
which apparently many of our leading Republicans
who are also substantial men Gid not realize. Boss
controlled conventions getting rather too com
mon and whether the boss was Shrewd politician
or a big businessman didn't make much difference
TO the little fellow who resented having 10 vote
for candidates he had not helped to pick.
The law did away with some evils and brought
others. The double campaign is admittedly
burdensome both 10 the poor man-On account of
the expense; and the weltodO man-On account of
the time he must take from his business
This can be corrected and il was largely corrected
last fall The primary campaign need be neither long
enough nor expensive enough to be a burden Those
who cannot give the time 10 going through a short
campaign are not likely TO have the necessary time
for running their public office properly later on.
Another evil complained of is that under the pres
ent system there is no clean-cut alignment of par
ties; that in the primary one party may throw its
weight to the weakest candidates of the other party
and thus weaken the other parys ticket for the gen
era election There is something in this and states
have found the same difficulty. They have also
solved it by requiring voters at the primary to call
for party ballot and conducting the primary by
separate party tickets.
What the territory is going through is what
many states have gone throu9h--a period of expert
menting with a law. To discard the law before
it has been given chance is a confession of weak
ness in applying method which states have applied
successfully - Ill.,.
The average man--that is, he who constitutes the
great bulk of the vOters-is not making any percep
tible kick But he will make a kick if there is
proposal to revert to the old convention system.
Candidates for any local Office have to work hard
er 10 land it than under the cid system, but why
shonldn5t they? No man is above getting out and
mixing with the voters, getting in touch with their
opinions, their wishes their needs. The convention
system. which passed out nominations for which
laen bad done no actual work with the voters, had
its merits oftentimes in securing good for Of
lce. but as permanent system it did not make for
general Progress in the electorate. And it was too
much OF happy hunting ground for the bosses.

Uncle Sans forbearance during this international

fist. The detention of Ambassador Gerard and the
American consGls in Germany is an insult and Ger

which deserves the shorter and uglier name and in

Germany is making an international spectacle Of

ZiegeFs participation in meeting which advocated
action contrary to that marked by the government
