PARTY REFERENDUMS.
Ex-senator Green's Substitute for the
Direct Primary.

To III EDITOR OF THE SCN--Sir: Anent
your editorial Overheard With Direct
Nominations" The adoption Of some
system OF direct primary nominations
was a perfectly natural result OF that
other system which made possible many
a 'dirtest days work" There was a
genuine public disapproval Of the old
conventions with their frequent and ia
grant abuses of representative power.
These abuses were almost Invariably
condemned at the polls. but the difficulty
was that there was 10 opportunity for
the party members to apply a corrective.
4 real protest by the rank and file
against the choices or the convention
was impossible except by boiling the
party candidates.
\ convention system with A referen-
dun OF the convention choices to the
enrolled electorate OF the party provides
the necessary check upon abuse OF
power by party leaders who ignore a
real party opinion. Such a system en-
genders a spirit Of party regularity. A
member of a party. having had an OPP
p~ortun!ty at a primary to register his
protest. may without justinable resent
meHt vote hts party ticket. the majority
having made the choice.
And such a system was embodied In
the Human Green bill, i~ntroduced In the
Legislature by Senator Human and
myself and advocated by Governor
Hughes.
None OF Us IN the Legislature at that
time ever advocated the present system,
and think We all would he clad .o soo
it abolished.
II Is not necessary for one 20 be for
either the convention system or for d.
rest nominations. The proper legislation
will retain the spirit OF the direct pr.
mary and the admirable features OF
choices by representative groups.
