The Party Conference Idea.

From Frederick and Washington coun-
ties come the latest developments of the
party conference idoa in both parties. The
avoidance Of heated primaries has become
subject Of intense interest among candi-
dates and party men all over the State.
In Baltimore city Albert S. J. Owens and
Howard Bryant have discussed the ad-
visibility, in Democratic State affairs Of a
convention Of party men from the city and
the counties meeting and considering the
makeup Of State ticket behind which all
elements can rally at the general election.
AS a rule, the Republicans are not bothered
with primary fights. for In most instances
tickets are named without them. and this
solid vote Of the party is assured on cleo
ton day.
The primary law is possession with
which no community in Maryland will
part. 1t is. as Woodrow Wilson says Of
the initiative and referendum, "a weapon
behind the door" Much is said Of the
. obligation resting on participants in a
primary to loyalty support the ticket. No
one will deny the moral phase Of this OBJ
LEGATION. 1t goes without saying that a
fair-minded and conscientious voter in a
primary conducted under all the penalties
and safeguards Of the election laws will
support the nominee whether that nomi-
nee was his personal choice in the primary
or not. Otherwise. the primary would be
simply a farce and waste of time and
money.
We are not one Of those who think pri-
maries ought to be avoided by extra-legal
conferences. II the common consent of
the voters Of a party can be had for a
ticket. II the personalities. the bitterness,
the prejudices. the recriminations that
might attend party fight can be kept in
the background. well and good. But neither
in law or morals is there any obstacle or
objection to any man appealing to voters
affiliated with him on the registration
books for nomination.
The rules Of decency, Of common sense,
Of courtesy and Of honest dealing should
govern in politics as in any other relation
Of life. and no self-respectins man, Of
proper motives and with a. wish to retain
the esteem and confidence Of his fellow
citizens. is expected to transeress these
rules in primary or general election
any more than he would transeress them
in individual or business intercourse. -
