Faults of the Primary.

Ohio is the latest State to ques-
ton the value of the primary. /
The annual meeting of the State
Bar Association the other day
President Brown of Youngstown
declared that under the system IN
Ohio "the office-seeker who can
cover the most ground, shake
the most hands and kiss the
most babies has by far the best
chance of election. while candi-
dates for judicial office must So
licit votes like a beggar asking
aims"
What Mr.. Brown says OF the
effect of the primary is not pecu-
liar to the Buckeye State.
Wherever the primary is in oper-
alton the same results observed,
which is another way of saying
that in a primary men are not
necessarily elected to office on
the basis of the superiority OF
their qualifications.
The primary was expected TO
sound the death-knell OF ma
chimes, purify politics and raise
the standard of officials. But it
has done none of these nor is
lit ever destined to.
Many remedies are suggested,
but none has any particular mer-
lit. at least as promising to bring
that idealism in politics which
the primary was intended te
create. The Ohio Bar presi'
