A Start In tn. Right Objection

n selection Of delegates to the national dem ocratic convention the democratic committee took long step Saturday toward the nomination of candidates for president and vice president by popular vote-something for which there has been more or less vociferous demand during the half dozen years
 Those who have clamored obstacles in the way, perhaps tutional amendment; any way, the necessity tional primary system. But the state committee showed that this rectfication and alteration machinery is not necessary. It demonstrated that it can be accomplished by simple twist the It is surprisingly simple have been shown.
 We had hitherto been blinded the there is difference between the number delegates anowd each state and the number of allowed. We have been shown that number of delegates does not matter in the least only that counts; that is all that the national committee.
 Thus allowed in Arizona votes. It doesn't really make any difference many persons are chosen to cast these votes just they. Twelve delegates wephave been demonstrated may cast them by casting a half vote each; so also may twenty four delegates with one-fourth each, forty-eisht delegates with neeighth vote each.
 Now way the end clearly. We do not know how many democrats there in Arizona but for the purpose demonstrating this thing to its logical conclusion will suppose there are 60O00 democrats entitled votes at San Francisco. All of them might be appointed delegates each with o0o01-that is, for of those who familiar decimal sys- tenn, each with a one-ten thousandth vote
 We would let them all go national con- ventor and see for themselves is going on There would of course, be some annoyances if this plan were fully worked out and adopted There be some trouble in recording these votes but that could be overcome by employing additional clerical help. Also if this plan adopted by all the states with the result 5000 900 demo- crats should be sent delegates, at present no auditorium of sufficient capacity house them But that, too could be overcome by American con structive genius Anyhow any would be worth going to if it would take away from the representative form of government which so often does not truly represent. And then, would not need and would not have a1ternates who are only chosen as second fiddlers. We should no second fiddies The orchestra would made up entirely of first vions and all of be leaders of the band As things are in the country there is not enough real democracy to glad the democratic state committee made q start in the right direction.

BY RUTH E. FINLEY

WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. 21.- The tall Texan swung from his arm pits on his crutches as his big hands grasped the iron railing that keeps the too enthusiastic visitor to Mt. Vernon from carrying off a wheel of George Washington's coach as a souvenir.

The registration for the city primary with only one day is said to be very unsatisfactory. Though thousands of new voters must nave been added to since the last mayoralty campaign registration, told is less than it was TOT the primary years ago.
 [ said that practically every voter whom one or another the various cliques of politicians can control is already registered. It is the socaled n dependent unselfsh, untrammeled voter who IS mls- sing from the register.
 What a travesty on terms, What misuse of them independent "untrammeled," "unselfish!" They describe everything that the unregistered careless voter is not.
 He is not independent He is much of nollusk in his sphere oyster is in it's He is not unsefish. is his selfishness. his unwingness subject himself to little trouble and inconvenience keeps him away from the registration places. And untrammeled?
 He is bound hand foot to the cliques. He is committed to at least half to clique or an other The clique is surer his half vote than it is of the whole its henchman. The latter may change mind. The unregistered voter cannot He is unalterably to give his half vote to the clique.
 And after all, should clique rule if it can? That is human nature. There nothing wrong in the control of the weak apathetic and the careless by the energetic the strong and the vigiant
 Man has been given dominion over the beasts because he is smarter and more energetic. He exer- cises it alike dumb and praying asses and in doing so, is within his natural right, though sometimes the and the asses may not think so, the one suffering silence the other usclcssy voc- ing his protest.
 So we ca not the clques if they get control of the city by the perfectly legal legitimate and moral process of mastering majority plurality at the polls.
 But we would greatly blame the so-called indc- pendent unselfsh and untrammeed" but inert and citizen who lets the cliques muster the ma jority the plurality.

 You will still have voice even if do not register and no doubt within the next two wherever you find patient enough to listen You loudly angriy, but it will be used effectively than the voice of another burro which like yourself had not registered

clearly granted by our Constitution;

and spirit of our institutions, to be in
forced inpartially against all offenders
rich and poor alike.
We demand the fair and equal en-
forcement of the law without respect
to social circumstances. section, race.
or color, and hold that it would be in
tolerable to have Federal spies, agents
and officers bounding men for mere
words spoken, or for violating statutes
to carry out the eighteenth amend
ment in some States, while acts of
violence, lynching. murder. resistance
of officers of the law and violations of
the fifteenth amendment are per-
mltted with impunity in other States
We demand constructive policy with
reference to the race question, believ-
ing it to be both immoral and in
eXpedient to continue a system which
is designed to keep the colored people
of certain portions of our country in
condition of ignorence, poverty, and
degradation, we hold that to extend
to these people, to whom we are I'M
der heavy obligations and for whom
we have assumed the responsibility,
larger opportunities Tor industrial, Vo-
cational, and general education, would
be most advantageous.
eve demand an end to the taxing of
the people for the payment of swarms
of Federal spies, agents, and special
officers, who may become parasites,
blackmailers, sappers of political
morality, and menace to liberty.
Believing that the high cost of
government is a most important fac
tor in causing the high cost of liv-
ing, we demand economy and efficiency
in all governmental departments as
step in the direction of rehabilita-
ton of our national finances. But we
hold that economy and efficiency can
not be secured without thorough,
drastic reorganization of the execu-
tive departments, with such a re-
trenchment in expenditures as is not
now contemplated"

REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES.

Bespeaking the attitude of Republi-
cans in Congress, Senator Joseph l.
France, of Maryland, sums up some
of the principles his party will con-
tend for in the coming election, as
follows:
1--WE demand that there shall be a
clear and definite reacceptance and
reafiirmation of faith in the princi-
pies of the Republic, as established
by the fathers, with its three sepa-
rate independent and coordinate
branches, legislative, executive and
judicial, the form of government
which preserves liberty by division
of authority, preventing that consol-
idation of powers in one Office which
constitutes true despotism.
1--WE condemn, as tending to subvert
our government, the vicious practice
by which legislation has been drafted
in the executive departments and then
forced by means of threats, intimi-
dalton, or other methods of coercion
by the executive upon the legislative
branch of the government which
should represent the people. We hold
that in free government legislation
must originate with and arise from
the people rather than with a power
full and perhaps autocratic executive,
to be imposed, through the power of
patronage or by force, upon the peo-
pie.
eve contemplate, with a deep CON
Germ for the salty of our country and
and high determination and resolve
to resist it to the uttermost, the re-
cent enormous growth of executive
power, tending toward tyranny. We
pledge ourselves to oppose the cleo
tion to high office of any man, of
whatever party, who would advocate
measures the tendency of which would
be to enchance or buttress executive
authority.
1--WE demand the careful study and
revision or repeal of all statutes which
have lodged with executive officials
large discretionary powers, and fur
Their demand the immediate termin-
alton of personal and arbitrary gov
eminent, government by commissions
issuing edicts and promulgating reg
ulations, as distinguished from gov
eminent by clear and definite statutes
enacted by Congress under powers
