STATE MACHINE
WORKS TO KILL
PRIMARY, SAYS
II. O. RICHARDS sCLOSEs
MORE TRICkERY OF OLD
GANG POLITICIANS
STATE HEADS BLAMED
Insists There Should be "a Fair and
Complete Test Of the Pri-
mary Law

This is to inform you that the Of
fetal state machine has taken steps
to kill the primary election law
again. after it has been sustained
by direct vote of the people three
times. and despite the fact that the
law has only been half tried out.
The fact is that the discussion in
form of debates required under the
law between the nominees for gov
ernor on the democratic and repub-
lican tickets on the paramount is
sues between the two party plat
forms. to help create an Intelligent
public opinion, will not take plact
until September and October. There
should be a fair and complete test
of the law. The Norbeck-NcMaster
administration is to blame. 1t is an
evidence of ill will. Individuals dis
closing i'll will should have no Off
cial part in the government. Gov
ernor Norbeck and McMaster both
attacked the primary law during
the primary election campaign Up
on converting of the legislature In
special session their friends rushed
through a bill for an act to repeal
the peoples primary law by submit
ting the machine primary law to
vote at the coming November cleo
tion. Although the machine pri-
mary law contains fifty-two Sec
tions. it was rushed through the
senate i'm few hours. 1t stands to
reason that it could not have been
carefully considered 1t is bad Its
purpose is to create confusion and
minority rule and take the very life
of the peoples primary law by stop
ping required proposals and discus
sion of the paramount issue, so that
the people can not hear both sides.
1t kills the spirit of the primary
law. 1t even stops principles from
being printed on the primary ballot.
1t stops line up of candidates un-
der principle ballot 1t stops rep
resentative convention proposals of
principles and candidates for the
important offices OF U. S, Senator
congressman and governor. 1t stop
required proposals, by petition OF
representation, OF we'll defined pub
lie policies now required of candl-
dates filling for president and gov
ernor. This gives the machine q
chance to dodge the issue for the
truth. 1t is betrayal of the very
purpose of the primary law.
The machine primary law makes
candidates, instead OF principles, the
issue. 1t reinstates the unseeming
personal contest for nominations b.
proposing candidates for the impor
tant offices of U. S. senator, con-
gressmen and governor by petition
only. 1t reinstates the old conven-
tion system to nominate the othei

of the evening, and talked for al
most three hours on the present

ettention to the speech. and gave
evidence of an untiring enthusiasm
in the economic reformation OF the
state and nation.

quoted government statistics show
ing the tremendous losing that the
present system inflicts upon the
farmer. He produced evidence tc
show that the farmer was vlcttmiz-
ed to the extent of the ratio OF about
3to L compared to the reward
reaped by the manipulator. AS a
remedy he proposed the progra%
Of the Nonpartisan League. and laid
particular stress upon the import
ance OF the ballot in bringing about
the much needed reform.
After Mr. Sudan had finished hi:
talk, questions were called for. A
lively interest was manifest in this
