McADOO C|VESREASONS HE'S
AGAINST INSTRUCTED
DELEGATES
Omitted Press Service)

1
NEW YORK, April William G.
McAdoo today outlined at the request
of the United Press the reasons for
his opposition to sending instructed
delegates to the Democratic National
Convention.
His attitude in this regard had pro-
voked widespread comment, his crit
les holding that his supposed opposi-
tion to the Presidential primaries be-
lie the claims of liberalism his friends
made for him. He was asked to
prepare a statement explaining his
attitude in this regard. 1t follows:
By WILLIAM G. McADOO
written at request of United Press)
l do not object to primary elections
for the selection of delegates to ma
tional conventions, but / think it is
a mistake to send instructed delegates.
Some of my REASONS are:
l. Only II states, ! believe, auth
orize primaries. This leaves 81 states
which choose their delegates by the
old convention method. The object
of the primary is to give the people
a chance to select their candidate for
the presidency and to prevent polite
al machines from controlling the dele
gates and thereby controlling the
convention. But SO long as 81 states
may choose and instruct delegates
through conventions and only II
choose and instruct through primaries,
the system fails at the very outset
to- accomplish the purpose for which
it was designed.
2. The primaries are held at vary
ing dates and under varying regula-
tions in the different states, some of
which do not properly safeguard the
election. Some primaries are held
as much as four months in advance
of the convention. AS consequence
instructions are given without know
ledge of conditions as they may exist
at the date of the convention and yet
the delegates are bound to a course
of action which may be directly op-
posed to their best judgement and
to the best interests of the country
at the time of the convention meets.
8. A two-thirds vote is required to
nominate in a Democratic convention.
So long as the delegates are instruct
ed, some by state primaries and others
by state conventions, the National
convention may find itself deadlocked
by instructions the moment it assem-
bles.
A. Political intrigue and political
manipulation In a National conven-
ton are reduced to a minimum when
the convention is composed of high
minded, clean-minded men and women
who go there, not the blind champions
of individual ambitions but as repre-
sentatives of their party.
5. Experience shows that only
small percentage of the people take
part in state primaries for the Presi-
Dental candidates and that delegates
are sometimes instructed by a pitiable
majority of the voters of the state.
The very purpose of the primary is
defeated when the voters do not vote.
Consequently, small majority as
sumes to express the will of the en-
tire state, whereas, if full vote was
had wholly different verdict might
be rendered. The disappointing re-
suits Of primaries thus far are due
to Indifference of the voters. In
some instances it has been easier for
the machines to control the primaries
than to control the conventions.
6. The primary system of choosing

Parent Teachers Association
Planning for Improved Con-
ditiOn. Meeting Monday

Conditions are terribly crowded
at the Dresden school. Even at
chapel exercises there is not suffi-
cient room for the children, and it
is necessary to hear some classes
in the forenoon and others in the
afternoon to meet the existing con-
ditions.
1t is a condition that we as citi-
zens of Dresden cannot afford to
tolerate. And it is for the purpose
of remedying this condition that
the Parent-Teachers Association
came into existence.
The association held a very i'm
portant meeting a few days ago,
when two committees were chosen
one, consisting of the teachers,
to look after the needs of the school,
reporting to the association; and
the other, composed of Mesdames
King Webb, j. H. Moran, R. l..
Suddath and Shobe Smith Smith,
who will arrange a program for the
meeting to be held at the school
building today-Friday, Nov. IL.
At roll call each member will re-
spond with an answer to "The
Needs of the Children" This is to
be a very Important meeting and
every member, as we'll as every pat
ron interested in the school, is
urged to be present and help solve
this very embarrassing situation.
