of portfolios open for Will Hays, Doc

just claim on the administration for

THE DIRECT PRIMARY

ToMMENTING on the state
ment of New York's governor
elect that he intended to "scrap'
the direct primary law, the New Yorl
Herald says:
Judge Miller's statement of inten
tions with regard to the primary cleo,
ton law is prompt and to the point
He will urge the abolition of the
Statewide direct primary and recon-.
mend a return to the old and thor
oughly American system of nominal
ing State and judicial officers.
"The republicans in the last legis-
lature attempted to effect this change.
They were blocked by Governor
Smiths veto, one Of the great mis-.
takes Of his career.
Here Judge Miller's position is in
full agreement with the platform of
the unofficial republican state con-
vention last July. The republicans
at Saratoga declared for the restor-
alton Of the state convention as re-
sponsible agency for selecting party
candidates, for strengthening party
leadership and for insuring the per-
formance of party pledges. Judge
Miller's position is likewise in agree
ment with that which this newspaper
has held ever since the statewide pri-
mary was projected and it's folly and
futility became evident.
A specifically plausible theory of
representative selection has been put
to experiment and has proved itself
to be much less representative than
the old open convention of delegates
chosen to choose. No measure of sup
posed electoral reform has ever had
a fairer trial. It's inordinate cost to
the taxpayers, its pernicious fecundity
as breeder Of fractional disputes and
its utter worthlessness as substitute
for the convention system or REM
edy for what was wrong in that sys-
tenn are now generally recognized.
In theory it is the finest thing ever
devised; in practical operation it is a
miserable humbug and failure. More
power to the elbow Of Judge Miller
when as governor and party leader he
calls for the scrapping of the direct |
primary for statewide and judicial Of
ficial officers!"
Judge Miller's statement is rather
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1920-11-18

frank coming as it does from one who
has just been chosen, through the di.
rect primary, to the highest elective
office in the unions largest state. No,
only in New York are men of thought
and experience beginning to seriously
question the value of the direct pri-
mary as political reform.
The argument that prevailed in IA
vor of the direct primary was that it
would give us better men for our
public offices and make them more
responsive to the common good and
more directly responsible to the
whole people. Does it? In our own
state has it given US better men for
public office. Witness the last cleo
ton. If Louis F. Hart and Judge w.
w. Black are the best men for COVER
nor within the ranks of the republic
cans and the democrats of this state,
God pity the worst! Neither Of them
is the choice of the majority of vot-
ers within his party and neither fair
ly represent the calibre, the thought,
the principles Of his party. On the
other hand Bob Bridges was undoubt-
eddy the choice of the majority in the
third party and is truly represen-
tative Of that party. Bob Bridges,
however, was not chosen by means of
the direct primary but in nominal
ing convention. Were he governor
today he would feel more directly
responsible to the party which nomi-
mated him and more responsive to
those things for which it stands than
does Governor Hart toward the re-
publican party and it's platform.
In the old days we were promised
that the direct primary would erase
the dollar sign from political action
and give the poor man an equal
chance with the rich. Has it? The
very best talent in both parties have
been barred from becoming candidates
because they did not have the time to
devote to primary campaign or the
money to finance it. The direct pri-
mary has multiplied campaign ex-
penses and made the dollar a greater
factor in politics than ever before.
Under it the race is to the man who
has money enough to finance his own
or is willing to accept the
of some ones else money.
That beautiful theory that under the
direct primary the man Of real merit
and no money could pay his filing
fee, put two-bit ad in the news
papers and the "dere peepup would /
elect him has been just as beautifully
exploded

PARENT-TEACHER' MEETING

The program ut the Parent-Teach-

was very literally attended and was
instructive and delightful all the way
through. Mrs. Floyd Pratt sang two
charming solos, and the work of the
children of the kindergarten and
those of the fourth grade, under the
direction of their teachers, Miss Ma
bel Blackney and Mrs. Paul Sangren,
was most interesting and ingenious
and was exceedingly well done. 1t
was found impossible to secure an
outside speaker for the occasion, in
which emergency Rev A. I. Cam
burn, the president CT the association,
made the address. 1t was a very
good address, filled with many prac-
teal suggestions, and those present
had no cause TO regret the absence
of outside talent. Mr.. Sangren made
a short and helpful talk. The matter
of the sale of cigarettes to minors was
taken up and committee was APP
pointed to devise means to secure en-
forcement of the law
