Failure OF the Primary System

NOTHING has been more striking in the
present campaign than the incon-
cusvencss OF the primary results They
have not proven a safe index to public SEN
timcnt. They have been little else than
straw votes, participated in by minority
of Republicans and Democrats in almost
every State where preference for candidates
has been expressed at the polls.
More than dozen preferential primaries
were held throughout the country In most
of them only Republican candidates fig
urcd. Aside from Georgia and Michigan
little or no interest was taken in any Demo-
cratic contest. Ohio went for Cox without
fight. Nebraska staged a spectacular CON
test, but no candidacy was directly involved
in the Democratic end of it, notwithstand-
ing the assumed aspirations Of both Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Hitchcock.
1t is on the Republican side of the pro-
gram that one finds the deeper interest
With field full of avowcd candidates. with
great campaign organizations perfected, and
with great sums of money available the
Republican voters were given the opportun-
ity to make themselves felt and heard in a
most decisive way. They enjoyed the privi-
lege OF. stamping this candidate or that as
the undenable choice of the great rank and
file of the party
But they did nothing of the sort In the
first place only a corporai's guard actually
voted in larger number Of the States The
contest between Wood and Johnson in
Maryland, for instance. was farcical as Il
demonstration OF popular sentiment. Only
about one in every three registered Rcpub-
licans in the State voted AT all. In Massa-
chusetts only about $4,000 Republicans
went 10 the trouble to visit the polls or far
less than the Republican registration of
Boston alone. In California a heavy vote
was cast, hut not a full party vote by any
means.
The same thing is to be said of practi-
cally all the primary States And the not
result is that the nomination OF the Rcpub-
iican candidate was thrown into an open
convention. as will he the Democratic scloc-
ton. Johnson gained prestige as n result
OF his popular support and so did Wood.
, nut In IN" end the nomination was made
by a little cotcric OF senatorial political
bosses, just as it had predicted H. would be.
