PEOPLE OR BOSSES.

Why continue the old method of party conven-
tions for the selection of candidates for the pres-
dency? '#&> ~
Why not let the voters of party record their
own choice Of candidate at the party primary
and have the result certified by the county clerk
to the national committee of that party, instead OF
sending delegates at great personal expense 70 q
convention to say what their constituents nave
already said? 49,.
If some such law could be enacted we would be
rid of the iniquitous convention rule entirely ana
unscrupulous delegates would no longer be able to
dicker and trade and effect secret combinations for
their own personal gain, as we strongly suspect
is frequently the case.
The trainers of the constitution intended that
every voter should enjoy free and inalienable
right to an expression Of his choice in the selec
ton of public officials It was not intended that
his choice should be warped and twisted by party
chiefs behind closed doors, as is too often the
case under the convention system.
Here is an example.
A dozen or so men may be running for the
nomination within certain party. One OF these
men may receive a. greater number OF all OF the
votes cast at the various primaries than any other
candidate It would seem that in all fairness he
should be entitled to the nomination. If not, why
ask the people to express choice at all!
Yet in the convention, because OF the large num-
Der of candidates and the numerous scattering
votes, he may be one two votes short OF the
necessary majority of all votes cast by the dele
gates. If he is unable to entice the delegates OF
some other candidate away from their allegiance,
be loses the nomination, =
And right there, is the weak plank IN the whole
convention structure. It lets the bars down for
all kinds of dickering and barterng and selling of
delegate votes possibly resulting in the nomination
of some unknown quantity whom the people 40
not want at all, but whom the bosses think they
can control if he is fortunate enough to win the
election. = .
OF course, to abolish the convention system would
deprive the party chiefs and bosses of their control
of the nomination. and possibly Of their control OF
patronage after election.
But the chiefs and bosses few, while the
common voters are legion. II
Why should the few override the wishes of the
many in this presumably free country? So -
Why be boss ridden when we can just as well be
self governed?
Why not let the people be the people, instead
