PRESS COMMENT

Silver City Independent: The republican Albu-
querque Morning Journal carries platform at the
head of its editorial column. the first plank of which
reads; "A primary election law which will restore
the power to the hands of the people, where it be-
longs" The republican bosses of New Mexico have
persisently, consistently and successfully opposed
and defeated anything and everything which savors
of a primary law, and, if the Journal can reform
its own party in this regard. it win have accom-
plished nothing less than a miracle

Majority Necessary In Texas Primary.
Amarillo Tribune: The primary election ballot
voted on Saturday was the shortest in a number of
years in Texas. Usually the ballot is some three or
four feet long, with almost countless number of
candidates for various offices. There may be a num-
ber of for this. The fact that salaries for
public offices, having remained practically station
airy during the advance in cost of living no long
er attractive to a large number of people. Most
men and women who capaby fill public office
can earn more money in other occupations.
But it is more than probable that the adoption
of the double primary and majority nominations is
more responsible than anything else for reducing
the number OF candidates.
Under the plurality plan of naming candidates,
it was an easy matter for man with small back
ing to slip in and get larger vote than any other
one candidate and be elected by vote as small as
20 per cent of the total. Naturally such a posi-
blilty was prolific breeder of candidates, with the
result that very often the least popular of the
pirants for office was elected.
With the enactment OF the law providing for
majority nominations, this danger very largely
removed, and doubt it has proved a deterrent in
great many cases. incidentally, it is beneficial to
the state, because under this system no man
be elected to office unless he is the choice of ma
jory of the voters and whether results in getting
the best man in every instance it at least has the
virtue of making the people better satisfied with
the results.
