PEOPLE OR BOSSES

Why continue the old method of party conven-
tons for the selection of candidates for the pres
idency?
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 send
ing delegates at great personal expense to
tion to say what their constituents have already
said?
If some such law could be enacted we would be
rid of the Ubiquitous convention rule entirely and
INSCRIPTIONS 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 nalienabe right
to expression of his choice in the selection of pub
lie officials. 1t not intended that his choice
should be warped and twisted by pary chiefs behind
closed doors, is too often case under the con-
ventiOn system.
Here is an example.
dozen or so men may be running for the NOM
nation within g certain party One of these men
may receive greater number of all the votes cast
at the various primaries than any other candidate
1t would seem that in all fairness he should be en-
titled to the nomination. If not why ask the peo-
pie to express choice at all?
Yet in the convention, because of The large num-
Der of candidates and the scattering votes
ne HAY De one OF TWO VOCeS SNORT OIL Cne necessary
MAJORITY of all votes cast by the delegates. If he
is unable to entce the delegates Of some other can
dldate away from their allegiance he loses the NOM
nation.
And right there is the weak plank in the whole
convention structure 1t let's the bars down for all
kinds of dickering and barterng and selling of dele
gate votes possibly resulting in the nomination of
some unknown quantity whom the people do not
want at ALL but whom the bosses think they can con-
troll if he is fortunate enough to win the election.
Of course, to abolish the convention system
The daily morning oasis., 1920-06-17

would deprive the party chiefs and bosses of their
control of the nomination, and possibly of their
troll OF patronage after election.
But the chiefs and bosses are few while the
common voters are legion.
Why should the few override the wishes of the
many in this presumably free country?
Why be boss ridden when we can just as we'll be
self governed?
Why not let the people be the people, instead
of being pawns of who think of themselves first
of votes next and of their country last of all?

BETTER DAYS

A better time is coming am quite sure OF
this-when you will see me drumming my Tyre IN

too scarce to mention, the serpent OF dssenslon VIII
be too weak to hiss We all are growing saner with
every passing day; the evidence grows palmer that
pipe dreams fade away; and soon we'll stand and
wonder why in the name Of thunder we tried to tear
asunder the things that ought to stay You'll see us
backward gazing and viewing, with tear our antics
most amazing in one unholy year, wnen we were all
denented distraught and disconnected, and every
day invented new kinds of doubt and fear And, on
the heights of reason, we'll mutter, "Can it be- that
through one goddess season no dome from bats was
free? O. can it be we ranted, and clamored to have
planted in this fair land enchanted fake kinds OF

Little by little these men are finding themselves

There is no grandstand play on the part Of these

It is sincere and determined effort TO save their
daughters from a fate which the moral 1axity of
the times invites.
And these mothers as good as gold
Most men can pay two OF three dollars for
hotel neal and not bat eye, but it pulls like the
devil to cough up fifty cents for good home-cooked

bottom again.

Alaska some day will be a state state will elect their own governor. Until Alaska does become a state it is the duty of every man and wo- man in the territory to endorse a real man to fill the office of gov ernor. Dan Sutherland, the new Re publican delegate, can do much to make the endorsement of MT. Haze let an assured thing. That he will dc so we firmly believe. There is no better man in the territory at the present time than MT. Hazelet to fill this office. He is an Alaskan who has demonstrated his ability and proved his sincerity for more than tWentytWo years. His record speaks for itself. He needs no ad- vertising. He has been endorsed by the Republican clubs of three towns in Alaska and he will undoubtedly be endorsed by every club in every town and by every thinking person who really has the interests of Alas Ea at heart Make it your duty to insist where the insisting will do the most good that MT Hazelet re- ceiye the appointment of governor of of Alaska. He is the right man for the place. He would be elected by a large majority if the people of the territory had the say in electing him governor. But we have not and the only remaining thing for us to do is to insist and keep on insisting that MT. Hazelet shall receive the ap- pointment from MT. Harding We are going to boost for him whenever and wherever it is possible to do SO. If there is anybody who can demon strate to us why we should not boost we will be only too glad to listen to you, but we won't promise to be- lieve any Jim told me that Ed told me that Harry told me tales about the Hon.
