He points out that If 100000 emil

two years they would send back home
something like $1,000, 100000, which
bringing foreign capital into Italy,

and guile politicians in both parties tried to OBJ
struct the enactment of the legislation. Now,
with one swoop, the legislature is asked to repu-
date, in theory the principle of the direct prl-
mary, and to give in fact, to the old practical
politicians the power of hand picking the candi-
dates
The argument has been advanced by op-
ponents of the direct primary, and accepted with
finality by many voters, that the direct primary
system forces the candidates to make canvass
of the state for the nomination, entailing heavy
financial drain, and that as a result poor man
is hopelessly defeated at the very outset. But
the voters forget that under the old convention
system, candidates travelled through the state to
get in touch with the delegates and to enlist their
support. 1t is alleged, with what degree OF truth
fulness we know not, that considerable sums OF
money were spent by candidates in the "old
days" of which the public knew nothing, and that
it cost as much then as it does today to obtain a
nomination..
There is somethinD specious about the whole
argument Of economy. Why should a candidate
be forced to spend thousands of dollars to let the
state know who he is and to proclaim his ability
to hold office?
The inconsistency of the proposed legislation
is apparent in still another important factor.
Why should the congressional and state candi-
dates, as we'll as the candidates for the United
States senate, be selected by convention, and
the county, town or city officials by direct pri
mary?
Ii the people are entrusted with the right to
choose the candidates for local Offices why not
for the state and for the congress? Supporters
of the convention system may reply that the
people are intimately acquainted with the candi-
dates for local offices but not with the careers
of the men who are seeking elevation to state
and national office.
The fact however, is that the men who are
seeking state and congressional posts are not as
obscure and unknown as the opponents of the d.
rect primary would lead us to believe they are.
Let man announce his candidacy for either Of
these offices, and the spotlight of publicity is
Immediately turned upon him, so that within a
few days the voters of the congressional district
and the state are in possession of the facts.
The people of Indiana are confronted with
only one issue-shall they control the nomina-
lions, or shall they be relinquished to the prac-
teal politician and to the boss?

The Attack on the Direct Primary

The proposed changes in the primary law,
which are Incorporated in bill that represents
the opinion of Gov. McCray, are an attack on the
direct participation of the people in the selection
of candidates for public office, and for that rea-
of Indiana.
Much has been said and written about the
expenses of the direct primary, but this argu-
ment merely clouds the real issue, which,
stripped of all verbiage, amounts to this-shall
the people or the politicians select the candi-
dates? If the voters keep that point in mind
they will not be deceived by the arguments which
the opponents of the direct primary will adduce
in support of their contention to yitiate the
worth of the law in the interests of an alleged
economy.
The proposed changes in the law says a news
dispatch, provide for the nomination of all con-
gressional and state candidates by conventions !;
candidates for the United States senate would
also be nominated in conventions county, town or
city officials would be nominated either at di-
rect primary or at convention, the method of
making the nomination being left optional with
the county or city committee. Delegates to all
conventions would be elected at the primary.
Professional politicians still cling to the old
theory that voter has sense and judgment
enough to know how to elect nominee, but is
too ignorant to know how to nominate candi-
late. Some of the bosses also believe that the
voters will be glad to relinquish their right to
participate in nominating primary so that the
politicians will have the opportunity to nominate
the candidates of their own choice in conven-
ton.
One does not have to be an old voter in Ind-
ana to remember how long and hard progressive
fought for the introduction of the direct
primary system and with what aggressiveness

Expressed in American dollars, the British pay the
highest war tax s65O capita at present exchange at

The American, the Deawarcan pays $3.50 as his an
uual share OF the cost.
Tho Frenchman pays $3.50. which, under normal ex-
change rates, would be ss0A0
These three, as generally supposed, were among the
winners in the late unpleasantness.
Germany was the losing side. Yet the average Ger
man pays war tax OF $3.50 at the present rate OF ex
change Of German marks
The Briton pays in American dollars more than twelve
times as much in war taxes the German.
Only the italian, among the vicors pays fewer dollars
