Half the things said about the
corr1ptness OF one political party
or another are untrue Mr.. Shaw
declared. u don't believe that
money controls very many elec.
lions. although. 1t has its influence,
Of course. The SANDER and libel.
In political campaigns, he said,
is the awful thing about Ameri.
can politics. I've been to a good.
many conventions, but I've never.
had anyone offer me money or
anything to get my vote. Il don't
say It isn't being done, but I do
say 1t isn't done very much.
Il don't think the primary is
the best system" he declared in
referring to the statements made
by Major Nicely. This Is a rep.
resentattve form Of government"
he continued, pointing out that
everything in the administration
OF the government is done by rep
resentatlon. Now, Is 1t as good a
thing to elect somebody to 20
down and make our laws as to
do 1t o%urselves?" he questioned.
The American system is the con-
yention system, while the primary
system is more OF a trench war
fare. The American people want
open warfaref like in the open con-
ventIon.
THE recent filtration bond
issue Is a good illustration Of the.
primary system. II there had been
any discussion in public, 1t would
have been a success.
Il don't think a poor man or a
man without means could have a
ghost OF a show in a primary" he
continued, and referred 10 the
Ford-Newberry contest in Michl.
gan. 1.-THE convention system is
less expensive because the primary
system practically requires two
elections"
The legislature Of West yir-
gtnia recognized the fact that the
convention system Is less subjec
to corruption than the primary
system when it provided for the
election Of the judges OF courts of

would insure fairest MEANS" he
contended. at preserved the con-
yention for the nomination of

DISGUSSPRMARY
Public Meeting Of League Of
Women Voters Held Here
Last Evening

The direct primary was held up
as a fundamental Of. American
democracy by MAJOR NJ. M. Nicely,
while the system was assalied as a
"kind Of a gumshoe business that
Is not American by Harry Shaw,
in their talks at the open meeting
Of the League OF Women Voters
in the Circuit Court room last
night. Only fifty persons attended
the meeting. Although the speak
ers were scheduled to interpret
the state primary law. their talks
developed into a debate on the
advantages and disadvantages OF
the direct primary, as compared
with the convention system. Mrs.
N. G. Morrow, president of the
League Of Women Voters, presid-
ed at the meeting.
In opening his talk, Major
Nicely explained the method OF
voting at a primary election and
the arrangement Of the names OF
the candidates on the ticket, call
ing attention to the fact that the
alphabetically arrangement VI the
names is changed so that The
name Of each man will appear al
the head Of the list on part of the
ballots. On this account, he point
ed out, a person cannot rely upon
the location of a name on a sam.
pie ballot but must use his eyes.
He also cited. the oath OF afr
nation the voter signs before
being given a ballot, declaring
that 1t is a disgrace to the Legis-
lature Of West Virginia that such
wording should be permitted to 20
upon the statute books Of the leg
isIature."
The wording to which he referr-
ed reads as follows:
THE undersigned do each for
himself seVerally swear and affirm
that | am a qualified voter" etc,
etc.
He then launched into his an.
prevail OF the direct primary sys.
tenn, declaring that personally, i
would like to see the President of
the United States nominated by
direct primary" and adding that
"a majority is less likely to make
a mistake than a small majority"
He also referred to the national
party conventions, asserting that
they were controlled by a few
rather than by the majority.
Affliation with one party or
another was advocated by Mr..
Shaw in opening his talk. IT don't
believe anyone who has reached
the age of 81 years can be a good
American citizen unless he be-
longs to a. political party" Mr..
Shaw declared. Anyone who
doesn't belong to a political party
doesn't amount to very much" he
