BoRAH AND THE DIRECT
PRIMARY

The people of Idaho are, in tho
main, opposed to the direct primary.
They have tried it and condemned
it. Then years ago the newspaper
men of the state sat down together
and resolved that it was not good,
and that they were sorely disap-
pointed in it. Senator Borah was
invited to speak in the meeting and
he advised that the direct primary
had not been sufficiently tested III
Idaho, and said that in order to give
1t q fair test we should go on oper-
ating under it for a number of years,
ten years or more, and expressed the
belief that as people came to under
stand 1t better, they would use it to
better advantage and to secure hap
pier results.
That ten years has passed, and in
that time very little has been done
in the operations of the direct pri-
mary that had not been done before
Borah addressed the newspaper men
of the state, and that has not been
in its favor. The direct primary
destroys political parties by disor-
ganizing them, brings into power the
worst elements in politics and drives
out of power the best there is in
politics.
Idaho men are qualified to speak
on this subject II they have lived in
Idaho the past fifteen years and
studied politics, and Senator Borah,
who has lived in. Washington the
past fifteen years has had no better
chance to observe its workings than
have those who have been where it
was in operation. If the direct pri-
mary had been in operation only in
the District of Columbia or In Pen
nsylvania and we had lived in Idaho
and the Senator had lived in those
places while it was in operation,
then we would agree that he was in
a POSITION to advise Idaho people
about it and that we should be slow
to doubt his judgment.
It is true that Senator Borah can
study the workings of the direct
primary in Washington and see how
it operates in Pennsylvania as we'll
as can the people of idaho and bet
ter, but Pennsylvania is not the only
place where it has been tried. We
believe that Senator Borah has been
influenced by his hostility to the
Penrose machine in Pennsylvania
and the fact that the machine was
beaten in a primary election, but
even that was not accomplished I'M
til Penrose was in his grave. And
who shall say that it was due to the
primary method of making nomina-
lions anyhow? 1t might have been
accomplished sooner if the direct
primary had never been heard of.
Certainly the old Penrose machine
had a good weapon in their hands
in opposing the adoption Of the pri-
mary law when they had the cor
rupting example of politics in Idaho
to point to as the achievements Of
the individual voting as compared
with the convention method. Those
to whom it's attention was called,
when they got the measure of condi-
lions here under the direct primary,
would very naturally recoil from 1t
and support the convention method
with all its Objectionable features
which are preferable to what we had
in Idaho before we amended the law
to take out it's most vicious features.
