DEATH OF PRIMARY
FEARED BY CAPPER
BY ARTHUR cAPPER

United States Senator from Kansas
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Some-
thing like clamor for repeal of
the direct primary is arising this
year from "Old Guard" members Of
both political parties. They don't
like the way the people are using
their political freedom. particular.
ly in this years contests.
We have under the controllec
caucus and convention govern.
ment of all the people by profes-
sional politicians financed by spe.
cial interests which they necessar-
lily serve.
There must be. financing some.
where in the ma chine system and
the donors of campaign funds ana
particularly lobby funds are nee
essarily first served.
They are the true dictators, Of
government under such a system.
Under the OLD convention system
large sums changed hands ard
privileges costly to the people
were bartered away; conventions
bought.
In primary contests most OF the
money is spent for postage and
printing, for conveying information
about candidates and issues.
Those who oppose the primary
system virtually say the American
people are not qualified for self
rule If that is true the only rem
edy Is monarchism, the same mon
archism that wrecked Europe,
which Europe is discarding.
The primary system is capable
of Improvement. 1t will be improv.

ing and the extending should be
done by its friends-the t'jokers"
must be kept out. 3
