PASSING OF THE DIRECT PRIM
AIRY IN IDAHO.

The action of the republican con-
vention in rejecting a resolution ia
voring a return to the statewide di-
rect primary and the adoption Of the
resolution favoring the present con-
vention system for the nomination of
congressional and state officers was
we believe an expression of the true
and untrammelled sentiment of an
overwhelming majority of the repub-
leans Of the state of Idaho If the
truth of this be questioned by those
who still adhere to the primary. then
they question the virtue Of their own
pet system. for it must be borne in
mind that the delegates to the con-

FAILURE OF PRIMARY SYSTEM.
(St. Louis Times)

The chief charge against the prim-
airy system of making nominations for
office, as that system pertains in this
state and many others. is not merely
that it is cumbersome. expensive TO
candidates and state and incapable of
awakening interest on the part of the
voter
For these conditions are really but
insignificant compared to the larger
allegation lodged against the system
now in vogue. That sin is its inabil-
ity to serve the public welfare.
1t is too often means of an I'M
known man riding into political pow
err. 1t makes wise choice of candi-
dates difficult and sometimes impos-
sible 1t demands that the aspirant
to official honors neglect his business
and at great inconvenience and ex-
pense to himself and his friends en-
ter upon canvass whose outcome
can not be accurately forecasted
While this latter requirement is an
embarrassment to the Office seeker
rather than the people. on its face, it
actually harms the public in a greater
degree because it deters many good
men from entering official life.
Then too. the primary plan as now
employed does not accom-
plish the end which it was chiefly de-
signed to serve. It is no safeguard I.
against trlckery
The early proponents of a straight
election" to determine the
'hoice of candidates for public office
saw in their minds all unfit men stink
ng from such a contest. It was be-
ieved that no opportunity for corrup-
ion at the polls could exist. The
ream of the pioneer pleaders for the
resent primary system was that II
would make the good citizen a power {
Or honest political rule. and that he Z
Guild never be overthrown. {
No such results have come in Mis- n
ouri from the use of the primary Z
system. Aside from bring D

The president in his proclamation
sets forth a principle which is about
as fundamental to our social order as

men who take the places of the strik-

have to decline to work"
We do not see how that principle
can be denied by any believer in Am

work in concert with others. to strike.

to prevent others from working is not

to give up the principle of equality or

harm has been suffered by true inter-
ests of the people in their political
life.
The reform of the primary system
must come. Its sensible development
is now seen to be necessary-its need
ed changing from a machine suppos-
edly self-operating to a system in
which the brains and experience of
party leaders will be called upon to
serve the public. The primary sys-
tenn as now employed does not do
this. 1t is too easily captured, more

the public has a chance to win grand

POPULARITY OF WALLACE AS A
CONVENTION CITY.

The republican convention in this
city last week drew approximately 800
visitors and every one of them left
here enthusiastic in praise for the
cordial reception extended to them
and the ample accommodations pro-
vded for the work of the convention
In the work of entertaining the dele
gates the people of Wallace had the
active cooperation of citizens from all
parts of the county and the entire
county will share in the benefits that
will follow. for the real benefits can
not be expressed in the dollars left
here by the delegates. All of course
had heard much of the Occur dAlene
mining district. but most of them had
never been here before and compare.
lively few had any definite conception
of the magnitude of the mining in
dustry and its tremendous value to
the state as a whole. They were Civ
en- an opportunity to visit some of |
the great mines, mills and the smell /
ter and they left here with a new and /
conception Of the greatness
Of their own state and the possibilities
Of closer and more friendly inter
course and cooperation in the devel-
opment of the resources of the state
IN this will be found the real and
asting benefit that will follow the
holding of the republican state con-
'ention in this city.
The same beneficial results may be ,
redited to other state gatherings
With which Wallace has been favored [
uring the past summer. There is of
curse a direct financial benefit that

ity, but that is secondary to the lar t
er one that contemplates a closer re- c
itionship with the people Of other s
arts of the state. Shoshone is the C
remier mining county of Idaho. and "a
lining is destined to become more o
nd more a factor in the prosperity le

ventlon were in effect elected through
the direct primary for while they
were chosen by county conventions
the delegates to the county conven-
lions were elected by direct primary
1t is a significant fact that the only
county in which it was charged that
machine" and steam roller" meth
DDS were used in the conduct Of the
primary and the naming of delegates
by the convention was Ada, the only
county that sent a solid delegation in
favor of the statewide primary Ada
had 20 delegates and when the final
vote was taken, after a prOtracted
discussion on the floor of the conven-
ton in which every delegate had a
chance to be heard. only 81 votes were
cast for the statewide primary out Of
total of 2O2, just IL scattering votes
in addition to the 20 from Ada county.
This should be accepted as a final
settlement of the direct primary
question so far as the republican par
ty in Idaho is concerned.
AS a matter of fact, we believe it is
only a question of time when the re-
publican party of Idaho will declare
in favor of abolishing the direct pri-
mary in the county as well as in the
state. The present law, which was
endorsed by the state convention, was
enacted more as a compromise meas
ure rather than upon any real merit
claimed for it, although it will be ad-
mitted that in practical operation the
county primary has an advantage
over the statewide system. Voters in
The county at least are in position to
know the candidates for whom they
are called upon to vote and are thus
enabled to form a personal Judgment |

or office, while they are denied this
advantage generally in voting for can
lidates for state Office under the
tatewide primary system. But even
With this advantage, experience has
hown that there has been no i'm
rovement in the character and eff
iency of county officers selected I'M
er the direct primary system. while
n the other hand it imposes a heavy
nd unnecessary expense upon the
themselves and upon the
lxpayers of the county.
The republican party enacted the I
Iiginal direct primary law in re- /
Donse to what appeared to be a pop a
lar demand. After a thorough trial '
which the defects of the system t
ere made apparent the republican il
lrty of Idaho, again responding to $
,pular demand enacted the present t
direct primary and con- t
'ntion law. 1t now proposes to il
the present law and give C
a further trial. and in this as in o
cry other act in connection with the h
ection law we believe it will be sup e.
rted by the people of the state. t,

MOORE REPRESENTS THE STA
BlLlTY OF IDAHO.

The nomination of Charles C..
Moore of st. Anthony. for governor by
the republican convention was in eff
feet accomplished several months ago
when he announced his candidacy.
From that time until the convention
it developed that there were others
who We're in receptive mood. but the
reception given to Mr.. Moore's an
nouncement was so favorable and
pronounced in all parts of the state
that il was evident the convention
would unquestiOnaby nominate the
man who was clearly the choice of
the republicans of Idaho. There must
be an explanation for this unanimity
Of sentiment among republicans of
great state, widely separated geo
graphically and representing diversity
of interests. What is it about this
man that made him the choice OF the
republicans of Idaho practically by
common consent?
The answer must be found in the
fact that he is recognized as man of
the proper mold to meet the perplex-
ing problems confronting the state.
Doubtless there are other men in the
party who measure up to Mr.. Moore's
standard, but the people are not in an |
experimental frame of mind. The /
platform adopted by the convention
reflects the desires of the people for a
constructive administration free from
visionary promises and demagogic ap-
peal for votes and it is evident that
the man who must be chiefly respon-
sible for carrying that platform into
effect must be one whose record in
both private and public life is in har-
mony with its provisions That ex-
plains why Charles c. Moore is the
republican nominee for governor. The ,
representatives of the party in con-
vention framed a platform embodying
the demands of the people and they ;
selected a candidate who can be de-
pended upon to fuldn every promise.
