The Primary LawY

January % was a lively day in the two houses in COMPARE
son with the more or less dreary days of the past. Repeating the
statutes piecemeal has been a fayorite sport, but the elections
committee of the house spurted up and put in a bill, House No.
AZ, which repeats the whole of Chapter 1853 of the Wyoming
compiled statutes, 1920. which is the direct primary law in its
entirety. This act If passed would restore the caucus and con.
vention system automatically. Most every one is disguised with
the primary system and would like to see it abolished. The
complaints against it have grown with the years of its opera
ton, and it is recognized as the most deceptive law that was
ever written in the statutes, in that it delivers none of the
things it promises. The theory is that it confers upon the peo-
pie the right TO choose their candidates for public office. If this
ever has occurred to the knowledge of any voter it has occurred
by the accident of circumstances and not through aid of the
primary law.
Over sensitive people throw up their hands in horror, pro-
claiming that sacred rights of the people are being wrested
from them by repeating The primary. Since they do not possess
any rights under this law, it is difficult to see how they can
lose anything by its repeal.
1t is simply a cumbersome, costly piece of machinery that
delivers an inferior lot of candidates, for whom we are com
PEELED to vote if we vote at all, and in nine cases out of ten
We don't want to vote for any of them. 1t prevents really able
and efficient persons from becoming candidates, because OF the
expense and because they will not subject themselves to the
ordeal of two campaigns to obtain the office.
There has been a lot of talk over the state about repeal
ing the primary law. This is the opportunity to show how sin
cause one party suffers just as much as another from its blight.
The fear expressed in some quarters that If one party repeats
the act the other party will secure some advantage by crying
aloud that sacred rights have been stolen from the people by
the party taking such action. That fear is all moonshine. If a
thing is wrong, have the nerve to right ii, regardless of conse-
quences. II the Republican party does not possess the nerve to
power, or to be further, regarded as the party to lead the peo-
pie in thought and action. Here is a law on the books, so putrid
that it smells to high heaven, and yet men are afraid to bury it
from fear of honest voters. Honest voters want the primary de-
stroyed, they show it by their refusal to participate in primary
elections. That ought to be assurance enough to satisfy legis-
lators. If the Democratic party or any other party can make
part of the Republican legislature that does it, then let it. No
party will be able to capitalize such an act in such manner. 1t

Mr.. Coolidge and His Helpers

The announced change that is to occur in the state depart
ment taken together with rumors respecting other designations
from the cabinet, has once more started speculation about a
president and his official family, and specifically about the
attitude of Mr.. Coolidge toward the men whom he invites to
share with him the work of the governmnt. Some of the guesses
on this subjct are certainly il-natured and probably unbound
outstanding figures in his cabinet. He is represented as plan
ming one by one to cut off the taller heads. This view would
make him uneasy at having the foreign policy of the United
States identified with the name of Secretary Hughes. A small.
er man in the state department would make it easier to speak
of the policy of the administration as the presidents own.
Similarly of other cabinet positions, the gossip is that Mr..
Coolidge would wish none of them to be filled by men who
might seem to overtop himself. Not conscious of great powers,
and making no pretense to them, it is limited that he would
prefer to keep the cabinet down to n comfortable level of me-
diocrity.
These insinuations are so much afloat that It is impossible
not to take notice of them. But, in our belief, they are wholly
unworthy. Whatever color they may have is derived from ele-
ments in the situation which are natural and perfectly easy to
need Of shaping and controlling his own administration for the
next four years. He will be held responsible for whatever is
done. He is entitled to choose the instruments most apt to his
hand. y certain reconstruction of the cabinet was faced. Mr..
Coolidge must consider lieutenants with whom he can work
well not only for a year hut during the entire term of his presi-
dency. He must weigh not only his personal preferences but
the fitness of the men he selects to do the job assigned to them.
1t is necessary, for example that he should establish some sort
of working agreement with the senate. That fact doubtless in.
nuenced him in choosing Ambassador Kellogg, a former Sena-
tor, to succeed Secretary Hughes.
1t is not necessarily a question of big men or little men. A
president is not judged by the stature Of the members of his
cabinet, but by the results which they and he working together
produce. Show Mr.. Coolidge n great and desirable end, then
offer him the man best fitted to attain il, and il is inconcei,
able that he would hesitate for an instant out Of fear that a
portion of his own fame might be alienated to another. The
bigger the man, the more eagerly would his services be drafted.
The president would do IL in the spirit of Tennyson, crying out
when England seemed to be suffering from a dearth of large
gauge statesmen, "Oh, Bismarck, come over and rule us and We
will give you a million a year.
