THE VICIOUS PRIMARY SYSTEM

The evils of the primary system were forcefully shown in the recent primary in Pennsylvania. The successful Republican candidate, Representative Vare announced that it cost him $71, ,435 to win the nomina- tion, and he did not get majority vote at that Gov. Pinchot spent $43,767 for the distinction of being last in the race, and Senator Pepper expended S2,50O. Repre- sentative Phillips, who ran for the guber- material nomination and finished fourth; was out no less than S91,O ,OOO. These sums represent only part of the enormous am- cunts spent at the promary.
 It has been remarked many times that the standard of public servants has deteri- orated since the primary system came into being. Many, if not most, of the public men of today are strongly opposed to the pri- mary The late President Harding, in speak ing at Lincoln day dinner in Washington a few years ago, denounced the primary as undemocratic, wasteful, impractical, and unnecessary He declared that 1t opened the way for corrupt practices and that 1t did not, as it's supporters contended, reflect the true sentiment of the voters. The primary system has provided opportunity for men wholly unfit to serve the public to force their way into office.
 Not only has the primary lowered the standard of those who fill public offices, but it has led to numerous charges of corrup tion and has cost the taxpayers great deal of money It means, in fact that the cleo tion machinery must be set up twice every election year, which, of course doubles the cost to the state or district. The old system of nominating by state convention imposed practically no expense upon the taxpayers. Delegates to these conventions paid their own expenses. Candidates could not spend great sums in securing nominations by con- ventions without being found out; and laws against corrupt practices are more easily enforced under the convention system than under the primary system
 No candidate should be compelled to run twice and pay great sums for campaign ex- penses. First rate men will not do it. They prefer to remain in private life. The coun- try has been deprived of the services of highly desirable men because they would not and could not compete with unscrupu- lous rich office-seekers in primary cam paigns.
 The primary is a nuisance because it is practically duplication of the fury of an election campaign; it is a menace because 1t opens the way to corrupt use of vast sums of money; it is unwise because it tends to put inferior men in office. It should be abolished.
