Editorial Comment

minneapolis Journal)


Dan Moody, who beat MA" Ferguson handsomely
in the first Texas primary. but fell little short of
the necessary majority, has defeated the woman
governor by nearly quarter of million votes in
the second primary.
And great many northerners have been asking
themselves why this run-off primary, which merely
confirmed the result of the first race, should have
been necessary.
Well, in this particular instance, nothing was
gained by it. The outcome was foregone concu-
sion. The money spent for second balloting
bought ashes.
But, just the same, the law providing for run
off vote has its place in Texas. long the race
for nomination starts with a ree-for-a wide-open
primary. For in Texas, in eight or nine other
southern states the Democratic nomination is equiv
alent to election With dozen self selected can
, didates running, aspirant whose election was
desired by only fifteen per cent of the voters might
easily slip into office, were the first primary con-
elusive
! But under the Texas system, large enough
field in the opening primary can split the vote to
such an extent that neither of the two candidates
in the run-Off is satisfactory to the majority of
citizens. The voters may easily find themselves
forced to choose between two evils. better chance
for the registration Of majority will in one-party

He has objection to including other issues,
but he proposes that prohibition enforcement shall
