Gov. Donahey
Defends Primary
Election System

Numerous citizens, partisans as
we'll as independents, have requested
me to outline somewhat comprehen-
sively my oft. repeated defense of the
primary election system. The ques-
ton is occasioned by the proposed
amendment to our state constitution,
subject to popular approval at the
approaching election, which would au-
thorize the General Assembly to abol-
ish primary elections and restore in
Ohio the system of political nominal
ing conventions.
So far as / am aware, the main
arguments being advanced against
the primarv system are:
l. That the people nominate can
didates of inferior ability;
D. That many voters remain away
from the polls on primary election
days; and
8. That primary election cam
paigns are expensive.
In view of the short period the pri-
mary election has been in force, the
contention that the people nominate
weaklings is premature and therefore
not worthy of consideration. We have
had statewide primaries for only Ia
years while the convention system
prevailed more than 100 years. Not
all the candidates of the old nomin-
ating conventions were towers OF
strength.
The complaint that many citizens
fail to vote at primary elections is
deserving of serious attention; but
fortunately these elections draw far
greater number than would be at
tracted by elections to name delegates
to conventions. Nobody can convince
me that more people would vote for
convention delegates than do now di-
rectly for the candidates themselves.
The most effective way to bring out
a larger vote would be to liberalize
the primaries by giving the people a
chance to vote for nominations with
out having to disclose their political
affiliation, a private matter, which
many do not want to proclaim pub
licly.
The argument that primary elec-
tions campaigns cost too much sounds
like the same identical objection
which the people formerly had to the
old convention system. 1t was money,
more than anything else, that killed
the nominating conventions. The
reign Of the old time monied bosses
always supplied with unlimited
funds by the interests seeking an in
side hold on the government-is too
recent to have been forgotten. | can
cite instances of primary nominations
costing very little, although, | grant,
some nominations have been obtained
at great expense. AS long as inter-
ests insist on spending large sums to
secure nominations of their own
choice, let US have the expenditures
out in the open at primary elections,
instead of secretly in connection with
boss-controlled conventions.
The primary system has broken the
power, glory and prestige Of old poll
tical bosses, who, in their days, had
the influence of kings. We don't
want a restoration Of such kingdoms.
In essence, the question is whether
the people Of Ohio shall continue to
exercise, or be dispossessed of, their
undisputed right and present privi-
llege of selecting the officials who are
| to administer their government.
English speaking people have not

More than 100000 enthusiasts in
Canada are playing golf, with a
choice of some 400 private and 40
municipal or public links. In Win
nipeg. for example, in addition to
many first-class private courses,
there are four municipal links run
by the city. and the golf-bug has
bitten one out of every 30 persons
in Manitoba's great prairie me-
tropolis. While public courses
throughout Canada charge a very
small fee, most visitors may play
the best private links when intro
duced upon payment of low
green's fee. Montreal, Ottawa,
Hamilton and Quebec, in the east,
have many links which are as fine
a test of the game as a golfer de-
sires. and as Jess Sweetzer and
Alexa Stirling. both former U. S.

THE men who compose the Legion
know what war is. They have seen
it at its worst, and they want no
more OF it il it can be honorably

that controversies and quarrels be-

that reason, if for no other, The
American Legion advocates the main
tenance of adequate forces for in

That there shall be no misunder-

stand that the word hood as used in
the license prohibits the wearing of
the hood of your order"
Mayors Previous Letter
Mayor Mclean made public Monday
a letter that he wrote to Mr.. Leigh a
few days ago in relation to the wear
ing of a face covering on the day of
the parade.
Il reiterate in writing what l told
you over the telephone that the per-
nit granted to the Khan to parade
means exactly what it says said
Mayor Mclean in the letter.
II do not expect those participant
ing in the parade to go bareheaded,
nor do I see anything in the license
given which indicates any such inten-
ton.
1T does mean that everyone par
ticipating in the parade shall have
their faces exposed at all times and
any failure on the part of anyone par
ticipating to have their face exposed
at all times shall be construed as a
violation of the license.
The word hood as applied to your
order is commonly interpreted to mean
the covering of the face. and your or
der Is referred to in the newspapers
as hooded order
IF wearing hoods means covering
the face then the license does not per-
nit them to be worn. You know the
restriction is that no persons face
shall be covered.
while the license seems to me to be
perfectly plain, in order that there
may be no possible misunderstanding
in your mind it will be interpreted by
us to mean that no persons face shall
be covered, and it will be your duty to
see that no excuse is offered to any
one to violate this license"
