 It isn't the primary system that particular method that Is to blame It fs the character the who after office, and the political organiza- tions that come into the primary system and employ their money there. It is harder to bribe enough voters to con rol the majority between contending factions, where the people all have chance vote than it is to go into back and buy few dele gates.

PRIMARY CANNOT RE BLAMED FOR CORRUPTION
Wrong Done by Few lndividuas shosId Not be
 Imputed to Entire Electorate.

(By James A. Reed, in LaFollettes Magazine.)
 To destroy the Primary because few have abused 1t. would be equivalent to burning down the house when the plumbing went wrons Instead of call ing plumber to repair the break. r.s s..
 Because some gentlemen desiring once went out and raised enormous of money. because of that wrong done by individuals follows that the system Is wrong than that bank should be destroyed because the president or cashier has footed it.
 Money Isn't spent because of the primary. It Is spent because there people who want to be nomi mated and elected. They could just es we'll apply corrupt methods to the convention system; in fact. they could do 1t much more easily and directly. by applying the money directly to the purchase of dele gates. s4

NEW YORK, Dec. 24. QP1-vice President Dawes. in a speech before the Pennsylvania Society of New York, attacked the primary election system. He said: The rapid expansion of and munich pal business. and the patronage, Npled with the indifference of qualified voters. h:r of whom don't go to the polls often results in the nomination of candidates selected and controlled by those having business interests the continuance of the existing administration
 Under the old convention system, such condi- tions would encourage the drafting and nomination of clean candidates by the opposite party, in order tn gain advantage from clear issue at the polls between clean and unclean government. Under the primary. the opposition cannot draft the strongest men candidates emphasize the issue. The primary system is responsible for and improper of money in contests It s steadily tending to debauch electorate since opportunity of the minority parties properly make the issue of corruption before the public. It largely secures the immunity of vote buyers from political consequences with the resultant increase in their activity The primary is responsible for the elec- ton of men by parties. some of whose chief effort after election seems to disorganze their party and light its policies.
