ELECTION PRIMARY CHANGE PROPOSAL

The opposition to the present primary election
system seems to be gaining ground, and improve
ments in the system will likely crop up in the
coming state legislature. The change would find
favor in both the major political parties.
We wonder how many of the present genera
tion know that the primary election system we
have was sponsored by the late ]. w. Tannehill,
when he was resident of this place-a former
editor of this paper, and member of the Ohio
Constitution convention of 1912 He took the
lead in the debate on the proposition and did not
encounter any formidable resistance, since the
political leaders at that time were generally held
in rather low esteem. Mr. Tannehill made it
point to attend state conventions of both political
parties He firmly established in his mind that
the convention were boss ridden. At that time
and for a number of years previous, George B.
Cox had control of Republican politics in Ohio
1t was seemingly an easy matter for him to con-
troll the picking of delegates to the state conven-
