The growing independence' of the voters in affairs of municipal, county and atate concern, led to the enactment of new lawa in which the votera' rights were more thoroughly safeguarded and some of the powers which they had delegated to represeatstivea were re turned to them. The direct primary ,. la w, enacted by '. the people themselves, is one of the moat important of these, Under ita provisions the voters may not only get the representatives they want but . they may inatruct them to do their bidding even in the election of United State aenatora. They have discovered that in the, scramble. for nominations. If they only concentrate their . votes' on thoae they know will. carry out the popular wishes, they can nominate them, ' In . the municipal pri-i mary of last' year 3,000 votea nominated the Republican ' ' candidate for mayor. . In a hard fight for such an office ! this i a small vote-to secure; a nomination. .
