K plaint of a few Republican pa

says: ' "No more cunningly
conceived plan to overthrow the
dominant party could have been de
vised than the primary system under
which the minority party Is able to
win 'with bands down In this state;
The' people are already sick of the
initiative and primary system." The
Record "goes on to explain that the
majority - party" divides Its '. rotes
among a number of candidates, all
of whom except the successful one

if not antagonistic, while the mi
nority party is united on one man.
who receives many disaffected votes
of the other party. But it is not
explained why this is not equally the
result under the convention system,
r at every, convention of the sup
posedly dominant party; there are
rival candidates tor all the offices
Tjbe .fact rather seems to be that
where there are several candidates
for the same office the strongest and
best man does not always get i
plurality of votes, whereas the mi
nority party in , the bare hope of
winning selects its strongest and
best man, and when the people come
to vote they see that the minority
party candidate. Is the better man
for the position.
But if some such minority party
candidates are elected, what harm
Is done? Why should the people
care? Indeed, - they don't. They
rather like it. NIt Js only the poli
ticians who are complaining. What
does mere party success amount to

would suppose so, to read these or
