also struggling to get free from
machine bosses, and to gain the
power of selecting their own
V public servants, and of making or
, vetoing needed laws by means of
. the initiative and referendum; and
there, as here, only more outspoken
f ; ly, there is a great protest of party
' organs against the "destruction of
representative government."
The governor recommended the
' selection of delegates to the national
convntions by direct vote of the
people, and the party organs are
v condemning him as little less than
an anarchist. Such a method, they
, , say, would be prejudicial to If not
, : destructive of party organization
and what would the dear politicians
' do without political machines to
V work with? One organ walls:
. "Ton are going to take the choice
.f delegates from the party organ-
; ' lration and give It to the dlsorgan
lied electorate." Terrible! that the
L 'disorganised" people should really
at last have a voice, and a vote, and
actually decide, as to who should
'-, represent them in national conven-
, tlons. Instead of turning that busl
r ness over, as heretofore, to the
United States senators and a few
bosses. Under such a "disorganized"
" method, how Indeed can a grafting
' and corrupting party machine get in
j its work? But, as the Detroit News
. Bays, the party is not destroyed be
'. cause the voters take the party's
. business out of the bosses' hands,
and it continues:
Mistaking the party organization for
the party, and a few selfish bosses
lor the "organization," the machine
Interests bewail the consequent loss
: , Of power to name delegates and to con
'" trol nominations. A blow struck at their
peculiar office and at their manipula
tions, In their opinion, la a blow struck
at the party. Who but the rank and
. file of the party have the right to choose
national1 delegates, and in .what sense
would a law permitting them to vote dl-
. rect without the interposition of county
and state conventions menace the right
of the rank and file, upset their or
ganisation, or Interfere with their tra
. dltlons?
The choice of delegates should. In--:
Heed, be the party's exclusive privilege,
not the exclusive privilege of tbe ma-
- chine bosses in convention. Sclf-con-
atltuted bosses who have mistaken
themselves for the party may well
qulrm at this menace to their sacred
privileges, and their organs may well
r whimper their protests against the
promised confusion of their political
plans by the entry of the rank and file
of the party upon the scene as direct
; voters.
- , In Oregon next year, a convention
will have to name delegates to the
national conventions, but thereafter
the people would better take that
business into their own bands also.
Wo are beginning to hear the same
"whimpering" and see the same
viqulrming" here that the News
mentions as manifest in Michigan;
bat the rank and file of voters can
rest assured that it comes from those
who want to become bosses and run

to the people's hurt.

JuBt what Mr. Harriman really
thinks of the people and news
papers who are criticising his
railroad management. Is he blind
to the facts that they see, or to the
fact that they see them? Or does
he speak ironically, and with sar
donic humor. In suggesting that
they appeal to the courts and the
interstate commerce commission to
give the railroads, and Harriman in
particular, fair treatment? "The
railroads," Mr. Harriman says, "are
suffering from unjust agitation of
questions unrairiy presented, and
from the enforcement of unjust and
discriminative laws." Is this the
voice of blinding egotism, or of
taunting defiance?
a
There I. no "unjust agitation."
The people', grievances, at least out
in this part of the country and es
pecially in Mr. Harriman'. exclusive
domain, are very real. Urgently
needed line, of railroad not built;
shortage of cars, year after year
and growing worse every year; great
areas kept from development by lack
of railroads, and region, traversed
by roads poorly served; rate, arbi
