the voters.
In fact many ut our new laws are still

the operation of this law he will find
that while it has killed the political

chaos and opened the way for only the
rich and men of means to rnn for office.
Practically it lias abut out the man of

much money as he may desire. The
man of limited means stands no show

not the means nf conducting twn cam

run the gauntlet of the direct primaries
and then at the regular election also.
The direct primary in its present form
does not protect the people, and is not
representative, as a minority candidate
