The reason is that the invis ible workings "of the conventions are thoroughly under stood by the people, and distrusted in proportion. This popular distrust created as a remedy the direct primary, which hits eliminated the convention in Oregon and other states, and the experiment may or may not prove a Htep in advance. It was intended as a corrective. Jl was brought about by betrayal of public interests for special interests by the politicians. Tbe control of the or ganizations became centered in corrupt and unscrupulous groups financed by privilege-seekers. The deliberative feature of the convention litis become largely illusionary. The enthusiasm is largely a manu factured commodity. Programs are cut and dried in ad vance and the delegates, like automatons, carry out the order of the day. Voters are expected to be governed bv prejudice and ignorance and blindly ratify whatever is done, regardless of men named or platforms presented. Conventions became commercialized along with politics. The recently issued hook by Samuel Blythe, entitled, "A Western Warwick," published in the Saturday Even ing Post, gave a glimpse into the inside history of presi- .i....:..i i; r i ..: ii...i ...i i'i! ... ' i ... urjiiHii noiiumi cHiiii'iugim mai runs pontics oi us ro mance and is calculated to" eventually take the guff, bun combe and hurrah out of political campaigns, leaving them io ne occnieu upon merit aim principles. The political convention is as old as the Anglo-Saxon race. 'It was the original government of the Germanic tribes in the forests of the. Whine before theV conquered Kngland. It survives in parliaments and legislatures. Whatever liberty the world enjoys is duo .to it. It is gov ernment by representatives of the people, who are pre sumed to be selected because of superior attainments and to act patriotically for the 'common good. In the purest democracy the representative merely carries out the wishes of the people he represents. It is because the politician betrayed the nconlc that the so- eallod Oregon syslepi was devised to force him to act as the people willed. The .system is" intended as a corrective and experience will probably cause its modification as its weakness becomes apparent as the' old order passes.

Mr. Kent, as independent, occupied an enviable posi tion. He was able to ignore partisanship and support the best measures of both parties. Although a heavy owner of Mexican nronerlit's, ho onnosod intervention as fin back as H)ll, when President Taft had the problem under consideration, and is almost, (he only American millionaire interested in Mexico who did not want the nation to go to war to benefit his personal interests. Mr. Kent was a leader in the fight for parcels post, for government ownership of munition plants, for rural cred its, old-age pensions, industrial insurance and other sim ilar legislation, and opposed with all his vigor the spolia tion of natural resources for private gain, the raid of the power trust aud legislation for special interests. The loss of Mr. Kent in congress will not only he a loss to California, but to the entire nation. OF PROGRAM Al PAGE An iiiieiiiiilcd mm if prourain upcii liidux at I lie I'njte Ihculcr.
