THE PRIMARY FARCE.

X at present constituted, it doesn't make candidates Iwt '
kills then). Instead of creating popular support for a ma'.:,;
it creates opposition, instead of inducing party harmony,!
it destroys it.
The state presidential primaries should he abandonc---entirely
or made binding. No state has a primary law nov
which is more than a suggestion, and when delegates g'4
into a national convention they don't, consider suggestions.
Talk about moral law is silly. National conventions have
no morals.
The obvious remedy is to have a preferential prhnaw
for the nation and put the national conventions in the ash
hea), where 1hey belong. Then the members of each po
litical party c.ould choose their candidate and the campaign
could be carried on with the party leaders responsible to
no one but the party rank and file.
The present arrangement is a bodge podge, neither fish
nor fowl nor good red herring. .More than that, it is open
to serious abuse. In 11113' state the people may vote I'm
out; man as their presidential preference and then send a
delegation to the convention, secretly pledged against him.
There is no reform in such a system. Jt only increases
popular disgust with Hit! entire political arrangement.
' Kitlicr there should be a federal primary with the vote

vention to the place now occupied by the electoral college,

politicians to use their strength.
"Heeau.se the Legion is non-political and non-pa rtisai'
in character is no reason, however, that its members or
posts should not consider the merits of candidates from
the standpoint of their Americanism. It is within the pro
vince of the various posts to scrutinize closely the war
record of any office sticker, it is t heir right and their privi
lege to know iust where a candidate stood during the war
and just what he did and did
If he did not don a unuorm, the ex-service men have a
right to inquire' whether his
an were valid. II he remained a civilian, did he do his
duty by his country as such? Did he serve in any of tin1
great work behind the lines'? Did he contribute generously
to the welfare organization's which served the fighting
menf Did lie buy Liberty Bonds ? Did he back up his gov
ernment with his money, his heart and all his moral
strength'? Or did he perforin lip service only and devote
his energies to the enriching or Ins own pocket while others
performed the big tasks to.be done? Was he a slackc?
Did he evade his plain duty or aid and abet others in the
evasion of duty '?
"All of these questions the Legiouaires have a right to
ask of any. man who is seeking office, whether municipal,
county, state or national. That is not politics. It is patriotism.

LETTER TO A MEDFORD DEMOCRAT
Dcnr Sir:
I beg to aeknowledge reeeipt of your letter, dated May
11, 1920, and to express by thanks and appreciation for tlie
information contained in your letter.
For your informal ion I will say that I have never asked
a favor of Senator Chamberlain, personally to myself or
kin, and therefore, cannot be charged with being a disap
pointed office seeker.
Alter his .New lork speech 1 immediately determined j hereby announce my candidacy
that I could not vote for Senator Chamberlain at the Demo- for nomination on the republican

cratie primaries again. His record as a Senator following! ar Jf elected 1 promlso econom.
that was such that 1 informed Secretary of War Baker on hcai management of the coroner's ot-

... , i
positively oppose renaur nainnoriaui wun tin my nngoi
and I informed the-Democratic National Committee on its
visit to I'ortland last summer to the saint! effect, and I fully
informed these people as well as Senator Chamberlain's
federal office friends that I intended to take just such ac
tion its I have taken in this matter, so that you can set
that Mr. Myers has absolutely nothing to do with my ac
tivity in. this matter.
My son and only child was in uniform within thirty
minutes after war was declared, and I never asked a favor
for him while in service, nor did he ask a favor, and in view
of the conduct of Senator Chamberlain, I submit that no
patriotic Democrat could pursue any other course than I
have taken, who has the welfare of his country and party
at heart.
I note what you say about the Portland Journal and
in this connection will say that my office has been in the
Chamber of Commerce building, its present location siii'-e
November 1, .1919, but notwithstanding this, the Portland
Journal, a day or two ago, saw fit to publish the false
statement that I had offices in
ing owned by Stanfield, one of the Republican candidates
for United States Senator, which must go to show the des
perate straits the opposition is in.
Again thanking you, I am, yours very truly,
