The Sacramento I'alm, la comoi.niins on the propowd legislation, aava: It la not tree that tha '0017 aurt of direct primary that does any good I one that takaa the place of the nominating conventlona." The direct primary that will do the moat good la the one that will direct the nominating conventions, in ao tar aa the people of the commonwealth hare any prefer-ence- a among candidate, lea ring to conventiona representative function where no popular demand enlace. 1 hai la a direct enough primary to meet all requirement! for the delivery of the State of California out of the hand of n political organisation," and that la the main reform that la wanted. 1 The ccwatiiuihui aa it atand auch a sustain prito broad enough mary law If the aupreme court of the state ahall prove ae broad aa the proviaioDa. Fur fear that the aupreme court might fail in an emergency, or that the party teata now permitted might prove inadequate for keeping the aheep and the goata on tbetr respective Mee of party line. It ia well to have a good, broad ronsli-tutiunameadmeut submitted to the people by thia legislature. Buck eu amendment woold prove an anchor to windward, and ahould be supported by all frtenda of free government. There le, however, juat aa much of demand that all frtenda of free government ahall join In perfecting and auppnrllng the Sieteon direct primary bill, already before the legtHlaturc, aa there la that auch frtenda ahould rally to the aupport of another couatitu-tiona- l amendment bearing on the subof direct primariea. ject What le the purpuee uf a direct primary law? Why, it la to permit the voiere la each party to nay whom they want placed In nomination for office by their political partiea reapectively. When the people have apoken they have done nil that they gis do. They nmet trust to acme body of men in perform the functiona needful for giving effect to their expressed prefer-enceWhy not confide that function ta an fnatrurted convention, required by law to register and glvo effect to the popular will, na well aa to aomn other body of men or eomo elate officer? In that people of a etele, aa to certain vffleera, have no decided preference to espreea, in the event that their vote Vie divided up among ten or a dozen eligible aaplranta, nil men, but no one of them having more than fifteen or twenty per cent of popular aupport behind him, what then? Shall we not, la auch caaea, and only In auch caeca, permit the delegate chosen by the rank and file to coma together In n representative capacity and make the best arler-tkthey can out of nil thoae voted for at the primariea? If not, why not? The bane of the ronventiug ayatem haa been that It permlited auch a manipulation of the representative of the people In convention , aaaembled. Barb n playing upon the more Ignoble Impulaea of human nature, that popular preference! were aa frequently overthrown aa made effective. Kor tills reason there enisle a prevalent Impression that anything savoring of n convention aliould be cast out neck and heels. This la an srror and aa error which. If persisted In, will result In tho people slopping out of the frying-pan Into the lire. They will awaken to find that It la na easy for an "organisation to control a direct primary as it la for them to control n convention. The "organisation will have only to entice aa many favorite son aa possible Into tho lists and then plump the entire "push vole of all the cities In order to secure the nomination of their candidate by what stems to be n popular demand. a. the-even- t good-enoug- h 1 .
