Show 1 What This Pump Needs Is Priming PROVO. UTAH COUNTY. UTAH, TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1947 Editorial... Direct Presidential Primaries In the 157 years since the constitution was ratified, four amendments have been passed which affected the methods of participants parti-cipants of national elections. The 12th Amendment made the office of vice president presi-dent subject to election, rather than giving it to the losing candidate in the race for president. The 15th Amendment gave the vote to Negro citizens; the 17th provided for popular election of senators; the 19th legalized woman suffrage. Now Senator Langer of North Dakota has proposed another change. He would give the people the privilege of selecting candidates for president and vice president through direct di-rect national primaries conducted by both major parties. In the rush of recent events. Mr. Langer's suggestion hasn't caused much popular excitement. ex-citement. Vet it is sound enough to merit wide discussions.

The Washington Mrry -Co - Round By Drew Pearson A Daily Picture of What's Going On in National Affairs WASHINGTON President Truman hearo some blu tnUlk about "liberalism" from an un expected quarter the other day. The man who preached the .sermon on liberalism was none other than Ed Flynn, "boss of the Bronx" and the man who did the most next to Bob Hanncgan, to nominate Truman at Chicago. Flynn. together with Democraticleaders from Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut Con-necticut called at the White House to discuss party political prospects with the chief executive, and barely had they been seated when Flynn cut loose. Democratic executive director Gael Sullivan, Sulli-van, standing pear the president, started the dis- l cussion by saying: "Folks, this is our listening post for today. We want to hear your problems. Go ahead and tell us about them." "The bigegst problem the Democratic party has." shot back New York's boss Flynn. "is staying libera). Unless the Democratic party remains liberal we're licked." Truman politely said that he didn't notice any such trend. "Well," replied Flynn, "we've got to get in there and pitch for more progressive legislation. We've got to fight harder for health, welfare, social so-cial insurance and education. We've got to do a lot more than we've done about housing too. We can't let Taft steal the play on that front either." "Ed. I'm going down the line for every piece of legislation I believe in," Truman declared. "I stated our program of social legislation in my message mes-sage to the congress last January. In that message mes-sage I wasn't just talking with my head, 1 was talking with my heart too." Note Next day, the house passed thc tough G. Harding emerged from the fog of ai dcad smokefilled room as a boss-picked Republican; candidate. in 1920. there is reason to believe that Al Smith, not John W. Davis, was the popularf Democratic choice in 1924. In fact, Wcndelj Willkie's nomination is about the only rebent example of direct public influence influ-ence iuupickiaig a new candidate. Another advantage is the possibility that a presidential primary might give some voice to the impotent and virtually disfranchised disfran-chised Republican minority in the South. As it is" now, the votes of southern delegations to Republican conventions are numerically important and politically powerless. They j GOP anti-labor bill with 93 Democrats voting with can be manipulated to influence, even decide, I ine nePUDUCans the choice of candidate without any pretense of popular representation. Objections to the Langer proposal naturally natur-ally have been raised. It has been said that primaries would 'give no clear majority to one candidate. It has been predicted though this is open to serious question that most states would simply pick a favorite son. It hks also been claimed that direct primaries would destroy that geographical balance, so dear to the professional politician's politi-cian's heart, between the home states of the presidential candidate andthis running mate.

Mrs. Rosalea Nielsen 986 West Third South MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING HAGUE SPEAKS Jersey City's Frank Hague, who also had a lot to do with nominating Truman, backed up Flynn. He too called for more liberalism in the party as an essential for re-election in '48. However, How-ever, he wasn't as outspoken as the boss of the Bronx. "We've just seen the enormous rise in the president's prestige nationally." said Hague. "Bui we must not be deceived by it. We re now in an era of good feeling. This is the very time we must work the hardest. If 'we don't we're liable to slip back into the rut."
