( latute which refused to ian out ihe recommends Republican goverror' lions, and although It was only a minority of the Republican members which bi ought about this refusal, the Tarty cannot escape a measure of responsibility for ihe failure; but It Is otilv just To renn uiber that a clear majority of the Republican members of each house supported the bill, whereas three fourths or over of the Democrats opposed it. This Is one of tin cases where It is easier to apportion Individual than party responsibility. ThoBr "who believe that b their action they have definitely checked the movement for direct popular prl marles are. In my Judgment, mistaken In its essence, this is a movement to make the government more democratic, more responsive to the wishes and needs of the people as a whole. With our political machinery It is essential to have an efficient party, but the machinery ought to be suited to democratic and not oligarchic customs and habits. The question whether in a self governing republic we shall have self governing parties Is larger than the particular bill. We hold that Is the right of popular incomplete unless It includes the right of the voters not merely to choose candidates when they have been nominated, but also the right "to determine who these candidates shall be. Under our system of party government, therefore, the voters should be guaranteed the right to determine within the ranks of their respective organizations who the candidates of the parties will be, no less than the right to choose between the cand! dates when the candidates are presented them. There is no desire to of bpeak down the responsibility party organization under duly constituted party leadership, but there Is a desire to make this responsibility real and to give the members of the party the right to say whom they desire to execute this leadership. In New York state no small part of the strength of the movement has come from the popular conviction that many of the men most prominent In party leadership tend at times to forget than In a democracy the function of a political leader must normally be to lead, not to drive. We, the men who compose the great bulk of the community, wish to govern ourselves. We welcome leadership, but we wish our leaders to understand that they derive tbelr strength from us. and that although we look to them for guidance.' ve'ei-- ' pect-thi- s guidance to be In accordance with our interests and our ideals. .

But while 1 freely admit all this, I nevertheless feel. In the first place, that on the fundamental issue of direct primary nominations the Governor Is right, and. In the second place, that, as the measure finally came up for action In the state legislature, It was well-nigfree from all objections save those of the men who object to It because they are fundamentally opposed to any change whatever In the desired direction. The bill provided only for direct popular action In the primaries la relatively small geographical and political communities, thereby making the experiment first where there was least liability to serious objection, and avoiding or deferring the task of dealing with those big communities where the difficulties and dangers to be overcome would bea greatest. Moreover, while guaranteeing full liberty of Individual action, It also provided for the easy malnte-naaneof party organization, and s thereby avoided some very real among them that of encouraging the use of masses of the minority party In any given district to dictate the actions of the majority party. In. other words, the proposed bill, while It marked a very real step In advance, was tentatively and cautiously framed. and provided all possible safeguards- Kain8f.ftbyaes,i JfJn practice,.
