sive of deliberation. I utter such clr
cunialatieea real ttebale—that i«, at
tempts to influence the opinions Of men
by appeal to their sober Judgment-U
out of the <|ue*tion. The tlespateh t>(
business makes it almost imperative
that the presiding othert adltere to a

it would have been under the direct

The primary Impulse to the ehange In
this oonaerviitlve stale is in the fact
ttial the very v oters w ho send delegates
lo do their work for them tiave no way
of Itmling out whether llie work was
done as they wished, often as l:iey '[*■
filleally directed.
The convention has lost public confi
dence, and the chief reason for this is
found in the |*ersistent relusai oi those
in charge to pul into elici t the simple
rule of honesty which goes with the
provision for a roll call whenever a
small is'rccnlage of the delegates de
nianded. The two times w hen the pub
Itcity is absolutely demanded and is
absolutely essential, are when the par
ty caucuses are held for nominations
all the way down from l niled States
'senatorshtp' to the founts t mu mis
sioner*hi|>s. So far it has been ltn|ios
sttile lo get tilts arrangement into effect
at such votings, except last session,
when the County foaintissionership
lor Hartford county was decided by
roll call vote In an open caucus—a pre
cedent not to be forgotten.
The movement toward the primary
nominating scheme Is strong and grow -
tug. The one way to hold it baok, if
that is desired by men of practical ex
(HTienee in |iolilieal aitairs, is to intro
duce publicity and contldence into ex
isting methods of choosing officials.”
We give the altove as evidence that
