Direct Primary Advocated
by Call Indorsed in
Communication
The trustees of the chamber of
commerce, and of the Merchants'
association have united in an en
deavor to have the union labor,
the democratic and the/republi
can parties join in the selection
ex a nonpartisan ticket for the
November election. Letters con
taining this suggestion* have been
addressed to the county."commit
tees of the three parties. The plea
£3 made that if this plan should
prove objectionable,- the three
parlies adopt voluntarily the direct pri
mary method and ?el^ct.^th^r^'s^nii-
Uutes- prior to the ejection for-prlmary
'i?2egate«. ". . . -.
Tie letter commends the proposed
cwindrricr.t to the state constitution
/ \u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0 • \u25a0-- • .
;•' ovid'ng for the direct primary as
fiivocßc-iil by The Call and which the
last legislature voted to submit to the
;isoj]fi. It is the object of the cham
ber" of commerce and the Merchants'
association to induce the three parties
to'E-srea upon one ticket, composed of
met representative of the entire com
munity. The letter addressed to the
three county committees follows:
"The trustees of the Merchants' asso
ciation and of the chamber of. commerce
beirtg desirous of removing all class and
partisan feelings and working to
jrether for the best interests of our
city, x^fcile disciaimin!? cny desire or
intcntidr. cf. entering lr s to pirtisfc;* poli
ties, becj to cugrcst -that ia tht'tJ opin
ion the great majority of citizens are
E!«nilw'.y disposed and are only eager
for honesty and effectiveness in the ad
ministration of municipal affairs with
out regard to class or .partisanship.
"Under such conditions we venture
to suggest that your committee will
best serve your party at this time by
Eceking.th'e welfare of "the entire com-,
m unity by arranging: a joint ticket rep
resentative of the whole people, and at
the same time so selected as to com- ;
ir.and respect and confidence.
"If upon fair consideration this plan
should seem impracticable, we would
respectf-^ly suggest the advisability of
your taking: the community into your
confidence as to your plans for the com
ing campaign prior, to, the selection; of
your primary delegates.
"By act of the -legislature there will
be submitted to the people of this state
at the next general election & constitu
tional amendment permitting the legis
lature to enact that - primaries shall
consist simply of voting directly for
candidates for nomination and elimi
nating from our political system con
ventions, this reform "having been
adopted' very successfully already in a
number of states.
"As conventions have become . merely
ratification meetings, this seems a wise
and wholesome provision. In the in
terest'of good government it has so
operated wherever tried.
"It appears to us that what the peo
ple are asked to enact as a salutary
and beneficial measure should be
adopted at thts^ time -by, the; parties
vol untarily, 1 that- is -to say, v without
waiting for the command; of the law.
We accordingly urge upon you that in
the spirit of, the amendment to the con
stitution which the legislature; decided
to submit to the "people you select the
best and most efficient men as your
candidates and that you declare arid
make public your selections prior to the
election for primary delegates^
"Such action will- enable, the public
to Judge the character of- the men i sug
gested and cannot .fail -to iserve'the
Interests' of honest and. intelligent-gov
erntr.cnt. alv.ays needed, but raarej than
ever at this time^;,^.:
"A similar communication is* being
se'hl'r to the other \u25a0 party organizations
iind it is . believed that your compli
ance with this \u25ba request _ will do away
