It has gone the limit in an effort to disfranchise the votei s o the Territory with respect to certain offices. Among these was the changing of the office of Com missioner of Education from elective to an appointive. Now the Senate steps forward by passing a bill re pealing the law requiring direct election of national com mitteeman and delegates to national conventions, and held up a bill for repealing the primary election laws j pending action upon a similar law introduced by Nerland in the House. There can be but one motive behind this effort to abridge the rights of the voters. It is to create a machine j capable of dominating the Territory thru its ability to1 create and pass out party plums for the members of the machine. If the voters have not the right to voice their choice of delegates to national conventions and by the present primary express their choice of candidates for election, it would be interesting to know what these rights are. With these laws repealed there would be nothing in the way of a small group of men putting their heads to gether,1 naming a slate and shoving it thru without op position as in the old days before the primaries gave the voters a say in the matter. It gives the same machine power to name delegates to national conventions who will see to it that the machine members are cared for first and last and the public may have what is left. Experience has taught that the greatest safety against machine domination is in the primary. The pub lic may not at all times make the best choice, but it is a not sponsor this effort to wrest the power from the peo-j shall have a voice. It is to be hoped that the House will kill these bills; with a vote showing those who elected them that they do | not sponsor this effort to wres the power from the peo- j pie’s hands. J. P. Morgan having capitulated to President Roose-j velt, it is now in order for someone to move to make his: selection unanimous. ★ ★ ★ Maybe Hitler’s change in government is an effort! to keep up with the automobile in new models. ★ ★ ★ If Japan must bring her pressure to bear on China she should be wanted to exert it in the opposite direction.!
