DISFRANCHISEMENT
The present Legislature will go down carrying a cei
tain distinction not enjoyed by their predecessors. 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With these laws repealed there would be nothing in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.

If Japan must bring her pressure to bear on China
she should be wanted to exert it in the opposite direction.!
The earth’s kind of thin on this side.
