" know something: about ipolitics.” The tuture President then began to earn the compllment by showing how muoh he Teally did know. ‘Said ‘he, “I can name the gentleman ‘who elected “you; his name Is known to everybody in the State; he lives in —— county, it it 1s not n cessary that 1 shouid 19 bim, You were elected by him and t by the peo le of your distrlct And it Is lntereating to know why that ig true. You were elected on a ticket that contained, at a guess, one hundred and twenly five names. Now, there is no comminity in this country that can select for itself one handred’and twenty-five pemns to be voted for. It is too elaborate a job; it cannot be done in that way. It can. select three or four persons, but outside of that number I doubt if‘it can select any.” 1 et e politics which he taught for twenty-five years, and to which, as the political head of this country he will address himself for the next four years. Expressed in a more positive way, his remedy for our political ills is literally simplicity itself. It was four years ago that he said in one of his first “political” addresses:— “Simplification! Simplification! Simplification is the task that nwalts us; w0 reduce the number of persons voted for to the absolute workable minimum, knowing whom yoy have selected; knowing whom you have trusted, and hav- ing so few persons to watch that gou can watch them. That is the way we are going to get popular control back in this country, and that is the only way we are going to get political control back. Put in other elected officers tc watch those that you have already elected, and you will merely remove your control one step further away. Elaborate your sovernment phce every officer upon his own dear little statute, make it necessary for him to be voted for, and you will not have demoeratic government.” It was the same principle of simplification he had in mind last spring whan he announced his intention to use the President’s room in the Capitol. For, as he says, “We must particularly get rid of this idea that the several parts of government must be shy of each other. The people canmot watch a three-ring circus.”—That is another of his aphorisms. And when nll this is summed up and boiled down we have the Short Ballot. which meqa t!ymt when the process is completed the people will have an in- strument of so few parts that it will require no professional mechanic to operate it. The expert politician who has been indispensable in the past, and whom we have spurned as the “boss,” will find himself without an oc- cupation. He will not be needed because the voters will really elect their representatives instead of just fondly believing they did. : The remaining articles will tell how this principle is already being worked out in our cities, counties and States.
