Wil Blame It for iHigh Election Costs in =Coming Senate Probe. The forthcoming Investigation by a =eldgt committee of the United States Seridte into reports that millions of dollars have been spent this vear in certain senatorial primaries will take two -eparate and distinct “leads.” F¥st will be an effort to disclose A rérudescence of “Newberryism” in the. lavish use of money, and second- Iy, thera will be an attempt to show thal the primary system, even in the best ‘of circumstances, calls for per- featly legitimate expenditures which are, staggering to a poor man, and, therefore, the primary plan should be ahelished. There unquestionably is a growing sentiment in Washington against the whole primary scheme of things. The agitation has extended to a number of | | States where repeals of the primary laws are gending. If the Senate in- vestigatias, therefore, can be turned into channels which will show that 1he primary gives the man of money, or the man backed by power of the financial interests, an overwhelming advantage in.legitimate appeals for votes, the opponents of the primary feel they will have made telling head- way in their fight. Men Now Seek Office. 1t is claimed that the primary sys- tem has been reaponsible for keeping £00d men ont of the Senate and the House and that this accounts for what s0mé belleve 1o be a distinct lowering | of the caliber nf Congress in the past few yvears. Elthu Root is & mvorite example of ose who aaks these claims. They say Mr. Ro® would never consent to run in a primary, go out and make speeches and advertise for votes in order to get a nomination. In the case of Mr. Root, and men of | Z his ilk, it i said the office had to seek the man. Under the primary system the man seeks the office and seeks it with all his might and main and money, too. In ‘the case of minor offices the i plum often has gone to the man with | § the loudest voice. The primary and it direct appeal to the people has opened the way to public office of the showman typs of politician. In the case of a State-wide fight. such as that which recently occurred In - Pennsylvania, where millions of voters had to be reached. the primary | called for immense expenditures in be- half of the three senatorial candidates. Gov. Pinchot probably had less money than his twe opponents, and therefore | J he had fewer votes. A primary fight of the character of the one waged in Pennsylvania calls for extensive or- ganizations, for workers at the polls, for huge sums in newspaper and bill- board advertising, for the employment of speakers and subspeakers and can- vassers—all legitimate expenses and siartling, no doubt, in their totals. These expenditures mean that the comparatively poor man entering a primary race In a big State must ac- cept the backing of wealthy men or make an extended appeal for funds || from smaller sources. La Follette on Committee. ‘The Senate investigating committes eonsists of two Republicans, two Demoerats, and Senator La Follette of Wisconsin. who is written down as & “Progressive Republican.” The Republicans of the committee, feeling that their party is under fire in the investigation, will endeavor to show that all expenses in the Pennsyl- vania, Iilinois and . other primaries were legitimate and unavoidable under the existing primary system, which invites. it it does not make indis- pensable, this large use of money. The Democrats naturally will at- tempt to show that the use of these huge sums of money was simply the Republican way of doing things. They will say Republican victories at the Polis have been made possible by the | Invish use of money. a commodity with which the Democrats have had little or no acquaintance during the Past eight or ten vears. Just what Senator La Follel attempt to show is problem: say the least. The Wiscons ator believes in the rule of the ple,” and therefore is a defender of the direct primary system. It is difficult to see how he can su If wages an' salarles wuz based on what we earn, instead o' on what it costs t' live, we'd see some real strikes.
