AS NOT REPRESENTATIVE Radio Forum Speaker Declares Best Adpvertiser Rather Than Most Capa- ble Man Often Wins Race. The full text of the speech of Repre- sentative Will R. Wood on the direct primary delivered last night in the Na- tional Radio Forum, arranged by The Star and broadcast by the Columbia Broadcasting Co. over a coast-to-coast network, follows: Ours is a representative form of gov- ernment. How best may it be pre- served? How may it be destroyed? These are questions uppermost in the minds of thoughtful citizens today. It is commonly observed that our political situation is more nearly chaotic than it has been since the trying period when the Unlon itself was in danger of disruption. Certainly it has never been more out of keeping with the spirit of our institutions. It is an uneatisfac- tory condition, but a healthful sign that so many have begun to take stock to see what brought it about, and how it may be remedied. Primaries Block Party Purposes. There is general acceptance of the fact that if we are to remain & repub- lic—a representative form of govern- ment—we can do so only through the agency of political parties. The neces- sity for the party system was an early development under our form of gov- ernment and outstanding American statesmen have been its advocates. Leaders of the two great political parties of today are in agreement that the two-party system is essential to our form of government. Even the sgitators, who conform the least to orderly party procedure, while using the party as a vehicle to ride into office, profess to agree to the principle. They agree to the principle, but do every- thing in their power to thwart its application. hat, then, with such general agree- ment as to its desirability, has caused the tendency, ever growing and obvious to all, toward the breaking down of the system that has made our Govern- ment the most stable in the world? There have been contributing ocauses, but to my mind the direct primary system of making party nominations| has done more to break it down than | all other causes combined. Its twin so-called reform, the popular election of ‘Senators, has proved the very. re- | verse of a reform in my opinion, %ut| the primary struck deeper and wider. Unlinked to the primary system, the popular election of Senators could scarcely have created such a situation as we have in the Senate today, where groups, blocs and coalitions contend with each other very much after the manner of the European practice we view with so much alarm. I do not say that but for the direct ary we could have escaped the | world-wide political unrest, but I firm- | ly believe that under the convention system we wo'ild hive been in & vastly stronger posit'on to me ntain cur own | political equili>*ium. To ty mind the | confusion that hes resulted proves con- clusively that as an effort toward bringing the people nearer to their ernment, the direct primary system been a failure—that it has, in fact, removed them further from it. Under its workings issues multiply, non-essen- tials abscrb the attention of the voters sand the results of each succeeding election, contradicting themselves, make it more and more impossible for politi- cal observers to arrive at definite con- clusions. Best Advertiser Often Wins. The theory of the advocates of* the primary was that under ngs the best man i marvelous s, any form of| notoriety becomes a political asset and the champion marathon dancer or tree sitter may look hopefully to a political future if he dces not have a taste for the talkies. The demagogue thrives under it, group and sectional interests achieve results out of all proportion to their deserts, organized and vociferous minorities confuse and confound the {ssues until even the most intelligent voter is at a loss to express his wi at the polls. Is it any wonder, then, that those nominated and elected under this misleading system to repre- sent the voters are often at a loss to_know how to re h-m3 It is pertinent to nt-day po- | Htical conditions tc ~ thet the | ‘eat convention wh'sh d-bat~d. formu- | ated and finally adopt=d th» American | Constifution, which has withstcod the test of over 150 years, was a convention composed of delegates that, in turn, had been selected by other delegate bodies in their home States. It is impossible to conceive of a situation in which greater issues were at stake, issues which involved the destinies of this born Nation and the welfare of all those American colonists who had sacrificed everything in order to win political freedom and the right to set up for themselves a Government pat- terned after their own ideas and em- bodying their own aspirations. I ask you also to consider that this eonvention was composed of delegates | elected by other conventions at & time | and during & period when that direct and simplest form of popular govern- | ment was in full bloom, namely, the | town-meeting system. There is some- thing unusually significant in the fact | that when it came to the tremendous | decisions involved in the drafting of | & Constitution for the Nation that the | town-meeting methods were abandoned and our forefathers relied upon the | ability, sanity, conservatism of a con- vention. U. 8. Government Oldest. | the organizing of headquarters, Pisher Ames, in the Massachusetts eonvention which ratified the Consti- tution, in addressing himself to the | subject of delegating responsibility and final authority to members of a con- | vention in contrast to the town-meeting | methods of governm-nt so long ployed by that great Comm said: “I know but one p the people can efiect without tion, and that is to destroy governmen’. That_they not_erect a_government, |rivalry of such individual campaigns {out the iand. is evinced by our being thus assembled in their behalf.” So we find the mgst distinguished precedent of the convention system of handling public affairs in that great constitutional convention which wrote the charter of our Government, pro- nounced “the greatest work ever struck off at a given time by the hand and brain of man,” giving us a Government where freedom and order go hand in hand and liberty is safeguarded by law. ‘There have been a number of efforts since that day to improve the ma- chinery of government, both in_this country and in other countries. How- ever well intentioned some of these ef- forts have been, all of them have failed in that the methods they substituted and the new forms they put into effect did not bring about either a more democratic government, on the one hand, or & more stable government on the other. They have ranged all the way from the rule of the mob and the decree of the guillotine in the bloody French Revolution to the absolutism of the Czars of Russia, the military despot- ism of the Turks and the benevolent monarchy of England. Today the Gov~ ernment of the United States of Amer- ica is the oldest in existence. By that I mean no other government, with the possible exception of some of the family dynasties of India and the Orient whith existed at the time of the adop- tion of the American Constitution, is in existence today in the same form and substance, and, with one or two ex- ceptions, none of the governments which were in existence then are in existence today at all. What a tribute to the representative system of han- dling public affairs! Experimenting Has Resulted. ‘We have had political experimenting in the United States, but happily to date our experiments have not violent, as were those of European na- tions. With the single exception of the Civil War, which was successfully con- ducted to a close, there has been no attempt in this country to overthrow our Federal Government and tear up the American Constitution. Our experi- ments have bsen more or less sugar- coeted. They have besn wrapped in the pleasing habiliments of so-called ideal! They have been urged in the | name of the common people. Most of them purported to make government by the people more direct. Most of them have proved failures. ‘The popular primery was adopted, ac- cording to its partisans, for the purpose of putting control of political parties, and ularly party nominations, “in the hands of the people.” The main arguments used when the agitation for the direct primary was at its height, some twenty years ago, were that under the old convention system of selecting party nominees the people had no voice the conventions were boss controll 11> n°minees were hand picked and not ntative of the people; the con- ' veal.on system was corrupt. These pretty well cover the charges that were maze against the old convention sys- t-m and were the base upon which there was a popular demand for the adoption of the primary system of primaries are frequently nominated by from 3 to 7 per cent of the total eligible party vote of their constituency. Clearly there is no “rule of the people” in such a system. ‘There have been explanations. offered of this condition that are worthy of consideration. The experience of party | primaries, by and large, justifies the ! | stetement that they too frequently turn into camnaigns of personalities charac- terized by all sorts of mud-slinging and quasi-libelous speech, instead of intelli- gent, temperate discussion of issues and principles. There has been a growing tendency to make demagogic appeals to prejudice and ignorance, to certain classes and factions, all of which tends to bring the entire primary to a low level. As a natural result, men of stand- | ing in the professional or business world hesitate to enter party primaries and face a campaign of billingsgate by some 11 | shyster opponent or be made the target of unfair attack by some organization. From that angle the primary system in k many sections of our country has almost e'im d the very c'»<5 of men which the American people should have in public office. Wealth Is Necd:d E'sment. This 1s another angle. It s common | knowledge that the primary system is making it impossible for any except the very rich man, or man who has the backing of organized wealth in one form or another, to make a campaign | for nomination in State-wide primaries, | Nor is the immense expenditure of money necessary to conduct a primary campaign necessarily a corrupt expendi- ture. A candidate for a State office in a party primary, unless he is very widely known, has to bring his name before the voters of his party. He cannot sim- Ply announce his candidacy and then ' €0 about his private busiuess in the ex- pectation that there will be a general outpouring of the public on nomination day to support him. He has to adver- tse himself, the same as a motor car, 8 brealkfast food, a radio or a toilet scap. That costs money. It requires rental of rooms, the employment ":)? :fino&r?&herfi‘ (lhle purchase of supplies, riting of letters, el r the buying of Under_this system, in many ins! individuals spend more money in thelr primery campaigns than do party com- mittees working for a whole ticket in the general elections.

On the face of it, it eliminates r men and men who do not care, use of ethical reasons, to place themselves under obligations to political bondsmen in connectidh with the dis- charge of their official duties in event they are successful. To say that such a system affords a correct expression of the people: is to deny the whole theory of representative government. Special Interests Gain Power. Some of you may be of the opinion this is too severe an indictment of the rimary system. Some of you may be- ve you have in mind instances which prove that my conclusions are too sweeping. There may be some excep- tions to this rule, but they are so few they prove the rule. Where this condition exists, and it does exist, in some variation, in prac- tically every State and community which has the popular primary, we do not have representative government, a government of the people, but a gov- ernment of interests, or classes, or ar- ganizations, who back men to fill public offices and finance their campaigns, fully expecting to control their actions after they have taken the oath of office. Because of this, our Government is becoming a Government of special in- terests rather than a Government of the people. These interests may be road-building interests; they may be contractors desiring to do business with the State or municipality; they may be organizations working in the professed cause of good government; or some or- ganization with a high-sounding title, financed by those interested in getting us embrofled and entangled in foreign alliances and international organiza- tions; or organizations which represent a very limited class of citizens; or theg may be sinister organizations whic operate largely in the dark, but operate none the less powerfully and almost in- variably corruptly. These are the in- fluences which are, by reason of and through the medium of the primary livlnern, getting their hands on the throat of popular government; and there is no-way to get away from this condition, in my opinion, except to re- peal the primary laws and go back to the convention system. Instead of the office seeking the per- son, the person is compelled to seek the office. stead of the Feople getting better service from their public offi- cials as a result of the primary, they get worse service. Instead of making it impossible or harder for corrupt in- fluences to control party nominees, the BIAR. these influences to folst themselves the party, and also has made it hard for the party and the people to get rid of them. Platforms Almost Meaningless. ‘The old-fashioned ical boss, whatever his shortcomings, did not, as a rule, attempt to foist upon the ptra men without character and witho mental equipment. The men the con- vention system drafted for service were men of standing, of mentality and of high character. Those who made up the convention took small chances on having their slate “shot to pleces” in a campaign by the opposition, because the ticket was defective in character or brains. Al had an investment in the party machine, which had been built up through long years of effort. felt their influence in party affairs at stake. They did not care to risk their investment or lose their influence by putting up a ticket that could not stand the acid test of public analysis. If you do not believe this is true, compare the men in public office today with those of a generation ago and draw your own_conclusions. ‘The difference is due to this funda- m:ntal fact. In the old convention system, the man who was nominated, owed his nomination to the party machinery, He went into office pledged to carry out the party platform. The party platform in thoss days meant something. Nominees for officz were bound by it, and, in event they disre- garded it after election, it meant their political death. The primary system has made party platforms absolutely meaningless, even though parties in some primary States still hold conven- tions and adopt platforms. Inasmuch as these platform-adopting conventions have no power over the candidates, they cannot see to it that the platform pledges are translated into public action. Inasmuch as such conventions have no power to punish candidates who do not carry out the platform, such candidates may feel free to ignore all party pledges. Under the present system, a candidate may be his own organization, his own platform, his own R:llq maker. Such a candidate need ve no regard for party organization or party pledges. You cannot carry out party platforms and party pledges unless you have discipline. You can- not have discipline unless you have a system which makes it possible for the party machinery and the party organ- ization to compel men nominated on its ticket to do what the party has promised to do.
