I'HN BEE: OMAHA, MUNDAY, AlNY 10, 19106, Nebraska PLAN TO MODIFY PRIMARY SYSTEM, Democrat and Republican Politi- | cians Discuss Method by Which it Might Be Done. STATE omcm{s BY CONVENTION (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 9.—(8pecial.)—The possi- | bilities of the selection of candidates for office by a small minority was the sub t of discussion democrats and liouse one day of nearly been to say the among a number of republicans at thi Iast week. The opi fon every one has was the primary least disappointing “Take for Instance the present outlool in the republican party in this said a republican. “Already we have fiv candidates for the republican nomination for governor and probably one of more may yet get into the fight. They all be good men personally, but A possibility that perhaps one or two of them might not be just the material needed at this time. Mind you I am call- ing no names, but in the selection of a candidate it is essential that the very t man be selected for the position. In tl Jast election the republicans cast a little over 100,000 votes for governor. Suppos: that at the primary this year there are about the same number of votes cast for eay the five candidates already in the field and say for instance that they poll about the same number of votes each on an average, it means that possibly 20,00) or 22,000 voters may select the candidate “'Our government was founded on the broad principle that the majority should rule, but in this caee we see A very small minority selecting the and it simply can get his name before the people in the most attractive way is likply to be state may party candidate the candidate although his qualifications | may not be nearly as good as any of the other candidates.” How to Deal with Problem. “‘But how are you going to get around 4t?" answered another, who happened to | be a democrat. “The people are so stuck on the primary that it would be next to impossible to repeal it and the man who would come out with a platform to repeal | the primary wouldn't get to first base, although I admit that it needs fixing up about the worst way." “I would not repeal the primury,” an- swered the first speaker. “I huve heen thinking over this matter a great deal the last year and if T were a member of the next legislature I would introduce a bil about like this: “I would repeal the state-wide primary %0 far as the selection of state officers 1s concerned. I would still have county primary, for generally the people in a county are pretty well acquainted with their own candidates and can vote pretty intelligently on their qualificationa to hold office. I would have the primar in the counties which selects the candi- dates for county offices at the same timo clect delegates to a state convention. T would have the delegates to which each county s entitled elected by commission CistrieX3 for instance. “Thed @ suppose that Richardson county was entitled to seventen republi- can o @mocratic delegates. There are three eemmissioner districts. 1 would have each of these districts elect fts auota of delegates according to the num ber it was entitled to according to the eame vote on which the number in convention was determined, the fractional votes to be added and delegates at large 1o be elected by the whole county on the | number. That is, if one district was entitled to four votes and a fraction, the next to fiv and a fraction and the third to six and a fraction, this would leave two dele- gates to be selected by ge. Come From People. hese delegates would come directly f the primary them over the county and they all come from the towns. These dele gates could go to a state convention and come In contact with the candidates and be in a position to vote more intelligently on their qualifications than the average voter could who went into the compelled to cast a ballot, which to say the least would be anything but an in- teligent vote. “But this would give a chance for tie- ups, just the same as we used to have,’ #aid another man “T admit that,” said the first speaker, “but that would not necessarily rean that a tie-up would mean a candidate unqualified, would it? ‘If the people of a county had con- fidence enough In you to send you down to the state convention as a delegate, they ought to have confjdence enough in | you to belleve that you would be for the best man for the office, even if a tie-up as you call it was necessary to land him “I admit that in tie-ups were the of packed con- Ventions, but you want to remember that when we inaugurated the anti-pass law we took the corporations out of polities and a convention today of dele gates would not be composed of men who bad ridden on railroad passes, but who had come direct from the and pald their own wa they were _enough inter the old result days those men people showing that sted to do so Cltes an 1 might call attention to a state plat- form convention, which was held not so MANY Yyears ago he continued, “in which the sentiment was very strongly for two of the three that time for governor conceded after the ecandidates out at It was generally convention was over that a certain one of those two would have been nominated, because he would more closely fit into the place just at| that time, Yet a short time after when the primary was held the candidate, who would have stood no show whatever in the convention was nominated and after. wards defeated at the regular ele Another thing 1 like about the vention idea is that after a fight tect had in a convention in an end ho tion. con- has werally th manner, as Is defeated platform winner.
