ILE uni is still time, a new bill proposing nonpartisanship—and nothing else—should be initiated and filed. It should be done at once. The present nonpartisanship bill —so-called—clutters up and confuses the issues. It is more than a non- partisanship bill—AND IT SHOULD NOT BE. It is a presidential primary bill. It provides for a modified system of preferential voting. It brings up new questions of controlling corrupt prac- tices. It does all these things in addi- tion to providing nonpartisanship. These things may be fine. The point is, however, that THEY DO NOT BEAR EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ON THE PRIN- CIPLE OF NONPARTISANSHIP. They raise other questions, other arguments, other disputes, other de- bates. They tend to draw attention away from the question that should be the only one—namely, nonpartisan- THE PRINCIPLE OF NON.
