P. and Triple Alliance Either the triple alliance is as poisonous an element in our political affairs as republican leaders at the Bellingham convention declared, or it is not. If it is, the republican state convention, as indeed the republican state legislature, failed miserably in achievement. For it failed to provide the remedy which would prevent a minority controlling any state or county election. Rica There IS such a remedy, but it will never be applied by any set of hypocrites who talk about patriotism and Jove of country, in theory, but refuse to sacrifice the slight- est atom of partisanship, in actual practice. If the republican leaders were sincere in their state- ments, there is no higher service that could be accomplished in this state, from a patriotic standpoint, than the defeat of the triple alliance, and the assurance of majority rule. were the republicans sincere? Bethe adopted oo plan to combat the thing that they de- nounced so utterly and bitterly. And, furthermore, they discussed only a makeshift plan, the “elimination” con- vention idea, which would have, in practice, elimitiated one. , mo rhe plan that would assure majority rule is nonpartisan | elections! And the republican leaders know it! In non- partisan elections, there is NEVER any danger of any mi- nority party winning. There MUST be a majority to con-| stitute an election. : | We have the nonpartisan plan in,our city elections. Mayor Caldwell was elected by a majority vote of the electors of Seattle, not by a minority. A minority succeeded in nomi- | nating a triple alliance candidate—but that was as far as} it went. The final election absolutely demanded a majority, and the minority party could therefore not succeed. s The same would result in the state. Under’the nonparti- san plan, the two candidates receiving the highest number | of votes would have to run it off in the final election. And) the majority of the ‘voters of the state would decide then— not a minority, not a handful of convention delegates, not backroom caucuses, not any dictatorship of ANY party. But the republican party leaders would not ever consider the nonpartisan plan. If they truly believed that the alliance threatens our American form of government, are guilty of nothing less than treason themselves | for failinx to accept the one remedy that is absolutely cer-| tain to guarantee majority rule. And if they are truty patriotic, it must be assumed, then, that what they said about the triple alliance, they did not really mean. The failure of the republican convention to take real! action against the triple alliance—action that would bring | results—means, a one of two things: ; 1, Either the ace ions made by republicans against) the triple alliance are false; or 2. The republican party is not sufficiently patriotic to| ‘ partisanship in the fight against the triple alliance. e Star is wholly in sympathy with any fight upon| minority rule; and The Star is just as opposed to minority by republicans or democrats as by the triple alliance. | is why ‘it supports—without reservation—the principle of nonpartisan elections. If the republican party In this state were as sincere in opposition to minority rule, it would not hesitate in asking the legislature to pass the necessary legislation that would put state elections on the same high plane as city elections. What the republican convention failed to do, Governor fiart can do. He can call the legislature in special rreee election suggestion, there will then be no occasion whatever for) fearing any minority gang, by whatever name it may parade. Without such a law, the facts are plain: With six regu- lar republican candidates and one triple alliance candidate in the republican primaries, the nomination of the triple alliance candidate by the republican primaries is not only possible, but highly probable! These are the facts, and only the republican ostrich will bury his head in the sand, and refuse to see them. A spe- cial session of the legislature is a drastic suggestion—but minority rule is far more drastic. * Yes, yes, of course we know the 14 Washington dele- gates were instructed for Poindexter.
