12 FIGHT STARTS ON DIRECT PRIMARY Meeting of Opponents Authorizes Bill Drawn on the Beardsley Plan. WOULD MODIFY THE LAW Vigorous Denunciation Made by Three Former Indiana Governors at Session. Vigorous denunciation of the di i rect primary wn made by three former Governors of Indiana Thomas R. Marshall, James P. ri'i uwuiko mitu i iimetu a.

isurom and others at a meeting of opponents of the present law in the Falm room of the Clay pool hotel, Tuesday afternoon, exiled for the purpose of devising "ways and means' to bring about a modification of the law in its. present form. Following speeches by the three former Governors and Mrs. John W. Kern, widow of the former United States senator from Indiana, resolution was adopted favoring a plaa of revision of the present law a suggested by Andrew II.

Besrds ley and authorizing the appointment of a committer to draw a Mil along that line. The Beardsley plan would provide for the holding of city. rountjr, district and sta conventions at which candidates for public office would be nominated. Dele rates to these convention would be chosen In a primary. Mr.

Bearde'ey then appointed Charles Martlndale. Glenn Van. Auk en. W. Spencer and Maurice Teanant aa members of the committee.

Mr. Hpeaeer and Mr. Ten rent are members of the state board of election commissioner, the latter being president of the board. Marshall's Address. Mr.

Marshall In his address said: have In my possession a certificate Issued tinder the hand of the Oovernor and the great seal of the state of South Dakota to the effect that Thomas R. Marshall, having received forty votes In the preferential presidential primary In the state of Mouth Dakota, was entitled to all the votes of South takota In the national Democratic 'convention. "Now If that waa not a farce I don't know what you. would call It. Forty people binding dele galea from a state to.

vote for a given man! have spent a. great deal of very good time In recent months In Instructing people of the United Mates In the Constitution of the United Htates. It has been time well spent, but unfortunately we have not spent any time In teaching the people of the United Htates what the principles were that led to the formation of the Constitution. And It Is because I believe that this referential primary. If It continues exist, will wipe out of existence the very prlnrlrlea upon which the American republic la founded, that I am opposed to It.

"I know I am "bid. that I am not up to date. I not a progressive end I don't want to be one. because I don I know where they get. All I know Is they get licked whenever they start out on any course of corr durt.

"Now they say that the local self government made the bosses.

Well, do you think you have got rid of the bosses? If you can find a bigger boss In America than the so called progressive I wish you would give me nls photograph. I have never been for the boss. Nobody ever accused mo of being one. I wasn't1 big enough, and nobody. I think, dared accuse me of having been bossed by anybody my wife not being present on this auspicious occasion.

I am not for the boas and never have been for Mm. but there is no more reason why the people can not get together and talk over their problems and elect their delegates and do their business and upset a boss than anything in the world. "I went over here to the last primary and I had a ticket about the else of The Indianapolis News to vote. I looked it over and knew four people In that whole list, and I voted for them all. and none of them were nominated that I know of.

and If they had been nominated they would have been beaten, anyway, so It makes no difference. Tou are not doing what the founders of the government intended. What you are doing Is looking after your own affairs, and when affairs got beyond looking after, the fathers of our republic did not say that you are to have a pure democracy and that everybody was to manage and control the affairs of Indiana and of the nation. Your fathers said you should have a representative government, that you should elect the men and yoa believe to be wisest and best and most reliable to take charge of your affairs for you and to do what waa right for you In the af fell falra which you could not look after yourselves. Matter a Respewslfelllty.

That Is not the primary. Then again, this primary la In violation. In my judgment, of the principles of the American republic, because in our theory of government somebody ought to. be responsible for everything that takes place; somebody ought to be. Who Is responsible for the man who is nominated in the primary? Not you not I.

"The Australian ballot is bad enough ao far as our Institutions are concerned, without adding to it this preferential primary. For I hold that that man has not risen to the high dignity of an American cltlxen who will not have the cour age to warn up to id Danoi oox and announce the name of the man for whom he is voting. That' la my view of it. and If you would atlffen the backbone of the American people and would not let them hide behind the primaries and Australian ballot list and would make every man walk to the election booth and say for whom he voted, you would have a far. far better government in America than you have now.

"James Bryce waa about as good a friend aa America ever naa ana about the most able student of de m'ocrary the world has ever had. and James Bryce has said that in the course of twenty seven years In the British parliament, he observed that the men who voted against their party on the theory that their conaclencea would not permit them to do so. were far oftener wrong than right.

"I am not making a fight here on the primary but for party government; and I am In hopes if we can get some Democrats back Into the party and atlck with the party, we can give you Republicans a wrestle again.

Physicians everywhere lecoraraend it. lteves bound form." that Ita weal and woe Is up In the representative Views of Geodrter.

Mr. Goodrich In opening his talk said Mr. Marshall had so completely expressed his views on the subject that there waa little or nothing he could add to It. "I waa glad to have him say he believed In party government," he said. "I believe In It myself.

I believe In the party being responsible, and the primary is destructive of party responsibility to the fullest extent. "I believe, if you please. In parties getting together in their own machinery and adopting a act of platforma and nominating candidates and not letting them nominate them in their own way. But if they are to nominate under the primary, then the primary should be held under the law. However.

In Randolph county and half the counties of the state. 75 per cent, of the counties' nominations Is equivalent to an election. The minority party ought never to be obliged to go Into the primary for the purpose of se lecting candidates for local offices elected have not, or if the candidates nominated do not measure up. then the people have that chance at them on election day. and that is of this state, tryisg to give them some reason for voting for me at the primary, and when I got through I was thoroughly disgusted with the result.

I think the same result would have happened in convention that happened In the THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS, WEDNESDAY, A NIT All 7. 1025. primary. Hut I made a mistake. I wrote to the thirteen membera of the congress, the two United Htates Senators.

telling them what I thought of doing. And every single One of them without exception, wrote back and protested against any interference with the statewide primary of the district primary. And why? Not from any sound political reaaon, but for selfish reasons. Every single one of them believed he could hold his Job better under the primary than under the old convention system. There Is no question about it.

As a result of that I did not make that recommendation. "Why Is It that there has been a distinct deterioration In the character of men In public life today? Look at the representatives In the congress, and look at the character of the men that lead the house, the United States senator, and compare with the men of twenty or thirty years ago and that Is not a reflection on the character of men at present perhaps they have been the best sort of men that offer themselves at the primaries, but men who ought to be drafted into public service, men who ought to be willing to give their lives to the public service, are not coming out an the statewide and district pri The surest check to the majority is mary and appealing to the voters to permit a minority party down and caucus. If you plei to sit ase. and deliberately select the very best man they have in tie different parts of the county or district or state and place those candidates before the people. "Then if the party en if the party in power has betrayed its trust, if the candidates nominateed have not discharged their duty or if the candidates because they are exposed to all sorts or demagogic attacks.

"Another danger of the primary: When a man is nominated In his party convention, standing on the platform adopted, the people know exactly where he stands. They know the things he will support. He is true to his party. That Is not true of the primary. In our state we have no provision whatever for the announcement of principles by candidates, nothing to bind them to the party platform we adopt, but it is adopted after he is nominated, and the surest check you can have not before, and he can stand on it against any party organisation or any party in power.

"There is no responsibility in the primary. Iolc at the American congress today and what do you see? Men who have been elected under the Republican and under the Democratic emblem voting as they please and saying they are responsible to the people. And they say. the Republican party, or the Democraticparty has nothing to do with me." We had a man nominated for Vice President on the Democratic ticket out openly supporting a candidate of the third party. We had men masquerading as Republicans down in the senate and house out supporting Mr.

La Follette for President of the United States, and In our own state you have men. candidates for high offices, saying. 'Well, we are responsible alone to the people, the party did not place us before the people, we were not nominated by the party, we were selected by the "ReaponafblUty to the people means responsibility to no one. Ours la a government by political partlea and men ought to be held responsible to the party. 5cver for Primary.

"Now I never was for the primary. I wasn't for It when it was adopted. In 1917. the first session of the general assembly that year, I thought one of the first things I would do would be to recommend the repeal of the state wide pri mary. I bad bad about enough or it.

It waa satisfactory so far aa the result was concerned, but I had traveled up and down the state of Indiana through the cold and snow nd rain, appealing to the voters or run away from Jt, Just as he Pleases. Prtxaaie Exsesilve. "Then again the primaries are expensive. I know that is so. I am willing to admit It, and I will say this.

That I think I spent less money than any other man elected under the primary In Indiana. It was less than $10,000. But suppose a man has not the $40,000. Suppose be spends so much money that it may embarrass him financially and if he hasn't it he borrows It. But suppose he hasn't It.

How many candidates for high public position in the primary have received help In that primary when they were endeavoring to go out before the people and admit the names and amounts of the men who contributed to the campaign? I know it I am not guese ing at this. How many men, candidates for high, public office, hare received money under some agreement that they would stand for or against certain things, or they would stand for all kind of things? That danger is there and you can not avoid It, especially where men have not means to finance their own campaign and must in their necessity go out and appeal for help and receive It from others. Marshall told you his experience. I had a little knowledge of that ln Indianapolis. I voted here once, but never again.

There were more than 100 names on the ballot and I looked that over and I didn't know six. What did I do? I asked Charlie Jewett to tell me who waa the fellow In charge of that ward and I went to him and when I got through there wasn't half a dozen on there that I. knew. Did the people rule and exercise intelligence there? 1 didn't do anything of the kind. The difficulty of the men who stick to reform is that they endeavor to enact a law that will permit a man to go on NUMBER 102.

A little later Mr. Davidson was employed as a clerk in his father's grocery store, ana continued in in is I Tine of work until he entered De Pauw University. He took the pre legal course with the intention of practicing law.

The state of his mother's healthy following graduation, caused him to seek a position where he could be near home. He came to Indianapolis nnd became employed as a bill clerk for the M. O'Connor Company. Working his way up through the departments he acted as clerk, salesman, buyer, and Anally manager of the firm. He Is a vice president and member of the executive board of the National Wholesale Grocers' Asso cation, and a member of the state organisation of which he is ex president.

He also is a member of the Optimist Club of Indianapolis When Mr. Davidson was asked If he had any certain rules for attaining success, he said: "Interest In one's work and a willingness to apply one's self Is about the only rules 1 know. I have never had much use for the 'one job' man the fellow who gets through with his work, but is unwilling to give of his time to something else that needs to be done. And I also prefer the man who does not keep his eyes on the clock. If I had a son this would be the advise I would give to him keep busy.

Millions of cans of fruits, vegetables, preserves, condiments, anfl canned fish are distributed to retail grocers throughout Indiana, Ohio ana Illinois and the distribution at times even reaches Into Canada, Mr. Davidson explained.

ANTI PRIMARY RESOLUTION The text of the resolutions adopted at the anti primary meet ins; at the Clay pool hotel Tuesday afternoon follows: "The present primary law has resulted in a political chaos fa which men and women not previously affiliated with a party may offer themselves for nomination by the party and may vote in the primary election of such party, and in which a small minority of a party aided by persons not affiliated with it, may nominate the candidates of the party; "It has resulted in an alarming; weakening of party responsibility, and the formation in legislative assemblies of blocs and groups and powerful organized minorities inimical to the public welfare; It has resulted in such enormous expense to candidates for nomination that persons of moderate means can no longer make the necessary campaign without the temptation of sbli gating themselves to selfish interests, all of which results are contrary to the public welfare; "Be it therefore resolved. That this meeting go on record as favoring the amendment of the present primary law to the end that all candidates should be nominated by conventions, the delegates to which shall be chosen at a primary election, except in cases oi candKiates for local on ices, who snail be chosen at direct primary if a majority of the precinct committeemen of their party in that locality shall so elect; "And be it therefore further resolved.

That a committee be appointed to draft a bill to effect these ends, which shall be submitted to the Indiana general assembly. tending to business 314 days of the year and run politics against the man who spends J4 days a year in politics. "Look what is happening here In the city of Indianapolis. What has happened? Do you have an Intelligent choice in the city of Indianapolis in the selecting of candidates in the county primary? What chance has a man. no difference what his ability, ho difference what his capacity to All a public place, no difference how much he may be moved by a desire to render unselfish service to the public What chance has he in the city of Indianapolis if his name is not on the slate? He hasn't a chance In the world! "I don't know what Is Senator Beardsley's plan, but if It la a atep away from the state wide primary, back In the direction of responsible party government, the exercising of Intelligent choice by those representing the people as their delegates.

I am for It. I believe it will distinctly raise the standard of public life. I believe It will have a tendency to call back to the public service the kind of men who were willing to give their lives to the service of their country in the aays gone oy. Prepasraada Amoag Weaaen. Mrs.

Kern in her address said supporters of the primary system have spread among the women of Indiana propaganda to the effect that if the primary law were changed women would be disfranchised. The fallacy of that has been demonstrated, she said. "The only woman whose name appears on the state ticket in this election did not appear before the i people," she said. "She was not nominated at the primaries, she was nominated in a convention. If a woman Ls worthy, if she is capable.

If she Indorses the principle of her paryt, she could be nominated In the convention more easily than she could in the nrimariea. I think the primary system has disfranchised pMni "How women could go out in the primaries and run for the office of Governor under present conditions? How many women who might be capable have the resources? Doesn't that disfranchise her from running for the office? "And how many women could turn the keys on their Job and go out and spend months seeking an office In the primaries? Very few. I should think, could do it. My chil dren are all reared, but I don't feel I could turn the key in my home and go out end spend months and months seeking office.

In his brief talk, said: "We have had a very large stay at home vote which I have attributed to the disgust of the primary system. The better element of the voters would not go and vote, "Whenever It can be shown to me that under the present system you have got as good candidates or better candidates, then I will think well of the primary system, ilt Is the curse of the state of Indiana, the political curse.

Beardsley was chosen chairman of the meeting, and John W. Kern secretary. After Mr. Kern had read tne call of the meeting. Mr.

Beards ley explained that the meeting was nonpartisan movement bv the friends of democracy designed to remedy some of the evils of the present primary system. After the speeches of the three former Governors and Mrs. Kern. Mr. Spencer made a short talk In whlchr he told why he was opposed to the primary system.

He said the primary not only Is too expensive, but that there are so many candidates usually In the race for a nomination that the ballots become bungiesome and confusing. rranK At. btutesman, of I'eru. su that the resolutions changed so as to provide for a bill that would aborlsh the primary altogether. He said he favored a return to the old "town meetings." or caucuses.

Mr. Beardsley explained that It seemed to be tne (consensus tof opinion that the law be amended so as to provide for the election of I delegates to the state convention, and called for a vote on the original resolutions.
