California Primary Greatest In Nation

By LYLE C. WILSON I’nited Press International Upward of a dozen presidential primaries still are to come and the greatest of these takes place June 2 in California. T he Republican who can win the California primary decisively probably can be nominated for President. It is almost as simple as that, but not quite. Fifteen states and the District 'of Columbia authorize presidential primaries. All are booby trapped. The least of them can be deadly. The presidential primary system more often eliminates contestants than it designates winners. Sometimes a primary does a bit of both. The beginning of the end of Sen. Robert A. Taffs White House dream came in New Hampshire's March. 1952. presidential primary. Gep. Dwight D. Eisenhower, a reluctant and uncertain candidate, won all 14 New Hampshire delegates to the Republican National Convention. Ike took 46.000 popular votes to Taffs 35.000. Wisconsin’s presidential primary in Aoril, 1944, blasted Wendell L. Willkie entirely out of the contest for a Republican p r e s i dential ’ re-nomination.

Wilkie was a bad last in a field of four in Wisconsin after a good New Hampshire beginning. He had been the 1940 Republican nominee. Dewey Late Winner Harold E. Stassen made a good start toward the 1948 Republican presidential nomination, a prize ballyhooed as practically assuring election to the presidency. The Republicans could have lost in 1948 only by conducting an unbelieveably inept and superficial campaign, which they finally did. Stassen showed well in New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Nebraska. Pennsylvania, aid Ohio. Diomas E. Dewey knocked Stassen clear out of the contest in the Oregon presidential primary. Dewey went on to lose the election to Harry Truman. The primary system of indicating a preference for individuals seeking national and local office was established in 1903 by the late Robert M. LaFollette Sr., then governor of Wisconsin. He caused the Wisconsin Legislature to enact the first state-wide direct primary la\v. The primary system responded to popular demand for elimination of the existing

evils of nomination by party conventions or, as strikingly phrased by the late Raymond Clapper, nomination in a smoke-filled room. Abolish Presidential Primaries Such nominations frequently were corruptly obtained and often picked not he best but often picked not the best but Most states now nominate for state and loqpl office by primaries.

the District of Columbia provide for presidential primaries. The public enjoys the primaries. They are colorful and interesting. But they add nothing to the efficiency of the American system of government. Politicians and public alike probably would be better served if presidential, primaries were abolished. Files As Candidate For Party Delegate Charles R. Graves, route 1, Decatur, resident, has filed a declaration of candidacy for delegate to the Democratic state convention from district 2. Graves previously filed for the Democratic nomination for precinct committeeman from West Root.

Discuss Future Plans The board discussed the need to start work on plans for future school program development, since in the next school year certain courses must be taught as well as offered, end classes must be maintained even if only a few students want them. Also, the board discussed other types of courses, not now offered, that should be offered. One board member, Clarence Bultemeier, was unable to be present, and the board deferred making any formal discussion or decisions until the full board could attend and take part.
