First Trial of the Direct Primary Critique and Proposals
An editorial argues the direct primary law is flawed and should be amended to remove ambiguities. It calls for clear paid advertisements by candidates and restricts newspaper endorsements for pay. It recommends making the second choice provision discretionary and notes broader reforms to curb manipulation and improve practicality.
