Washington's Political Development by Wesley L. Jones
Congressman Wesley L. Jones argues Washington voters should directly select candidates via primaries, not conventions. He cites trades in conventions, public dissatisfaction, and widespread adoption of direct primary laws as evidence that the old system fails to reflect the people's will. He trusts the shift will endure, noting many states have adopted primaries and that public opinion can correct abuses in government selection.
