The necessity freedom of speecli and the pi sentation by the candidates Uwir^views, directly to the vot? withoutf having them tinged distorted or suppressed by dirt'c ent' newspapers will make t people unwilling to give up t present plan unless ''aomethi better" can be substituted for. You have stated the defects the preseijt system none t strongly, and there are oth? which rStcur to me which y have not mentioned ; for instant it was never Conceived possii; that a man would offer as h ca didate for high position simp because of vanity or his being crank, still less that om> ^ou enter such-a race with no hop of being elected, but finiply wii the view of defeating anoth' man.
