The Direct Primary (Classic Reprint): With Special Reference to the State of Maine: With Special Reference to the State of Maine (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book examines and compares the direct primary system of nominating political candidates with the former convention system. Analyzing its historical implementation in the state of Maine, the book explores whether the primary process has given undue advantage to city candidates, how it has affected the number and quality of candidates, and if the direct primary has brought about majority nominations of candidates. The author concludes that although the direct primary has not eliminated all issues or shortcomings in political candidate nomination, it has not been a failure. The direct primary has reduced political bossism, corruption, and has made political parties more democratic. Ultimately, the book argues, the direct primary's advantages outweigh its disadvantages, making it a crucial element of modern American elections.
