The state administration papers continue to point out that non-partisanship prevailed at the last state election. Precisely. And under the law as it was 1914 and for many years before.

Then why must we repeal those laws to get what we already have? Why is it necessary to eliminate national parties to secure nonpartisanship in state affairs when it is daily pointed out that without any such legislation we have non-partisanship? If elimination of party is a good thing in state affairs, why we have the testimony of the b. m. press that the millennium is already here. Then in the name of common sense why shall we go further to destroy national parties? The Progressive press might answer but it will Californian.
