Marty Cohen Quotes
One Continually Hears The Declaration That The Direct Primary [for Legislative Offices] Will Take Power From The Politicians And Give It To The People. This Is Pure Nonsense. Politics Has Been, Is, And Always Will Be Carried On By Politicians, Just As Art Is Carried On By Artists, Engineering By Engineers, Business By Businessmen. All That The Direct Primary, Or Any Other Political Reform, Can Do Is Affect The Character Of The Politicians By Altering The Conditions That Govern Political Activity, Thus Determining Its Extent And Quality. The Direct Primary May Take Advantage And Opportunity From One Set Of Politicians And Confer Them Upon Another Set, But Politicians There Will Always Be So Long As There Is Politics. (Cited In Key 1965, 394-95)
