* * * * * It is easy now to see the pernicious influence which your doctrine aboutthe sovereign rights of individuals must have upon the unreflectingmasses who accept it as sound sense, and particularly upon those of themwho vote at the primary elections. In the first place, it generates a false and practically mischievousnotion of their relation to the other constituted authorities of thestate. You are yourself an example in point. You ask whether it is a mistake or an exaggeration in you ...to 'say thatpresidents, and governors, and all the departments of State or Federalmachinery, are all subordinate to the people?' It is certainly neither a mistake nor an exaggeration to say so, provided by the people you understand the whole people, in theirsovereign capacity as one body politic. But it is an egregious mistake, an absurd and mischievous falsehood, to say so, if by the people beunderstood those who vote in the primary elections--whether theconcurring majority of them or all of them.
