In the forefront of the Slovene political life at the turn of 1926 and 1927 was the issue of self-government, which was being introduced in the largest, newly established administrative districts, in accordance with the provisions of Vidovdan Constitution, after more than a five year deferment caused by the centralists opposition. This issue also caused changes in the Government. The author highlights the position of the Slovene People's Party with regards to these autonomous districts which were due to their low competencies, far from the party's autonomist constitutional claims, and its attempt as a government party, to expand, as much as possible, the autonomy of Ljubljana and Maribor Districts and thus strengthen its political domination in Slovenia.

Na prelomu let 1926/1927 so po več kot petletnem odlaganju zaradi odpora centralistov uvedli samoupravo v največjih administrativnih enotah - oblasteh. Uveljavitev samouprave v skladu z določili vidovdanske ustave je bila takrat v ospredju političnega življenja v državi in je pomembno vplivala tudi na spremembe vlade. Avtor je osvetlil poglede Slovenske ljudske stranke na oblastne samouprave, ki so bile zaradi skromnih pristojnosti daleč od njenih avtonomističnih ustavnopravnih zahtev, in njeno odločitev, da bo kot vladna stranka poskušala čimbolj razširiti samoupravo ljubljanske in mariborske oblasti ter utrditi svojo dominacijo na Slovenskem.
