great havoc in New England,

case seems to have spread slowly

"A RESOLUTION was adopted at the
last county convention, urging all
subordinate clubs to rcorganizc at
once, and to notify the secretary of
the Executive Committee of the
fact. The county chairman desires
speedy response from tho clubs.

Primary Elections VS.. Cliques and
Rings.
Among othor objections raised
to the system of primary elections,
some persons claim that it will allow
cliques to control nominations. Now,
rs tho system has been adopted for
tho purpose Of smashing rings, it
could not too speedily be rejected, if
any such consequences would
ensue as aro claimed. The way in
which this dire result is to be effect
ed is said to be as follows: A ring
at tho courthouse will influence
certain loading men in each ncigh-
borhood, and these will control the
club elections. Of course those who
mako this objection claim to prefer
convention nominations as less Liable
to be controlled by a clique. How
any ono can argue that an election
which takes place in u dozen differ
ent precincts at once, and in which
every voter participates, can be
controlled moro easily than the
action of forty or fifty delegates
shut up in one room, nay, in tho
courthouse itsolf-thc very lions

cliques-is matter passing our conn.,
prehonsion. If there is way in

Tho primary system destroys tho
one-man power, instead Of pcrpetu-

On tho other hand, q convention
is place prominently tittod for tho
exercise of wiro~pulling and clique
control The influential mon of each
neighborhood can always secure an
election as delegates to n
convention. The contral clique can
work on these, and these, by their
influence, can control tho other
delegates. It is much easier to
manipulate body of fifty than of
fifteen hundred. Tho latter go to tho
primaries and deposit their votes to
suit themselves. The candidate Of
the party, not Of q clique, wins.
While many aro sincere in their
opinions, it will bo found that others
who oppose the primary system are
really at heart aspirants for Office,
who believe their chances are better
before convention than before tho
people.
