Editors Dispatch There will be an im-
portant election i'm Richmond next May
another next fall. At the latter Mr.. Bey-
eridge will again be on hand with ms tax
receipts-that IL, unless proper action is
taken to test bis right TO issue them. A test
case should be made mp and tried nOc. To
postpone the matter is 10 run it over into
the heat OF another campaign. III it is
unlawful for Beveridge TO issue his receipts
he should be stopped. Ii, on the other
hand, it is lawful, our people ought TO be
informed and forewarned.
Another matter: Our people during the
next six months should consider seriously
whether nominations by primary elections
can longer be relied upon to secure the
very best material for party candidates
Having been for years a warm friend OF
primary elections, | say this, convinced
now that primary elections are not what we
need. | do not want TO thrust you un-
timely into another canvass, but believe
that this subject must be considered now,
or il will not lie considered at all. Once
let the municipal campaign open with this
question undecided, and it will be impossi-
bic for the majority OF voters TO come to II
conclusion not biassed by preference for
that plan best calculated 10 secure the NOM
ination OF this or that aspirant.
