These primary elections are very
important. They are the sources from
which emanate either good or bad
government. Too often is it the case
that large portion of tho business
men OF the party, pressed with bust
ness engagements, do not think the
primaries OF sufficient Importance to
attend them. These men have a mis-
taken view of such elections. They
are the elections that give standing
and character to the ticket because al
them are selected the candidates who
go upon the ticket.
We often hear people say, well
