DISHONEST PR1MARrEs.

In free government like ours po-
iitical parties are necessity and the
primary elections for those parties
should be- free from the least suspicion
Of bribery. dishonesty, or unfairness.
When the primaries are fair then can
the defeated candidates turn in and

their successful competitors but not
otherwise. But more than that is the
fact that dishonest primaries viii ulti-

ON FIRST BALLOT.

The Republican National Conven'
tion at St. Louis on Thursday nomina.
ted on the first ballot William McKin.
ley, Of Ohio, for President and Garret
A. Hobart, OF New Jersey, for Vice
President. It was the third day Of
great Convention. The first was taken
up in preliminary organization. Chas,
w. Fairbanks Of Indiana being made
temporary chairman, and the usua
committees were appointed and pre-.
liminary work was done. The commit
tees on platform and credentials had
their time fully occupied, especially
the latter committee which accepted
the conclusions Of the National Com
mittee on all contests decided and gave
their time to Delaware and Texas.
Wednesday, the second day. q per-
manept organization was effected by
the election Of Senator Thurston, Of
Nebraska, as chairman, ard the con-
sideration of the report Of the commit
tee on credentials. The anti-Addicks
delegates were seated from Delaware,
though Addicks had the aid and SYM
pathy Of Bosses Quay Of Pennsylvania,
PIatt Of New York, and wellington of
Maryland, the latter saying, "Addicks
helped us, and we voted for him."
The first vote in the convention
came upon the turning down of Ad-
dicks and was 1854 to 329a.
On Thursday morning the commit
tee on resolutions reported and every
thing was plain sailing until the finan-
cial plank was reached when the sill
yer men made their protests against
the sound money report of the major
ity. Senator Teller made strong and
pathetic appeal from his point of view
but he was voted down by 1924 to 110a.
He and his colleagues withdrew from
the convention. Among the boilers
were United States Senators Teller of
Colorado, Dubois Of Idaho. Cannon of
Utah, Pettigrew of South Dakota, and
probably Caster and Mantle, of Mon
tana. will 60 also.
Allison, Reed, Morton, Mckinley
and Qnay we're formally put in nomi-
nation as presidential candidates. The
vote was taken resulting in 6614 for
Mckinley, s44 for Reed, 61a for Quay,
IS for Morton, and 35a for Allison.
A dozen or more men were voted for
as candidates for the Vice Presidency
but Hobart was nominated on first
ballot receiving 533a votes to 277a for
II. Clay Evans, of Tennessee, and
about 100 votes scattered.
The result is perfectly satisfactory
and " as just what was expected. The
platform will be given in full next
week. Not even the Democrats can
assail its soundness on finance.
