WANTS a PRIMARY.

4 communication to the Free Press
last week, under the caption, 4" The
Democratic Situation" and signed
Bryan Democrat" attempts to die
tate to the democratic central com
mittee, called to meet next Saturday.
Bryan Democrat" wants a primary.
but instead of making an argument
for that system, showing wherein it
would be best for the party interests
to nominate it's candidates by that
method, he uses the weapons of the
demagogue, and says the Butler
Ring" whatever that is, wants a
convention, the "fxers and gold
bug democrats" are working to that
end, etc. Now, let US see what are
che facts: or the seven county officers
in the court house, four are for .
primary and three for convention.
The two democratic papers in Butler
are divided on the question; the CEN
trail committeeman from this town
ship favors q primary, and we might
add, the committeeman from Usage
township, the largest in the county,
favors a primary.
Now, we would like to ask Of this
"Bryan Democrat" if he is really a
democrat, why he went to the Free
Press, a middle of-the-road populist
paper, that villified Mr.. Bryan
throughout the campaign, and op-
poses everything democratic, to con-
troll our democratic central commit
tsef Possibly he is the same party
who ia sending marked copies of
the Rockville Reflex to the commit
tee with marked articles favoring
the primary system.
In truth the primary advocates
are getting in sorry straits when
they appeal to the Free Press to
champion their cause before a dem
ocratic body.
We stated our position On the
proposition of primary or convention
very clearly few weeks ago. We
are not opposed to the primary sys-
tenn of nominating candidates. FL
it is worth more to the
paper to have the party hold pri-
mary. But we believe that the best
interests of the party demands
this time.

To Contest Hanna's Seat.

Cleveland, o, Feb. 11-Mayo,
McKisson. acting upon the report OF
the Senate bribery investigating
committee, announces his intention
OF contesting the seat of United
States Senator III. A. Hanna.
Last evening he sent to the secre.
tary OF the United Ststes Senate
formal notice of his contest. He
bases his contest upon the allegation
that Hanna was not legally elected,
because he or his friends used lille
gitimate means to secure the neces
sary votes.
The fact that the mayor had taken
the step was kept quiet, but it leaked
out from an authoritative source.
The law prescribes that a contest
must be filed within thirty days
from the date of the election, and
the notice will therefore reach
Washington just in the nick of time.

principally upon that section of our

Is an involuntary tax, one which the
