AS to the Primaries.

EDITOR CITIZEN knowing that a
free discussion through the columns of
the press in regard to the Republic an
Primary of 1899 would lead TO bett er
understanding as to whether another
mid-winter primary is desired or not, l
write these few lines in order to set
those interested thinking.
There seems to be desire on the part
of some to force another mid-winter
canvass as in SO, while those who passed
through that canvass do not care to re-
peat it.
Until 1896 it was very rare thing to
have primary until May or June, and
why so early now?
Those who favor an early primary say
that larger turnout can be had when
held early, now that may be true in re-
gard to Butler and other boroughs vote
but the country voters will not turn out
as well when the roads are at their
worst as in the early primary.
Some say that the candidates who
live in or near Butler nearly every day
have an opportunity of meetin g
many of the voters OF the county and
placing their case before them, while
those who live in the country and can
not be in Butler every Saturday and on
every day during court and on every
other day that there is large crowd in
town cannot see the voters without
making thorough canvass, which is
impossible with an early canyass and
primary.
In justice to all, the primary of 1899
should be held at as late date as pos
sible, then no candidate can say that he
had not time to make a canvass, and
see every voter in the county if he so
desires.
Those interested should talk the mat
ter over and when the county commit
tee meets have date fixed that will ia
vor no one at the expense of another.
