In expressing our views in favor Of =
primary election we hsd no desire TO
STIR up 8 NEWSPAPER controversy. We
desire to let the people know that there
is some opposition to the primary
election, and when the people are on
their guard they always do the right
thing. We believe It is easier to stock
a convection than to corrupt primaries
in the various precincts. We have
seen men nominated to township
Offices, by conventions held in the
courthouse, when the nominees were
not the choice OF The people Of the
township, nor even Of the convention
that nominated them. Some man with
a big buster would push the nomina-
ton, and other persons would moi
desire to have q wrangle over the msI'
ter, and would let the nominations &C
through. In s primary election every
man can vote for his choice, and every
man has a right to challenge the vote
of unworthy voters. We believe :
primary election will express tbe vii
of the voters of the county, and that il
is abeui the only way to get such 81
expression.
The weekly intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1891-1901, 1899-06-24
Will Open On Time

1t is very likely that the period has
been reached where there are no longer
any doubts entertained that there is to
be a Greater America Exposition.
Even those with whom the wish was
farther to the thought can hardly
longer give utterance to their doleful
misgiVings. They are not only con-
WINGED that there is going to be an
Exposition this year at Omaha, but that
1t is going to open July !, on time to
the hour and the minute, and are
forced to acknowledge that it is being
prepared and built IN a scale Of magni-
iicence that has won confidence for the
project in spite Of the widely concerted
opposition. 1t is gratifying TO note
that the opposition has practically van.
ished. The railways, upon which much
Of the success Of the enterprise depend
ed, have sllenced the prediction that
they would prove unfriendly and have
shown their favor for the enterprise by
granting a much better rate for the
opening events than was secured during
tue early stages Of the Trans-M ississ.
ippi. Even Omaha jobbers, realizing
the uselessness Of further opposition,
have recognized that the Exposition IA
destined 10 be an overwhelming success
and have concluded TO render 1t every
assistance.
