Legalixe The Primaries.

F.. EDITORS OF The IEGIs Your leader of last
week. in reference TO LegaliZing the PrimaT V
Elections, ia Timely enc. Every safeguard to
insure fair primary election is of vital i'm
portance. Especially is this the case in Har-
ford county, where the Crawford County Sys-
tenn is SO Enthusiastically the choice of our people
i'll making nominations. Not only shou d
bribery. corruption and undue influence be
guarded against by preventive legislation
directly aimed at such practices, but to more eff
fectually preventit, the same mode of ballotiDg
that Is the secret ballot, or Australian system
as provided for at the general elections, should
be required by law. In fact every argument
shows that this mode, the gradual outgrowth
of experience and practice, is the most secure
one to obtain the untrammelcd expression of
the voter. No one would now venture to con-
denim II. or TO suggest u relapse into the old
method of voting, where the voter was subject
to every sort OF open and corrupt attack to in
fluence his vote. What reason, therefore can
be suggested why its benefi lent influences
should not be applied to our primary elections
under the Crawford Courty System. Let euery
precision (and nearly oil, If not every means ap-
olicable) of our general election law be applied
by the next Legislature to our Democratic
primaries, and the result will be that the voter
can cast his ballot for the candidate of his
choice, without the annoyance of intimidation,
or attempted intimidation, whether by bribery,
threats or what not, aud the seif-espect and
comfort of the voter is assured, at the same
time that he freely exercises his right of choice
as to the candidates.

make the greatest promises, and the one who

would not support him..
At our last election the order was reversed.

were q few so-called Democrats, men who have

LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAh NO. 1881
81 am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years had female troubles
and did nothing for them. Of course
I became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.
Il underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to 60 back to work. went back,
but in less than week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, I de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone 1 felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.
"The first remark that greets me
now is How much better you lookr and
you may be sure never hesitate to tell
the cause of my health. MRS. E. ].
