Hon. Edward Stake, an associate

Zeigler, who excepted to the ratifica-

THE SENATORIAL PRIMARY,

| Mr.. Zachary, whose communication
on the Senatorial Primary has attract
ed much attention, is sincerely inter
ested in the success of the party, OF
is apprehensive lest the primary may
iniure the Democratic candidates for
Congress in the Eighth and Ninth dis
tricts. We think it will help and not
hurt.
If the Democratic candidates for
| Congress in these or any other dis
tricts are defeated in November it will
be by the stay-at-home vote. After
the exciting campaign of August, in
which all the local officers were
chosen, it may be difficult to get the
voters to the polls in November when
only electors and members of the
Federal House are to be voted for
The establishment OF a primary at
each voting precinct and the holding
of an election for Senator will large
y
something new, and besides sharp
contest between four strong men will
tend to get every Democratic voter to
the polls, SO that instead of the Sena-
torial primary hurting, it will be very
helpful in electing the candidates in
the Eighth and Ninth districts. Mr..
Crawford and the Democratic nOmi-
nee in the Eighth district ought to
welcome the primary and desire to sec
them as closely contested as possible.
The primary must be held. Proper
ly conducted it will be a source of
strength in doing the thing most
needed in this election, to-wit: Getting
out the vote. In 1894 the refusal to
grant a primary worked injury. If
the executive committee should Sc
riously consider annulling the pri-
mary, party anarchy would follow.
The only authority conferred on the
committee is to make arrangements,
in the absence of legalized primary
law, for holding the primary so that
the choice of the voters can be made
known. That done, the Democratic
voters will select the Senator just as
if they had the legal right to do so.
And when the sovereign people have
spoken, then mandate will be respect
ed And it will help the party more
than hurt it.
