Wv JE HAVE BEEN asked to
W. explain the requisites
to voting at Mondays
primaries under the
Crawford county system. Perhaps
the best answer is to reprint the
party rules. which we do elsewhere
on this page. 1t would be wise if
each Republican should clip out these
rules and put them in his pocket book
for ready reference in case of argu-
ment.
Rule II is the one which answers
the question that is most frequently
asked. That rule says: The persons
having a right to vote at the pri-
mary or nominating elections shall be
Republicans, who are or may be legal
ly qualified voters in the election pre-
clnCt at the next general election, and
who voted the Republican ticket at
the last preceding general election at
which they voted and were entitled
to vote, and shall include all Republic
cans who have come of age since last
election, and who may come of age
before the next election. No known
member Of any other than the Repub-
lican party shall be allowed to vote"
Rule II says: ANY person offering
his vote at q primary election may
be challenged by any one entitled to
vote at the same election. In case
any person is so challenged, the vigi-
lance committee shall not receive his
vote until he has established his right
to vote, according TO the above quail
fication, on oath or affirmation"
The meaning of the phrase "who
voted the Republican ticket at the
last preceding general election" has
not, to our knowledge, been judicially
passed upon. Whether "the Republic
can ticket means a straight ticket
or ticket partly cut is a point which
the exercise of common sense must
determine. That man, we should say
is a Republican who ordinarily and
in majority Of instances supports by
ballot a majority of the nominees or
the Republican ticket. Such a man
willing so to swear or affirmAif chal-
lenged, would seem to be entitled tc
vote at the Republican primary under
reasonable Interpretation of oui
county rules.

Their Scheme Recoiled.

pointment of a new dairy and
food commissioner. The man they rec
commended had no professional expert.
ence in that line of work and when the
governor asked his visitors how many
of them knew that men personally,
only two responded in the affirmative.
The position of the visitors, who had
come under factional inspiration for a
VIGOROUSLY factional purpose, was, says
the Lancaster New Era, made still
more embarrassing wnen the governor
produced a letter, written a year ago
by c. p. Faucet, the president of the
Pure Butter Protective association, and
who was the spokesman of Mondays
gathering, in which he strongly urged
the reappointment of Major Levi Wells
to be dairy and food commissioners 1t
was on this recommendation with an
evident desire to please the dairy in
terests directly affected, that the gov
ernor made the appointment, but when
Major Wells proved lax in his duty the
self-same interest turned on the gover-
nor and started to abuse him for an
appointment made at their own sug.
gestion and recommendation. Mr. Fau-
cett had evidently forgotten that he
had written the Wells letter and in his
| embarrassment over its production
could only say that he had been
fooled That he may have been, as
every honest man is liable to be, but
the honest man will credit others with
| the same motives that he claims for
| himself and will not permit himself to
be so blinded by factional political
| hatred as to be forced into an abso-
| lutely ridiculous position. The smart
| political fellows who conceived the
idea of the call on the governor. in the
| hope that it would prove embarrassing
| to the states chief executive, are evil
IDENTIFY of the opinion by this time that
their scheme badly mscarried. In the
meantime the farmers interested in the
great dairy industry, as well as the
people of the state at large, can rest
content that the governor will see that
the law is vigorously and impartially
enforced, regardless of whom it may
affect, and equally regardless of the
newspaper criticisms inspired wholly
by factional motives"
1t ought to be pretty well established a
by this time that William A. Stone is
a man who does not scare easily and
one whom the insurgent plotters can
not rattle.
