MiNNESOTA'S PRIMARY LAW

h0 ldWsWhS teSIeu Tor the nrSt time
in making the city nominations in
Minneapolis last year and the results
were so satisfactory that it has been
extended SO as to apply to the entire
state. AID elective officers are includ-
eel in its operation except Judges of
the supreme court aud the heads of
the state executive departments.
Except for the purpose OF nom,nat-
ing candidates for these offices the
separate party primary and the party
convention will be abolished on Sept.
| next. Hereafter nominations for
all local, county, Legislative, congress-
ional and minor judicial offices will
be made directly by the people.
This radical reform was the result |
of general conviction that some
change in the method of making
nominations was needed. The sue
cess of law recognizing in this way
the right of the rank and file to have
3 voice in the selection of their party
candidates, isthe more remarkable as
the change was supported by no or
eanized or systematic agitation.
The popularity of the reform arises
from combinat;oh Of four factors.
The most important of these is the
direct primary sy stem and the popular
jealousy of political control by thefew.
The second factor is the failure of
attempts to reform the convention
system by the imposition of legal re-
straints, excellent so far as they went,
but inadequate. The third factor is
the test Of the system. in Minneapolis.
which proved the practieability of the
plan and revealed the eagerness of
the rank and file to participate in
making nominations. The fourth fac.
tor is the improvement in political
conditions and in administration.
which in theory, at least. will result
from the change.
The last consideration appealed
powerfully to an influential class OF
voters. Though few of this class re
gard the direct primary as panacea
they look for decided improvement
in the long run. They argue that
by throwing open to every candidate
the chance of getting a nomination
and by doing away with the necessity
for trucking to the professional wire
puller, self respecting men with an
ambition to serve the public disinter-
estedly will sooner or later get into
the habit of presenting themselves
for office and the force of their char
acter and example will raise the
standard of character in politlcs.
The distinctive features of the law
are:
First-Common primaries TO srall
parties eoncurrently and under COM
pulsion.
Second-The combination of pri-
mary election day with one of the reg
istration days, which for the purpose
is set back seven weeks before cleo.
tion.
Third-Regular judges and clerks

clerks of the primary.
Fourth-The alienation of the
names OF the candidates on the tick.
cts to eliminate all advantages of posi-
tion.
Fifth-All the safeguards Of the
regular Australian election law SO far
as practicable.
To secure place on the primary
ticket the candidate need only file
with the county auditor an affidavit
that he is member of the party
whose nomination he seeks, and a
bona fide candidate for a specified
office. A fee of ten dollars for loc.
al or county nomination, and of $50

fused to do and the matter was

the return of the verdict by the clerk
OF the court, and the case having been
brought into the ~upreme court the
judges recommended that his sen.
tenee be committed by the governor to
ten years, as it would have been but
for the clerks error, anu Governor
Jenkins today announced that the
matter would be favorably acted up
on and Brady's time cut to ten years
with the opportunity to gain his citi

w. r. Little, chief of the force en-
ployed in classifying school lands in
the new country, found the body of a
horse that had starved to death after
having been tied to big cedar tree
The horse was still in It's harness and
attached to a good Buggy. The horse
had eaten every blade Of grass within
reach, and gnawed the bark from the
tree. II would seem that no person
could be guilty Of such wanton cruelty
without good cause, and the question
is might not the owner himself be
dead?
