AN HONORABLE ADMISSION

The Boston Herald got badly sold in
dispatch from Lake Champlain re-
Gently. All over the country it was ac-
cepted as authentic and published.
Now it turns out to be a wretched
fake.
We like the spirit with which the
Herald accepts the situation. 1t is an
example to all newspapers who have
inadvertently published falsehood.
The st. Adams Messenger jeers at
the Boston Herald story about the re-
covery of 10000 English sovereigns
from a sunken hulk in Lake Cham
plain. 1t has been investigating. Not
a single English sovereign found at the
bottom of Lake Champaign" it says,
lis or ever has been stored in the
Allen National Bank at Fair Haven
by George B. West or anybody else.
The Messenger has a right to jeer,
and the Boston Herald bows its head
in humiliation. There is nothing for
which the Herald has mere utter de-
testation than it has for fake" news.
Tine Herald had no reason for believ-
ing under the circumstances, that it
was being fooled, but it frankly con-
fesses that it was fooled. Its cores
pondent was fooled. And that is why
the Herald is not yellow this morning
but green.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER e, 1901
1AE SLAIN ON OUR RECORD

Worcester and Worcester County
are honored by the nomination of Her
bert Parker for attorney general by
the Republican party of the old Bay
State and without doubt the eloquent
Lancaster attorney will be the success
sor of Hosea NJ. Knowlton.
Mr.. Parker won the fight at the con-
vention because he was recognized by
the members Of his party as the better
candidate of the two, the more able
lawyer. the man who could best be in
trusted with the duties of attorney
general of the state. Lawyers all over
the state recognized in Mr.. Parker one
of the brightest members of their pro-
fession, and they rallied to his sup
port. It was the recognized superior
merits of the Worcester County candi-
date which secured his nomination.
Had the two men been of equal ability,
or nearly so, Mr.. Parker would never
have been the choice of his party.
Michael j. Murray, in placing in
nomination the name of Robert o.
Harris of Bridgewater, fired one hot
shot which went straight to the mark
and cost Mr.. Parker at least rs votes.
He referred to the fact that Worces-
ter could no longer elect a Republican
mayor nor send Republican Repre-
sentative to Washington. Worcester, -
he said, must prove she is not Demo-
cratic before asking favors at a Re
publican State Convention"
Mr. Murray is right, for the city
which at the last Presidential election
road up a plurality of 1000 for McKin-
ley, which shows a larger per cent of
Republican votes than any other city
of it's size in the country, one brief
month later was unable to elect a Re
publican mayor, and turned down Hon.
Charles G. Washburn, one of the clean
est Republicans who ever ran for the
office of Representative in Congress
anywhere.
There is food for reflection in these
convention thoughts. 1t is hign
time that Republicans of Worcester
and Worcester County began to realize
that petty jealousies must be cast aside,
that personal ambitions must be sacrl-
feed, and that to reclaim the city and
district to the column where it belongs
by right, united work must be done
prejudices forgotten.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-10-06

urged here is that without caucuses
there will be so many candidates as to
confuse the voters and make inferior
selections possible. Inquiry did not
lead me to think that such was the
outcome in Minneapolis. There were,
to be sure, a good many names on the
ballots, but the people, left to their
own devices, seldom failed to pick out
the best men.
Some critics have foreseen a diff
Guilty in the matter of choosing poltti-
cal committees if nominating is to be
done by voting in precincts instead of
wards The Minneapolis remedy is
simple and fair Each precinct names
a precinct committee of five, like any
other nominees. Each PRECINCT commit
tee chooses a chairman; the precinct
chairmen make up the ward commit
tee, and in turn choose a chairman;
the ward chairmen make up the exec
utive committee, and in turn choose
their chairman, who conducts the
campaign. He is the only man who
need not have carried his precinct eau
Gus; that is, only in this last selection
can members go outside their own
number.
LAS it worked out a good many old
time political workers could not carry
their own precincts, and it looked as if
far as official connection with the cam
paign went. But they formed an adj
visory committee and enjoyed them
selves. That may have been in st.
Paul though, not Minneapolis am
not sure. Anyhow, the plan put the
campaign in the hands of the men the
people wanted to run it, and would
seem about as likely to prevent the
formation or continuance of a ring as
anything that human ingenuity can
devise.
I'm fact the whole spirit of Mime
sofa political machinery today struck
me as coming nearer to letting the
people control their own affairs than
anything of which I learn elsewhere.
In the very next state Wisconsin, they
elected a governor who ran on pri-
mary election platform, and then the
ring prevented him from getting the
law to which his party stood pledged
by its platform. I went to Madison to
ask him how it happened and what
might be the chances yet for primary
election reform in Wisconsin, but he
was sick and I could not see him.
"In Michigan an experiment like that
in Minneapolis was last spring made
at Grand Rapids, and was a notable
success. It seems to me incredible
that Massachusetts should long refrain
from profiting by these examples

PRIMARY ELECTIONS Fer
NOMINATIONS

Representative Robert Luce of SOM
erville made a trip recently to Mime
sofa to study the system Of primary
elections there. This method abolishes
the present Anticipated caucus methods
and gives to every voter an equal and
fair opportunity of expressing his polit-
ical preferences in advance of the
election. While not destroying parti-
sanship it gives every voter an equal
and untrammeled opportunity tc take
part in the selection of candidates.
The new Minnesota law provides:-
THE Minnesota law provides that
seven weeks before an election all the
voters Of all parties who care to take
part in the selection of candidates
shall do so by means of the same ma
chinery used on election day itself. The
polls are opened, in charge of the usual
election officials, and are kept open
from morning to night, in fact into
the night, for in this regard the pro-
cedure differs from that of an ordinary
election and the voting proceeds until
9 p. m.
Twenty days before this all candi-
dates for nomination must have filed
affidavits with the secretary of state If
one county, or with the county auditor
II their districts are a county or less.
An affidavit filed with the secretary
Of state must be accompanied by a fee
of $20-with the county auditor by one
of s10-a method of paying part of cleo
ton expenses that we in Massachu-
sets might consider. Presumably it is
expected that this will suffice TO pre-
vent the more irresponsible candidates..
Anyhow the original plan for having
candidates. Endorsed by a certain num-
Der Of signers, as we do in the case
Of nomination papers. was abandoned
when the law was extended to cover
the state. and now any man who wants
his name on the preliminary ballots
can have It put there by payment of
the fee"
This Is taking a step in advance of
the present Boston caucus act with
the only primary low system now in
vogue in Massachusetts,. While that
act gives a vast Improvement over the
caucus methods from the viewpoint Of
the ordinary voter. who has no selfish
interests at stake. the Minnesota
method seems better.
Representative Luce discusses at
length the merits OF the law, and is de-
oidedly IN favor Of It. Here are some
Of his observations on the law

In reading in The Spy that Milford,
Hopedale, Westboro, Upton, and proba-
bly, other towns were not notified OF
the county and councillor conventions.
and of the feeling engendered in those
towns in consequence, 1 will say that
Petersham is another town which re-
ceived no notice whatever of either Of
these meetings l was chosen the del
egate to county convention from this
town and was very DESTROYS of attend
ing. Our town committee received
no call, and I was surprised to read in
The Spy Thursday that the convention

the small towns are not considered of

The assassination is evidently regard

There is complaint of the slowness of

The Corrections" which the log Of

ironic comment on the assumption Of
the naval man that his word is much

could hardly conceal his contempt for
the opinion of any other than a naval
man, even as to the admitted facts of
a given situation. Admiral Dewey. the

like a sneer at the special correspon-

stand the test better than the official

An enterprising young woman who
has just begun to work as bookkeep-
er in a junk and metal establishment,
has gotten mania for selling old iron
and such stuff, so that nothing in that
line is safe that comes in her way She
has attempted to strike several bar
gains for old stoves that have been
in her family for some years but are
still in good condition. The price she
offers is so low that she has not been
able to effect 81 purchase. Yesterday
she discovered two iron posts standing
apparently useless in the yard of the
shop and she proceeded to try to sell
them to a chance visitor. When the
deal was well under way her employer
happened along and was just in time
to prevent the digging up and carry
ing off of the posts which he had
taken great pains to secure and had
placed in the yard to prevent heavy
wagons from destroying the gate at
the entrance. He now admires the zeal
of his bookkeeper more than her dis
erection.
