Want the Convention Back.

When the Minnesota primary cleo
tion law was passed it had the support
OF practically all the influential news
papers in the state. The primary
principle was popular, and Minnesot-
ans were eager to test it in practice.
Today, so far as the Journals obser-
walton has gone, there is not single
Minnesota newspaper of influence that
is not urging the repeal or modi6ca-
tion of the primary law. The burden
of opinion seems to be in favor of rad
ical modification. What the Mime
sotans wanted to do was to get rid of
the evils OF packed caucuses and ma
chine manipulated conventions. The
best they seem to have been able to
do was to get rid of the caucuses and
conventions, replacing them with a
system for making direct nominations,
attended with many vexatious restric-
tions interfering with the individual
liberty of the voter.
The intelligent voters of Minnesota
want the convention back, and it is
safe to predict that they will get it in
one way or another. If the present
law remains in effect it would seem
inevitable that the party will be driven
to some sort of informal convention, in
advance of the primaries, which may
adopt party program to be submitted
for endorsement at the regular primar-
| les. The logic of the situation, how
ever, would seem to call for the re-
peal of that portion of the primary
law which carries the system beyond
the election of delegates to the county
convention. With q simple plan for
the registration of voters and the Sc
lection of delegates at primaries the
evils of the packed or manipulated
caucus would be done away with, so
far as possible by any plan, and the
party representatives selected left free
to carry out the remainder of the task
OF nominating and platform making at
a regular convention.
| If representative form of govern
ment is good enough for the nation,
state. county and municipality, it
ought to be good enough for the polit-
ical party.-Sioux City journal.

made. The track is in excellent cOndi-

the fair this year will be bigger than

ranged for street carnival each eve
ming of the fair, for which three excel
lent attractions have been engaged.

wart wing of the party were opposed
to tax reform as we'll as to the primary

reform, and many of them are in
favor of a primary election bill-but
not the bill that Gov. La Toilette tried
to force through the legislature. If a
satisfactory primary election law is

of many Republicans, but we very

will satisfy a majority of Republicans

lican Congressional Committee has nev.
er published table by States during
the five campaigns that have been
connected with it,. 1t is impossible at
this time to even predict, by districts,
with any degree of accuracy, what the
result may be, for the reason that
only about one-half of ohe nominations
has been made, and but few of the
State orCongressional committees have
as yet been organized, and local con-
ditions are such in many places where
the nominations have not been made
that it would be folly to predict what
the result might be in those districts.
The Republican Congressional Com
mittee will publish 90 tables during the
campaign, but at as early date as
possible, when the campaign has
progressed sufficiently to enable us to
secure reliable information, we shall
give the public the benefit of it.
Il believe the Republican Party
will succeed and elect a majority of
the next House; but we must not forget
that since General Grants first term in
off-years. the republicans have succeed
ed but once in electing Congress in
harmony with the administration, and
that was in 1898.
"The general state of prosperity is
such that the people are busy, and
having confidence in the Republican
Administration, take it for granted
that the Fifty-eighth Congress will be
republican, and overlook the fact
that there are about one hundred
southern districts solidly democratic,
in which experience has taught us the
futility OF attempting to make a cam
paign and in many of which republi-
can voters are either disfranchised or
free ballot and fair count denied,
so that we must-win 70 per cent of the
debatable districts in order to secure
a bare majority of the Fifty-eighth
Congress, and must carry Is per cent
of the debatable districts in order to
have safe working majority.
Il do not believe that the public
should be misled. and want especially
to call attention to the fact that the
tables that have been published are
misleading, and that the Committee is
not responsible for their publication. :"

Let us examine the matter calmly
and dispassionately. Senator Spooner
with splendid record comes back for
reelection. He is confronted with a
platform which demands that he shall
subscribe to certain measures or he
be set aside. This is a strange way to
recognize his ability. The measures
are purely local. A senator deals in
national affairs. He does not have to
deal in state matters. The situation
is ludicrous in the extreme.-Eau Clair
