There was a notable absence Of the
picture of w. ]. Bryan in the conven-
tion hall last Saturday. A Democrat
ic leader is only good for four years
Democracy has r~epudiated the only
president il has elected in forty years.
To mention Cleveland's name in a
convention of Democrats now would
instantly cause a rough house and
cause one to sigh for the absent
treatment"

Again were the 'old wheel horses
and men of character and ability turn
ed down In the Democratic convention
when il came to naming delegates to

were lucky to be named as alternates,
while men who stand for the best in
terests OF the people and the party
looked with sadness and disgust upon
the party wreckers who had no other
ambition than personal gain.

Montana's contribution to the Nc
Kinley memorial fund amounts to
$2,34l.7l. The national committee

state done as well as Fergus the total
amount would have been nearly$lO,

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.

INV
In Minnesota the primary election
law is being given a pretty thorough
test and If it proves successful will
undoubtedly be accepted by other
states. The first trial in the gopher
state was certainly disappointing so
far rs the municipal election in Min
neapolis was concerned. for 1t foisted
upon the Republicans as their Domi-
nee for mayor, the notorious Doc.
Ames, a man who had affiliated with
the Democratic party of Minneapolis
ana Minnesota for twenty-five years.
Under the old primary and conven-
ton system Ames could not have Sc
cured the nomination. However, this
was an exceptional ease and notwith-
standing the success OF Ames the
press of that state, as a whole, thinks
favorably of the change.
The primary election is simply an
election for party nominations. 1t
takes the place of conventions which
formerly named the candidates. Now
the voters of the different parties
name the party nominees without the
help of mtddlemen. At the old pri-
mary or caucus delegates to the con.
ventions were elected Now the voter
casts his ballot directly for whom
ever he favors as a party candidate.
That candidate will be the candidate
before the primary who receives the
most votes. The method of procedure
is practically the same as at the final
election except that the voter asks for
a Republican or Democratic ticket.
according to his party Also the voter
is registered on the primary election
day. 1t might first seem that 1t put
the voters to a good deal of trouble
that of voting their party ticket twice
within a brief period of time, but IN
der the law the voter registers at the
primaries at the same time. and this
qualities him to vote at the general
election in November.
While this method does away with
the caucuses and conventions. eifmf
mating wire pulling and packing by
professional politicians. it does not
always insure peace Of mind to the
candidates. In several instances In
the recent primaries held in Mime
STA, candidates for congress had to
make a vigorous fight to get re-nomi-
mated. visiting every town and coun.

ia law will require I'M changing. as
Its defects are made known. but there
