SIsnsrs Of Petition.

w. j. Donahowe assistant attor-
ney general, has ruled that voter
who participates in the nomination of
candidates of any political party at
the primary election, cannot sign the
petition of a man who desires to run
for Office as an independent candidate.
Mr.. Donahower holds that the fact
that the elector voted at the primary
election bars him putting his name on
the petition for the nomination of an
independent candidate. The primary
election law, he holds, gives every
elector the right TO take direct part in
the nomination of the candidates of
the party with which he affiliates.
If, however, a voter can vote at the
primary election, and also sign the
petition nominating a candidate to
run independent, he takes a direct
part in the nomination OF two candi-
dates for the same Office, which is in
consistent with the spirit OF the prim-
airy law. The act of signing the petit
lion would, in effect, be a nullifca-
ton of the vote cast at the primary
election.

ton Of sl06, 045, $50 from the preceding

duction Of imports. This balance is
made up by reduced shipments Of mi.
nor Agricultural products and various

experts are due to an enormous de-
mand at home which has kept the fur

The Sank Centre Herald takes sides

The Sank Centre Herald takes sides
in this senatorial fight and criticizes
The Argus sharply. 1t, however, is
generous enough to say that Mr..
Wood had a right to become a candi-
date, which is more than the opposi-
up this way comedies. Our dear
brother Hendryx seems to think the
Leader is all right, as he says moth
ing about it's methods. Now we know
that Mr.. Hendrix is very wise man,
but if he will just attend to his own
business, if he has any, and keep his
snout out of this fight up here he will
haye enough to occupy all his time
and talent. We have been here for
more than 26 years and know all
about the affairs in this district and
do not need any Bro. Hendryx wisdom
to direct us what to do.-Todd County
Argus.
The above is a very mild speci-
men of the methods of the Argus
in conducting the campaign. A
residence of twenty-six years in
Todd county is hardly justification
sufficient to warrant the editor of
the Argus in Its long departure
from all ethical standards IN social
and political life. Vituperation is
not argument. Mr.. Lee has been
dragged into the fight and made a
target for editorial mud singing,
simply because he is friendly to
the nomination of a Legislative
ticket to which the Argus is op-
posed, and that in the face of the
fact that he has ever been fast
friend of the Argus and its editor.
The HERALD has as much inter-
est in the selection of Legislators
accredited to Todd, or any other
county, as it has for Stearns.
They are state officers, and very
Important snes at that. The poll
cies OF the party and the welfare
of the state at large are committed,
to the legislature, and he who
takes the narrow view that
member of the legislature is a To-
cal officer fails to realize the first
principle of government. Per-
haps twenty-six years in Todd
county has tended to circumscribe
the editors political horizon.
Furthermore, the HERALD has a
large circulation in Todd county,
and its readers form no unlmpor-
tant percentage of that county's
voting population. The HERALD'S
right certainly stands upon a sure
foundation even from this view
point.
The Argus is not alone guiltless
IN disrupting the republican party
in Todd county, and imperiling
republican success, but. it could
had it desired-prevented the con-
ditions that there exist, and the
tendencies and results of which are
fraught with peril.
