THE PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.

The primary election law that ad
mits of holding elections in tile
various counties Of Il district or State
upon different days, is a monstrosity,
encouraging the vilest of canvassinp
methods and inviting bribery and
fraud of every description, and yc,
that is exactly the size of our presen,
statute. We were opposed to the
primary election system when the
matter was subject OF contest. but il
the people are determined to retain
1t, then apply the shovel to the Au.
gean stable, and give us as formula
that is clean and honest, or at least
as pure as legislation providing wise
restrictions, and. severe penalties can
make it.
[Aherdeen Examiner.
We fully agree with what the Elk.
aminer says in regard to the present
primary election law, and sincerely
hope the legislature win either
amend the law or repeal the same.
II the law was amended so as to have
the primary election all 0yer the dis.
trict or State On the same day. it
would close the door to fraud and
monkey business" and the election
would he conducted fairly aud honest.
ly and the Democratic party would
get better officers. men who could be
trusted. elected by the people, not
tainted by the corrupt politician who
is to be found in every counby in the
State. There are other objections to
the primary election law perhaps that
need amending, but we will be salts.
fec II the amendment above referred
to is made at once by the Legislature,
or repeal the whole thing.
