The individual voter feels an in

he has not felt for a decade or
more, and he demands a voice in
the selection of the nominees. just
this week one Of Audrain's sturdy
farmers, as worthy a citizen and
Democrat as ever followed the
standard of Thomas jefferson, said
to the MESSAGE: I want pri-
mary where each voter, ,untrammel-
ed, and without any
intermediary machinery, can cast
his ballot for ilis cHSice, from Gov
ernor, Lieutenant Governor and on
down to constable. It is none
other than democratic and fair. l
hardly think the Democrats of Au-
drain will be refused this reason

Who will say this citizen is not
right in what he asksR Every
member of the party can but favor
the plan proposed in a primary
election for the whole ticket.
There is not single argument
against the primary election that
will stand analysis, and it comes
down simply to this-the man who
opposes the primary wants some
thing else than the straight ex-
preston of choice by each individ-
ual voter.
Some say, Have it on Govern
or and county offices; that's
enough, let it go at that" But
why not all9 The men who OPP
pose the selection of State nOmin-
ees by direct vote of the people
will be just as strongly opposed ia
instructions on these candidates by
a convention selecting delegates tu
the State convention. What they
do not want is full, fair and
complete expression of the voters
upon all of the candidates. What
the people want is an expression

WABASH WRECK.
Bad Smash-uD Down Near
Benton City.

Inc WaDash fallrOad had one
of the worst wrecks in the history
of that road just before daybreak
last Thursday morning, four miles
east Of Mexico and ~ miles west
nf Benton City.
The east bound passenger train,
from Omaha, collidcd with a west
bound freight. The freight en-
gineer, Thomas Whitten of MOber-
ly, was under the debris, dead.
q w. Blodgett of Busy, Ia, aud
Charles R Lamont of Samdusky,
Mont, were permanently injured.
Both of them suffered broken legs
and were much bruised. They
were brought to this city. The
latter died of his injuries Saturday
morning. He was 21 years of age
and belonged to a respectable fam
lily in Iowa. He was an Odd Eel
low and that order looked after his
wants as soon as he was brought
here. A. j. Winscott, represent
ing the Mexico lodge, accompan-
led the remains to Iowa. BlOdg-
EFT had only lately been discharged
from the U. S. Army. Recently
was appointed a member Of the
jefferson Guards at the Worlds
Fair in st. Louis. In order to save
money was beating" his way to
st. Louis. Blodgett aud Lamont
were riding between the express
car and tender.
The passengers, about seventy
in number, were badly shaken up,
not seriously injured. The cause
of the wreck was the negligence of
the engineer who was killed. 1t
seems that he concluded the pas
senger train, which was an hour
and half late, had passed while
his train was on the switch at Ben
ton City. He insisted on pulling
out for this city against the advice
of the brakeman. One mail car,
one baggage and five freight cars
were demolished.
The wreckage was piled up as
high as the telegraph poles. En-
gineer Whitten's remains were not
recovered from the wreck till 3 o.
clock in the afternoon.
A coroner's inquest was held
over the body of Whitten here.
The report was as follows:
I'VE the jury find that Thomas
r. Whitten came to his death in
the Wabash wreck east of Mexico,
of his own positive mistake.
