PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.

Some of the State papers make the
mistake Of srpposing that we have IN
Louisiana primary election law. This
IS grave error. We have travesty
that some suppose is law. It can not
be enforced, nor is there any penalty
attached to its violation. It is fraud,
and the father and instigator OF fraud
Those guilty Of making this so-called
law deserve the quiet of oblivion. Some
day louisiana may have a primary cleo
ton law. but it has yet to be made. -
Colfax Chronicle.
The Chronicle may be classed with
the few newspapers, almost in q hope
less minority, which do not respond to
the political requirements Of the day.
Perhaps the Chronicle is not well in
formed. On the statute books of Louis
lam will be found the law devised by
The General Assembly OF 1900 which is
sufficiently rigid TO punish al persons,
Of high Or low degree, who would swim
die at a primary election, or would aid
Of abet IN defrauding or in any scheme
which Is dishonest. The primary election
law was enacted to secure fair and hon
Est primary elections, and il is one Of
the best provisions OF the Legislature.
Il may be said in general sense that
ballot box suffers and political thieves
do not view this law with favor, but if
the Chronicle will read II carefully, il
will no doubt be aligned with those who
regard this law as strong check to
swindlers and political thieves.
