THE PRIMARY CONVENTION IDEA.
Then we had quite long discussion

at present operated, was really the
best method Of choosing candidates,

that unfortunately the primary sys.

respect. as the candidates for State of.

little to show In the campaign, and
the best men were not always select

In the primary system, nor would they
consent to a convention Of delegates

people were satisfied with their selec

up any Of the rights that they now
had under the primary system, and

for the electoral college idea.
LEGISLATORS VOTE FOR EACH OTHER
Then Senator Tillman brancled out
and said that unfortunately the very
best results we're not to be had from
even smaller bodies, and he cited the
past elections by the General Assem-
bly, in support Of this proposition, and
said that he had always been convinc-

SHOW THE TRUTH

Republicans, forecasting events
from the September elections in YER
mont and Maine, should not allow
themselves to be ~overcontident of re-
suits of the presidential election in
November.
There is no doubt as to the fact that
Roosevelt will win, but he ought to
be given a great vote of confidence, an
o%utpouring of national affection and
trust, aside from a mere majority of
electoral votes.
A rebuke is deserved for the men
who so falsify facts and sentiments,
so distort, prevaricate and invent, as
to make it appear that Theodore
Roosevelt is anything but the strong,
thoughtful, loyal American citizen
that he is.
The silly bosh about "imperialism'
and "mi!itarism," the groundless fub-
dub as to fancied personal dictation
by their executive to the American
people should be rebuked by the peo-
pie in such as cun never be
forgotten.
Let Republicans appear en- masse at
the polls in November, to show what
they think of Theodore Roosevelt.

Party Records.

In every national campaign for for
ty years past the Republican party
has stood upon it's record of things
done, of laws enacted, Of policies es-
tablished under which the country
has progressed and prospered. The
record of the Democratic party made
in two administrations was so full
Of disaster, of commercial ship
wreck, of industrial paralysis and bust
ness failures that its chief business
in recent years has been to get as
far away from it's record as possible.
