NOT AN ISSUE

The attempt which is being
made in some quarters to make
the primary law an issue of the
state campaign only exposes the
promoters of this foolishness to
ridicule.
The primary law is distinct
step in advance in the problem OF
government. 1t has had one
trial and there is much dissatis.
faction but no one wants to do
away with the new law, Even
the attempt last winter to amend
the law failed--in fact, never
made any considerable Roadway.
There are very serious defects
in the primary law as it stands
on the statute books of Mime
sofa at present, but we shall
know better how to remedy these
defects after we have put the
law once more to. the test of
actual experience.
That feature of the law which
has caused the gravest concern
is the fact the law seems to make
it impossible for any manwithout
money to make a campaign for
office. In other words while the
law nominally gives every man
an equal chance it really gives
the man with money an enormous
advantage. That money should
be made a more important factor
than ever in the choice Of the
officers of government is indeed
matter for serious concern.
The primary law is yet to be
worked out in Minnesota It is
not a political issue, however,
but study in the science Of
government to which every good
citizen should give some thought.
