A Primary All Down the Line.

Other newspapers argue just'as
have we. Weigh we'll the follow
ing from the Rails County Times:
The old regime of state candi-
dates swinging around the circle
and only touching the high places
and the politicians, is out of date.
Let the State candidates get out
among the people for once and
see how it is to meet the rank and
file of the party the honest yeomen
who do the voting and win the
victories.
Conventions are but snares and
traps where the unsuspicious are
caught, handled and traded to the
personal advancement of the de-
signing politician. II a county
primary is agreed upon and per-
mits of individual expression, so
would a state primary. The rea-
son for the one strongly suggests
the other. A state primary will
bring the candidates and the peo-
pile in closer contact, both before
and after the election, and it will
undoubtedly more surely secure
better men for better place. The
people can be trusted. Their hon
esty, intelligence and patriotism
must be ever the hope Of self-gov-
government and the widest field
for the exercise Of these virtues il
lthe best platform a party can
ladopt

AS To PIKE.

AS IL FINE
In certain pc! tical quarters the
boast is being made that the Pike
county delegation to the Democrat
ic nominating convention will be
anti-Folk. If the majority of the
Democrats Of Pike county are not
honestly in favor of Mr.. Folk for
governor then of course he would
not be entitled to the delegation. But
il they are in favor of him-and the
Banner believes they are-then it is
only just and right that the dele
gates should be instructed to use
their influence to secure his nomin-
alton. Democrats of this coun-
ty will do themselves the honor of
preventing politicians from con
trolling the delegation against a
man whom the people desire shall
be their governor. Some machine
workers are gambling that Pike
county will be against Folk. They
are non-resiGents, but they think
the machine lash will be applied to
our backs and that we shall have to
get in line or take the consequences.
Are we Pikers going to fight for
what we honestly believe is right
and just, or are we going to meekly
surrender to pack of POLITICAL
bosses who are in politics for what
they can get out of it, and not for
any public goodl
What shall the answer BET
GAINESVILLE Banner.
This is Il pertinent question. The
ss-Journal believes and the pol
iticians admit that IS per cent Of
the Democrats Of this county are
for Folk. Aud we understand that
the delegates to the state conven-
ton are already named and the
names are carefully tucked away
in some politicians pocket aud
there is not single solitary Folk
man on the delegation.
Are the people going to submit
to this?-Louisiana Press.JOurnal.
If the above is the true situations
in Pike county seems to us the Ban
ner and Press-Journal are entirely
too meek about it.
Where is theDemocracy in such a
situation? Is it Jeffersonian? Is it
right2
It's particularly none of our bus
mess, but we suggest that the Pike
county Democracy get together
and smash that slate and smash it
hard
Usurpation fittingly describes
the situation in Pike if what the
Banner and Press-Journal say is
true.
Audrain Democrats will remember
that the Central committee of Pike,
so far, has failed to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of holding a primary
where the candidates for State Of
fees would be voted for.
