THE SECRET BALLOT IN cONvEN-
TIONS. 81

The Grand Forks Herald OF Sunday
comments on the synopsis Of proposed
primary law printed in this paper las,
week and makes the objection, that il
the delegates to a convention voted
secretly then the people who sent them
would never know how they voted.
But under the present conditions in
county conventions the secret ballet il
more often used than anv other form,
and the people don't know how thei,
representatives voted. In the state con.
vention however the combinations are
usually made by The solid counties and
the vote goes that way. Still there are
many cases in which the county delega.
tons split and the vote is SO counted
The county delegations often vote solidly
because the people who sent them have
instructed them to vote as unit.
The objection has been made hereto.
fore by the Herald against this kind OF
voting and the secret ballot would over.
come that objection.
But without going into extend d argu
ment on this subject at the present time,
the Herald's objection simply shows
what we have tried to say in times past,
th It it is far easter to find fdul, with the
present system I'll ~ to substitute fault
less system. Undoubtedly laws Can be
frame d that might remedy some evils Of
the present system but the difficulty is to
at the s,me time prevent opening doors
to other evils equally bad or perhaps
worse
There are large number of good
people in this state today who are talking
and urging primary law in the ABSTRACT,
but which when put in concrete form
will find that they have just jumped from
the trying pan to the fire. The Pioneer
Express favors any measure that will re-
form-but ere are two distinct pro-
positions in this matter, one to properly
diagnose the disease. and the other to
find the remedy.
We have our doubts as to whether the
Herald has, as yet, ever arrived at the
first stage, as only last Sunday it went
into long explanation Of what fight
was put up in Minnesota at the last elec-
ton under the convention system, prov
ing conclusively that such fight could
be had under the old system. when its
greatest argument in favor of the primary
law is that under the old convention
system the people have nothing to say
and that only ''boss rule" goes
