Will make the best selections on the
ticket 1t Is too often that people pay
very little attention to the primaries.
The primary Is an all important affair.
The Republican ticket should be made up
Of the best material and the delegates
must be men who will keep this In view
regardless Of any little personal friend
ships or any little personal predjudlCe.
The Republicans have safe ma.
jorlty In Ford county at present and Il
can be maintained so long as the ticket
Is carefully selected. 10 keep faith with
the people Of the county, officers must be
elected who are not only honest but who
have the qualifications for the particular
office to which they are elected. They
must be chosen the same as men would
be employed by private business con-
cern, for just what they are worth in the
position they are to oil, The start on
this selection Is made in the primaries.
Each delegate has an important duty to
perform and they should be level headed
careful men. Any one who falls to at.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

We have been very much amused late.
ily by the members Of the "cradle roll"
The freshmen are so proud OF being 10
the high school that they never cease to
make manifest their pride. The high
school maintains a nursery department
for these infants and tho price charged
for milk, bottles, nurses, and other things
which appertain to a nursery Is very rea-
sonable. This accounts for the large
number Of them. However the upper
cIassmen wish them the best Of success
and hope to see their intellects properly
developed in time,
All the classes seem well started upon
their respective studies and the present
outlook Is towards 'llnal triumph"
over all tue difficulties the subjects may
present.

Reapportionment Of Districts.

Harrisburg, June 20.-It is limited
that Governor Pennypacker will take
some very decided steps to force the
next legislature to obey the mandate
OF the state constitution for a reappor'
tionment of the legislative districts
The governor regards this long ne
elected reapportionment as something
he is personally bound to bring about,
II possible, in reverence of the con
stitution. He believes that Its accom-
plishment would do much to establish
a reputation for him with future gen
erations as the greatest and wisest
of executives An inkling Of a plan
for dire punishment of legislators
who persist in disregarding the con-
stitutional provision has leaked out,

BEEN il the Possession of Senator
Lodge for several days, have been 50
lected by the various state delegations
and there practically is no doubt bu,
the declaration for protection will be
emphatic and that there will be but
little comfort for the tariff revision
lists.
A pledge to make changes in sched
ules when such changes are necessary
is the only concession that will be
made by the stand patters." Pos
sibly the wording may be changed and
those who have been talking revision
will secure the use of the word IRE
vises" to express the idea that is tn bc
conveyed, but even this is considered
doubtful.
The majority are against havinf
anything like general revision Of tho
tariff suggested and will contend for
the words changes in tariff schedules
when conditions make It necessary,
as ample to cover ali that Is intended
by the Republican party.
Senator Hansbrough, who intend.
20 offer a provision for a revision, has
not received much support. Only
Oregon seems to have approved the
revision idea, the senator's own state
delegation refusing to give him sup
port. Oregon alos declared against q
ship subsidy, but It Is not intended tc
make the declaration for the improve
ment of the merchant marine endorse
any particular plan.
Various plans now are being con
sidered by the joint congressional,
commission and the platform will moi
attempt to anticipate the commissions
report.
An effort is being made to secure
the Incorporation of an anti.polygamy
resolution in the platform. It is be
ing urged especially by the various
women's organizations that have beer
so active in their fight to unseat Sen
ator Reed Smoot Of Utah. One prom
inent member of the resolutions com
71ittee said there could be no harm
in declaration against polygamy any
more than in one against bigamy
But Senator Smoot thinks that any
declaration on the subject will be uset
to his disadvantage in the senate.
Also, it Is felt there is the posi-
billty that any declaration might ma
terially injure the Republicans in sew
eral Western states where there is |;
large Mormon vote.
Several other suggestions not nov
contained in the prepared draft Of the
platform will be made. One of thes,
is for international arbitration An
other urging that the interstate com
merce commission be given more pow
er to enforce its decisions, will be of
fered.
The territories are in a Turmoil
about a declaration in favor of the bill
which has passed the house and Is
pending in the senate, providing fo'
the admission of Arizona and New
Mexico as one state and Oklahoma ant
Indian Territory as another. Ari
zona delegates are opposed to any
thing being done, while Indian Terri
tory delegates say that statehood is Sc
remote that they want a declaration
in favor Of hcsre rule in appointment
in the territories.
