One of The matters which vii, be
considered by tho voters at tho com.
ing election is the proposed primary
nomination law, by which 1t is de.
signed that the people shall make
the nominations without the assist.
auoe Of conventions. Tho object Of
the law is good, but whether the
means in view will bring about the
end desired, is matter for the
voters to earnestly consider. The law
will require an election for each
party's primary, with printed bal
lots, booths, judges, clerks, registered
voters, and all expenses necessary TO
regular election. Voters are ro-
quired to register their political
faiths, 10 that they may not be al.
lowed TO vote in the primaries Of
other parties. Candidates are obliged
to declare themselves beforehand and
file their declarations Of candidacy.
The grayest objection seems to be that
the nomination is necessarily by
plurality vote. In the present method.
IL requires a majority of the delegates
in the convention to nominate Whore
there are n half dozen aspirants for
some particular Office, the plurality
candidate is likely to be very far
from being the choice Of the majority
Of his party. Indeed, IL is probable
that the candidate favored hy any or
ganization or combination Of interests
may secure the nomination much
more easily than by the present
method, for he will have systematic
and united support whilo his opposi
tion will be divided. 1t Is easy to
see how the operation Of the law may
defeat the very object for which il il
proposed.

When there is an opportunity to
elect business man to business
office, as at the present time 10 elect
j. A. Slower to the office Of county
clerk, It should not be disregarded by
the voters, for such opportunities are
not too plentiful Mr. slower viii
conduct the Office in a business like
manner, as It must be conducted.
The volume of business IN the clerk b
Office is very large and requires the
attention Of a responsible aud expert
onced business man. In his term Of
Office as county commissioner, Q. t.
Loyelace has shown himself energetic
and judioious in the conduct Of county
business and has acquired close
knowledge Of county affairs that will
make him Immediately at home in the
sheriiT's Office Two years ugo, Mr.
Loyelaco was elected commissioner by
a good majority and if excellence in
official capacity counts for anything
he should be elected sheriff this year
by bigger majority, for he is
thoroughly good officer and u man
whom the voters will supp rt with
the most thorough confidence.
