OBSERVE THE LAW.

81 have met scores of republicans,
and, of course, the political situation
has been discussed among US to some
extent. / am certain about one thing,
and that is, there will be no formal
conference of the administration men.
So far as / am concerned, | do not
approve of such meeting, and do
not believe that six or seven men have
any right to meet at any time and
settle upon q slate. II such n thing
could be done, what use was there OF
all this agitation and trouble about
the primary election, which we have
adopted? | don't know how other
men feel about it, but ! am opposed
TO any slate making or secret caucus
es. In this case the people are the
ones to decide, and | am willing to
abide by the result. "
The Milwaukee Sentinel 80 quotes
Senator McGillivray, who Is II prom
inent candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor. Senator
McGillivray Is altogether right The
primary election law has been put
forward as n means whereby nomina-
lions shall be left entirely In the
hands OF the people. 1t would be n
disgusting exhibition OF insincerity
for the men who secured the adoption
OF the measure to get together IN
either formal or informal conference
or caucus and fix up a slate The
Democrat opposed the scheme from
the beginning, and even now we have
no liking for IL; but IL IL the law OF
the state, and ought to be given a
fair trial; and furthermore IL ought to
be strictly observed while it remains
on the statute books. We are afraid ,
however, that it will prove to be the
delight Of slate makers.

~"Evanorated Cream.v

st. Paul Dispatch: Gov. Deneen, as
o as he gets that balky Legislature
OFT his hands, should turn his attention
to his dairy and food department and
investigate the commissioner. Recent
ly Commissioner Slater has been In
vestigattng some stuff shipped In here
from Illinois, called ~eyapofated cream,
nicely labeled and processing to be bet
ter cream thar dairymen give. He
found that it had, instead Of the 20,
per cent. or butter fat called for by
our law, only s per cent. And he de-
clared it illegal ard fraudulent.
Then came one Jones, dairy and food
commissioners of the state of Illinois,
To see Commissioner Slater and see IL
something couldn't be done, some deal
made to let e~vapoTated cream be sold
here. He told MI. Slater that he waa
personally interested In two companies
that made this cream at Highland,
ILL.,; that If Mr.. Slater would lift the
bar they would put In a big plant In
this state. Asked how 1t came that
such stuff could be sold as cream IN
Illinois he blandiy admitted that some
Illegal foods were permitted IN his
state for political reasons. Needless 10
say he failed to. convince Mg. Slater.
We now put 1t up TO Gov. Deneen To
pass Judgment on his dairy commits
