THE BOSSES SCORE
ANOTHER POINT

just as the independent be-
lieved would be the case, the pri-
mary election law has passed the
house with the amendment, which
provides for the nomination OF
county officers and members to
the state legislature by the Aus
tralian ballot, but the state Of
ticers must be nominated at the
state convention, by secret bal
lot. This nominating the state
officers by secret ballot is Just
what the bosses have been look
ing for. The boss can as rule
get the delegates to promise to
work for their favorites, and a
delegate as a rule does not like
to break his promise
The primary election law will
have a tendency to secure the
best men for the Offices in the
county. Ward county is very
large and for a man to become

widely known, he will have to do
a great deal OF hard work and
spend a good deal ofmoney. The
newspapers will come in for their
share Of the spoils.
There is one thing about the
law which the Independent be-
lieves will not be a success. The
delegates to the state convention
are to be elected the same as the
nominees for the county Offices.
Suppose that $50 citizens an
nounce themselves as candidates
for the state convention. Per-
haps only sixty shall be elected.
The average farmer is not ac-
quainted with but q few OF the
candidates and he must go into
the booth and perform the ar
duous task OF selecting sixty out
OF the $50. The chances are that
he will start ut the top and
work his way down through the
list as fast as possible.

DR.. Stafford on Hamlet.

Great interest is being manifested in Rev.
Stafford's lecture on Hamlet, which is to
be given next Tuesday afternoon at the La
fayette Square Opera House for the benefit
of the work for poor churches and the La
dies of Charity Society of ST. Patrick's
Church. The sale of tickets has been very
great and a large and distinguished au-
dience will greet the eloquent speaker. In
his Shakespearian lectures DR.. Stafford
combines rare analytical thought with Won
derful Evolutionary powers, and an after
noon of great pleasure is looked forward
to by his many friends and by all admir-
ers of Shakespearian art and literature.
