tho primary and cast his ballot for his
favuitcs for the other Offices, but abstain
from casting n vote for either swanson
i or Willard This will leave him free TO
vote for Lewis should he see III 10 90 So
Our contemporary is utterly ana raal-
4 cally wrong, and should hasten to correct
It's error The man who goes into the
Democratic primary and votes for any one
e of the candidates thereby pledges and
binds himself to support the entire Demo-
& cratic ticket in the regular electioh IN
November There can be no escape from
this The State primary plan demands
"A IL. and Chairman Ellyson has gone SO
far as TO say officially that IF judge
of election has any doubt about the in
/; tention of a voter to support the nomi-
nces Of the primary, he has the right to
ask the question rs to whether or not
no viii do so before permitting him to
vote"

the votor to support all the nominees
Of INC urinary. That is the law of the
Democratic party, and It Is likewise
The law OF honor and fairness, II a
man voted for but one candidate on
the primary ticket and scratched az
( the rest, he would stu he bound lc
support all the nominees OF me PR
