AuNGERFoRD's CHANGE OF FRONT.

| The Salinger- korte coup in Carroll
| county seems to have awakened a de-
terrnined sentiment favorable to "a
state wide primary system and to have
/, been convincing to those who have
| been opposed to nominations at first
hand. The Carroll Herald, up to the
present time opposed to the wide
primary offers its readers the following
| pledge, and confession:
We surrender: give a primary cleo
ton law. and make it include every
| thing from road supervisor to United
States senator 1t cannot be too state
| wide nor too direct. Away with fine
| spun theories and abstract distinctions.
The past contest in Iowa demonstrates
the inadequacy of the antiquated sys-
cope with the lepravity of politics and
politicians. Give us a primary that
includes the whole business. No argu-
ment is necessary: the horrible ex-
ample of the past campaign is all that
is required.
The Herald and its editor are to be
commended for their stand in favor of
decent politics. Conviction and con-
fession belong together and perform
ance should follow both. Let others
'fess up and get busy.

Massachusetts has expended total

ways for the townships to look after.
These include the side lines and back

on the lakes the exact hour of noon.
1t tells the pedestrians on the streets
just when to set their watches. 1t is

Hundreds of people watch for the

Superior avenue is lined by men with

it is there.
The government has taken into it's

hedges them about with every precau-

on tall building that will be raised
at five minutes before noon every day
and lowered at the second of IL o'clock.
The ball measures about three feet in
diameter and is operated along a
groove in pole twenty feet high. The
ball drops automatically.

her the air of one who has had more

stopped off at the station here TO
change trains. The person addressed
was a tall gentleman wearing VAN
dyke beard and carrying in his hand a
note book and pencil. He looked for
all the world like a news reporter but
might have been something else for
the matter OF that. He lived in Viii
lisca. That could be told from the
fact that he Wore not the slightest
semblance of a coat. His arms were
folded and he stood before a window
looking meditatively out across the
tracks.

says: AT least in Carroll county, there
is nothing to arbitrate.' There is not
miscroscope in existence that could
reveal the presence of just cause for

got licked because it could not make
good on the number of votes. Nothing
to arbitrate is literally the case in Car

it's opinion that there are not suffici-
ent grounds for departure from ac-
customary usuages in the coming
state convention. We have full con-
fidence in the manhood of the state
central committee and the personnel
of the delegations and believe that the
majority sentiment as expressed in the
several counties will triumph in the
deliberations of the convention. There
