checked opposite the voters name on
the voting list, and when he comes to
the next primary he is given the ballot
Of the same party to vote without ques-
tion. If he wishes to change parties,
he may do SO by fling a written decla-
ration with the county auditor thirty
days before the primary. The party
affiliation opposite his name on the
voting list is then revised accordingly.
Under the Crossley bill voter might
still change his party .affliation on
primary election day, but if he did,
ne was subject to challenge and must
then take an oath that he had in good
faith changed his party affliation. In
Minnesota we know enough about the
practical workings Of the primary to
appreciate the danger of this loophole.
There would be no challenges and the
door would be wide open for democrats
to call for the republican primary bal
lot and vice versa. To make this scheme
effective, it would have to require the
thirty-day notice of change from one
party to another. That and the public
registration Of party affliation would
constitute about as close restriction as
voters would be apt to need. Men who
change their party affliation at the
last minute are hardly entitled to take
part in party nomination.
Every such scheme for registering
party affliation meets with objection
from those who prefer to be called
independents, and declare that any re-
striction Of their right to vote in pri-
maries is an infringement on their
rights. Such objectors all lose sight Of
what the primary is. It is not an cleo
tion, tho 1t often has all the appear
ance of one. It is substitute for the
caucus and convention system. No
democrat had legal or moral right to
take part in republican caucus or sit
as delegate In a republican conven-
tion. Neither has voter any right
or claim to participate in the primaries
OF any party except his own. If he
has no party principles, the thing for
him to do is to remain away from pri-
maries entirely, as he used to remain
away from the caucus. He has the
right now, as he had then, to exercise
his choice among the nominees at the
general election.

PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR'S LATE
POEMS.-Into volume admirably made
to suit the contents, have been put sew
eral of the dialect poems of Paul Lau-
renee Dunbar including the last poem Of
the kind he wrote, "Sling Along" the
last stanza Of which runs: @s
Sling along, sling along, sling along,
De 'possum grin, il .~,.6 p. es..a-.f-
t-Eg But he run lax sin, ~. - ..s.. ... -. ~t
:, He know loves sweet, A-,..
But he prize his meat. ~
Sling along, sling along.
tas he know you'd stay fu to hunt his hide,
..- If you los kiss and hug beside,
But de feas' will come and de folks will eat
When she tax yo' ham at de altah seat. 4;
30 sling along, sling along. .F-
While the last this is not the best of
the poets work. Better is "Joggin'
Erlong, the first in the list, which gives
its name ito the volume. There Is music
in this and a genial, homely courage and
patience that make it worth reading.
The volume is illustrated from photo

Minnesota Politics
Senator Nelson In the Cities Meeting
Members Elect Democrats Offer to De-
liver Votes to Anti Nelson Candidate
for senate--WIII Probably Vote for
Johnson, However.

Senator Nelson is in st. Paul for the
purpose of meeting members s-elect, and
will remain for about a week, before
leaving for Washington. The senior SEN
ator is not in the least uneasy about his
reelection, but he likes to keep in touch
with his constituents, and they will not
have any cause to say that he is out Of
touch with them.
Joel P. HeatWole, who has been trying
desperately for two years to work UP
q fight against the senior senator, is
also looking around. The antf-Nelson
movement seems in need of careful nurs-
ing. There is no candidate who can
be persuaded to enter the field, and with
all but half dozen members on the
republican side voluntarily on record
for Nelson, the opposition cannot be
taken seriously. The democratic forces
would like to foment trouble, and it
is understood that certain democratic
bosses have promised to deliver the
thirty-four democrats to vote for A. B.
Stickney, If enough republicans will stay
out of the caucus to give him a re-
spectacle following. There has also been
talk of G. A. Smith, but neither Of these
gentlemen could be dragged into a SEN
atorial contest with a four horse team.
Goodhue county has its full quota
Of candidates for house positions. While
A. J. Rockne is prominent candidate
for speaker, Barney r. seiz of Red Wing
is hustling for support as a candidate
for sergeant at arms. He was assist
ant sergeant at arms of the last house.
Judge H. G. Hicks desires to correct
a statement in r h e VI n al to the
effect that he tswitched'' on the vote
for chairman of the Hennepin delegation
Saturday night He says ne is not in the
habit of switching, and that he voted
for the same man on every ballot.
Democrats are talking of delivering
their party vote for Governor johnson
when the ballot on senator is taken.
This is part Of the scheme Of the gov
ernor's friends to keep his name prom
inently before the people of other states,
in preparation for 1908. 1t is also the
natural and logical thing for the demo-
cratic minority to do.

Safeguarding Party Primaries,

Many schemes are being proposed
with the aim Of preventing cross vot-
ing in the primaries, and requiring
voters to stick to party lines in MAX
ing nominations. Most Of the suggest
ed amendments impose extra duties on
the voter, and are, therefore, imprac-
ticable. A few, however, are worth
attention.
The final draft Of the Crossley pri-
mary bill, which was defeated at the
last session Of the Iowa legislature,
had in it a carefully devised plan for
protection of party primaries. In brief,
it was as follows: 4

GOALS FROM THE FIELD

Attraction "sociologist" has figured out
that streetcars could make four miles an
hour more if it were not for women.
Women, he claims, take more time get
ting on and off the cars than men for
these reasons:
They face the wrong way in alighting,
and the conductor has to get off and
straighten them before the car can pro-
ceed. - ...>
Their skirts impede their progress
down the aisle. :, -. ~.
They sit still until the car stops and
then call the conductor to ask If he Is
sure he stopped at the right street.
They usually get off in punches, like
ducks, and are undetermined which end
Of the car has the door.
They often find they have made a mis-
take and demand to get on again after
the car has started. =
These are Lbels, of course; at least
they are rare happenings ON Minneapolis
cars. J. r
r The only trouble with transportation
in this town is with the men who stand
in the vestibule and blow bad cigar
smoke into the car; who pile their legs
in the aisles until getting out Is a hur-
die race; who row with the conductor
about their change, and let on they
would do things to him if he would get
off. .-s+ ... ) w..
The streetcar is the bulwark Of de-
mocracy. It is the awful leveler of the
volunteer aristocracy. It Is true the
crowding and hustle Of the cars brings
out some of the bizarre features Of equal
ity, but on the whole one must prefer the
whimsicaltties Of women to the brutal
tiles of men in the streetcars.
