We yield our editorial page this
week to the publication of Secretary
Leslie M. Shaw's letter concerning
the primary system. The letter is
we'll worth reading as it contains not
only the Secretary's opinion concern
ing the primary but many interesting
facts concerning his first campaign for
Governor. The letter was first pub
lished in the Chicago Tribune and has
already caused much c o m m n
throughout the state. Ex-speaker H.
W. Byers of Hralan, has undertaken
to answer the letter in a lengthy argu-
ment in favor of the bill. While in
favor of a good primary the Review
believes the Secretary's objections to
the present bill are we'll founded
The Commercial club has declared
in favor of a gas plant if a suitable
franchise can be agreed upon No
details of franchise were recon-
mended and nothing was said in the
resolution as to whom the franchise
should be granted, although as one
of the members we'll put it, "Of
course we are in favor of a home
company if they offer as good terms
as any OF her company" The meeting
further considered the matter of bet
ter train facilities to the towns to the
north of US, took up the matter of a
trolley line from Carroll and in
structed the transportation committee
to investigate the route of the pro-
posed north and south railroad through
this county.
