As Silver Joe Puts Il.
HOW TO VOTE AT THE PRIMARY
ELECTION.


Some people seem to have a wrong
idea about the primary election. I
have been asked whether a man can
vote d mixed ticket at the primaries.
Certainly not. You must vote
either one ticket or the other. If
you are a republican, you will vote
the republican ticket. You can't
vote part of the republican ticket
and then cross over and vote a part
of some other ticket. If you were
in a republican convention, you
would vote for republicans for the
republican nomination, would you
not? Just soin the primary cleo
ton. The sole and only object of
primary election is to nominate par
ty candidates. Republicans will
therefor vote for republicans. That
is to say, they will vote for men
who call themselves republicans,
and who are seeking nominations on
the republican ticket. Democrats
will vote for democrats and SO on
down thru the parties. When it
comes to the general election in
November it will be different.
There you can cut and slash all you
please, and the more you slash the
better it will suit me. If you vote
for the republican nominee for gov
ernor,. you have my permission to
vote for every man on the democra-
tic ticket for a local Office. And
especially is this true of the demo
cratic candidate for the Assembly
in the First district. Silver Joe
Konkel is a particular friend of
mine, and | am anxious to see him
geta good, big majority in the First.
See the point, boys?- Leader Cla-
rion.~
