THE PRIMARY LAW

The urinary election is designed to
do away entirely with caucuses and
conventions where 1t is possible by
careful manipulation and through the
leadership of some strong candidates
to get in men who are less popular
and less fitted for the office than some
other candidates, thus in part fall-
ing to record a complete choice of
the electors for each office. The
urinary dav is fixed or the first
Tuesday of September of ea'h cleo
ton year.
Each voter will go TO the polls the
same as at the regular election In NO
vember On entering the both he
will he handed a bunch OF ballots
fastened together, representing each
of The nolitical parties in existence,
on which will be printed the names
of a.. candidates. Each vote" must
vote only the party Of his choice. he
cannot vote part democratic and part
rem. blican. but must make the vote
wholly for one or the other II ne
wishes to drop party lines later ne
can do so when ii comes to the e'ec-
ton in November.
Having picked out the men he wish
as as the nominees for his party,
which ever one it may be, the voter
folds the ballot he has marked so the
endorsement appears on the ousside,
the same as with the regular baFots'
AT the same time folding in separate
bunch the unmarked ballots. Then
he comes from the booth to the Judges
Of election. the same as in the regular
election. and hands the marked oal-
lot TO be deposited in the REGULAR
ballot box. The unmarked ballots
are also handed to one of the judges
who deposits them in box provided
for blank ballots. Thus all TIE bali
lots are accounted &c and there is
no nossible stuffng the ballot Meta
er is there the possibility of republic
cans having anything to say about
who shall be the nominees OF the
democratic party or vice versa w. Ten

Question for the Voter

AS matter of fact the whole ques-
ton is one for individual Judgment
and preference and under the pri-
mary law the voters will be able to
express their choice intelligently and
with perfect knowledge that one
mans vote will count for Just as
much as the vote of any other man.
The primary election is now only FIVE
weeks ahead and the indications are
the interim will be taken up with a
spirited campaign between the oppos-
ing tickets. 1t should moreover, be
campaign of friendliness and devoid
of any element of bitterness and hos
tility The candidates are all former
friends and supporters of Senator La
Toilette and beyond the mere ex-
preston of the latter's personal
choice therefore, there i; no excuse
for any exhibition of hostility on his
part toward any of them. On the
people themselves, howeve', rests the
responsibility Of choosing the nomi-
nees who they believe will hest repre-
sent the republican party and who If
elected will best serve the interests
Of the state.

The New Governor.
jFrom the Milwaukee Free Press Of

from the Milwaukee Free Press OF
January 2, 1900
Governors corr. and governors go,
hut the government at Madison goes
on forever.
James 0. Davidson, elected by the
people of this commonwealth for just
such an emergency as arose at noon
yesterday. when by reason of his res
ignation of the Office Of governor Rob
ert M. La Toilette vacated the office,
took the prescribed oath and became
I'm fact governor for the residue of
the present ternl-whith is to say,
Cor one year.
Gov. Davidson is not an experiment.
and he IS no novice in public affairs.
Has had experience in the office of
treasurer for four years; has been
president of the senate during two
long and important sessions of the
LEGISLATURE. am discharge the duties
OF the office of governor during the
past summer and autumn, and has
made no mistakes. He comes to the
discharge IF his present powers and
duties as we'll equipped, to say the
least. as any new governor could at
the beginning of the tedm. He is
wholly familiar with the business of
the state in all of it's departments.
And James o. Davidson is an hon
est man. and peoples man. There
need be no .. xiaty about the en-
forcement of the laws-the old ones
and those that bear recent date The
corporations are not going to run
away with the state-and they are
going TO pay their taxes and obey the
laws.
The state is better worth governing
than it was five years ago yesterday
when Gov. La Toilette took the oath
office. and the lev governor has
done a mans part in making it so.
Success to him. and happy and
useful administration!

TOO MUCH ENTHUSIASM

Free Press. There is the Plymouth
Reporter, the editor of which is hold
ing down a position on the state civil
service commission, permitting its
zeal to run away with its better judg-
ment in the matter of taking sides
between Gov. Davidson and Speaker
Lenroot, in the contest for he gu
bernatorial nomination.
1t can not be good policy for any
regular organization republican or
any regular organization republican
newspaper to asail in a personal and
offensive manner either of these can
didates.
Voters and newspapers that have
supported the movement in which
these two men have borne honorable
PARTS may. and some of these will
become the partisan supporters OF
one or the other; but there is no ex-
cuse for bitterness. or for saying
things about either of them now that
nobody would have thought of say,
ing two years ago.
So when the Plymouth paper pic
ures Gov Davidson as a man who
has back of him the enemies of Sen
ator La Toilette and his principles, A."
and then declares that Every vote
cast for such a candidate Is a direct
slap at the senator. and it can not
be anything else" it is permitting it's
/ senses to get away from IT,
Suppose Gov Davidson is renomi-
| mated as some people imagine ne will
be, then what is to be done? Are we
to acknowledge after the primary
election that be is a stalwart and
/ that all the votes that were cast for
him we're so many slaps at Senator
La Toilette and at the principles for
which he stands? That would mean
| that large number Of republicans

/ whom we know are his friends and

/ We are sure the senator will not
/ agree to abide by any such Judgment
as this concerning the signers to the
recent address to voters that was
sent out in the interests of Gov. Da-
wilson,
Let's have al. this intensity OF feel.

would be none Of this unpleasantness
and none Of this dangerous giving

tested in the Plymouth paper. which
heartily supported MIR. Davidson two
years ago when he was a candidate

We do not believe that any man in

good record and fine testimony to the

country, it is now announced by the

The past sixty years have been very
prolific in efforts to explore the polar
regions. The most noted of the early
arctic explorers was Sir John Frank
lin, who in 1915 set out on his third
expedition to the far north with two
ships called the Erebus and Terror.
He was never seen again alive and
died in June, 1S47. All the members
of his party perished with him. Many
expeditions We're sent out to rescue his
party or discover what had become of
them, but it was not until 1859 that
through the efforts of Lady Franklin
definite knowledge of Franklin's fate
was obtained, and it was not until
Lieutenant Schwatka's voyage north in
1879 that the bodies of Franklin and
his associates were found.
American polar exploration dates
from the Franklin relief expeditions,
and IL was in the year 1850 that the
Advance and Rescue, under command
of Lieutenant De Haven, set out in
search of the English explorer. Their
mission was fruitless so far as finding
him was concerned. In 1858 Elisha
Kent Kane, a surgeon in the United
States navy, set sail for the north with
similar object, and his voyage,
though it had no results in respect to
Franklin. added considerably to the
knowledge then possessed about the
far north In 1860 DIR. Isaac |. Hayes

Captain Charles Frederick Hall, in the
Polaris, succeeded in reaching s2 de

Colonel Martin, resident near the city
Of Galway, On the southern border Of
Connemara, Ireland, was probably the
first to start the worthy humanitarian
crusade against cruelty to animals. The
surprised British house Of lords shout
ed insult and derision at Lord Erskine
when in 1911 he ventured to gently
plead the cause OF dumb brutes. The
British house Of commons would have
treated Martin in the same manner
when he introduced his bill for the pre-
vention Of cruelty to animals but for
wholesome regard for his dueling repu-
tation.
Dick Martins act" as the humani-
tartan statute was known, was passed
In 1922, "a memorable date in the his
tory of humane legislation" On June
"a, 1924, Colonel Martin and a few
other benevolent individuals met in
London and formed the first society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals,
Forty years later the movement spread
to America. In 1856 Henry Bergh
formed the New York society.
