PRIMARY ELECTIONS
Continued from first page.


popular demand, what was not promised,
the option Of nominating the governor and
lieutenant governor by direct ballot, and
with this feature Governor Warner ex-
presses his entire satisfaction and the
high estimate of the honor he will share
when he shall be permitted to submit his
cause to that tribunal.
The new law provides the method Of
petition for getting names upon the pri-
mary ballot nomination papers" signed
by at least two percent of the party vote
in the county. district or state in which
the candidate seeks nomination and the
party vote. in all cases, is held to be the
last recorded vote of the party governor.
Alpeaa, Kent, Muskegon and Wayne
counties are excepted from the law, hav-
ing primary laws Of their own already in
force.
This primary law makes a radical
change in a system Of century's growth.
1t is experimental. The part of patriot
ism and good citizenship will be to apply
it honestly and test it faithfully to devel-
op what is good in it, and detect its de-
fects and prepare to remedy them. A
fair trial is the most that can be asked for
1t, and the least that can be given. To do
that, it is necessary that the voters shall
enroll themselves in their respective par
ties, at the April election, but none will
be enrolled except those who present
themselves for the purpose, the same as
in registration. Only such as are en-
rolled will be entitled to vote in the pri-
mary elections, just as only registered
voters can vote at the election and if the
voters shall largely fail to e1Sol, it will
show that they are not interested in the
subject, and the attempted reform will be
a failure.
