White REPLIES TO The HERALD
Open Letter BY Representative White to the Editor of
the Grand Forks Herald on Primary Bill
Objects to the Structures Of the Herald and SuQQess the
Il MefiiOrOus Features Of the Bit

M Dear Sir: / note with a degree Of
interest your savage attacks on my
primary bill in recent issues Of your
paper I would be very sorry to think.
I that a great reform paper like the
Herald, would Intentionally misrepre-
sent the case in a matter of SO much
Importance. From your editorial Of
the 10th it seems clear to me, either
that you do not understand the bill
and my position on it, or that you are
not disposed to treat it fairly For
instance you quote me correctly as
follows:
First. The law should at least
permit the Office to seek the man, and
not compel the man to seek the Office.
Second. II should afford an equal
opportunity to the rich man and the
poor man to come before the people
for Office; and that without the loss
Of self-respect and humiliation, due to
paying fee for the privilege Of being
a candidate.
Third. And this Is the most i'm
p0rtant of all. IL should be based on
the absolute right OF the majority to
rule, and require majority to nomi:
nate 55s5s5 s5 Y.
Then you comment upon it in such
a way as to make me appear ridicul-
GUS as claiming that / have discover
Ted a way to prevent Office seeking.
The words quoted will not bear out
any such construction, and the lexpla.
nation which followed, makes it per.
& fectly clear that nothing Of the kind
was intended. 3S55 Es s.$
Here is what said on that head:
First. It, II. B. Is, permits the
ONCE to seek the man. / do not claim
( that It will entirely prevent Office
seeking; no power on earth could do
I that; but. in theory. a convention is a
deliberate body, and under this plan
it would be SO IN fact to a much great
er degree than it has ever before. 1t
would have the power, and in some
cases it would use II, to go outside Of
the crowd of clamoring aspirants, and
select a candidate for some important
office on his merits alone. AT least it
would be possible for 1t to do SO, and
1 in any case the candidate of conven.
ton has something to recommend him

SOUTHERN MAN CURED
Ola Terrible Eczema by Cuticura
In Six Weeks.

Some time ago I suffered terribly
with eczema, and had the best medi-
Gay attendance, but the more medicine
took the worse it seemed to get. j
kept on with medicine for about Ave
weeks Until 1 saw the Cuticura REM
edies advertised, and at once BUR
chased the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent, but
had not the slightest hope 81 them
curing me. After had used the first
set OF the Cuticura Remedies / saw the
Improvement, and in just six weeks nv
SKIN was as smooth as ever. I advise:
any one suffering from this terrible
qlsease 70 use the Cuticura Remedies.

more likely that something be manu-
factured especially for the occasion.
A hot fight for governor may cost
candidate thousands Of dollars. Who
can afford To pay this expense? First,
there IS the wealthy man who is am
bilious for the honor and willing to-
obtain it at any cost; and then there.
rs the politician who is glad to become
d tool In the hands OF any powerful
Interest In exchange for his campaign
expenses. There lis no place here for
the honest poor man or the man Of
moderate means who intends to put
in his time for the people and get.
nothing for 1t but his salary.
On the second point ] claim that my
plan is fairer to the poor man. Money
cannot be shorn of its power under
any system Of election; but with the.
convention and referendum i1 use, its
power would be greatly reduced, for
the reason that any unfair or even ex-
cessive use Of money to secure con-
vention nomination would be known
to the people, and would be resented
at the primary, SO that it would react
against the man who used it to some
extent at least. Then, too, the candi-
dates Of a convention would be in an
entirely different position in regard
TO making personal campaign from
that of a candidate put on the ticket
by petition, as win be seen hereafter.''
Under this head, that Of majority
rule, said:
On the third point, that Of majority
rule, you will notice that under my
plan, we eliminate all the weaker
candidates, and bring the contest
down to a struggle between the two
strongest men for each place on the
ticket, and Of course one or the other
OF them must be nominated by ma
jority. n,
Let me take one concrete example
by way OF illustration. At the last
republican state convention there
were two well defined factions, which
for convenience are spoken Of as stall
warts and insurgents. The issue be-
tween these two factions was clearly
defined and well understood ali over
the state. The stalwarts having a
majority Of the convention, slated
Gov. Sarles for governor and nom
mated him. The insurgents selected
exc Congressman M. N. johnson to
lead the forlern hope. The result and
what followed is now history and it is
not my purpose to discuss it here.
The point is that it was family row
in the party, and there should have
been a way to settle it in the party
Under my plan. both of these men
would have been nominated for a
place on the primary ballot. These
two and no more would have had a
chance to fight it out before the re-
publicans Of the state Mr.. Sarles
having the prestige of the majority
nomination in the convention.
It may be assumed as a fact that in
most state conventions there will be

4 win simply say that the brightest
men In the house have been over it
carefully and have not found that
defect.
You also say that the bill is too
bunglfng, that the people will get dis

out and vote SO often This proves
that either you don't understand the
bin or that you don't want to be fair.
Under the direct system the people
get out to a primary and an election
every two years and caucuses to
elect delegates to the national conven-
Stion once in four years. That is, they
turn out five times in four years. Ny
plan contemplates one more caucus
every four years, that is turn out six
times in four years instead Of but Ave
times. Only a very small percentage.
of the people attend conventions, and
they are always glad to go, SO that
/ feature is no objection to the bill.
My plan is conceded to be something
new in the way Of primary election
laws.
/ Governor La Toilette called a
special session Of the. Legislature in
Wisconsin to amend their law so as to
secure, majority rule; but they failed
/ to devise a plan to bring IL about.
! Governor johnson OF Minnesota, in
{ his last message, takes very strong
grounds against extending the direct
primary to state Offices in that state,
and among his suggestions as to what
might be done to improve matters
there. find the following:
II believe the law would be Inn
proved by providing that political
parties through conventions might be
i permitted TO nominate two or more
candidates to be placed upon the

Mr.. Lloyd Schmidt, an electrician
of the Waikiki Sugar Co., the prose-
outing witness, was on the stand,
and related the story of how he APP
preached Mr.. Green at the junction
of Main and Market streets, on Tues
day morning, outside the Kindergar-
ten building, and addressed him
thus: You d--n old stiff, is it true
that you complained to the police
that | had been around your prem

BY this time Mr.. Schmidt had got
ten OFF his horse and was in a some
what excited mood. Mr.. Green, see
ing Mr.. Schmidt excited, raised his
hammer and struck one mighty blow
en- the jawbone below the left ear.
Two inches higher up and Mr..
Schmidt would surely have been

In Mr.. Green's opinion anyone VINO
calls him an old stiff deserves to
serve six months in the hospital or
two years in Purgatory. At any rate,
neither Mr.. Schmidt nor any other
| living creature in Waikiki would
now dare call him such unbecoming
epithets without preparing for the
worst
When the Government rested its
case Mr.. Green assembled the witness

to the Magistrate of how Schmidt APP
preached him in threatening mood
and called him IAN old stiff" and he
wasn't going to let him address him

he proceeded to disable MS vocal or

before an equity court. In this in

lice at Newport News

William D. Webster, who is in the ice
business at S23 Az street southwest, called
at police headquarters last night to con-
fer with Inspector Boardman with refer
ence to his son, William F. Webster, thirty
eight years cd, who is reported to have
been picked up by the police at Newport
News yesterday. Mr.. Webster said his in
formation came from Chief of Police Rus
sell. and was to the effect that his son was
believed to be demented. Mr.. Webster told
INSPECTOR Boardman that his son left home
Wednesday afternoon for the purpose OF
going to jamestown to see the sights at the
exposition.
William F. Webster his father said, has
been employed with him in the ice business.
and is not a drinking man. His son shot
colored man at The Ice wharf several
wears ago, he said. but the act was Justi-
fed and he was acquitted By jury. The
affair troubled his son considerably. how
ever. and preyed upon his mind. The father
communicated with Chief Russo / last night,
and he will probably go to Newport News
tonight to take charge of his son.

Ths revelations regarding fraudu-
lent paint materials which have been
made by the Agricultural Experiment
Station Of Fargo. N. D., and published
by Prof. e. F. Ladd, state commits
sioner, have occasioned almost as
much OF a sensation al the exposure
Of adulteration in food products did
when the latter first began to appear.
1t has been shown that kegs marked
pure White Lead often contain other
substances such as chalk, barytes.
silica. etc., and that oil supposed to
be linseed often contains petroleum
adulterants, to say nothing Of water
in large proportions. Sometimes. So
called white Leads" contain not an
lota of genuine White Lead.
The farmer is a large user OF paint.
No one Is more interested than he is,
that the label should enable him to
get what he supposes he is paying for.
There should be a law In every state
requiring that all paint packages be
labeled exactly according to their con.
tents. That would enable every paint.
buyer to buy intelligently.
