DON'T LIKE STATE PRIMARY
OcaIa Banner.

The state primary is too big a lux
ury TO be severely democratic. We
heard one of the candidates say that
the postage stamps alone cost him
for Just sending his Platform fifteen
hundred dollars. Printing 1t. folding
it and addressing it cost another fiji
teen hundred, ard when this is repeat
ed several times it cost just as much
each time, and when all candidates
begin doing the same thing the guam
THY OF literature begins to pail on the
average voter and finds its way to the
waste basket, and the question arises
How are the people to be reached?'
One candidate says that his cam
paign extended over a period of four
months that he spoke in nearly all
the counties. and outside the large
cities that he does not believe that ne
spoke to more than -four thousand vOt
ers all told and of those very few
seemed to be very greatly concerned.
The only way TO reach them he says
is through the press. In al PROBABLE
ity they may read the local neWSpa-
perS, if not, then there is no way to
reach them and in practice tho pri
mary is failure however nice it may
sound theoretically. OF course the
cost Of the state primary effectrally
bars the poor man. A state primary
is for the man who has a large SUI
plus in bank. No others need apply.

The yellow Journals backed by Con-
gresham Hobson continue to gable
and drivel about the danger of war
between this country and Japan, and
yet congress has just appropriated
$1,500,00o to have this government
properly represented at the Worlds
Fair to be held in Japan in 1912.
Japan wouldn't fight us if she could.
and she couldn't fight us if she would.

The Case
Fairly Put.

We have been noting the tone of
in Alabama last Monday. where the
strength of Governor Johnson as an
opponent OF Mr.. Bryan at the Denver
convention had dts first square test
in the southern states. From a lead
ing article on 1.-THE subject in the New
Orleans States We take the following
as a fair expression of average
southern sentiment on the issue:
For something more than a week
the New York World has been as
sorting with show of much conf
demce that the Alabama election
would be the crisis in the Bryan cam
paign," but there is much reason to
believe that 1t has proved to be the
crisis in the Johnson movement and
Will wind it up so completely that
little more will be heard of it be
tween now and the time for the meet
ing OF the Denver convention.
1t is to be regretted that Governor
Johnson was not presented 10 the
country as q presidential candidate
under more favorable auspices He Is
undoubtedly an able and excellent
man of most engaging personality.
Democrats are not disposed to find
any serious fault with him, but they
do object strenuously to the groIHn
of anti-democratic newspapers and
conference.-the interests that have
heen most active in booming and
financing his candidacy, not that these
newspapers and interests intended to
elect him if nominated, but because
they hoped to defeat the nomination
of Bryan.
