Emma Goldman Held Up by Customs
Officers at Boundary.
Minneapolis, April S.-Emma Gold
man, who was in this city last week,
has since been in Winnipeg delivering
a lecture. She had arranged to de-
liver another lecture here this week
and was returning over the 500 road.
On reaching Moves, the boundary line
between Canada and the United
States, Miss Goldman was stopped by
the United States immigration officer.
After delay of several hours Miss
Goldman was allowed to proceed on
her way.
Washington, April S.-No informa-
tion yet has been received at the
department of commerce and labor
concerning the reported detention of
Emma Goldman at the international
boundary, but it is admitted the state
ment may be accurate.
1t is known that the Goldman wo-
man has been under surveillance for
several months. Her every movement
has been watched by government Off
GERS. Months ago it was determined
by the immigration authorities to ar
rest her on her return from Europe,
but she evaded the officials and
reached the United States surrepti-
tiously. Recently she left Chicago
and crossed the Canadian border. It
is quite likely she has been detained
by the immigration officials on their
general instructions of several months
ago.

THE Courier also seems to have

THERE are many republicans
who looked with favor on the
primary reform movement on
the start who have changed their
minds since the democratic Cour.
Ter aud another one of the lead

to be so extremely solicitous
about the welfare of the repub-
lican party.

The primary reformers have
1gained another convert in our
good democratic friend, r. "A.
Chase of Waverly. He, like the
Courier, is anxious for the ad
vancement of the republican
party (ostensibly) and took a
whack at the machine" last
week through the columns of the
Courier. What he said, however,
will have little weight with any
thinking, intelligent republican,
emanating as it did from one Of
the leaders of the democratic
party. Mr.. Chase undoubtedly
received his information1 about
that "bunch Of politicians,
"machinists," if you please, who
dictated the provisions of the
county officers salary bill, from
one of the primary agitators who
was willing to warp and distort
the facts to "aid the cause"
The True Northerner knows of
no such meeting as that of which
Mr.. Chase speaks; neither do we
believe such meeting was ever
held. 1t is the duty of our friend
Chase, who is so Jealous for the
welfare of the "dear peepul," to
give the names of the "machin-
lists" who attended this "secret
meeting" and disclose the source
of his information.

THE Courier asks, .-Can it be
that seltishness has influenced
The True Northerner ia taking
the stand it has on this very i'm
portant question:" The True
Northerner' is not candidate
for any Office and owes no polit-
ical debt to any man or set of
men. The position we have
taken on the primary question is
actuated by no selfish motive or
frenzied desire for Office. Neither
are we prompted by mercenary
motives, for it is a well known
fact that under the primary sys-
tenn newspapers do lucrative
business during the political
campaigns. Money flows freely
and the press profits thereby.
We are sincere in the belief that
Van Buren, county is much bet
ter off in every way pertaining
to politics under the present sys-
tenn of nominations than it would
be under the primary. No, dear
Courier, it is not selfshncss that
prompts US to oppose the pri-
mary. But will the Courier
kindly explain to the satisfaction
of the people why it, democratic
organ, is so solicitous in regard
TO "a question pertaining solely
and only to the republican party.
Certainly the Courier does not
claim that it is the province Of a
democratic newspaper to attempt
to dictate the policies of the re
publican party or TO advise them
as to what is for their best inter
ests. If you have no selfish
motive, dear Courier, don't you
think that this primary question
in the republican party is one
that would be better left to re
publicans to decide and that il |
would look better for the Courier
to play in its own yard?'

HE pl luldly ONi'Oi
Courier attempted to mislead the
voters of Van Buren, county last
week, in his article headed The
Primary Question.
Let US look at the facts of the
matter. In the first place, the
writer accuses The True North
erner Of excepting from the peo-
Pile facts and information rela,
tive to the primary plan. This
is as false as the rest OF his argu-
ments. The True Northerner
has given space in its columns
to every single communication
presented by the advocates of
the primary law. Not one has
yet been refused. We will not
dispute the fact that, in our opln-
ion, no argument has as yet been
advanced that would convince
the intelligent people of Van
Buren, county that the primary
system should be adopted; never
theless, the communications have
all been published as presented.
Again, the writer would mis-
lead the voters by stating that
Jason Woodman voted for the
primary law" and quoting from
our issue of August Is, in which
Representative Simpson stated
that "Van Buren, county was for
the primary law"
1t is true that Jason Woodman
voted for the primary law while
in the senate. 1t is also true that
Representative Simpson voted
for the present state primary
law, aohich giUeS every county the
right to nominate by the primary
system i they so eject. But no one
ever heard Elk senator Woodman
or Representative Simpson say
that they were IN fdUOr Of the pri-
mary system for Van Buren, county,
The writer of the article in the
Courier does not remember the
circumstances under which Rep
resentative Simpson, in an inter
view with the Grand Rapids
Herald, stated that Ivan Buren,
was for the primary law, or else
he deliberately and malicously
attempts to place a false con-
struction on Representative
Simpsons words.
The county convention which
met at Hartford last August
passed resolutions favoring the
retention of the 40 per cent clause
for nomination of governor ano
lieutenant governor in the state
primary law. Some time later
an article appeared in the Crane
Rapids Herald criticising the
action of Van Buren, county in
passing such resolutions. Rep
resentative Simpson then gave, il
defense of himself and Van Buren,
county republicans. an interview
which was referred to by the
primary editor of the Courier
last week, and stated that ivan
Buren, was for the primary law.
But, mind you, he referred to the
state primary law, which is on
the statute books at this time,
with the 40 per cent clause in
$, cluded, and the writer knows it
This law gives each county OF
the state the right to use either
the primary or the convention
system, as they may choose.
