of an anti-Venezuelan demonstration
here Saturday and Sunday. The city
is calm now, and the troops, which

been taken to their barracks.
Great JOY was manifested by the
population when it became known
that the Venezuelan consul, Senior
Lopez, had taken passage for Porto
Cabello on the steamer that arrived
at 6 o'clock this morning, and the
consul boarded her and proceeded
for Venezuela.
As Consul Lopez was going from
his residence at noon to the consul

nearly caught him, but he was saved
by the arrival of more troops This

liens are strongly opposed to this pro-
vision. The reason, however, for its
being Incorporated into our direct pri
mary law is not hard to understand.
One of the strongest objections urged
against the direct primary laws of
oher states is that they permit in cases
where there are several candidates for
the same Office, the nomination of
candidate who is the first choice of
small minority and who would not ev-
en- be the second choice candidate by
any considerable number of the ma
jority. Under the old convention sys-
tenn, in a case where there are several
candidates for the same office and no
one receives majority of the total
number of votes cast upon the ballot,
successive ballots are taken until the
minds of a majority of the delegates
meet upon some person as being a can
didate acceptable to the majority.
Forobvious reasons it is impracticable
to hold but one direct primary election
proir to each general election.
The theory of the second choice is
that each elector, when voting for a
candidate for nomination for a state or
congressional office in case where
there are four or more candidates for
that particular office, will vote for his
favorite cadidate for first choice when
he considers the next best fitted and
qualified for the office. Good citizen
ship demands that electors so vote.
Were it not that it is made copulsory
to vote for one candidate for first
choice and another candidatefor second
choice, in a case where there are four
or more candidates for the same state
or congressional office, very few would
exercise the privilege of voting a sec
ond choice for fear of killing their
first choice votes. Dummy candidates
may be induced to file their declara-
tions of candidacy; men who are gen.
orally considered as possessing no quail
ifications for public office, for the sole
and only purpose of having printed
upon the official ballots the names
of persons who stand no show Of be-
ing nominated and to whom second
choice votes can be safely sloughed.
Any effort of this kind ought to be
vigorously opposed by every newspap-
err in the state. The success of such a
scheme would prove that the second
choice provision Of our primary IS an
absolute failure and that the vote Of
one schemer is far more potent than
that of one Conscientious elector.
