The Primary Law Muss.

Some of our primary law promoters
are wrestling with the old problem of
trying to carry water in sieve it can't
be done-until it freezes and then it isn't
water.
The Grand Forks Herald which was
the original promoter and many lesser
lights are now frantically shouting that
the proceedings to knock out the senate
rial features of the primary law is the
low and dastardly work of opponents of
Marshall-who was sure to get the majo-
rity over Johnson-though the Herald
has acknowledged all along that the part
of the senatorial law was unconstituti-
onal.
This paper has always said that the
only part of the primary law that was
really feasible and desirable was in the
selection of the principal officials. 1t
was bound to be failure in the selection
of the minor state and county officers
because the average voter did not and
could not of his own knowledge make
proper selections.
However, the fearful and wonderful
machinery of the method of selection of
senator as provided by our law is to
foolish to be worthy ofsensible comment
and absolutely contrary to our own con-
stitution and inferentially to the consti-
tuition of the U. S.
We don't know and we don't care who
has started the proceedings, but if the
law is wrong then it ought to so decided.
Besides, if the election is held and the
people vote there will always be the
question as who made the selection
Republicans or Democrats.
The argument made by the Herald
that in case the law is knocked out that
the choice is already made because Mr..
Marshall received one vote out of three,
is rather too absurd for second thought.
No legislator will feel himself bound
by such choice.
Personally, the Pioneer Express has
no particular choice in the outcome as it
stands. If either Marshall or johnson
is elected it will suit US. We prefer Mr..
johnson but he was not our first choice.
Really it is not stalwart fight. 1t is an
insurgent fight. The stalwarts were
knocked out of the game at the primary.
However, if the matter is again left
open by the supreme court it will then
again become free-for-all. In the lsgis-
lative fight ensuing, there will be one
ele-ent interjected which the primary
law has ignored, to-wit; that of locality.
The true method of selecting senators
should not be by vote of the whole
state, but each legislator, if to be bound
by vote of the people, should be
answerable to his own constituents only.
This is one of the fundamental principles
of representative government like ours.
But is ignored in the primary law.

is preponderant-the verdict is
sure to be rendered in our favor,
becaue the jury (the people) are
intelligent.
Secretary of State Rose has his
record on which to predicate a
claim. Brown and Sterling and
the rest are intelligent men. Mr..
Sterling assures the colored that
they will be given justice-so do
all-all are honest men, but it's
to him who does the more and
better things that we can con-
scientiously advise you support
for Secretary of State. We have
no reason to believe but that
Rose will do as we'll as anyone,
and it's fo- you to see that you
make no mistake, but seek to
kuow the truth, and the truth
will shield you from all error.
Therefore until next week. we
leave this case in the hands of
