The Primary Law.

1t is difficult to find good authority
for the understanding or Interpretation
Of our new primary law. Even Attor-
neyG General Byers does not seem to
understand it very well, for when he
recently gave his opinion of certain
feature of it several prominent lawyers
Of the state declared that he was en-
tirely mistaken in his view. And at
both the conventions recently held in
Algona lawyers who were present adj
mitted that they had not read the law
or were not prepared to discuss it.
Under such circumstances it devolves
upon the scribes of the press to give
the law such study as they are capable
of giving and then giving their con-
illusions to the public, says the Algona
Courier.
The filling of all offices that are filled
by direct vote of the people is included
in this primary law, with the exception
of judicial offices. The electors for
president and vice president, the candi-
dates for United atates senator, mem
Der of congress, members of the state
legislature, county officers, county
supervisors, township officers and also
the precinct party chairman and the
delegates to the county conventions are
are all to be voted for at the primary
election. Candidates for supervisors in
counties that are divided into super
visor districts, and township officers
and party committee men, do not need
to file nomination papers, but the law
contemplates their nomination at the
primary election the same as county
officers in every other respect.
Candidates for county offices must
cause to be circulated petitions upon
which the name of at least two per
cent. of their party vote in the county
must be secured and those petitions
must be filed with the auditor at least
thirty days before the primary election,
which takes place on June End. And
every candidate must also file with
those papers an oath stating his resi-
dence and that he is eligible to the
Office for which he is candidate, and
giving the name of the political party
with which he affiliates, giving the
name of the office for which he is a
candidate, and that he requests his
name to be printed upon the primary
ballot as candidate for that party,
and further that if he is elected that
he will qualify as such officer.
If any parties thus filing nomination
papers do not receive as high as IS per
cent of their party vote in their county
or district, no nomination is made
by the primary election, and the nomi-
nation goes over to the convention to
be held on June Goth.
It is highly important that democrats
in every precinct go to the polls and
vote for precinct chairman and for
delegates to the county convention.
This must be done in order to preserve
a county organization. And it must be
borne in mind that precinct charm en-
and delegates to the county convention
will play more important in their
party now than heretofore. The law

CARD OF THANKS.
Nc vETY.

Theodosia Little was born in Airing
ton. Fayette county, Iowa, Feb. 4th,
1873, the fourth daughter of W. d. and
r. A. Little. There the early years of
her life were spent, the family moving
from Arlington to West Union in 1884,
and to Cresco, Howard county, Iowa,
in 1886, where on Feb. 9, 1883, the dear
father was called home and the be-
reaved wife with her five daughters
again moved to Arlington.
q At the age of eighteen Dosia was
baptized and united with the Christian
church of Arlington of which denomi-
nation she was faithful member till
the time of her death.
In 1898 she went to Miner county, S.

children were born, a daughter and
two sons, aged respectively thirteen,
eleven and eight years.
In 1899 with her husband and chill

Der the same year underwent another
operation at the hospital in Rochester,
Mimi.
On returning to the west her home
was for some time at KalispelI, Mont,

LIABILITY BILL is A LAW
PRESIDENT AFFIxEs SIGNATURE
TO EMPLOYERS, MEASURE.
Opinion from Bonaparte Results In
Causing Provisions to Be Placed
Upon Statute Books. e

Washington, Apr. 22.-As result
of an opinion rendered to the presi
dent by Attorney General Bonaparte
at the cabinet meeting Tuesday the
president signed the employers LA
biiity bill. The president accepted
the opinion of the attorney general
that the bill was constitutional and
waived any suspicion he might have
had to the contrary. The president
is convinced that the bill will stand
the test in the courts.
The Mccall bill requiring publicity
of campaign contributions was report.
ed favorably to the house by the com.
mittee on elections of the president,
vice-president and representatives in
congress.
A painstaking analysis of the testi.
mony taken in the several investiga'
tons of the Brownsville affair, which
led to the discharge of number OF
negro soldiers of the Twenty fifth in
fantry, and especially that by the com
mittee on military effairs, was present.
ed to the senate Tuesday by Senator
Warner of Missouri. He quoted freely
from testimony taken in the several
investigations of the charge that the
negro soldiers shot up the town.
1T is to be regretted" he said, that
studious and systematic effort has
been made to arouse the race feeling
of the negroes of the country against
the president because of his action
with reference to those companies.
Those who thus work to arouse race
issue have taken upon themselves a
heavy responsibility, for their action
must necessarily serve to increase the
race prejudice which now exists to an
unfortunate extent. 1t is incredible
to me that any intelligent man, white
or black, should have the hardihood
to charge that the president, in issu-
ing the order discharging those sol
diers, was Influenced against them by
reason of their color"

Fred White Will Run Again 70
Governor.

Fred White will be the candidate of
the Iowa democrats for governor this
year. This he has consented to do
after the most urgent solicitation from
party leaders from all over the state.
In consenting to enter the race, Mr..
White gave out the following state
ment:
when my name was first proposed
for the nomination for governor,
wrote and had published an emphatic
refusal to make the race. did this in
perfect good faith. intending firmly tc
stand by my declaration.
'tShould consult only my personal
interests l could not do otherwise than
adhere to my declination. But the po-
litical situation in the state is of such
character that find myself compelled
to yield to the unanimous wish of my
democratic associates to go before the
primaries as their candidate for
governor.
Having tried in my feeble way in
the past to put before the people the
elementary truths of Jeffersonian
democracy and as the present time is
certainly very favorable for the recep-
ton of these doctrines by the great
mass of our voters, deem it a duty
owe to the democracy-o of Iowa to again
become the candidate and should the
judgment of the representatives gather
ing here to-day be confirmed by the
voters at the primaries in June, will
certainly continue the good work of
spreading these seIf-evident truths
among our people upon the maintenance
of which our political institutions rest.
Mr.. Whites candidacy is universally
satisfactory to Iowa democrats. He
was twice candidate of his party for
the governorship, being defeated by
Leslie M. Shaw, afterwards secretary
of the treasury in President Roosevelt's
cabinet. He was three times the dem
ocratic candidate for congress in his dis
trict and was elected in the landslide of
$780, He is a farmer and his postofice
address, which was Webster formerly,
is now South English.
In congress Mr.. White made a speech
against high tariff which was more
used in the campaign of 1892, in which
Grover Cleveland was reelected on the
tariff issue, than any other speech, or,
indeed any other document of a political
character.
It is said that it was printed in six
different languages and democrats
declare that it was given wider circula-
ton than any other speech that ever
was used in campaign literature.
