THAT CAUCUS RULE"

The Democrats are holding on
to the caucus plan which done SO
much toward defeating them in
Montezuma county two years ago.
However, it has been suggested
that the caucus be called the second
evening before the day the primary
is to be held, as prescribed in the
rules" and adjourn without nam
ing any delegates. This would
certainly be an improvement over
naming delegates, but by far the
best way would be to ignore the
"rule" by not calling caucus.
There Is only one reason for the
making Of a rule of this kind and
that is to give professional politi-
clans, Office pirates and political
gangsters an opportunity to thwart
the will of the people. 1t is as far
from being democratic as the east
Is from the west, for being held in
the evening the ladies will not at
tend as they will a primary held in
the day time and thus half the
voters are deprived of the privilege
of having voice in the naming of
delegates. As we understand the
"rules" there is no good excuse, if
they are strictly followed, for hold
ing primary for if any one is dis
satisfied with the action of the
Caucus they can make list of
delegates and by getting ten sigma
lures have it presented to the pri-
mary but no delegates can be
named in the primary. This
caucus ''rule" appeals to us like
string Of fish that has laid on the
bank for week. If the Demo
Gratis wish to win this fall they
must cut out all questionable
methods and let the people name
their representatives to the different
conventions in the primaries.
