County Clerk Mosier Doubts Sin
cerity of True Northerner. Let
ter From Baton County.

County Clerk Mosier Doubts Sin
cerity of True Northerner. Let
ter From Eaton County.
The True Northerner of last week
says: "For 1t is a well.known fact that
under the primary system newspapers
do lucrative business during the polit-
ical campaigns, that money flows freely
and the press profits thereby"
IL such is really the case, why the
anxiety to kill the GOOSE that will lay
the golden egg?
This may be consistent hut the
prophecy OF the Northerner does not
compare very closely with the experience
of our neig hbor, Eaton county. The fol-
lowing letter OF questions from myself
and answers from the clerk OF Eaton
county may throw little light on the
primary condition as it actually exists
In rural county that is similar to ours.
PRIMARY CONDITIONS IN EATON COUNTY.
The following questions and answers
from an official OF Eaton county will be
OF interest to Van Buren, county rep b.
leans:
l. Does your county have primary
Yes.
2. What classification OF Offices does
it covert
The entire county ticket.
3. How do political conditions com-
pare with the convention plan with rela-
ton to clean politics?
1t does away with "boss rule" and
every voter is on an equal.
A. Do your people anticipate going
back to the convention plan?
Never, as they now feel.
b. Does the primary nave a tendency
to make possible the nomination of
weak and undesirable candidates?
1t does not; it gives the people a
chance to nominate the best qualified
men for the office.
g. Does the primary meet the ap-
proval of your people? What are the
advantages and disadvantages of the
primary in your county?
Itgives all the people a chance to vote
for and nominate the best qualified man
and does away with "ward heeers" and
ring politics" Not only that, but it
gives the poor man that is qualified for
the position be seeks an equal chance
with the rich, who sometimes are not
qualified. B. P. MOVER,
Clerk of Eaton county.
