dapper and twenty. came into his
plumbing shop and asked to see an eX-

This seems to be an excellent one"
said the young man.
Without warning he jumped into the
bathtub, drew his coat closely around
him and exclaimed: "Quick. turn on
the water! | want to try It,"
The proprietor thought he was in
sane and, soothing his head, said.
''There, there, you're all right"
"Yes," the young man gurgled.

The Webster World in one column
boasts of the passage of a primary
nomination law which knocked the
old packed caucus system into a
cooked hat and in another column
presents a list of candidates of the
insurgents for county Office. Well,
who selected these candidates? The
primary law was supposed to guar
antee to every voter an opportunity
of individually expressing his choice
of candidates, the beauties of which
have been heralded far and wide.
No more packed caucus, no more
machine rule; under the new law
the people alone would choose and
rule. The reign of the politician
was over on the day on which the
primary law went into effect. All
this and much more was promised,
but in this instance what do we
find. That small coterie of poll
ticians assemble in Frank Ander-
sons office and proceed to select a
ticket, publish the same and inform
the insurgent following, there is
your ticket" There were two
objects in this course: First, the
candidates were the choice of the
ring, and second, notice was served
that none others need apply. This
was as raw piece of machine poll
tiss as could be conceived. The
ticket bears in every name the
brand "machine- made" Nothing
was overlooked, due observance
being given to nationality and loca-
ftp. Men were named who had no
idea of becoming candidates, but
whose announcements and petitions
are now in circulation. The neces-
sity of peing a republican did not
enter into the deal, all that was
required was that the candidate had
the price and was willing to run.
OF course, if the insurgent voters
approve of this machine mothod of
choosing their candidates, no one
else has any objection, but for
Heavens sake keep still about the
beauties of the primary law.
