Montpelier Examiner:

montpelier Examiner.
The Boise Statesman seems to be
greatly disturbed over what il
claims to be.a scheme of the alleged
republican machine to defeat The
divine purposes of the direct prim-
airy. 1t has penetrated the inner
workings of the machine and has
discovered that it is a thoroughly
matured plan to mold conventions
in the several counties and nomi-
nate candidates to be voted for at
the direct primaries. OF course
this sanity sheet is up in arms
against unholy plan and proposes
to proceed at once to- unmask the
dark and damnable conspiracy
and conspirators.
We never heard of the plan
until it was revealed through the
Statesman. and as its revelations
generally come from democratic
sources, we are not disposed to give
much credence to this one. How
ever, it would not be strange if the
republicans did devise some plan
with the view of protecting their
primary against being packed by
democratic votes. In this they
would simply be profitins by the
experince of practically every other
state where the direct primary has
been in operation And if the re-
publicans or any other clement Of
voters choose to meet and decide
whom they desire to vote for in
primary, they have perfect right
to do 80. 1t is our impression that
this is still a representative govern
ment, and that the people still have
the right of peaceful assemblage to
give expression to their views on
matters of public concern.
The Oregonian has heard Of the
plan TO nominate candidates for the
primary election and thinks it ls
good one. 1t discusses the question
at length in the foIlowinged itoria
1t is proposed by the republicans
of lhaho to hold assembly meeting
for suggestion of candidates for
state and county Offices to be sub
mited to the direct primary for
nomination. But it is objected
that such action would "nullify
the law" OF course it would not:
since all the assembly candidates
would be submitted to the direct
primary for Nomination and anyl
others would also be submitted. \
whose supporters might wish toll
offer their names to be voted on at 4

not set aside the primary law. It'll
