Trains GOING West.
TOO MUCH DELAY.

One of the weak features Of the pri-
mary election law is the long time
which elapses between the date Of the
primaries and the meeting Of the state
canvassing board. Just why the in
term should have been made so much
longer than between the date OF the
fall election and the canvassing board
is not known.
The primaries were pulled off in June
and the state canvassers don't go over
the figures till in September. The
county auditors must file them early
with the secretary OF state, but he is
not permitted to open them till the
board meets.
When the election is close the re-
suits are in doubt for an unnecessarily
long period.
In the last primaries there was a
great deal of difference of opinion as
to the sixth man in the judiciary race
and the third man for railroad COM
missioner.
Unless a newspaper has a special
paid correspondent at each county seat
It is rather difficult to get all the re-
turns promptly. Through the courtesy
of the county auditors The Forum was
able to publish the first reports OK the
results. All except one or two gracious
ly replied with the figures--and The
Forum is under obligations to them for
courtesies extended.

At an early hour morning or two

his slumber by unearthly howls and

dreamed, but as he rubbed his eyes
and pinched himself TO see IL he was
