FIRST DIRECT PRIMARIES.

The first primary election held
where the yotors cast their votes
directly for the man they desired as
their party nominee 10 the fall took
place on Tuesday.
That this system of-yotiDg is more
pleasing and satisfactory to the voters
than the Old system Of electing dele
gates to convention that named
the nominee goes without saying be
cause it eliminates the bosses and
leaves the balance Of power in hands
Of the people.
In this District there was only a
contest for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Congress.
The vote while not large shows
that more interest was manifested
than is usually the case by the people.
In this County a very small vote was
cast but at the same time we believe
almost twice as many as would have
been cast ir tie primaries under the
Convention system. The only objee-
ton TO the direct system Of yotirg
In the urinary il that ii is rather
expensive, but we believe that by
careful pruning the law can be
amended and the system made eS-
cedingly satisfactory.
The people are in the saddle row
and itisto them that the aspiran,s for
political business must submit bis
claims. OF course the new primary
election system does not mean that
there will be no longer any party
organizations. There will be politi-
cal party organizations rs lorg as
there are parties.
The result on Tuesday outside of
the question Of politics was most
pleasing to the people who for the
irst tins in years were able to name
The nominees for Congress without
tile crack Of the "Bossesn whip.
The people can always be trusted
and any man who desires to be a
candidate need never be afraid to
come out before them aud make his
fight to secure the coveted honor.
One thing we might add and that
is that the primary election on Tues
day in this county can be commend
ed because there were no trick bal
lots.

DR.. Crichton, the owner and driver
of the machine which caused the
death Of Mr.. Alexander Bowie, APP
peared on Monday and gave bond
for his appearance at the November
term Of Court.
The facts Of this deplorable affair
were told in our last issue. The fact
that Dr.. Crieht5n came down voluu-
tarely and gave bond does not in The
least lesson he terrible outrage that
be has committed against the people
Of Charles County. As told before
the most unhuman act of DR. Crich-
ton and the others with him in re-
fusipg to give any aid to the injured
man until forced to do so cannot
and ,gill aot. soon be forgotten BY
the people Of this County.
Taar actions during the afternoon
previous to the killing of Mi. Bowie,
plainly demonstrated that these peo-
Pile thought they could RIM people in
bitches and fences as they pleased.
And again, their final dash back
home when they disregarded human
iy calls for rightful indignation.
The people Of Charles County do
MOI propose to put up with these
reckless Automobiles running around
disregarding their rights.
We think and believe they will be
vigorously prosecuted and a lesson
taught that vii be needed in the
future. =
The rights Of the people upon the
public highway mist be respected,
and our County, authorities should
see to it that these rights are not
jeopardizd BY anyone regardless Of
the consequence to the parties con
cerned. The penitentiary is not one
whit too good for such transgressors
on the rights OF our people, who
seem to place such little value on
human life.
They should be made TOO know
and fully understand, that the killing
Of a human being in Charles County
is something more than passing
incident of life.
