NOBODY HAS GOOD
WORD FOR IT

Threepr four years ago the Pioneer
Express was about the only paper in the
state that openly criticised the primary
law. To-day there is hardly paper ia
the state that does anything else, when
they speak OF it at all.
Of'course there are still large nus,-
ber who continue to say, that the law is
aa right in principle, but it wants to DE
tixed up SO as to be practical.
That is, the theory is all rlgh t but tie
practice is all wrong.
III: these newspaper men will go a
little farther in Neutrality-suspicious. they
will discover chat the theory aud the
basic PRINCIPLES ,ofithe primary law afe
all wrong.
For instance, the preamble .of the
original primary law of this STATE
|recited, that the purpose of the Law wss
for the better government and organiz4-
ton of parties. This has proven to be
exactl ly oppesitesin effect; so the grand,
mother of the primary law, the Grand
Forks Herald, decides that the best way
to fix that portion Of the law is to
abolish parsies. - y, -;
And yet we would willingly" wager
that editor of the Herald, as we'll as
ninety-nine hundrsdths of the votefs
who voted with any reason at,all, voted
for at least.one half of the candidates
that they honored with their franchise,
for partisan reasons only, as they could
havesno other,reason. % iM
The preatest difficulty with the pri-
mary law astthat it presumes that each
voter has q fixed personal opinion as to
his choiceof candidates This is not
true exoept'in the case Of the more
prominent candidates, such las senator,
representative, governor-anH the home
candidate for~some minor state office
When We get ibelow such candidates.
the rest Is pure guess work for the
voter, exception the party designation.

and convention system for the minor
