How would it do TO so amend the
primary ballot that it would carry only
the names Of candidates for contested
nominations? In other words, if John
Smith is the sole candidate for noni-
nation for county recorder, why not
let that automatically settle il, and
leave John Smith and the office OF
county recorder off the ballot? The
primary ballot is cum bersone. Any
plan to simplify il. without vital sacri-
fee of the purpose Of the primary,
ought to commend itself. We can see
slight objection to the proposed amend
ment. namely, that, altho there is but
on name on the ballot, another name
may be written in by the voter: but
we do not regard this as important, for
the reason that in practice the man
with his name printed on the ballot is
certain of the nomination. The excep-
ton would be too rare to talk about.
When Clifford Thorne, progressive
candidate for railroad commissioner,
caught w. w. Baldwin, vice president
of the Burlington road, in misrepresen-
tations as to the net earnings and cap
italization of the railroads, he scored.
And that's just what might be expect
ed Of Thorne every now and then if
he were railroad commissioner. He is
intelligent, studious, enterprising and
faithful and the railroads would have
to "go some" TO get the better of him.
The primary was established to give
the voters at large a voice in the Sc
lection of party nominees. The wisdom
of the institution must be found in its
general use. If the voters do not exer-

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

IF Senator'S Dolliver and Cummins
who have insisted that party pledges
be redeemed at their face value, and
have refused to mutely accept cut and
dried legislation, shall by any mis-
chance be discredited in Iowa at the
approaching republican state conven-
ition, il will be national calamity,
saws the Jefferson Bee For laying
aside all prejudice and petty feeling
the principles for which these men
stand are right. They cannot be dis
credited in Iowa unless their friends
are asleep. The way to prevent so
great misfortune to the cause of good
government is for every man whose
conscience and Judgment so direct to
be at the polls and lend helping

The way the Spencer Reporter sums
up the governorship contest in just
a few words is this: IF you endorse
the actions of Senators Dolliver and
Cunln1ins in the L. S. senate and the
progressive members of congress You
should vote for Cast for governor. If
YOU do not endorse their actions vote
for Carroll Let this be the test and
don't be misled by any other issue. for
this one point is the vital issue at
stake"
"If the people will not come out this
year in Iowa when will they take a
deep enough interest in the political
situation to show themselves at the
polling booth?" asks the Des Moines

election system would seem to be on
trial, as we'll as insurgents and reac-
tionaries."

Crowds Rushing to The Sale.

The out-of- business sale at the store OF
E. L. Hunt & Company, is proving
success in every way. From the
time the sale opened on Saturday
morning crowds have been in atten-
dance and the sales have far exceeded
the fondest hopes of the owners. It has
been necessary to lock the door many
times to shut out the crowd, and that
not alone on the opening day of the sale.
In spite ofthe crowds everyone has been
quickly and well served by a large force
of clerks. Among those who have
assisted during the sale are Miss Eula
Sheldon, Miss Regina Demers, Miss
Marie Henault, Miss Helen Gagnon, Miss
Winifred Clark, Mrs. ]. w. Sinons, Mrs.
John Powers, Miss Bessie Aldrich, Miss

men to Return to Work.


At meeting of Barre branch of the
stonecutters' union, held in the opera
house Saturday afternoon, it was voted
to accept the proposition of settlement
recommended by the lockout committee.
This action ends the difficulties between
employer and employee in Barre, and
closes the three months suspension of
the granite industry in Barre and
vicinity, and with one exception the
longest suspension in the history of the
business there. In 1892 the stone-sheds
were closed for FIVE months. The agree
ment reached and accepted is for five
year term from March /. the principal
features of which are as follows:
Minimum scale, 40 cents an hour for
three years to March 1, 1918, and 1925
a day for two years from March /, 1913s
to March /, 1915, all men to be raised
accordingly. The pneumatic bush ham
mer or bumper" is to be laid aside
until April next, and then used with
restrictions until June l. If at that time
the tool is not equipped with some de-
vice to lay or remove the dust, it is to be
laid aside until it is equipped.
The scale is an increase of 10 cents a
day over the present wages, and Is cents
a day for the last two years of the agree
ment. Agreements with the tool sharp
eners, polishets, Jumpers, boxers and
derrickmen were reached several days
ago and have been acted on by their
respective organizations.

Farmers! MIX Your own Fertilizers.

Do you know that home mixing of
fertilizers has proved to be the most eco
nomical and satisfactory method of
procuring fertilizers? It is now general
ly conceded by up-to-date agriculturists
that better results are obtained by buy
ing the crude materials and mixing ferti-
lizers especially adapted to the different
crops yon raise, and the varying condi-
tons of the soil found on the farm.
If you will send us your name on a
postal with request therefor, we will
send you free, postpaid, number of
formulas which were made up for US by
the Director of the Vermont Experiment
Station and which have been used by
many Vermont farmers with excellent
success. We will also give full directions
for mixing fertilizers adapted to all the
crops commonly raised on Vermont
farms. When writing please mention
this paper. Address CARROLL S. PAGE,
Hyde Park, VT.
