That Democratic Primary
Pledge.

The day of Independent voting is be-
ginning to dawn. The time is past
when the voter without question goes
to the polls and blindly places into Of
flee unfit men simply because they hap
pen to have the party nomination to
which he belongs; nominated perhaps
over his protest by votes controlled by
some faction or ring of the party.
The election law is strictly a party
measure and is enacted to enforce party
regularity but no good citizen should
thus place fealty to party above his
man for office even though he have
the stamp of a party nomination Some
of the strongest advocates of never
scratch a ticket" have been known to
openly vote against the party nominee.
There is absolutely no law requiring
support Of the ticket and the only
question for the individual voter to de-
eide is whether he best performs his
duty as a citizen in scratching his
ticket or in violating a pledge in now
way binding.
There are some splendid men on the
Republican ticket to be voted on
November Sth and an investigation OF
their qualifications and fitness for the
offices for which they are candidates
will convince the voter that he cannot
d. better than give them not only his
vote but his influence. Another thing;
