ADJUDICATION.

Governor Brady's triumph in the
primaries was absolutely deserved.
He has proved to be painstaking
and conscientious public official.
and there was no reason why he
should not be accorded the compli-
ment of nomination for a second
term-a time honored precedent so
far as the governorship of the state
is concerned. Had he failed in his
duty TO the people there would have
been some excuse for opposition 20
his denomination Two years is a
short time in which a public Official
may stamp his personality upon the
affairs Of state The first term is,
as a matter of fact, nearly always q
preliminary to the accomplishment
of great things during the second
term. The official, during his first
term. is feeling his ground and paw
ing the way This applies as much
to the president of the United States
as to the governor of a statee. Since
the primary election, Governor Brady
has outlined his views and policies
in such a Straightforward and manly
way and has pledged himself so faith
fully to work for the general welfare
Of the people that anyone reading
his remarks cannot fail but be inn
pressed with his sincerity, and that
he will devote his second term solely
IN the interest of the people and IN
the direction of building up the
states resources is an assured fact.

The selection of candidates for of
flee by direct vote of the people is,
essentially. a step in the direction Of
eliminating corruption from public
life. The Primary Election law.
therefore. should be made as simple
as possible in order that the voter Of
average intelligence may readily in
terpret the same and be able to cast
his ballot with reasonable assurance
that it will be counted The present
law appears cumbersome. espec-
tally insofar as the second choice
feature is concerned This section Of
the law should be repealed at the
coming session of the legislature.
second choice should be optional but
not mandatory.
Here In the Mountain Home pre-
cinct. which may reasonably be sup
posed to be no different than any 9TH
er, a great many ballots proved to
be defective on account of the second
choice feature There we're 215 re-
publican votes cast here Tuesday
Out of these but 10 were counted
for governor. showing a loss of 40
votes, or almost one-fifth of the total
vote Another objection to the
second choice is that it permits abuse
of the ballot and puts additional ami
unnecessary labor upon the election
officials
Fof instance. at least twenty-five
different persons received a second
choice vote on the democratic ticket
for state senator. These names were
inserted at random and in a spirit of
buffoonery. but their insertion made
the work of counting the ballots ex-
tsemely difficult. What was true OF
IRE vote on state senator was true to
almost as great an extent on every
other important office for which
there was a candilatc.
The primary election law should
also be amended 50 that the countins
OF ballots may be commenced as SCOT
as fifty votes have been cast. This

pie to have line on the result a

The primary campaign fortunate
". was conducted i'm such manner
as to leave but little soreness on
the part of those who were unsuccess-
full at the poles Except i'm a few iso-
lated instances there was no personal
abuse; therefore, after the smoke of
battle has cleared away the repub-
licans of Idaho will be found march
ing shoulder to shoulder presenting
an unbroken RANK to the general
enemy This is as it should be.
Friendly rivalry in politics, as i'm
everything else, brings out the best
there is in man. After the fray.
the spirit of Let the best man win,
is uppermost in the minds of the A.
merican people, who rally under the
banner of the victor, and this is the
spirit which has placed America in
the front rank of the world powers.
That same spirit will prevail i'm Idaho

SECOND CHOICE FARCE

The second choice feature of the
direct primary law of Idaho as con-
strued by the supreme court is a
farce-but not a funny one. II IS
CHASTITY The supreme court held it
was compulsory TO vote second choice.
The voters did so, but in order TO
give their first choices a protection
the supreme court denied, they wrote
in their second choices This not only
upset the theory upon which the ST.
preme court dictum rests, but it
made the count so complicated and
laborious that if future primary elec-
tiOns shall be conducted along similar
lines it is doubtful if anyone will con-
sent to act in the capacity of judge.
The second choice idea follows the
convention Plan Of a majority over
all, but the law Itself departs from
the convention plan by providing for
a plurality selection on second choice
canvas It was the idea of the legis-
lature that a portion of the voters
would desire to indicate a second
choice for various reasons, but it un-
doubtedly was not the intention that
the second choice vote should be com
pulsory Such an injunction is tcnta-
mount to compelling the voter to voTe
gainst his first choice if he voted
for regularly nominated candidates.
In order to obviate this possibility
the voters very generally wrote in
names There was no idea of electing
any whose names were written IN
The voter felt he was amply justified
In so circumventing the perfectly abb
sttr1 anncfrfaffnp of court
There should be a general demand
for amendment of the primary law
so as to make the second choice pro-
vision optional. No real harm would
be done if it should be eliminated,
but If it is to be retained it certainly
should not be compulsory.
