Coin Harvey Thinks Solicitations In Poll

Monte Ne, Ark, Sept. 4th-W. H.
(Coinl Harvey, in reply to the many
renuests that he he candidate for
Congress in the approaching Demo
cratic primaries gives out tnefollow-
ing statement:
Before the time of our primary
system, delegates met in convention
and discussed the merits of different
men and then nominated and often
brought out a candidate who was
not seeking the nomination, an able
man, who would not push himself,
but would push a cause, with ahil-
itv, when selected to do so. 1t he
Camc practice, howev for selfish
interests to pack conventions and,
rightly, they have been abandoned.
Our primary system is distinctlvelv
better than the convention system
but with the one weakness pointed
out While the primary system is
the best and only proper method IN
a free government, there should be
some method of sitting and getting
the best men, several Of them, out
for each Office, for the primaries to
select from. Now, the custom with
US is for each man to announce hun
self, initiate himself This to me
smacks of egotism. At an electorate
of the primary we go into the booth
to vote and the candidates for the
legislature, for instance, are men who
have inflated themselves; we may
think none of them capable but must
vote for one or two, as The case, may
be; when if we had some custom 10y
which those eligabe were considered
and brought out by a considerable
number of people we would get bet
ter candidates to select from. Men
announcing themselves for office
must feel this weakness i'll our sys-

A reputable lawyer and a rcpu-
table doctor, will not ask people to
employ them, but once employed all
their ability is exerted in behalf OF
their client or patient; and so 1t is
with many efficient men who might
be emplo, cd by the people IN the
way of filing offices In Missouri, !
am told, the law makes a petition
necessary to present candidate ior
