In my opinion the direct primary is
the only practicable method of fully
securing to the people their right to
choose their public servants
+ Under the convention system the
members of party delegate their
= power of selection of candidates to
the members OF convention To my
mind this system is most pernicious,
< because the party electorate feels
= that its responsibility ceases with the
I selection Of it's convention delegates.
! Hence the responsibility of citizen
ship is weakened and shiftlessness en-
couraged.
. AS soon as the delegates to the con-
vention are chosen the power of Sc
lection of public servants becomes
. centralized in a few and opportunity
/ is extended to individuals and inter-
ests who wish to use public servants
for selfish or Interior purposes. In
f1uences adverse to the general well
fare are Immediately brought to bear
upon this body of delegates. Fac
: tons are created, combinations af-
. fected, and party disruption frequent
ly results. Often a conventions nom
inates a man for public Office who,
prior to the convention, was never
seriously considered as a probable
nominee.
In my thirty years experience in
politics quite frequently have l seen
this the case. This strengthens my
conviction that the prevailing system
of convention selections of party can
didates is not a representative. but
misrepresentation, form of govern
ment. The people certainly have no
voice in the selection of candidates
when their temporary representatives
had no idea of making a selection
until occurrences transpiring during
the convention determine their action.
In most cases where convention
nominations are made we can trace
back to the political boss and machine
the preparation of slate of delegates.
In the selection of the individuals
composing the slate the political boss,
has in mind the perpetuation of his
own power, and selects individuals

Such was the answer of Nishimura,
a Japanese, who appeared in Judge
I.ymer's court this morning, charged
with violation of County ordinance
prohibiting the sale of decayed eat
ables, from stalls in the City Market.
He claimed that he was busy during
the "konohi" season and on that ac-
count he forgot to clean up his chic
ken stalls. After he explained his
position to His Honor, he pleaded
guilty. The Judge dealt with him
leniently.

What SPEAKER HOLSTEIN
CAN DO.

A few weeks ago the Bulle t i n
cautioned TIE aspirants for honors in
the House of Representative against
starting competition over the
Speakership that would mark the in
auguration of the session with first
class factional row.
Exercising their excellent judg-
ment, the opponents of Speaker Hol-
stein withdrew their active campaign
and it is now generally conceded that

| whose interests are identical with his
or whom he thinks he can direct and
, CONTROL though occasionally, if anti
cipating a struggle he will select a
munity will bring strength to the
slate he has prepared in order to car
ry out his purposes. Independent men
are selected only when it is deemed
necessary by the political boss to de-
ceive the public and secure sufficient
support from the personal influence OF
those few selections to carry through
the slate, made up chiefly of his will
ing tools. Mendacity and treachery
are fOstered by the convention sys-
tenn, which by the primary system
are absolutely eliminated
How different in its operation is
the direct primary! The man who
seeks the nomination under the d-
rect primary system must present be-
fore the members of his party the
policies and principles by which he
will be governed in nominated and
elected, He must submit to them his
past record in public and private
life. ~
A public servant thus chosen owes
his election to no faction machine or
boss but to the members of his party
and the electorate of his State Or dis
trict. **
The great masses. of the people ARE
not only intelligent but honest. They
have no selfish interests to serve sand
ask nothing of their public officials
but faithful efficient service. Only
the very few have interests adverse
to those of the general welfare. The
people therefore act only for the pub
lie good when they choose between
candidates for the nomination or can
didates for election.
The direct primary encourages the
people of the country to study public
questions and to observe and pass
Judgment upon the acts of their pub
lie officers. This in itself tends very
strongly to the building up of a better
citizenship. Honest selections mean
honest government and better pu bile

The price of a wsll-mounted, artic-

do with the condition Of the subject

only the barest framework is offered;

STORAGE FOWL PoIsoNs SIXTY

Cold storage chicken served at the
wedding supper of G.. NJ. Artman,
Chicago, caused ptomaine poisoning
among about sixty of the guests.
DR.. George B. Young, health COM
missioner, concluded an investiga-
ton of the affair. He refused to give
the name of the concern which sold
the chicken, saying, at might hurt
their business" No prosecution will
be instituted.
The chicken was served in a salad.
On the morning after the supper
nearly every one who had eaten of it
became i'll. Those who had not par
taken of the salad were unaffected.
That circumstance, in the opinion
of DR.. Young, fixed the guilt upon
the chicken.

the Thirtieth ward was one of the

used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago,
and now stats that the cure was
lasting.

that the regulation of liquor selling and
stealing is easy as sneezing. License
either and the bad results are reduced
to a minimum. Limit tho quantity OF

will adhere to. the regulation with the
most scrupulous care. Limit the amount
to be stolen-well, say, SHOW does q

fellow said when he settled with the man
he caught in a compromising situation
with his wife. And there is another sub
iect for license. Bomb throwing, too, is
in line for license while We are In the

Limit the number of bombs to be thrown
by any one man. And so we might 60

Surprised His Sister.


Mrs. Addison Gilman of Madison was
given a genuine surprise when her broth
or, Perley Flanders, whom she had not
seen or heard from for % years and sup
posed dead, called at her home. MIR.
Flanders, who is we'll known resident
in Bethel, was in Bangor last week on
business trip. While there he picked up
one of the local papers, and in looking
over the news from his old home In
Cornville, noticed an item that his two
half sisters were called to Madison by
the critical illness of Mrs. Gilman. Mr.
Flanders decided to investigate, thinking
possibly this might be his long lost sis
Ter. When he left home Mrs. G iimar
was girl in her teens, and soon after
the family was broken up and scattered
by the death of the parents. Although
both brother and sister have been resi-
dents of Maine all the time, up to last
week they had not known of each Others
whereabouts.

Fires In Oxford County.

Early In the morning of Saturday, the
goth, the farm buildings Of G. B. Crook
or in South Andover were burned. The
family were awakened by the fire, and
had only time to escape in their night
clothes. Only few articles of furniture
and little bedding were saved. The
loss includes, besides the buildings, q
horse, COW and calf, hens, hay, wagons,
harness, farming utensils, etc. Tho
cause OF the fire is unknown. There
was an insurance of $3.50 In Wheeler's
agency at South Paris.
The mill Of Elmer Worthley at Dick
vale, in the town OF Peru, where he
manufactured lumber and spool stock,
was burned Wednesday evening from
some unknown cause. Only q small in
surance. The light of this fire was seen
for long distance, being plainly observ-
ed at South Paris. This is the second
mill Mr.. Worthley has had burned with
In a few months.
The stable of Edwin Merrill on Main
Street, Dixfield, was burned Thursday
afternoon. Two hogs were burned with
IL, and driving horse was got out with
difficulty. The house was connected
with the stable, and it was only by hard
work on the part OF the fremen that II
was saved. At first it seemed that the
house was doomed, and 1t was cleared.
Mr.. Merrill was at the time at work on
the road in distant part Of the town.
It Is thought the fire was set by children
playing with matches. There was nc
insurance on the stable.
