The Workings of the Primary Law

The people of Wyoming have had a trial of the Primary law and
from all that we can learn they are not very well pleased with it
The Sun thinks that if the people generally will look over their no,
limitations closely they will find that they get Ii better results in the
way of candidates under the Primary law, (Which was supposed to LET
the people make their choice directly than they did under the old
convention system, and besides the machinery is vastly more cum
bersome and uncertain in its results.
The only thing to recommend the Primary law is the fact that il
keeps the two parties apart in their choice for candidates. Each
man has to declare himself, and call for either a democratic or re-
publican ticket, and he is not able TO write the name of a republican
on a democratic ticket and make it stick. This is an improvement
over the old convention system, where democrats were wont to attend
Republican primaries and vote for republican candidates. Wby
they would do this no one has ever been able to explain, but thai
they would do it no one will dispute. In the primary election
just held many democrats voted for republican candidates, but ac
cording to the rulings of the attorney general and also i'll the opinion
of Senator Blume, the Trainer of the law, that vas clearly against the
law. The Sun has to confess that this is the only good thing il
can ee about the primary law now n our statutes.

STORES AND BUSINESS HOUSES

The stores of all kinds and the meat
shops of the city have all been stock
ing up for the Christmas holidays.
That Little Falls possesses some
artistic window decorations of. 10
mean ability in all of the several de-
partment, notion, grocery, hardware
and jewelry stores is attested by the
various window displays. Probably the
niftiest and most artistic in effect of
the e:window displays is the one at the
Water Power company office. One of
the windows contains the various light
ing fixtures such as shades, reading
lamps and colored lights. The other
window arrangement holds all Of the
cooking appliances and electrical de-
vices which tend to decrease and make
more pleasant the work of the house.
wife Of today. The articles arranged
in such manner as to give the best
effect and the display is aided by an
appropriate background Of colored
lights.
Each Of the stores have some
speciality line in which they have
some especially fine Christmas bar
gains. With some of the stores the
speciality counter is burdened with
toys for the youngsters, the jewelry
stores carry very large and especially
fine gifts which are of the kind more
acceptable to the grown up people;
the hardware dealers are offering some
very inducive prices on the class Of
goods which they handle; the novelty
stores are right in line with the rest
Of them when it comes to the handling
Of Christmas goods as they have a
stock from which gifts for the most
exacting can be selected with GER
tainty of giving pleasure; the grocers
are. not to be outdone by the other
dealers since they have added to the
regular stock sweets, nuts and luscious
fruits for Christmas day.
The meat dealers are very proud Of
the bargains they have to offer to
their customers in their line Of food.
The shoppers Of Little Falls may we'll
congratulate themselves that they
are residents of this instead of the
surrounding towns and cities for all of
the choice cuts in meat and also the
regular cuts can be purchased from
the local meat dealers for several
cents less than in the greater number
Of surrounding cities. Sliced ham,
bacon and little pig sausage are the
most expensive of meats. and retail at
20 cents per pound from the local
meat shops. Turkeys, dressed, reail for
IS cents per pound while chickens
bring 1917 and geese IS cents pei

ia HAVE SIGNED llSI.'
NUMBER OF sIaNERs NOT AS
LARGE AS DEsIRED-MoKE
NAMES WANTED

The question Of whether or not Lit
tie Falls can furnish sufficient labor
with which to operate shirt factory
has practically been answered by the
manner in which the call for girls who
wish employment in such factory
was received. Although but little ad-
vertising was given the matter, by
noon Thursday ia names had been
signed at the several places having
lists.
The girls who signed their names
signifying their willingness to work
in the factory, if Little Falls is. to
have it, did so with no urging on the
part Of the business men but in re-
sponse to the call for names. If a
canvass were made in the city it is
not improbable that about three hun
dred names could be secured.
Secretary Of Commercial club, A. e..
Vernon, states that. communication
will be made with Guiterman Bros.
telling them Of the success with which
the call has been met and also send
ing them correct copy Of the list if
necessary in order that they may
know that the names were not faxed,
but signed by their possessors, they
may send an affidavit.
With the showing made in the call
for labor combined with the cheap
power rate and other things which
make Little Falls suitable place for
factory Of that kind, we should have
very good show for having the
factory established here.
Those wishing to add their names to
the list may sign their names at any
of the following places: G. H. Brown g
Drug store, Martin Engstrom' con-
fectionary store, Julius Jetka g hard
ware store, Victor Clothing company
store, Beattie' g confectionery store, or
by mailing their names to the secretary
of the commercial club.
