THURSDAY. FEBRUARY /. 1912

Ben Tweedy, candidate fol-
governor onthe republican nom.
nation toboggan, doesn't think
It right to form "Haines clubs
and "Clagstone clubs" to ad.
vance the candidacy OF Others.
He thinks it O violation OF "the
spirit OF the direct primary law. -
We think Ben is right in his sur
mise, and incidentally it is "a little
hard on Ben.
Ben's only chance OF a nominal
ton lies in the direct primary.
NO seli-respecting republican con-
vention would ever think OF per-
petrating such a joke on the peo-
pie. But the last direct primary
perpetrated several such Jokes
on "A long suffering people. L,
gave us Bailey and Brady and
Berry and Bradley and Cakes
and some more alleged "repre-
sentatives OF the P-E.E.P-U-L."
some OF these, fortunately, were

which is generally in red.
The Herald frankly admits that
10 wants to see the direct pri-
mary law violated. 1t also ad-
mits that it is usually in favor OF
strictly enforcing u law that is
detrimental to the welfare of the
people, in order TO secure its re-
peal. but this one suits us too
harmed well. IL has now been in
lorce Two years and has cost the
taxpayers millions OF dollars be-
cause OF the incompetence OF the
officials elected because of il.
The direct primary is the direct
cause OF the present legislature,
and II you want to 60 further 60
ind a more shining example OF
lncompetence-for which the peo-
pie have to pay dearly--you have
"A long road TO travel.
The Herald thinks that Mr..
Tweedy is justified in kicking
about the violation OF the spirit
OF the direct primary law, and
hopes that all good republicans
who believe in decent govern
ment will continus to give him
cause TO kick.
