| b'ste - Tie worst kind of q farca
ana il furnishes the best demonstra.
ton we know of showing the detri.
mental effect of the political isms
VITA which the peop.e of this state
and nattan have gone mad during
late years.
New parties have been formed and
candidates have sprung these new
lsins as ruse TO get votes and
1t seems that hund.' ds Of thousands
oi voters thhroughout the c5untr,
have fell for It,"
There are entirely too many ex.
perlments--and cSstly ones too--bp.
Ing uiei in politics nowadays and
II is high time that the people Eei
back to safe and sane politics again
In this county, rs We. as els,.
where, there was absolutely no par,
ty oppression in the selection Of can.
dtdates, at the primaries. The pri.
mary law not only makes 1t expen.
siNe to the candidates, but it also
heaps heavy burden upon the tax.
PAYERS The law makes it easy for
the political corruptionist and it
should be repealed
The old convention system with
G!I its evils, is far superior to the
present primary law.
Here are few extracts from Ne.
yada newspapers on the subject:
The operation CT the present prl
mary law pecesata.es the expendi-
tre Of sey,rai thousand dollars that
nast b. borne by the countlcs

expense, ana . strong argument can

II has bec& declared that the pra.
nary law has sounded the deR,,
Hnol of machine politics, but II
Won be hard to prove that assertion
, with the present law In effect ES
erythiag Is in the favor or rhC
machine. while under the cid coz
yentian system the nomination OF
candidates was done in the open. II
Is true that machines were in force
but they were no stronger than thty
are today. y.-1onopah Bonanza
The late primary election has not
only proven unsatisfactory, but ex.
| penslre both to the counties, the
state aid the candidate There is
| no reason advanced from any sourc.
that has been logical for taxing tlc
candidates fer office. Back to tha
conventions is the sensible plan
/ gla number of legislative mem.
aers have already announced their
intention Of wip!ng or the state
State a lot Of useless laws, among
them the present primary The pco.

The result OF tho amended pri,
mary election law as tried out IN
mis- county is far from satisia actary
to the average voter. and II IS
really worth the tremendous cost to
The taxi ers of the county. 1t Is
probable nat the primary election
r. st the state of Nevada at least
| $4,000, and the probabilities are
thar In every county in the state
whore there was n hot contest, II
was settled by voters from the oppo.
site party, All of which goca to
show that the present primary law
lacks much of being a perfect instru.
ment.-Ely Record.
Nearly every newspaper In Neva
da IS severely condemning the new
pr'mary election law, and the con
demnaticn Is deserved and proper
II permits ef all kinds of fraud t.
be enacted at primaries, as WAS don(
~ nearly every voting precinct IN
the state-Wells Herald.
The reports Cf the recent primary
c.ec tgl as given in the various pa

, the present primary law is a failure
and does not correct l,ie evils that i
