PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES

Overcome by the stampede among
the republicans Of Weld county for
Roosevelt, the machine had to SUBJ
init to the presidential primary.
The straw vote taken by the Trib-
ane indicates that the republicans
here are at least five to one in favor
OF Roosevelt for the presidential
nominee. yet had not the followers
Of Roosevelt taken tee bit in their
teeth there would have been a solid
Taft delegation sent to the state
convention. Thus, without the pri-
mary, there would he about one
fifth Of the republican voters or less
in the county who were truly rep
resented while four-fifths would
have been called upon to abide by "A
ruling Of the minority. which is rep
resented by the machine.
Because the Roosevelt followers
did not get busy quickly enough, 1t
is probable that the republicans Of
Colorado. the vast majority OF
whom are inclined to he progress
sive, will send a majority Of dele
gates to the national convention
pledged to Taft.
The republicans are the ones in
dire need Of the primaries this year,
because there ~ no such well de-
fined issue in the democratic ranks.
The democrats have more good ma
tea.ial from which to select a presi-
Dental candidate than they have
ever had. There has been no clash
over the preference SO far, and
probably will not he, but the demo
cratic party should adopt the presi'
Dental preferential primary just
