voters as to their party affiliations

voters as to their party affiliations
proves its unpopularity.
By an act Of the last legislature.
each voter is compelled to write his
name in a public register under party
heading before he iss permitted to cast
his vote. The registers are made a
part of the public records at county
seats, open to inspection and to COM
parison with the voters party choice
at the general election following the
primary.
The new law represents an effort to
prevent members of one political party
from voting at primaries for candidates
of another party. Its real effect, ac-
cording to the experiences of Tuesday,
is to prevent honest voters from parti-
cipating in primaries, without acting
as check upon the other class.
The conscientious man who feels that
he may want to vote for one or more
candidates on the opposition ticket at
the general election objects to placing
himself on record as hide bound ad-
herant of his own party. while the man
not so conscientious will register under
any party heading and take his chance
at the general election.
Really the person who votes one way
at the primary and the other way at the
general election takes no chances. as
punishment cannot be visited upon him
for exercising constitutional right to
vote Tor whom he chooses.
But many persons remained away
from the polls. within the knowledge Of
The Huronite at Tuesdays election,
because they would not pledge them
selves N advance TO help elect all the
candidates of a party who might secure
ma ority vote at the primary.
The saw attempts to place restric-
lions on the voter that are abnoxious,
that prevent him from exercising the
rights Of citizenship in making an I'M
influenced selection Of men for official
positions. besides impairing the guar
anteed secrecy of the ballot.
The Independent voter is almost as
numerous as the party bound voter and
the independent voter wants all the
latitude that his conscience may de-
nand.
SO II transpired on election day that
many voters refused to participate in
the nominating primaries because they
would not commit themselves to re-
striction against which their sense Of
right revolted.

Both the Taft and Roosevelt mana
gers claim pledged delegates enough
to nominate their man but the plain
fact seems to be that neither one has
enough to nominate on the first bal.
lot. Roosevelt certainly has not, and
it grows more manifest that the only
way he can get the delegates is to un-
fairly unseat those regularly elected,
OF to secure them by other indirect
and improper means. In this event,
the nomination would be of no value
because the voters would repudiate it
at the election.

Once more the farmer hears that he's
the back bone of his native land, and
men in SLOUGH hats loudly praise the
.hareness of his horny hand; the worker
in the shop is told that he deserves the
best there is; as for the soldier, bent
and old priceless heritage is his; the
humble toiler in the ditch is lauded for
his sterling worth, but every body hates
the rich and wants to chase them off

TUESDAY CONTESTS ARE CLOSE

TUESDAY ONTESTS ARE CLOSE
Today from returnss over South Da-
kota are not sufficiently complete TO
warrant definite conclusion as to
the result OF Tuesday's primary cleo
tion.
1t can be said with tolerable Ger
taInty that Byrne has been nominal.
cd for governor by a plurality OF
something like 5000. Egan's strong
holds of two years ago generally cut
him.
The result in the state on presiden-
tial delegates is in doubt and 1t can
be said only that it looks as though
Roosevelt is ahead.
On the senatorial matter Gamble
received a plurality of 900; Sterling
second, Richards third.
Results in the congressional dis
tricts: Dillon has .. 600 ma jority in the
First and Burke has 1900 plurality
il the Second. Martin, in Third, was
given q majority of 400.
E. L. Abel is also winner from all
indications, and, while nothing COM
plete has been received regarding his
candidacy, all that is known shows
big votes for Mr.. Abel for lieutenant
governor.
For treasurer, the Indications fav-
or Ewert, though this is not consid-
cred certain.
ForSecretary of State the result is
in doubt. Indications are that the
race is between Glasner and Hopper
lie, with chances favoring the former.
Late repors state that Glasner Is the
winner; his plurality is said to be
near the 1000 mark.
The result of balloting in Hughes
county at Tuesdays primaries is as
follows:
Dalton, SIG; Riggs, 4e1: Quale, 512;
Wood, 5s2; Laughlin. 5s4; Downing,

1t was fairly certain at the time
that the manifesto Of Prophet Smith
of the Mormon hierarchy committing
the church to partisanship in the re-
cent election was going to precipitate
trouble, not only for the church but
also for the state. Considering the
sagacity and competency the church
has usually exercised in Its affairs
that manifesto was singularly stupid

In choosing President Taft and his
party for allies, at a time when their
total overthrow was known to be in
evitable, a lack of ordinary foresight,
has been shown that at first blush
seems to verge on mental irresponsi-
bility. There must, however, be rea-
sons for such course more important
than those that affect the average cit
izen. One reason, for example, may
be found in the fear of Democratic re-
moval of sugar protection. y The Nor
