How to Vote at the Primary.

Ex.State Treasurer Hastings
describes the new primary law, and
this should be read By every cit
izen who expects to vote at the
nomination primaries to be held
in july
AT the regular session Of the
legislature (nos the special) vir.
tually new primary law was en-.
acted, II has heen proven that
our first law was not bowling
success, and whether a direct pri.
mary law will be success Is still
a question with great many peo-
pie, for under any and all events
the execution Of the laws and the
faithful performance III the duties
required Of an officer depend upon
himself and not the method by
which he was elected, and upon
the officer depends whether the
laws are q bowling success or a
dismal failure for the intent Of al
most every law placed upon the
statute books Is to DO for the bene-
tit Of the people, but not always
successfully so, however.
One Of the principal changes
made in the primary laws is the
date Of holding the primaries,
which this year is the last Tues
day Of July, almost a month earlier
than under the old law.
Another one Of the principal
changes is in the form of the bal.
lot.
Last year all names were enter.
ed on the ballot in alphabetical
order, and this was estimated to
be worth, by various states which
have tried the plan, from ten to
twenty-five per cent Of the vote to
the person whose name headed
the list Of any particular office,
The new law provides that the
position Of the names shall be
changed in each office division
as many times as there are cand.
didates, in the office division, or
groups in which there are most
names. The intent is that the
printer shall print, say in printing
10000 ballots, with five candidates
as the greatest number Of candi.
dates for any office, 200O according
to the list handed him by the
county auditor; then drop name
No. | and place il at the bottom
Of the list; this would bring No. 2
first on the second 1000 ballots.
then drop again bringing name
No 3 Of the first 1000 into the
first position on the third 1000 is.
sued; and SO on until each candi
date holds five places. Then
after the ballots are printed and
before they are cut they must be
placed in separate piles; then take
one from each pile; the intent
being that every other ballot shall
have the names in different pos
ition. Then they must be placed
in blocks of 100 ballots each and
changed again. This method
