ed to come to this city as the FIRST

progressive steps which the directors

Says Caucus System Robs Small Towns
- Asserts Larger Participation by
Voters Would Stimulate Interest in
Public Matters
Editor of The Reformcr:

Editor of The Reformcr:-
What is the direct primary! 1t is Il
method of selecting the candidates of
the several parties by direct vote OF
the people in the same manner as we
now elect officers. 1t does away with
the delegates and conventions so far as
nominating candidates is concerned 1t
aims to get recorded the exact choice
of each individual voter. IN other
words, by it, the people do their bust
ness of selecting candidates and public
officials without the help of the men
who think they are our guardians, the
politicians.
The system would work out IN this
way: One who wishes to run for Office
secures a certain number of signers to
petition asking that his name be put
upon the ballot of his party for that
office. The primary election is held Il
certain number of days before the gen
eral election. The selection of the can
didate of all the parties is made on the
same day and ut the same time The
mines of the candidates receiving the
nominations OF their party 20 on the
ballots for tie general election.
The primary election idea originated
in Crawford county, Pennsylvania, in
1860, when il was established by the
action of the Republican county com
mittee. 1t has since come into general
use, SO that there are now only a half
dozen OF the states which have not re-
pudiated and east aside the boss-con.
trolled caucus system and adopted the
nomination by direct vote plan.
Direct Primary's Advantages.
Selecting candidates by direct vote
would help the people of the small
towns to get their Just share of Official
representation. It is notorious fact
that the caucus system results in rob

Some of the Objections.

Ii is well to consider some of the
objections to the direct primary which
have been urged.
]. 1t is said a direct primary simply
means another election. If it is proper
to expend money for an election to
ratify the choice of the politicians at
caucus time it is surely proper ana nee
essary to expend money to get at the
exact will of the people. The amount
which the state would spend for the
primary election would not equal one
fourth the amount which is expended
by the people of the state for caucusses
and. conventions. In the past the poll
ticians have been willing to nominate
in their own way for nothing and let
the state spend money to put an 30.
*. on their. work.
.. 1t is claimed by some that the
primary plan makes it possible for
only men of means to wage such Il cam
paign as is necessary. This argument
must, however, be regarded as joke
in this state. During this generation
one man has been nominated for gov
crnor only after the use of fifty thous-
ard dollars; another by the expenditure
of one hundred thousand dollars, and
q third by two hundred thousand dol
lars, and Vermont has only about sixty
thousand voters. \ list of governors
elected in primary election states shows
them almost invariably to be men OF
moderate means. and to have been nom
mated by the legitimate expenditure
| of moderate amounts.
/ }. Then again it is claimed that the
/ direct primary fayors popnlous eenters
over rural communities. Statements to
/ that effect are absolutely without
/ Foundation and have been disproyed
over and over again in more than II
states. 1t is easy enough to prove by
| figures how two or three large towns
4 by voting together can out-vote the
smaller towns, based always on the
| theory that these large towns will vote
/ together. But the voters of these town:
| will not DO so. Witness the fact thai
u large majority of the present day
| governors. in primary states are no

OF
The
WhitlOck
Child

Its stomach was drawn into a knot
and the throat was so contracted no
antidote could be gotten down 1t. Nor
Z any OF the contents Of the stomach
could be gotten up. After giving up in
despair, the father thought Of the Osteo-
path and in desperation took it to the
DR.. A. T. Still Osteopathic Infirmary.
DR.. Ira W. Collins took the child and put
his finger on the nerves to the stomach
and deadened it and dilated the stomach
and it threw the contents out. Milk
was given it to drink which Immediately
curdled and DR.. Collins would hold the
nerve down so it could swallow and
then repeat the throwing up process,
until its stomach was entirely cleansed
And with the exception of a tender
stomach for a few days, the child Is
as well now as ever.
This was quite a surprise to many
who wonder what an Osteopath would
do in case Of poisoning. But tIe Osteo-
path with d vast experience like Dr.
Collins, Is equal to every emergency And
handled tins Just as he does a pair Of
OvertaZed lungs in pneumonia; Just d.
lates them and throws the accumulation
Of poison out. Just the same IT a pair
Of eongested kidneys in BIigbts disease.
Or a cramping appendix. Or over taxed
heart or a heaving ssthmatic.
They can cure more diseases than any
other method and besides don't often
get a chance until after they have been
given up by others. Then how much
easier in the first place; but they cure
you so quick when you 90 to them first
you can't think you were so bad sick
as you were So go to them first and
take no chances on being one Of the 70
out of every 20 that die from the drugs
instead Of the disease.
This Whitlock child had drank the
contents Of a bottle of face wash, q
deadly poison.
Poisonous drugs are Just as fatal, no
matter if given by a doctor or taken
accidental, so don't hope to get health
from poisons, but 60 to the DR.. A. 7.
