McNu,ty Saws Primaries Failure

In his swan song" Judge McNul
ty, recent candidate for congress
in this district, makes some peril
nent remarks about primaries. He
says. in part, in the Aberdeen News:
I'm conclusion, | wish TO say that
experience has shown that the pri.
mary Of every kind we have tried
has proved to be a waste of energy
and money, a burden Of strife and a
disrupter of organized parties.
While creating animosity and
discussion in the community, it has
wholly failed to bring about the re-
forms which were expected from 1t.
The convention and caucus system
met the emergencies of the past. 1t
gave to the nation Abraham Lincoln,
in the greatest crisis the nation has
ever met. II is doubtful if a pri-
mary would have done as well
Abuses grew up around the caucus
and convention, but these could have
been removed by careful and wise
legislation, and | believe that it Is
the duty of the legislature to restore
to the people of the state the bene-
fits of the convention, regulated Ev
law and shorn of the abuses that
grew up around the old voluntary
caucus
The ticket as nominated is the
legally selected Republican ticket

port. Frank McNultv."
