lieve that the socialists are that
kind of voters.
The primary law should be
amended so that something like
a majority vote be received by
a candidate before he is nomin-
ated, and this can best be done
by requiring that a candidate re-
ceive good percentage of the
vote cast or else that first and
second choice be indicated where
more than two candidates aspire
to the same office and then add
the first and second choice votes
together to arrive at the true de-
sire of the voters. This would
be much fairer than for a small
plurality to dictate to a large
majority. To many good citizens
the old convention plan is infn-
itely better than the present pri-
mary law.

The Revolutionary Calendar.

In September, 1898, the French
convention decreed that the COM
mon era should be abolished in all
civil affairs and that the new French
era should begin on Sept. %, 1892,
and that each succeeding year
should begin at midnight of the day
on which the true autumnal equinox
falls. The year was divided into
twelve months of thirty days each.
In ordinary years there were five
extra days, and every fourth year a
sixth complementary day. The reck-
oning was used till Dec. 81, 1906,
when it was discontinued by order
of Napoleon.

PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

Inc UrSL primary feleCllOIl LII
the state of Montana has beer
held and the people have hae
their first opportunity Of observ
ing how it works. Some un
doubtedly approve of the man
ner in nominating officials anc
some, no doubt, disapprove. One
feature which seems to be not as
it should can be observed by a
comparison of the vote by which
some of the candidates received
their nominations with the vote
in general for that Office. Take
for example the vote on sheriff
for the democratic nomination.
Taking the vote for county at
torney on the democratic ticket
as a measure of the total vote
cast it will be seen that 1869
votes were cast by that party.
The high vote which nominated
the candidate for sheriff was for
Albert Marion .248, that is S21
democrats were for somebody
else, and still he gets the NOM
ination. The same condition pre-
walls for the republican nomina-
ton where John E. Cannon re-
ceived 1873 votes, while $40 voters
favored the other candidates.
This feature of the law allows a
small minority to prevail over a
large majority. No other result
could be expected under the plan
of nominating candidates, espec-
tally when more than two aspire
for the same office. Where only
two candidates are pitted for the
same Office majority vote must
nominate but where more than
two appear a small plurality is
just as good as a majority vote.
Objection is raised in some
localities against the law for the
reason that voters of one party
are permitted to name the can
didates of the opposing party. 1t
is charged that voters of one
party vote the other ticket to
name weak candidates for GER
tain offices, thus giving their own
party candidate an unfair advan-
tage. Just how much this prac-
tice prevailed is difficult to say.
The voters generally prefer a
different method entirely. After
a short canvass Of the voters it
was found that a great majority
are in favor of placing all the
candidates on one ticket and al
lowing each voter to express his
preference from among all the
party candidates. Of course, this
really amounts to an elimination
contest but where such is the law
it has been found to work out to
the advantage Of all concerned.
This obliterates party nominal
lions but no one will object very
much to that, in county affairs.
What the voters desire most is
to be able to nominate the man
they think best qualified for the
office, not the party, and to be
able to do this each one must
have the opportunity of voting
for any man on any ticket. Pol
iticians will object to this method
of placing men in office because
it annihilates their profession
and that is why SO many voters
are in favor of the headless bal
lot. Generally speaking, the
common voter has no party. He
is for the man. This does not
apply to the socialists, as they
have no men: it is principle with
them, according to the state
ments made by those who should
know or at least by those who
are in authority in Missoula. The
chief high mogul Of the socialist,
in Missoula affirms that the mem
bers of that party in Missoula
