Every farmer should at once become

the soil, the kind of seed to select,

of his crop when produced.

SIGNS.

Villa is the only rebel leader who
has kept his head. He realizes to join
with Huerta against the United States
would be to lose by one act the result
of months Of tiresome campaigning.
Carranza's note to President Wilson
was i'll advised and probably has
been withdrawn If the state depart
ment cared to take the public into
its confidence. Villa has advised Car
rama rightly. 1t would be suicidal at
this time for the Constituencies to
make Huerta's troubles theirs.
BY maintaining absolute neutrality,
the rebels, have everything to gain
and nothing to lose.
Unless later reports change cOndi-
tions materially the advice of Villa
will be followed.

UGeERiNc THE PRIMARY.

Minnesota at present is the best
spot in the Union to study the uses
and abuses Of the primary system.
Our friends the admirers of the pri.
mary system should turn a weather
eye toward the manipulations going
on In the North Star state under the
cloak of the primary.
In order to checkmate the Minnes0.
Ia insurgents who held an elimination
party and narrowed down the opposi.
ton to; Governor Eberhart to one man,
the organization behind Eberhart has
brought out a third candidate by the
name, OF srRaab who lives in Duluth.
.:Of course the object is plain.
There is a second choice feature in
the Minnesota primary and the hope
of Mr.. Eberhart is that Raab will be
eliminated first in the count and
smear" his second choice votes to
Eberhart and divide his opponents
strength by first choice votes.
=. The second choice feature of the
Minnesota law differs widely from the
.!Oie that obtained at the last primar-
les in this state. In Minnesota it is
not the sun Of the first and second
votes that counts. The v second
40 - -H E
choice votes do not count until the
candidate of his first Choice has been
eliminated. '
That is, the low candidate is elinri:
mated and then the second choice
votes of those who voted first choice
for the eliminated candidate are, dis.
tributed among the various cahdi-
dates as they we're cast. H.,
In other words q voters second
choice votes are rtver counted until
his first choice has been eliminated.
In that way, the danger of defeating
the first choice votes is not so liable
as under the former North Dakota
system. both plans. however, iare
bad enough.
Two years ago, the friends of Gov.
ernor Eberhart induced a man by the
name of Falk to enter the primaries.
He was low man, but when eliminat-
ed he sent a number of second choice
votes to Eberhart. i, ~,
Thus do evils multiply as we'll un.
der the primary system and more so
than under the convention; system.
