CHANGED HIS MIND.

A writer in the Blue Earth Post
who frankly admits that he "worked
and fought for the primary law" con-
cedes that he was mistaken and that
the expensive and bungling measure
should be repealed. Among other
things the Blue Earth man says:
''When we go to the primary, what
power do we have? Simply to, vote
for some man who has showed him.

money, to become candidate.

sought he, or they may be, we can
vote for them or not at all.
"True we can write in a name but
what does lot of scattering votes
amount to? A simple waste of
effort.
'There is no possibility of the
office seeking the man, as the one
possible to nominate, is the self
seeker who has fled and paid for the
privilege. Do you like this, or had
you rather confer with your equals
and select some man for the place?
Then, again, it entirely shuts out
the men of moderate means from
any possibility of winning an impor-
tant office. Take for illustration
the candidates for governor in the
recent primaries. Each spent thou
sands of dollars in the contest and
those nominated must spend thou
sands more before the election. If
this is true, and no man can dispute
it, what show does the man Of or

"Doy you wish to put all the offices in
the hands of the wealthy or in those
of men who are willing to sell them

campaign? This is up to the voters.
IF that is the kind of men they
want they should stick to the pri-
mary, for that will surely bring this

But it means a strong pull and pull

Ashland, has name abroad more

aware OF. Many times in our travels
on the cars and in hotels and other
places we have heard people say:
"And you are from Ashland Beau
tiful place up in the foothills; best
fruit and water ever tasted; beauti-
full. You are not hunting better
place, surely" And we always tell
them we can't find better in all our

Farmers League
Adopts Constitution

The Jackson County Farmers and
Fruit Growers League, which was
recently organized to aid the inter-
ests of the Jackson county agricul-
turists, adopted their constitution
this week. According to the Medford
Tribune we find that any person en-
gagged in any kind of farming in Jack
son county is eligible to the league.
The meetings will afford an op-
portunity for fruit growers and farm
ers to discuss phases of horticulture
and agriculture. Those wishing to
join the organization must make ap-
plication to the secretary of the
league, accompanying their applica-
tion with 81. A three-fourths vote
of those present at the next meeting
of the board of directors will elect
the applicant
There are no regular dues except
that the directors have power to levy
an annual assessment not to exceed
81 per year. An annual meeting will
be held by the members of the league
the first Monday in May, and special
meetings can be called at any time
at the request of ten members. The
board of directors consists of the Of
ficials of the league and fifteen other
members.
