NOT A BAD PLAN.

/ That a state wide primary for the
nomination of state officers has not
proved the success it should is gen
orally believed and that some plan
must he devised TO correct certain
evils connected with it is generally
conceded
The fact that q man By the nam
OF Adams, totally unknown aud with
out qualifications for the office, came
very near being nominated for con
ressman at large on the democratic
| ticket, simply because his nama be-
| ean with AZ and that All the repub
lican candidates for these offices had
names beginning with the first letter
OF tile alpha bet are few Of the
Illustrations Of the truth Of the state
llent that q large number of the
Oters Of the state vote at random
and without intelligent consideration
In local matters it is possible for
each voter to familiarize himself with
the qualifications OF each oandidate
but il is not with state candidates.
With five or more candidates IN Tn
field as there viii BE- for governor ior
Instance, forty thousands votes VIII
nominate. It is possible for the re-
mfblicans 10 go into a democratic
primary. Some are running Al Jen
nings very strong now for governor
The plan PROPOSED by Dunlop seems
10 meet all these difficulties, and still
TO leave the selection Of candidates
with the people. One delegate from
ear voting precinct representing the
voters of that precinct would place
the selection Beyond any slate o.
clique. Two thousand four hundred
representative men Is too many 20
fix bv any one. 1t would not be at
tempted The advantage to candl-
dates II any would not be in Dun
lop's favor, but rather with the
others who have been in the race for
some time. The plan seems TO be 4
good one. At least it Is worthy ol
careful consideration.
