WHAT THEY THINK OF
THE PRIMARY LAW

The direct primary election has
developed number OF weak points.
One is that 1t tends to keep inde-
pendents away frrm the polls: anoth-
e- is that u is such a source OF ex-
pense that man In moderate circum-
stances can hardly afford to make
the race for any kind of a state Of
fee. 1t means that he must make
about thres campaigns. The first to
secure the delegates to the party as
semblies aud get a good position be-
fore the primaries. then he must
make his primary campaign in every
county in the state in order to Sc
cure HIS no nination. Then. II he Is
fortunate sapugh tc be nominated. he
must make third campaign against
his opponents ir the other political
parties
The following little thumb nail In
terviews made at random this morn
ing show how the primary election
law Is regarded by the people Of

A STRONG LETTER.
Why Consumers Should Patronize
Home Merchants

Home Merchants.
A loyal physician received a letter
from a large Chicago mail order
house 1t was well written appeal
and close by saying: If there is any
reason why you do not buy of
us, please give us your reason in
the enclosed stamped envelope, and
we will strive to remove the cause.
The physician answeredas follows:
Your letter of recent date asking
why aad not traded with you for
a long time received, and as you
ask me to tell you frankly why, /
will give you a few REASONS.
First: am in business in this COM
munity and am looking -te THIS
community with its varied indus
tries, for my support. Icannot ask.
the merchants OF the town for THEIR
support if do not give them mine.
& Second: In looking over my.
books fail to find any of the COM
pany's names, (which : reminds me.
that none of these gentlemen have
ever given NE a penny's patronage.
Why.is this? Am / too far away,
or have neither of them needed a
physician, or are they afraid Of the
mail order plan when it comes to
the practice of medicine? / can
certainly give as good satisfaction
by mail as your house can, aud |
will appreciate a call from any Of
your firm wnen in need of m edical
service.
Third: In looking over the SUD
scription lists tor improving our
streets and public highs avs, have
failed to find the name of either
member of your firm down for one
penny to assist in the work. Also
have failed to find cur name on
any of the Charity lists where help
has been rendered to the poor; in
Iother words, you are not down as
contributors to our Helping HAM
Society. In fact in all improve
Iments for the RETIREMENT of our
CONDITION, where Our community has
need of the united efforts of her
public spirited citizens, | have failed
to find your name among the llst3 OF
our CONTRIBUTORS. Your name
lis not in our city TAX books, nor no
| | find where you have paid city
| LICENSE to do a mercantilee busl-
ness in competitor with Our home
merchants.
These are FEW answers to your
questions, and | trust that you will
: see the justice of them. ::
