Hon. William Campbell, of Charles

district. was in Shepherd stown last
Saturday, having come here to attend
a meeting of the Rumseyan Society.
Mr.. Campbell has just returned fir ON a
trip to England and Scotland, having
safely made the voyage through the
waters menaced by the German sub
marines. He says that the people of
Great Britain have absolutely no doubt
as to the ultimate victory of the Allies
over the Germans. The British as
we'll as the French were entirely I'M
prepared for the war, and they have
been obliged to remain on defensive
until they can acquire the necessary
stores of arms and ammunltation with
which to equip their soldiers. There
is an army Of two million men now in
training ready to be sent to the front
Just as soon as there isplenty of equip
ment England has been short of high
explosives. but this defect in munitions
is being rapidly remedied, as supplies
are being gotten from the United
States and elsewhere. Within the
next few months it is believed that the
Allies will begin an aggressive cam
paign that will lead to victory.

Primary Laws.

Much is being aaid and much written
about The Primary. Also much head
scratching. brow-knitting and pencil
chewing by legislators in their efforts
to comply with the public demands for
its improvement and at the same time
keep party ranks in line For pure
and perfect primary can be.such only
by the free and independent exercise of
its functions, by each individual par
ticipant.
A recent campaign, precedent to the
election ofcommissioners in New Jersey
City, demonstrates the satisfactory
working of nearly perfect primary.
All that was necessary to become a
candidate for Commissioner was to an
nounce that desire to the City Clerk,
vouched by the signatures of a stated
number of hackers.
There are thirty six candidates who
entered the race for the election of
five Commissioners. And the canvass
was conducted without single word
as to their party affiliations.
The two newspapers of the city, of
opposite political faith. offered their
columns freely with cut regard to poll
tics to the candidates and their friends.
And they were used to their capacity.
During the last ten days, the various
auditoriums Of the city were freely
used by the candidates, generally in
groups, from the rostrums of which
they and their friends 'extolled their
virtues and their wonderful fitness for
office. A proportion of muddy Islander
was slung at the retiring Commission
ers, who We're candidates for reelection,
which delightful to say, the returns
Of the election p,oved was entirely
non effective
When tn se returns were announce
perfect content settled down on thai
community. for it felt that the elected
were the distinct and empha ic choice
of the people.
The only defect we C n see In this
primary law is that the door is wide
open for the man who seeks the office.
We would conjure some devlce by which
the office will seek the man and The
door still be easy of access. We are
sure it can be accomplis ed, and a per
feet primary law devised not only for
m lnicipal nomination but for Animation
al and state nominations as well.
