AS TO THE PRIMARY

Some stupendous efforts by
our republican brethren are be-
ing made to discredit the prima-
ry law and to convict the demo-
Gratis of trying to evade it
cause some of their state candi-
dates We're nominated by accla-
nation.
The Herald takes it's stand
with the primary, as being an
agency for good.
1t has it's little imperfections,
but alone as remidial agency
in the prevention Of convention
frame-ups and abuses it has
proven it's worth, and is indeed
the peoples salvation against
political corruption and bossism
in party management and party
control.
AS to the democrats trying to
evade the law of the state-its
like the wall of a lost spirit. The
primary wasn't intended to
force two or more designations
for each place, but to give good
minority aspirant end the peo-
pie a chance as against a conven-
tion frame up for an "undesire-
able."
That is what gave Carlson his
chance two years ago, and is
what is giving him his chan ce
again thisyear. So what is it the
republicans are kicking about.
AS to the democrats, when
Judge Gunter finally expressed
his willingness to accept the
nomination if rendered, both the
assembly and the primary were
over with, so far as concerned
the gubernatorial nominee of
the party; and the election was
also over with so far as concerns
the governorship of the state for
the next two years.
Come to think of it, guess
that's what our good republican
brethren are are bowling about.
They know their cake is dough,
and, like the national party. hav-
ing no issue, they are following
the example Of Hughes in grab
bing at imaginary straws and
hollering as if he had found so
many real life boats.
The sharks are this year in a
whole lot of G. o. p. swimming
pools, particularly in Colorado,
and it will be goodbye to a lot
of their candidates when these
man-eaters get in their work in
the november round up.
Meantime the primary is with
US, it is here to stay, and-"If
that be reason," our republican
brethren will have to make the
most of it.
