Primary No Good. Says Slocum.

EAST SUMMER, may IL
There are some progressive ideas ad-
vanced from time to time, apparently
we'll in their conception, plausible IN
theory, that appeal to ones judgment as
worthy of consideration, but when put
to the test in practice fail to meet what
was designed, and prove to be shoe
ak" as Squire Briggs used to say. We
fear that the so-called primary act will
come under this class.
So far as we have been able to per-
csive, the 'voice of the people" in the
selection of candidates for state and 9TH
or offices, has not been any more effect
ual In the matter than under the old eau
Gus and convention plan. II simply
makes two political campaigns Tor aspir-
ants to fight through, instead OF one,
and the political slate is made up before
the primary election Is due, yes, months
before and the ''desr people" simply 60
to the meeting and ratify the wishes OF
the candidates.
For months past we have been besieged
with letters from those seeking to be the
servants of the people," and eager to
sacrifice labor and worry for the good
of the country" and prevent it from 60
ing to the "bow-wows" through Demo
cratic ascendency. The persistent efforts
of aspirants for Office is as great before
the primary election as 1t used to be at
ter the conventions just before election.
The present method, while in its con-
ceptions 1t seemed practical, in its cul-
mination does not "ill the BILL" The
s'effectual SMILE and "hearty hand
shake" comes little earlier it Is true,
but the desire to ''get there" is just ss
apparent as ever.
As we view it from a rural standpoint,
the primary law with its twin relic of
delusion-the secret ballot law-should
be relegsted to the spot where Cowper
sighed "for lodge in some vast wilder
ness" In our small rural towns made
up of honest, conscientious people, eth
er act Is as superfuous as cat with two
tails. Let the cities and large places
kill their own skunks. Don't make an
honest voter a criminal for showing his
friend his ballot. 30 consistency thou
art . rare Jewell"

Ability to bit the ball hard and often
enabled Paris High to win it's game at
Mechanic Falls Saturday afternoon.
Paris lost no time In getting after the
local pitcher, and scored three runs by
good hitting in the first inning. Three
more runs were added in the third, and
toward the last of the game, after the
Mechanic Falls battsrs began to hit Mer-
rill q little too hard for comfort, they
went in in the eighth inning and batted
10 three more runs which won the game.
The game was featureless except the
hard hitting OF both teams, and those
fans who like to see the players 60 to
the plate and hit the ball certainly got
their moneys worth.
In practice before the game, Ham,
