by contract an immense amount of good accomplished

PRIMARY ELECTIONS
Some years ago Hon. G. A. White of Trail County m. q
menDer OF the House and introduced primary election hill
which known then been known since "a IN.
White Primary Election Bill" bill provided for con
enons TO be held by the different parties and that at such
there should be nominated majority and minority
the nominees to 60 before the the state At
e regular primary election law Of this kind would with.
out doubt meet with the approval the people Of the state
The principal fault found the old DAYS with tho on
un system was because in North Dakota we had what was
Known as the Unit Rule that the majority of DELEGATION
o county oy adopting the Unit Rule controlled the vote
OF every member of the delegation By enacnc laws tn
e !of party conventions and prohibiting the use of the
Unit huie In the conventions thereby making it nssih,e FIR
every delegate to vote deems best and th. .1t a.
present to the people the state md
uof! party canddats for the various Offices to he voted
a. Tue general primary election, it would seem that hv
ol tnls character would clarity primary elections
- iul'ner advantage in that by passing such a law
Tor conventions be by the PARTIES then
each convention would be responsible to their n.r+ go
Tue people generally for the candidates nominated
