CHANGING OUR LOCAL ELECTION
SYSTEM.

Our whole local election system is
TO be revolutionized.
Hereafter the more interest mem
bers OF political party take in a
primary the less chance they will
have of winning the election.
For instance, five men are candi'
dates for the democratic nomination.
They divide the party vote at the
primary.
The republicans have but one can
didate, and he polls all the party vote.
II this amounts TO majority vote,
over all the democratic candidates,
the primary vote elects the republi'
can automatically under this law.
Chicago's nonpartisan election bill
was passed Tuesday by the senate by
a vote OF rs to 10. II now goes 10
the house, where there may be more
trouble in store for the measure than
was demonstrated in the senate,
The important features OF the bill
as il comes cut OF the senate are
these:
Partisan primaries for the nomina-
ton OF mayor, city clerk, city treas
urer, and aldermen are abolished.
Instead, primary candidates shall
file nominating petitions upon which
there must be not less than per cent
nor more than . per cent OF the vote
cast at the last preceding election in
the particular territory for which
nominations are made,
The names are placed upon the pri
mary ballot alphabetically and TO
tated by precincts, so that each can
didate shall have top place equal!
with all other candidates.
There shall be non'partisan pri
mary on the last Tuesday in March
II any candidate gets a majority OF al
votes cast he Is automatically elected

didates go 70 an election 10 be hell

OAKLEY IS NOT
PEEvEO,

The Burley Herald for Nov
ember 20 states that Oakley
feels peeved. The ground for
making this remark is the fact
that in a recent issue we remark
ed that people in some parts of
the state had been heard to men,
ton the "Burley" oil fields, al
though Burley is nearly three
tim IS as far from the derrick on
the I'D ranch as Oakley.
Are we peeved? Not in the
least! We are all of us little
models of patience, forbearance,
humility and obedience. The
virtue which we possess in su-
perlative degree is that of look
ing up to neighboring towns
with awe and generation. When
a neighboring town says to us,
- Come hlther we think we
should come; and if she says to
us, DO this, we feel that it is
only right that we should do it.
When a neighboring town slaps
us on the right cheek, we believe
we should turn our left cheek
and. ask her to slap it seven
times harder. The next step,
we believe, is to lie down in the
mud and say to her, Please
step on us. However unworthy
of the great honor we may be,
won't you please step on us?'
We hope the Burley Herald
will excuse us for giving the
unwarranted impression that we
were peeved.
