PRIMARY LAW CHANGES.

is not at all surprising to hear from Charleston that
leEors will be made during the present session Of the
legislature 10 amend the primary election law. If the
time ever when the election laws suit all corners the
world will be TOO tame for red blooded people.
But it is to be hoped that the law makers will not be
20 anxious to change the existing law that they fa.ten
thing infinitely upon the voters. Senator Hamers
plan for district primaries TO elect delegates 10 county
yenton., which turn would name delegate, to senatorial
congressional and state convention. especially absurd
The objection most frequently urged against the present
primary system that il is costly to any with political
ambitions. The Hamer plan IS advanced ostensibly a
remedy for dat condition. but that light It will max.
every experienced politician grin broad grin. This is
familiar old system and embodies nearly every evil tia.
party government is heir to- but the principal objection te
il is that il fosters the county boss system.
We gather from our special from Charleston Of yes.
erday that, is Senator Hamers idea that candidates IN
stead Of being compelled to carry their candidates. to the
pubic would have but to see the delegates 10 the
ton they were interested in. We should like to see the
look on the Harrison county staesmans face the first lime
he tried that under his system. He would speedily fne
out that If he was in position to do business on business
principles" he would not even have to see the delegates
Seems" the county boss would be all the situation de-
manded.
And the county bosses would become cogs in a state
machine mn BY state boss who would deal with the cor
poratons and the candidates Il would be lovely sys
TEN. And il would fit into the politics Of the present day
about snugy kaisesm is going to Fit into Europe
reconstructed BY the Peace congress.
II we must have changes in the primary law lets have
progressive changes and not reactonay that would
cary the party government Of this state back to the pot
ica conditions that existed in the big industrial states to The
east Of US quarter Of century ago.
