THE PARTY PRIMARIES

On next Tuesday the voters Of
this county will have the privilege
and opportunity to cast their ballot
for their choice for the candidates
of their party. This should be look
ed upon as not merely privilege,
but duty which the earnest seeker
after better government and cleaner
politics will not overlook or neglect.
The primary law of this state is
not success, and does not bring
about a clear expression of the will
of the voters because the people do
not take the proper interest in at
tending the polls and casting their
ballots.
Good government depends upon
proper and active interest in party
affairs. and participation in the
selection of the party candidates.
