THE primary election in Wisconsin
again registered the fact that minori-
ties control the choice of the candi-
dates. John j. Blaine had the great
est number of votes and received the
nomination for governor on the Repub-
lican ticket, but he did not have a ma
jority of the Republican vote cast.
About one-third of the voters deposit
ing a Republican ballot (many of them
have been Democrats, and will vote
with the Democrats this falD dictated
the gubernatOrial choice on this ticket.
Senator Lenroot was not nominated as
candidate for the u. S. senate by a
majority of the Republican vote. He
received fewer votes than the COM
bined strength of Thompson and Nc
Henry. The present primary law does
not only permit minority in a party to
nominate the candidates for the party,
but it makes it easy to do so. This can
be ascertained by compilation of the
returns and comparison of the fig
ures. 1t does not make very much diff
ference, of course, if the party lines up
unanimously for the candidates chosen
by this method when it comes to the
general election, but it can not be said
that the successful candidates at the
primaries are the choice of the major
ity, not even the plurality, of the vot-
ers which the winning candidates rep
resent. One of the surprises of the
primary returns is the relatively large
vote polled for the straight Socialist
candidates. Evidently the Socialists
did not flock to the La Toilette stand
ard, as had been predicted. Another
lesson underscored by the results of
the primary election is the indepen-
dence of the voters and their refusal
to be stampeded. They picked Blaine,
but they also picked Lenroot. TED
Lewis victory over Stolen for district
attorney is another illustration of this
independence in picking the man want
ed, whether he has the Endorsement of
the leaders or not.

out to touch the rural homes in the
trading district has keener, kindlier
and more abiding interest in the well
fare of the people living there than in
any other. The community of inter-
ests between the home town and its
rural population is much more real than
we realize, unless we stop to consider
it. The mutual influence for good and
for success is fostered by the under
standing which comes through long
years of constant contact. The pur-
ity, health, beauty and success of the
home town influences are only matched
by the reciprocal influence of the same
things possessed in the rural district.
The reasons to pull together, to keep
alive the sympathy and mutual good
will, are natural ones and should be
cultivated so as to grow continually
stronger and more Intimate.

Not So Anxious.

Put the people who make up any
community are not nearly as anxious
to furnish capital to the home mer-
chant-the man who helps 'make" the
tOwn-as they are to the mail order
man in the far distant city, who does
nothing and cares nothing for the peO-
pie who furnish him the money on
which to do business. They insist that
the home merchant shall carry large
stock of goods from which they can
select what they wish when they think
1t is to their interest to buy from him.
They insist that he shall stand back Of
the goods he sells and make good any
defect that may appear in them. They
insist that he shall sell them what they
wish and wait for the money until they
get ready to pay it. They insist that
he shall sell goods at the same prices
or lower prices than the mail order
houses charge for goods Of poorer quail
ity. And finally. they insist that the
home merchant shall furnish the large
amount of capital that Is required to
conduct business on this plan.
The mail order buyer may say that
he has the right to spend his money
anywhere he plcaSes and he has, legal
Iy. But he probably has never stopped
TO reflect on the fact that he is supply
ing the capital for the operation of a
concern which is in direct competition
with enterprises in which he is directly
interested, for every man, woman and
child in a town is directly interested In
the success of the business enterprises
in that town. If these business enter
prises are not prosperous, the town
cannot be prosperous. To supply capi-
tai to your competitor is not very good
business.

to do business on the other fellows
money, but there are few people who
can do 1t. Probably the only busi-
ness men who, as a class, are able
to do this, are the mail order men In
the big cities.
Did you ever stop to think-you,
who have ordered goods from mail
order house and there are probably
few who have not done that at some
time or other-that you are supplying
the cash upon which the mail order
man is doing business? You are well
aware of the fact that your cash must
go with your order if you expect to re-
ceive the goods, but have you ever
stopped to think what that means? DO
you realize that you are supplying the
capital for business which is run
ming in direct competition with your
home merchants, upon whose prosper
ity you and your fellow townsmen are
dependent for livelihood?
The majority of mail order houses
do not carry large stocks of goods.
They do not have to. When the mail
order man gets your order, accom-
panied by the cash, Of course, he can
take part of your money and go to
the manufacturer or the wholesaler
and buy the article that is wanted. The
rest of the money he can put down in
his pocket after paying his operating
costs, which are light when compared
with those of the merchant who must
carry large stock Of goods to meet
the demands made upon him.
In Glass by Themselves.
There is absolutely no other class of
men who do business on the capital
furnished by their customers. Even
the retail store which sells for cash
only cannot do this for he must carry
a large stock and in most cases must
pay cash for 1t in order to get prices
that will enable him to make lower
prices to his customers than can be
made by the merchant who gives credit
to his customers.
The mail order man doesn't need to
have any of his own capital invested
in his business-or any large amount
of it, at least, in proportion to the vol
ume of the business which he does. He
does not have to pay interest to the
banks on money borrowed to help him
finance his business. The mail order
man figures that about one-half of the
amount he receives on any order goes
to the wholesaler or manufacturer In
payment for the goods ordered. or
the remainder part goes for postage.
printing, maintenance of office and
plant, insurance, etc. What is left.
which is by no means an insignificant
part of every dollar received, goes into
dividends to stockholders in the mail
order corporation. All this has been
done without any capital other than
that which may be required to pay Of
flee expenses.
Suppose, for minute, that you did
business with the local merchants on
the same plan. Suppose that they did
not carry any goods in stock, that
when you wanted to buy something
YOU should go to one of your home
merchants, look in his catalogue and
pick out an article that seemed to be
similar to the one that you wanted,
hand over the price as shown by the
catalogue and tell him to order it for
you. The merchant would take your
money and you would wait for your
goods until they arrived from a dis
tant city.
Not So Anxious.
