PRIMARY NOTES.
BY /. ID. Claire.

The primary-and let us hope II
is the last and final farce of the kind
is behind us, and some strange re-
suits confront us. The state primary
election law was a Democratic mea-
sure Matched to prevent the Republi-
cans fusing with independent Demo-
Gratis and endangering Democratic
success.
But after a few years trial even
the Democrats are anxious to get rid
of the clumsy and Intellectual primary
machinery, and will join the Repub-
leans in the next general assembly
to repeal the law.
The recent primary played some
strange and unaccountable freaks.
One of the most notable of these was
the defeat of a large number of
candidates standing for a second
term. In this primary men from
one Pnd Of the state to the other,
who had made good and efficient Of
ficials were defeated for no apprecia-
BILE reason except for freak notions of
the voters.
Another feature of the primary.
more conspicuous than ever before
and it had been prevalent enough
every since the primary law was en-
acted, was the turning down of 'men

WOMAN UNIVERSALLY
ASSUMES HER BURDEN

The primary Saturday convinced
everyone that our women voters have
at last accepted the voting privilege.
as one which is their solemn duty to
exercise.
When suffrage was given to the
women, many denounced it and
steadfastly maintained that they
would meyer vote. Some where pes
simistic and said that the women
could never be gotten together and
would never vote with the intelli-
gence of their gentlemen friends. To
the certain knowledge of the writer
only five women failed to vote in one
of the Hartford precincts. We are
told it was the same story turnout
the county. The women came to the
polls, demanded their ballot, marched
to the voting booth, voted and depos-
tied their ballot with the same as
suTance as did the men.
Some. tbs true, were hesitant, but
the same can be said of some of the
men. Give the ladies half a chance.
let them become thoroughly versed
with the candidates and they will
pick their choice, with
much better grace than the men.
