Tho Bmefeld Telegraph has comment
ed editorlally at frequent intervals on
Me uselessnCSs of the primary system
of nominating candidates for rHhNH
office. 1t has criticised the primary
severely, and II has not finished. Inc
most recent uttcrRnCcS appeared IN tho
issue Of the Telegraph Of last TUESDAY,
and Is very sensible Indeed. Instead OF
the statewide primary. the hiuc'eid
paper would substitute the primary
convention plan. by which Delegates 10
the state convention would he elected
at precinct primaries. In THIS way
the editor Of the Telegraph claims the
candidates. themselves, would be saved
a great amount OF time and money. and
a poor man would have chance or
being nominated without having the
backing Of a great slush fund. The saw
ing to the state would nc considerable.
as the cost of the. primary and election
OF this year ia estimated Al half a
million dollars. The Telegraph con-
tinucs:
I'VE have never understood just
why. the state should pay for N"
nomination Nf the cond'd1tcs or
political party. Any combination
party, political organization or
league OF Cll'HtnS W ll'll N'"II'' W.
offer a candidate representing its
own peculiar views should do so At
It's own expense. II Is enough for
tho state 10 pay for the election and
surround It with the protecting arm
OF law.
Tho primary election has been
prolific OF fraud: under Il abuses
hare grown up that are friChtful;
only rich men can run for office, or
men who are backed ny some COM
bnatlon that can contribute a slush
fund Of gigantic proportions: It's ro-
suit does not give satisfaction. for
Il Is possible for sections OF tho
state TO be ignored and neglected:
Its issues are entirely personal and
a candidate ia FIRST fought by his
own party and must stand and ne
fought by the opposing party at the
election: Il gives an advantage to
tho minority party because that
party stages few contests and It's
candidates are not tainted and oN-
hausted by the primary campaign.
THE primary Law should y"
amended and tho primary-Convcn-
ton plan adopted"

same time from 5000 to 1900. The
States are endeavoring TO increase
their trade with the world and are
no doubt correct in the belief that
with the establishment of Russian
commerce their coast cities will profit
as ports OF entry and departure for a
large share OF western and central
Russian trade.
II is the progress these States have
shown that has been factor in lead
ing Secretary HUGHES to make a de
parture from the previously de-
clared Government policy regard
ing the Russian provinces. The
Secretary in his announcement OF
the recognition says that all of the
States have for a considerable period
maintained successfully governments
of political and economical stability
and that former principles "are not
deemed to be infringed by the fecog
milton at this time or the Govern
ments of Esthonia, Latvia and Lithu-
ania which have been set UP and
maintained by an indigenous popula-'
ton" The United States, in other
words, awards recognition to the
Baltic States because they have won
it by their achievements.

city authorities 100, 100000 people drew
q long breath of relief, and that Mayor,
foreign born became a popular hero.
And when a former Governor of Massa-
chusetts. during the police strike in Bos-
ton, declared that law and order would
be maintained, the people felt so CRATE
ful toward him that they elected him
Vice President of the United States.
Hereafter the people should let the
unions and union sympathizers pport
the unions. Everybody who patrorize
union barber shops and other union
shops. arid who buys closed shop prod
ucts. helps to strengthen the unions.
When the people are properly organ
lied they will not be afraid to have
non-union barber shops. They will not
be afraid to call for non-union cigars
and they will not be afraid TO 90 into
stores and insist en- being furnished with
non-union goods.
Some judges have declared that the
right to picket has been welr estao-
lished. The public understands that the
right TO picket against strikers has not
been wen established. II any body
doubts It let him go among gang of
strikers and try to picket against them.
