it is a poor way to register ap-
prevail. Senator Tydings' ma
jority in the 1888 campaign was
practically as large as his entire
vote in 1914. And yet he won
by a margin of about ten to one
against his opponent.
There is a similarity Of this
small primary vote and the
Montgomery Ward case and citi-
zens will do well to take heed.
No fear need be felt of mistakes
made by the people in general.
It is when they show lack Of in
terest that dictators bore from
