UNIQUE REGOflD
j Closing In At The End
' Candidates are making their last stand these few days
befoi the primary election. Under the primary law it it
necessary for men and women who seek office to go for
wardj laying aside all timidity and niode.sty, and ask for
vote' This is naturally distasteful, but it is custom and
'custujn is an awful ruler in any country,
i! Presumably the intent of the direct primary law was
'ft quiet campaign permitting the voters to choose their
public servants without outside assistance and with the aid
of the Voters' pamphlet. We believe the framers of Hit
law visioncd the American home circle discussing the nierik
of the candidates quietly and orderly the night before elec
tion day, and then that vision probably extended to th i
time when the family marched to the polls und deposited
the ballot for those of their choice.
But, such war. not to be. The newspaper v s- n-' -'o
sidcred," the billboard failed to enter the mirrt ;
trainers, and tlio propagandist with stories aflo. I
for or agai'ist, was lost sight of.
Instead of beinjr the instrument it was cxncliy intend 'd
to b,e, freeing candidates from expense, the direct primary
system has pmven quite different. And during the few
duys preceding a primary or general election business al
most ceases from the tumult raised by the army (if candi
dates who seek to attract attention to each particulla I
case so that more vol ;i may fall their way. I
But, like all human endeavors, perfection has not beenj
leached in the nrocess of government. Knierson once said,
that nature only hits the purple mice i't n thousand times.
Human beings can well take coinage, even with the loosely
drawn plan of election and government we now have, and
try, try again before any degree of pci leetion is reached.
' For two days more an avalanche of printed matter will
be loosened by the candidates, the last word of denial or
approval will be spoken, anil then the primary day will
decide the fate of every candidate.

thu old wood pipe which carries

The reason for this is the inad
viability of paving over a wooden
