Like the leech when he has been torn away from his victim—he still tights for blood, no difference as to who suffers. It will be no ticed, unfortunately for the state, that the newspaper agita ting the idea of killing the di rect primary law is not usually found working very hard for honesty in anything, especially when it comes to the enforce ment of law. To do so would be to antagon ize the interests usually found backing the effort that says to h 1 with the people, feather your own nest while you have the chance. The Herald is not at all un easy as to the welfare of the di rect primary law, or Statement No. 1. The people have the old time politician and his ilk under control and they are wise enough to keep them there. A number of years ago the writer attended, for the first time, a county convention. About 100 staunch party men were present. The meeting was called to order by the chairman, officers were nominated from a slate, other preliminary work accomplished and then a recess was declared for lunch. After lunch the meeting was again called to order and from a paper held in front of him. one man arose to his feet and nomi nated each officer in turn. These were all coached through by the efforts of four men. The slate was fixed by these four leaders, and under their political lash all nominations were made. This was equivalent to election, and the candidates (more truthfully classed as tools) were assessed financially in proportion to the importance and financial value of their office. Later, the ward heelers elected delegates at the county conven tion, again did the bidding of their master at the State con vention.
