A FEW MINUTES WITH THE EDITOR

And these are reasons why the
old time politician is so ready to
cry, "Down with the direct pri
mary law. and especially State
ment No. 1.”
The graft of office under the
old method was his so long that
the poor old fellow can't get
used to honest methods. Like
the leech when he has been torn
away from his victim—he still

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. Under this despot's
