THE PRIMARY LAW.
One of the questions being asked by
some of the people is whether the pres­
ent legislature will do anything to the
present primary law before it adjourns.
If any law on the books needs an allo­
pathic dose of ideas it is the primary
law.
It ought to be fixed up so that the
Democrats cannot tro to the polls on
prim ary day u nil make the nominations
of the Republicans, and so the Repub­
licans can not have a hand in the nomi­
nation of Democratic candidates as at
present.
If there are to he partisan elections,
there should be partisan primaries.
Non-partisan primaries and partisan
elections are a combination that brings
ridicule upon the election law.
"COME RIGHT IN AND SIT DOWN.”
We have inaugurated a Spring Clearance Sale that for
money-saving opportunities has never been surpassed by any
sale ever held in the county.

greatest and most important feature of the sale is the sub­
stantial money-saving to you.
