THEY FLOUT THE PRI
MARY.
Under the North Carolina law,
the La Follette electors cannot
go on the official ballot because
ttiat party iHd not vote in the pri
maries. But the Republicans get
on because they made a pretense
of going into the primary. They
technically are entitled but In
equity they should be excluded.
It is notorious that the Republi
can machine flouts the primary,
does not permit its voters to ex
press themselves, but leaves the
selection of its ticket to Federal
officeholders ana others. After
that is done, it compiles with the
technicalities. No party should
be permitted to evade the honest
Intent of the primary law. ? News
Observer.
If this were all then we would not
have so much right to complain. But
In many Instances the republicans
participate in the Democratic pri
mary and assist in selecting t?e nom
inees of the Democratic party. There
are so many ways they can camou
flage that it is almost impossible for I
the election officials to have any real
control of the situation.
The primary law should be amend
ed bo as to eliminate any such situa
tions.

In his home, church and community.
All who knew him loved him and we

For God knoweth best.
He gives us loved ones,

VOTIXO is A PRIVILEGE
Voting should be regarded as a
privilege rather than a task.
The duty of every good citizen is
plain ? he should give expression to
his mature judgment at the polls.
The way the popular vote has de
clined In numbers during the lr.st de
cade Indicates that tar too many
people have given In to the temptation
to believe that a few votes more or
less will not change the result.
They fall to recognize that the
grand total is made up of single
votes cast.
One voter can speak as decisively
and emphatically as another.
A full and free expression of the
popular will can not be expressed
with half of the voters staying at
home.
The tendency to remain away from
the polls, is dangerous and Its growth
is a peril that is besetting our repre
sentative form of government.
It -behoove* everyone to qunltfy for
voting according to the law. ? and
then vote.
