THE PRIMARY.. X
The primary was designed to make J
It -possible to get the fcHiice of the c
peqple for their' different officers, for 1
hp it wdll known that such was not 4
'the'cake often times with the .old '
convention plan, but if the voters fail
to go to . the'polli on . next Saturday (
then thtc choice Will, not hpve been t
expressed at "the election..- "While we, i
do not 'especially-, care, for the promary
plan, still it is the beat method l
so far tried to find out the wishes of ,
the people. If you-fail to express your !
wisb-'s by voting then certainly, you
have no right to corri plain bcesuse
ypur party railed to put out the heat j
men. Go to the polls and vote fog your ]
preferenre, and' if your man is de- '
feated you have the consolation of 1
yT : snowing, mat ycu voted'for the best
. , man us you thought, but -es Ihcui.v
"Jnrity were against you, tllen-TonSQle \
yourself With the thought "that "per- (
haps you were wrohg and. did n>t *
vote*?or th<* best man/' for, you-Knotf, '
V noife- of us are infallible and most' '
of us make many mistakes. ^
7* fThe law provides for equal privib
eges for all recognized parties, and t
we hardly think any one, in either 1
party, will want to so degrade Km- ^
self or. herself by trying to vote to 3
_ . nominate a niajv in a different party
from "which he or she affiliates. If you t
are a Democrat, vote for the Dom- \
"" bcratic candidates, and ?if-you are a _1
~r? WlpuUlllHji uutf fl)!1 llni tluiulilR.iu candidate,
and do not try .to name .
men who are .not of your . political- l
faith. Simply because you want to r
j vote -^for .some individual friend, on *
in? opposite ticket belonging to the *
opposite party docs "not . entitle you j.
' to vote against youT party' with 9
which yoikuiffiliate.
To be plain, if'"you are a Democrat 1
th&rr you can'not help r.arne the Re~?publican
cairtitiste, or if"*you are "a
_. 2
Republican then you have -no right, ,
legally fr morally, to vote in the
Democratic box. '
. Congress is again this week wrest- j
Ung with the bonus question", and it 1
looks as if it was one of the ' hot
bricks, for they will-be damned if 1
they do and' be damned' if they do
not. The Republican Cfrnpjress. has
put it up to- the President twice already,
and sljill He gives them no en- '
couragement. The politicians want to j
help the soldier boys with the horius i
but thf public seems to be agin then I

Inirri they had. 10 million pounds of
obacco turned over to them of which
hey claim to have sold over 75 mil*

They Wave sold two-thirds of the
obacco and hjive' paid the fanner
ight. at fifteen cents. They now have
>ne third of their holdings left but,!
eft la composed mostly of the tail
sntd of the crop. Let's say tH>y will
iverage for the balance what .they
eceived for the other. This will then
iet thenf "tgrtween twenty-one and
wenty-two cents. But they have Wad
10 redry what they have left and put
t in hogsheads'. Now the cost of this

NOw deduct this two ^cetits fftni

But here's where the "nigger in

Is- it because their expenses have

iome?of thp pool folWyppiFs Or ?om?
if their clerks witfl small jobs might

itill owe the banks. If they pay the
tanks, then the 4 million will* have
