* * EFFECT OF THE PRIMARY LAW.
.T '"
I
The loca3 situation in county politics is one of decided
uncertainty, for, wane offices there is no opposition and the first
statement may be questioned- but for the most part we shall have
a choice between members of aspirants all of whom will be followed
to the primaries by à coterie of friends. It might be that several.
■« of "Urn *•content rni*ht split the vote of the «um* bunch
of acquaintances, oiily to have the barnstorming candidate run
away with the honors. Or it may be that the voters of the county
shall select in every case the best man. but we doubt it.
in elections
The primary law has not worked that way in past elections
«Kl the probability ot ite ever doing „ U too remote for consider
alien. This law', in a county such as Cascade, practically cuts the
people ofitsidé of thé county seat off from any participation in
county offices and leaves the control of rural affairs entirely in
the hands of the urban population.
Such a condition of affairs is impossible except where a large
county seat contains a majority of the county vote.
Many thôtaghf. thé preferential primary a panacea for all po
Utical ills. indeed, jn state affairs clarified some undesir
able conditions but when, applied to counties it has developed in its
wake a train of ,iU own pecuiiar failure.
Some years<«go there was an attempt to do away with the
statewide primary as it affected state officers and leave intact
that part which a/fécted county offices. Upon this the people sat
with promptness and vigor. However, had the question been put
to the voter» in the reverae order to dg away with the prima.,
law as affecting county offices and retaining it in relation to state
off ices, there would have been a chance for it to pass because there
are many counties in the state which to a greater or less degree
are in the same Cdhdition as Cascade county for the simple reason
that it is impossible jn a county primary to so control the vote as
to place the officers where thay would do the most good.
Some officers should be country-minded, that la, Should have
the rural view pöint, and unless they are selected from among this
■ class there isfiflctidh or misunderstanding.
This fatt Was recognized in former days under-the conven
tion system which, faulty as it was, still out-ranked the present
primary syeteip jo service to the people.
Many people looked forward with pleasure to the wire-pulling
and fence-busting whieh formed a principal part in party conven
£} ons .. »i. v
- These political machinations eventually resulted in the choice
of a man worthy, of tjfie office. ..We do, not suppose that hewas cho
sen because he wa» .moat worthy but rather because he would
make the best run. At any rate he was chosen to stand for his
party at the poUs and if the'people disapproved of the republican
candidate they 'gffvé'thë demdcratic candidate a rousing majority.
Undet^ thjs, çonvqntiçn system, the outside was represented
usually on the bdard of county commissioners, the county super
intendent came from the schools with which she deals directly,
some of the repr^entatives in the state legislature were farmers,
and the outside got a chance at such offices as assessor, auditor
and county clerk. ' ~ , *
Under the present system the outside usually gets as much
consideration in the county office* as a K C. would get at a K. K.

Under the old rates of the Montana Power Company. Mr. Stork was

* Is effect for the past 13 months, he is an enthusiast
"My house is thoroughly equipped with electrical appliances ", said
Mr. Stork to a reporter for this paper, as he stepped from the Power
; Company's office the other day, waving a receipted bill. "I have 35
friectric lamps, a four-burner, superautomatic Hotpoint Hughes electric
rang*, electric water heater, toaster, vacuum cleaner, curling iron, perco
lator Hid Waffle iron.
"During May. Jane and July, my bills averaged $9.95 a month.
But if it cost twice as much, I wouldn't abandon a single electrical appli
ance in the house. In fact, the rate is so reasonable that if we go out of
evening and leave all the lights burning. I never worry, knowing that
1 the more current we use the cheaper the rate."
Charles D. McAboy. of the McAboy Plumbing Company, has an
apartment st 14 North Montana Street equipped w ith 15 electric lights,
electric rarçe, fan. vacuum cleaner, flat iron and curling iron.
"Our bill for June", Mrs McAboy told the reporter, "aras $470,
and for July $3 85. I am passionately fond of musk, but I would rather
up my piano than my electric range, which is 2S% cheaper to operate
the gas range we umtd to use "
