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.
