DEVOID
Of Interest Were The County
Primaries
Only One-Third The Vote
Out In Mt. Vernon
In Other Precincts Only 15
Per Cent Cost
It Was An Expensive Ex
perience To Taxpayers
I--
As It Will Cost Knox County
About $2,000
Tho primary election law may bo a
good thing for counties In which there
are largo cities, but for a county like
Knox It is an Imposition on tho people
and Is a failure.
Last year, to make nominations for
municipal and township olliccs, It
cost tho peoplo of Knox county $2,000,
and tho primary of Tuesday to name
county tickets no doubt will show a
cost fully as much when all tho bills
arc paid.
Tuesday's primary was absolutely
devoid of Interest, as Is shown .by the
fact that an exceedingly light voto
was polled. Tho four contests on tho
Republican ticket and the two on tho
Democratic ticket were not calculated
to arouse much interest among tho
voters of either side so as to bring out
a voto that was worth while, nor to
compensate for the. lnrgo expense In
volved. "
Tho lack of interest was shown ev
en In Mt. Vernon whore there Is largo
voting population to all of whom tho
voting places are easily accessible, yet
not one-third of tho voto of the city
was out.
Outside of Jit. Vernon, all over tho
county, tho voto was much lighter
than In the city, and tho "canvass by
the board of elections showing that
not to exceed fifteen per cent, of tho
oto was cast.
From these facts it is very apparent
that the voters of Knox county arc
not much taken with the cumbrous
and expensive method of putting coun
ty tickets in the field.
Of course, tho time of holding the
primary is an exceedingly Inconven
ient one for tho farmers, who are very
busy at this tlmo of year, yet on Tues
day tho ruin kept them from any out
door work and oven .then they did not
go to tho polls In any considerable
numbers.
In the towns of the county it would
make no difference what time pf year
tho primaries were held, as tho voters
could go to voto at ono time as well as
another and their business bo not In
terfered with, as tho voting places to
such electors Is close at hand. Tho
fact that there was such a small turn
out in tho towns, shows that even un
der favorable conditions as to voting,
there is no interest in the method tho
law Imposes for making nominations.
No arrangement had been made for
receiving tho returns of tho primary,
so that lnfqrmatlon of an absolutely
dellnlto character was not available
Tuesday night, and complete Jlsuros
wore not obtainable on Wednesday,
on tho last named day there being
twelvo precincts from which informa
tion had not been received, tho returns
from which being sealed up in tho
offlco of tho board of elections await
ing their opening by that body at tho
official canvass of Thursday,
