"Kuppenheime and "Ederheimer-Steii Soils NOT INCONSISTENT. The editor of the Willmar Tribune who does not believe in party conven tions, was a delegate to the Demo cratic convention in St. Paul last week. Evidently the members of his party are the only ones who can be trusted not to abuse the convention.— Breckenridge Telegram. Because the editor of the Willmar Tribune has advocated and still advo cates the direct primary the Brecken ridge editor and other editors assume that we are opposed to party conven tions. We are not, and have not said that we are. We are opposed to the system which gives any one or two gatherings the monopoly on public af fairs and render them supreme in en forcing their dictum on the rank and file of any state or community. You cannot have representative govern ment without public discussion and the crystalization of sentiment of rep resentative bodies of citizens. To as sume, as even some progressives do, that the direct primary, prohibits such gatherings is a misconception of the purposes of such a law. But the de mocracy of the people must have the final say who are to be the candidates, and the primary safeguards this, if even in an imperfect way. But parties under the direct pri mary will develop into different kind of organizations than are parties as we know them. The State primary law can be simplified and perfected by the adoption of the same rule that governs Minnesota county and legis lative elections1—by the abolition of party names on the ballot. Then parties would have to stand for something that would bear the broad daylight of open discussion and have cohesive power to hold the peo ple together—or go to pieces, as they should when they cease to stand for anything but pelf and public plunder. Hon. L. O. Thorpe, who had ambi tions to attend the National Repub lican convention, has retired in favor of Mr. Eric Thornton of Benson. Atty, Tom Davis will contest for the honor, with the view, it is said, to test out his strength for a possible try-out against Congressman Volstead later in the season. Roosevelt and Bryan are the two popular leaders of the country who would be the logical candidates for the war preparedness and peace pre paredness issue.

PAUL HORSE COMPANY Result* of Last Year's Contests.— Winners 8cores Tabulated. We cannot say that the fact that last year was a very poor corn sea son, due to an unusual amount of cold, rainy weather, is a very important item of news, after having the point discussed so much during the past few months. It will, however, serve in a large measure to explain the results of the Boys' Acre Yield Corn Contest in Kandiyohi County last year. Coun ty Agent R. M. Poe had approximate ly fifty boys in various parts of the county lined up for the corn contest last spring, but many of them dropped by the way side early in the season due to the unfavorable conditions. About the first of September, some who were still in the contest and were interested came to us and asked what was going to be done since the county agent had gone. We volun teered to do what we could and im mediately got in touch with Prof. T. A. Erickson, head of the boys' and girls' club work in the state. We se cured from him a list of the boys and their addresses, as well as consider able other valuable information. We wrote a letter to each boy asking if he was still in the contest and stat ing that we would check up his re sults for him if he wished, sinoe there was no county agent. A number of replies were made from all parts of the county. All those who asked to have their results figured out were carefully measured. We are indebted to Mr. Shaad, the Agricultural Direc tor of New London, for his assistance in giving information and helping to check up in his community. Several of the boys were encourag ed and instructed in picking out ex hibits of ten ears sending them to Ortonville and also the Corn Show at St. Paul. Albert Birkeland, of Will mar, near Eagle Lake, captured a blue ribbon and five dollars for win ning first place from this county at Ortonville. William and Jacob Hook stra of Svea, near Roseland, getting seven dollars for second and third places. It has been reported that John Ahlstrom of Spicer got a place at the Corn Show at St. Paul, but the details have not yet been learned. The following show the results of the boys who had their acre checked up. Seventy-two pounds being taken for a bushel of ear corn.

Albert produced 59.3 bushels of dry shelled corn on his acre according to Department figures, Albert and Levi both winning a trip to the State Fair next fall, receiving their car fare and expenses. It is pos sible that other prizes may come to the boys, but at present we do not know of any. We were unfortunate the past year in having some of the prizes offered under conditions which we were unable to fullfik An effort ia already being made to have the acre yield Corn Contest throughout the state bigger and bet ter than ever, the coming season. It is certain that a number .of the boys who were in the contest last year will enter again this season with renewed effort.
