Withdraws From Race. It will come as a surprise to his many friends in Winslow and over the state generally to learn that Mr. S. W. Proctor has with drawn from the race for the dem ocratic nomination for Corpora tion Commissioner. Mr. Proctor is by far the best equipped of any of the candidates seeking this particular place, as his life train ing has been along the lines with which the Commission has to deal, but he found it was too ex pensive a luxury to make a cam paign under the primary law —the law that was written into the state constitution under the pre text that it opened the gates of opportunity to the poor man to aspire to public office. Some day we hope the common people will wake up to a full realization of the fact that the primary law is the creation of the corporations and monied in terests, slipped over on the peo ple under the guise of being in the interest of the poor man and destroying the power of the politicians. The primary law to be of any benefit to the poor man should not be invoked to nomi nate candidates, but to select del egates from the county to the state convention, and these dele gates will then be the true re presentatives of the people to select the candidates; and they could work far more intelligent ly for the best interests of the state, because they would have ample time to investigate the qualifications of the candidates seeking preferment. In a coun ty the people would know, and in many cases would be personal ly well acquainted with the men aspiring to be delegates to the convention, and they could vote intelligently for those whom they knew would properly represent them. Take for a shining example the approaching primary to select state officers. What pro portion of the people in either party have any real information as to the qualifications and integ rity of the different candidates that are to be voted upon? With the possible exception of the sev eral candidates for governor, it is certain not twenty-five per cent of the voters know any thing of the qualifications of the candidates or of their characters, and their opportunity to gain the desired information is almost im possible. But this feature is not the worst element entering the pri mary election law. The corpora tions and monied interests can defeat any candidate in the pri mary that is objectionable to them by entering their stool pigeons and satellites in the race from the different sections of the state where the undesirable man is strongest, and divide the vote of the unsuspecting, while the organization lines up solid for their pet candidate. They fur nish the funds to finance the campaigns of the stool-pigeons, as well as the major portion of the money for their favorite, and when the candidates’ statement of campaign expense is filled it shows only a nominal amount, thus creating the impression that the candidate won on real merit. In fact the candidate has committed a mild form of per jury, because he has a guilty knowledge that other expendi tures have been made in his be half, and with his cheerful ac quiescence. Is there an intelligent voter in this state who believes for a minute that in the fight being waged against Gov. Hunt at this time that the expense is being borne by Mr. Olney, his oppon ent, out of his personal funds? The filing of Mr. Olney’s state ment will soon disabuse your mind. We believe the law says a candidate cannot expend to exceed SIOOO, and Mr. Olney’s statement will show an amount considerably less, but there has been thousands of dollars ex pended in the effort to discredit Gov. Hunt, and bring about the nomination of Mr. Olney, and at this writing it looks very much as though they have accomplish ed their purpose. Mr. Olney is a good citizen, and if elected would probably make a good governor, but the fact remains that his nomination was' not the free-will offer of the people, but. the result of the machinations of the mining companies through a bunch o's corrupt politicians who are in the game for the money. The primary law is the boodle statesman’s opportunity, and so long as he .can fool the people about the beauty of the primary law he has his regular harvest. Some day the people will wake up, and when they do the pri mary law as it now stands will be wiped out of existence. It is an expensive luxury, and as rotten a piece of alleged reform legisla tion as was ever created by a gang of political highbinders posing as the friends of the “great common people.” Resolutions. At the regular meeting of Div. 85, 0. R. C., the following re solutions were-submitted on the death of Mr. C. T.Lee, and unan imously adopted: Whereas, the sad news reaches this Lodge that our beloved Brother, C. T. Lee, has been call ed from the labors of this world to the eternal rest on the silent shore of the Great Beyond, the tran sition being on mois, Mo., it is opportune and timely that we, his affiliated brethren and co-laborers, should hold a lodge of sorrow hearts as yve meditate on his many sterling qualities, and fully realize the loss we have sustained in a friend who was always loyal and true; remembering the darkened home, the sorrowing wife and children who have been bereft of the love and protection of a devoted hus band and an indulgent father. Realizing the great that has fallen, be it. Resolved. By the members of Division 85, O. R, C. as a tribute to the virtues of our departed brother, C. T.

Be it further. Resolved.
