Primary Election Reform.
-y-Ht: INTRODUCTION' by
I Senator I'llnn of a bill re-
JL (.anting thu whole existing
machine:' of making politi
cal nominations opens up u subject
concerning which t'.:eto will be much
ch II: and little action.
As wus noted yesterday in our Ilar
ilebiirp dispatches, the Fllnn bill pro
ljei to make all primaries uniform
throughout the state, the date for fed
eral, state and county nominations to
he (he second Tuesday In June, and
for municipal nominations the second
Tuesday in Janu.uy. C'andladtes for
state ofllce or otllces to be voted for
'hioughout the stale must at least 30
days bfiotc the pilmaiy election dec-lure
to the secretary of the common
wealth by affidavit their Intention and
party aftlli'itlon. together with u peti
tion signed by at least 2 por cent, of
the total vote, cut at tho last state
flection, within the district for whlcii
such candidacies are Intended, by tho
party to which tho candidates belonar.
Candidates for county and municipal
ofTlco must similarly declare to the
county commissioners at least twenty
days before the primary election. Can
didates for congiess, state senate
or Judge In dlstticts with more than
one county must declaie and file peti
tion with tho commlsslonots of each
county. Fiom this point on tho pri
mary is conducted precisely as a gen
eial election, with sttlngent penalties
against fiaud and minute directions
covering every act of voting, counting
and certifying the count. Political
parties having polled 3 or more
I et cent, of the total vote cast
at thu last preceding htate or
nutlon.il election shall nominate at
.such primal Ics nmt In no other way,
except tint the party committees may
supply vacancies. The name of no
person shall be printed upon the of
ficial ballot of the general election un
ites he has been duly nominated In
this manner, except when running
upon nomination papers, but tho bill
contains no provision showing how
nomination papers shall bo prepared.
."or docs It provide any means whrJ
by a ciiulid.UQ of one part tor In
stance, a candidate for Judge can ho
indexed lor nomination by tho voters
of anoth'r party.
Compared with the Minnesota pri
mary law, a summary of which an-
pears elsewhire on this page, tho Fllnn
Mil Is weal; and watery. The latter,
however, should not he taken too ro
urmsly. li ninn thought It stood any
show of passing he would be the fii3t
politician in tho state to pull It in.

Military Instruction in School.
AV INTEItUSTING legislative
proposition comes from
School Controller Lattlmer
or Allegheny, who wan to
c very s -hool to have a drill room and
a paid inlllt.iry instructor, to teach
to the boys in the public schools all
tiiu military tactics which tliflr biff
brothers would learn In the National
Oiwril. Whenever 100 boys come to
Rothvr for drill In ono school Mr. Lat
tlmer'H idea Is to have them regulat
ly organized Into a military company
with a captain to be appointed by thu
Kovernrtr and a lull quota of subordi
nate oflicers. Tha captain Is to be Iho
Inattuclor and Is to tecclvo 3 for each
Uason of 2 or moro hours In length,
nt 2cJ!t ono lesson and drill to bo
provided each week. During drill thu
hoys are to bo under military disci
pline precisely as Is the volunteer
membership of the National Guard.
Enrolment for military Instruction Is,
of course, optional, and the drilling ti
to be outside of school hours.
Nothing llko this proposed arrange
ment exists; In any stato but the Idea
has the hearty sanction of the United
State3 commissioner of education, who
Intends to bring It to tho attention of
school authorities generally, and Its
merit Is obvious. All healthy boys
relish exercise of this kind and all
need tho discipline It nffords. It would
combine useful Instruction with
healthful and wholesome pleasure and
In competent hands would constitute
a good nursery of practical patriotism.
Iu view of tho fact that tho United
Gtotes must always rely largely upon
Its volunteer soldiery In cases of seri
ous emergency tho advantage In having
steady means of training the young
men in tho requirements of military
service needs no explanation. Kven

Good Roads.
I
F PHllSISTKNCE were not an
American trait, the subject of
road reform would long since
have been abandoned In Penn
sylvania, Beeslon after session the
legislature has been asked by an al
most unanimous expression of public
opinion to provide ways and mctans
for Improving tho dirt highways of tha
commonwealth, and session after
session this demand has been Juggled
with and evaded through the fear of
tho rural districts that better roads
might cost something.
As a matter of fact, It would much
better pay the people of the state, In
tho long run, to reduce the Inordinate
state school appropriation for n pcilod
of years to the extent of $1,000,000 a
year; or to defer the completion of tho
present unsightly now capltol; or even
to compress somewhat the allotments
of slate aid to various local charitable
Institutions, and to apply tho money
thus released to tho construction of
first class trunk roads than to let the
notation for road improvement year
after year get no further than the
stage of talk. Tho present average
country road U more than a drawback
to those misguided economists who,
by opposing Its improvement, stand In
their own light. It Is a handicap upon
the entire commonwealth; nn Impedi
ment alike to the development of farm
values and to tho growth of village
and city trade: and an obstruction
upon the education and culturo of the
farmer's children which Is detrimental
to every social Interest.
In these days our cities are over
crowded and as a result of the con
tinual lnpour of new population from
tho country are developlngsoclal prob
lems which appall the stoutest hearts.
Vet why does tho country youth almost
from IiIh lit a t moments of conscious
ness aspho to bo in and of tho town?
Study It Is not a necessary tendency
that the vocation of the farmer, which
of all occupations should be the most
healthful und free from worry, should
be despised by those bied to It. AVe
may bo nuie that If this tendency ex
ists tho farmer himself has much to
do with It, and his responsibility for
making his sons and daughters so
unhappy upon tho old homestead that
they will seize tho first opportunity to
add themselves to tho seething human
masses congregated In tho cities Is
profound. That he, by deliberate pref
erence for Isolation, by starvation of
the social Instincts, by willingness to
remain in tho ruts that his grand
father made, Is largely responsible,
who will dispute?
Good roads are necessary to the
preservation of agriculture. They are
necessary to tho maintenance of farm
life. They are required as one big Item
In a programme to popularize It and
bring social advantages home to the
now discontented dwellers upon our
farms. They ate essential to tho
economic support of tho cities, and
to their social relief from tho over
pressure of unhealthy and abnormal
growth. Every citizen Is interested In
them. The 'benefits which they will
create every citizen will share. Their
cost should thcrefoie be apportioned so
as to fall upon all. That done, they
should be built: they are long over
due. It Is now time for the man who
shovels snow to oiganUs himself.
A Condition, Not n Theory.
Tun nncoMMi:rcDATioN on
the stato charities boaid
that tho legislature appro
priate for tho ensuing two
years more than ten and a halt mil
lions of dollars In aid of 133 pilvato
cnartties or cliarltablo institutions not
under btate control Is receiving tho
customaty amount of criticism from
those who question the propilety of
state grants for local purposes: and
there is nlso objection to the boatd's
practice of asking for larger appropri
ations than it expects the legislature
to allow. The allowance last session
was less than $3,000,000 for all form's
of charity and benevolence and the to
tal iccommendallon this session Is for
more than $11,000,000, obviously tn ex
cess of what Is expected.
Of course In theory this Is censur
Rblo but, when the legislative practice
Is to make horizontal reductions In
tho board's recommendations without
.. i, ,Di,in.ni t... .,...
v
r' " ." -""-."," '" ""I"
than purely political Influences, it ia
a vvasto of encray to complain of the
baord's pioccdure. The method of
charity disbursements as cstabllshei
at Hnrrlsburg Is not unlike the method
of river und harbor dlsburFementa as
established at Washington. Thoso
who aro modest In asking aro gener
ally slow in receiving. And fo long
as a disbursement Is made, those who
fall to get what share they can of It
have scant consolation In tho thought
that some of the other fellows te
celved mote than they wero entitled to.
In tho mlllennlil days to como all
this will be icddjustod on tho basis
of perfect equity, but nowadays It li
rt, condition, not a theory, which con
fronts the boaid of charities.
It is ically a pity that good old
American namea like Guggenhclmer
and Van "vVyek should be Identified
with the refusal to grant a token of
respect to tho Into Queen of Ungland.
If the border homers fall to grab a

dence and plicc of blrlh, ele. lie Is then rrK
lUcrcd by the bof.rd. In the country ilUtrlcta
the town boardi meet on a cr i lain day bafoio
earli election and copy tho old list, adding
to them any who may pen-orally appear, or any
one who is known by the boaid to have lecom
a voter.
Mlnneaota has tho Australian bullet and booth
aro erected In every district In which votera
can secretly mark their ballot. Tlil, In brief.
Is tho Minnesota election law which exlited
when the primary law was pawed. The idtl cf
the primary law wia to eU out a many volcti
aj powlble, and have the nominating secret, and
yet hao party His9 drawn, so that no man
could help nominate two ticket. The first
idea was accomplished in thta manner. If a
voter could register for (frnernl election, and
voto for nominees at tho same time, It was an
incentive for him to Ret out and remitter on
that day. Tho result proved tLo Idea.
The Day prlmvry la v provides that the fiist
registration day for tho general election flail
be held seven weeks previous to a general elec
tion, instead of three weeks, as under the elec
tion law. Thus, tho first registration day was
set back, in order to give a thirty-day campaign.
In the country dUtricU the same day was
rained, and those who came to vole at s primary
only were required to register personally. After
that the town boird met ns formerly and lilted
up the list. Tho primary law required that on
the first registration diy, which was the primary
election da.v, the booths should bo erected iu
all the voting' districts, and that tie rcguUr
irglstrallon olHci'M should become ofKceis for
the primary election without any addition tl
tecompense. 1hi teglsttatlon boardi wito al
lowed to call to their avilitance such addition tl
clerks m wero necessary to aslst in the ballot.
In?. To provide for this theie wcie two addi
tional dirks appointed ia every city ditritt,
and they vvcio ample. In the country lliy need
ed none.
When the voter went to a poll to vote it was
a vety simple matter. Kven if lie liad not
previously known ot the prlmiry election and
went there solely to register It took but s inj
mont to Instruct him that he could voto for bis
choice for nominees for a,ll officers to be elected.
Ho was then registered, alter being sworn, and
the ballot Judgo banded him two tickets, ex
actly the same xlzo and color, evert beaded in
laigo letter with the tunic ot a party. He
was Instructed that he could take both tickets
Into tho booth, but could tnatk but etie of tho
tickets, although ho must return both to the bal
lot Judges, folded together. Thitf, the vote was
a secret one. The plan worked so well that in
one district In the city 103 votes had been polled
at S o clock a. in.
The polls wero kept opcu from 0 o'clock In
the morning until 0 o'clock in the cm nine, and
the law providis that all pehons in line at
that time must bu voted befoic the polls wero
clojeJ, but no new -lnhal titer 0 o'clock is
entitled to a vole. Alter the voting of the day
It over tbete still remains under the general elec
tion law two clcjs in which the registry board
meets to icgWer the balance; of tho voters who
have not voted nt the primary election, but there
is no more voting for nominees, those not ap
pearing on Iho flrst diy losing1 their vote for
primary choice.
o
After the polls are closed the Judges and
clerks opm the ballot box and sort the balloU.
They Urt open the folded ticket and look to
tee it mere than one ticket has been voted. If
a mistake has been made and a voter has tried
to vote on two tickets the Judges take only the
ballot upon which arc the tnot marks and place
Hut upon its parly pile, discarding the other
ballot entirely. Thin, no matter how the voter
lias tried to manipulate by marking some names
on both tickets, only the one vvldcli was evident
ly tho party of I1L1 choice, Judged by the num
ber of votes marked, is taken into considera
tion. This is the safety of the new law, which
compels a man to vote for one party only, no
matter whit bis intentions mav have been to
ward manipulation. It is the evpcrlenco of peo
ple versed In criminal procedure that it is Im
possible ly the making of laws to prevent peo
ple from dolni; vviong acts If it li possible to
do them. Tho only way to prevent it is to
make it impossible for tin in to be committed.
o
Fo it Is with the direct primary law, as op
erated in Minnesota. A voter mu3t vote hl
own tlikct. for this reason: there is ouly one
ticket, with no division, aiid the name of every
tanddate In that party tunning for ofllco is on
that ticket, b" he a city, county, legislative,
j judicial or di-trkt officer. Thu, where there
i aro wauls when a domlt.ant party rules, and
the weaker party liilvht desire to scheme eo as
to place a wc.i't sldermanlo candidate on tho
opposition ticket, he is piohiblted from doin;
so, btcaust in older to vote in that other bal
lot he must sacrifice all bis voles for his party
for Judicial, county, district, legislative and city
candidates. It is this lariro ballot, with noth
ing separating county from city, city from dis
trict or legislative from atdcrmanlc, that pre
vents manipulation entiicl.v.
o
Theru is another provision in the printing
of ballots which is erlircly new, and which is
to be Incorporated into the general election law.
When tho ticket is rrintcd an equal number
of impressions are made of tha ballot, Willi
names In diflcrcnt positions, the names being
alternated as many times as theru are names in
the otilcial dlvhion containing the most candi
dates. As cvciy change is made the namu at
I the top is placed at the bottom of that list, and
I ,IC otlcr ,llmu ,,i10, cj w (0 M t0 maka t10
first name come lsst. This does away with tho
uiifalrncKi and the benefit glvin the first nami
on tho ballot in the election.
o
Under the Mlnn:sota general election law then
has alwajs been an opening for independent
candidates getting on the general election ticket,
after tho convention nominations. The ouly
thing that was uccttsary was fcr tlicin to se
euio a certain percent uo of tho votcis of a
dlitrlct In which they live to sign a petition
(or their candidacy. This is presented to the
auditor, who then places the mine of the party
upon the ticket as an independent Candida le.
That part of the law i kept intact by the pri
mary law. Hut aside from tho allowanre ot
an independent candidate the law specifically
piovldcs tint nominations for political parties
by anj clher plan than by tha direct primary
piovuiru ior aro proniniieu ana unlaw (ul.
Until r the primary elect on law a political paity
Is deiiiied as a party which at the last general
clectlin ca.t at least 10 per cent, of the total
voto cast at tl o election far its leading candi
date, or a party which shall procure a petition
slfned by at least 10 per cent, cf tho total vote
cf a county, asking for a party ticket. In no
other way can a party be recognlicd. No other
nisnnir is allowed for getting on a general elec
tion ballot, except by nomination by a political
party as defined, and as an Independent candi
dal at provided by law. This shuts out any
scheming by convention that mi-l.t be Indulged
in by dissatisfied patties or people, and pre
vents a multiplicity of tickets to cut up the
vote.
o
When the friends of a person or the peiton
himself desires to be a candidate for any posi
tion In the gift of tho people, he Is rcrrulrcd
to first secure a petition signed by names o
voters to tho number of at least 5 per cent, of
Hie number of votes cast in his party for the
same position for which be desires to run, at tho
last election, and, laving secured them, lie pre
sents the petition tn the county auditor, pays u
fee V $10 to partly defray the expenses ol the
ballots. Eleven dsyi before the date of the
primary election the auditor groups the candi
dates by oWces, makes up sample ballot and
posts it in bis cilice, and tha neift day ha de
livers tho tickets to Hits printer to be printed.
The provisions for printing the ballot are con-
