Several papers have been pointing to the large number of candidates whick will appear on the primary election ballots as one of the bad features of such a law. They say that the old convention system was better in that a candidate had to show some strength before he would win a nomination whereas now any man can file and take a chance. This attitude is wrong, the Pio- neer believes, and does not take into consideration the progress which has been made in the mechanics of gov- ernment during the past ten or fif- teen years. Instead of looking back- ward to the old convention system, the bondage of which the voters of Minnesota have just escaped, citizens should be looking forward to and working for the time when national politics will not be allowed to in- trude on state, county and city elec- tions. Unbiased students of American government are agreed that one of the worst evils with which progres- sive citizens have to deal is that of party politics in small political di- visions. Party leaders are able to build up strong machines by holding up the fetish of party solidarity to the view of the voters. up a certain class of men which vote the same ticket and vote it straight year after yeér, these bosses are able to control elections. The national parties have no con- cern with local issues. Their ques- tions are those of the nation at large. One party may please a large num- ber of voters in national issues and yet be entirely out of harmony in state politics. It may please in state politics, but in municipal affairs be In fact, the situation thai confronts the voters of Minne- sota this year is somewhat of this nature. The passing of the convention system in Minnesota did away with state party assemblies in which defi- nite lines were laid down on which the campaign was to be based. As a consequtnce, six men are running for the Republican nomination for governor and no two are running on the same platform. There are two impossible. running for the Democratic nomina- tion and the Socialists, Socialist La- Lor and Prohibition parties each have cne candidate, making eleven candi- dates for one office. This is not the fault of the primaries but of the idea men have that each party must be represented on the ballot. In city elections, the new idea is gaining headway and each year sees more men running as Independents and without party designations, no matter how they may stand in na- tional aifairs. Instead of going back to the old convention system with its many possibilities of dirty poli- tics, the voters of Minnesota should work forward to the time when there wil 1be no party stamp on any man running for a state, county or city office. Then each man will be running on his own merits; then the bosses will bs unable to use the party whip; then the common people Wwill not have extraneous issues thrown at them in order that the vital ones may be concealed and forgotten; and then the men who vote the minority tick- et will not be disfranchised. The convention system is past. Let it be- come a memory. But blame the fet- ish of party loyalty rather than the primary system for the large num- ber of candidates this year. A Correction.

BAILEY, MINNESOTA READ THE PIONEER WANT ADS Golden Grain Belt, Where Best Barley on Earth is Grown. HE GREAT NORTHWEST has come into its own, not only its large crops of the present year, but in one of the big results of the work of the famers of this section. It is a known fact that good beer can only be made with barley. Fair beer that will pass in some families, is made with other grains, but for the real malt product, such as physicians recommend, the best of barley must be used for making the malt. Nor does extra fine beer-making depend upon. foreign hops, for right in the] great far northwest are grown the world, especially for medicine where tonics are needed. It was natural, therefore, that by the help of the farmers, it should come to pass that the northwest should become .famous for an exceptional quality and flavor of old aged beer, and that credit has been given to Golden Grain Belt Beers by no less critics than experts from the home of beer, the lands of Germany and Austria. - While much of this was due to the superior quality of the barley for which northwestern farmers secured and’ do secure, prices far in advance a model brewery in order to give a fair test to the home grown barley of the Golden Grain Belt. That test has been made, and the result is a widen- ing demand for the Golden Grain Belt Beers, made from the products of the northwestern fields. And so great is the increase that the Minneapolis Brewing company asks the farmers of the northwest to grow more barley in order that there may be a plentiful supply. Many farmers are taking ad- vantage of the help of the state farms and are selecting the finer varieties in order that they may get still more fancy prices than they have been se- curing. The foxy farmer, these days, is the one who turns his fancy away from wheat as an entire crop, and puts in a goodly acreage of barley. He sees the difference in the steady high price of the brewer’s grain. The Minneapolis Brewing Company has done more than its share in creat- finest hops for many purposes in the ‘.'_—_ had won first prize on his school garden. The Pioneer is in error in giving the names of the parents, as it was the son of Mr. and Mrs. M. ~ SUPERB PLANT OF THE MINNEAPOLIS All Visitors to Minneapolis are Invited to of wheat, it was necessary to perfect ing these high prices for northwestern barley. Many American brewers have made fun of its management because of the lavish way in which it has equipped the brewery at Minneapolis with every modern fanciful device for the making of pure aged beer. You must remember that there is a vast difference in beer. Old beer, properly lagered, is an assistant to health and digestion. Cheap, newly made beer is just the opposite and will give heartburn and sour stomach because it ferments in the stomach. Aged beer costs more to make because there must be.immense storage capacity, perfectly sterile, and cooled to a frac- tion of a degree for months. Cheap, newly made beer can be made one day and shipped to the customer in a day or two after, the “sparkle” having been artifically given. That is why it can be sold cheap, although often it is sold for the same price as aged beer. So keenly did the brewmaster of the Minneapolis Brewing company watch the growth of brewing that, of late, Golden Grain Belt Beers have been given a place of honor among beers of the world. Foreign brewers, journeying through America, carried home with them, praises of the brew- ery where Golden Grain Belt Beers are brewed, as a model plant, worth studying in perfecting their own breweries. Furthermore, these experts save handsome praise by stating that the Golden Grain Belt Beers were the best they had tasted in the west. At this Minneapolis brewery, where all Golden Grain Belt Beers are bot- tled, there is one of the few govern- ment tanks of the country, so that the beer is bottled direct from a sealed tank instead of being drawn from barrels. This gives a purer product and admits of greater age and hence better medicinal properties. Is it any wonder that every one connected with the Minneapolis Brewing Com- pany are proud of their beer; and wel- come strangers to visit their brewery at any and all times? When you come to Minneapolis, don’t fail to visit the great model brewery of the Minneapolis Brewing Company where Golden Grain Belt Beers are brewed and aged. Guides will take you on the half-hour trip which you will say, when completed, was one of the most interesting of your lifetime. You will not be shown the very largest brewery in the world, but you will see one that is noted as being one of the most perfect. The latch string is out, and any time you are in Minneapolis you are welcome. You must come prepared to expect a fine trip. Courteous guides will ex- plain every point, and you will learn why Dr. P. M. Hall, noted health com- missioner, stated that the only way milk could be made safe to use, would be by adopting the kind of methods used in this great brewery.
