Early reports from the election precinets indicate that the real trou- ble with the present primary does not lie in the large number of candidates which it brings out nor in the sec- ond choice feature, but in the man- ner in which the ballots are made up. The confusing feature is that the Lallots as printed ask a voter to ex- press a second choice not only where there are three or more candidates for the same office, but in many cases where there are two or even one. For instance, on the Beltrami Re- publican ballot, the voter was asked to express a first and second choice on Torrance and Campbell, candidates for county attorney, when on the count the first choice votes only will count. In case of County Auditor George, the voter was asked to ex- press a first and second choice when there was only one candidate. All this makes confusion, not only for the voters, but for the judges. In case of the Socialist. ballot, there were no contests. On each of the party ballots, there appeared men who had no opposition and who would be nominated did they get but one There were eight different ballots printed for Beltrami county. Under a change in the law which would put a short ballot in the hands of the voters, it would be necessary vote, to print only those names where there were two or more candidates for the party nomination. In case but one man files, he should by that fact become the party candidate and his name should not go on the primary ballot. Second choice votes should only be asked for where there are three or more candidates. The small number of second choices expressed shows that the voters did not under- stand this provision. In order to tabulate the returns, the Pioneer selected the contests and made a ballot which was sent to the township clerks. This ballot con- tained fifty-five names and covered every contest in the state or county. The primary law could be so amend- ed that it would be unnecessary to print more than these fifty-five names, with a second ballot for the women where three or more run for county superintendent of schools. The primary is all right and must stay; but the machinery of the pri- mary should be so changed that the present confusion and duplication can be avoided. Pre-election Claims. On Monday the following claims were made: For W. E. Lee—W. 0. Clure esti- mates Tuesday’s first choice vote: Lee, 45,000; Eberhart, 30,000; Young, 25,000; Gordon, 10,000; Spooner, 7,000; Falk, 3,000. For E. T. Young—Kay Todd claims Young will have a majority of first choice votes, will carry seven out of vine districts, and names sixty-two counties out of eighty-six he will car- ry. For A. 0. Eberhart—Ralph W. Wheelock says the governor will re- ceive a substantial plurality,” if not an actual majority, and will have 2 good second choice vote. For L. C. Spooner—C. L. Sawyer says Spooner will hold his own with any of the others outside of Henne- pin, and hopes to carry the nomina- tion by a big vote in Hennepin. For S. Y. Gordon—Mr. Gordon be- lieves he will have a plurality, but says he has been hampered by tactics of the brewers and by other candi- dates coming out in his territory. For Knute Nelson—W. H. Grim- shaw predicts Nelson will carry at least seventy-five counties and will bave a majority over all candidates for senator. For James A. Peterson—W. T. Coe claims 15,000 plurality for Peterson 1903—Forest fires raged through New England. 1911—In a speech at Detroit, Pres- ident Taft defended the supreme court decisions. THIS IS MY 50th BIRTHDAY. The Duke of Leeds, who recently paid his first visit to Canada and the United States, was born Sept. 10, 1862. The first Duke of Leeds be- came lord high treasurer of Eng- land, and was the well known min- ister of Charles II. The present duke succeeded his father in the title in 1895. He was a member of parlia- ment from 1887 until he succeeded to the peerage. From 1895 to 1901 he was treasurer of the household and he has since been a member of the London county council. The Duke possesses an estate of about 25,- 000 acres. The ancestral seat is Hornby Castle, a fine stone castellat- ed structure situated in Yorkshire. In 1884 the Duke was married to the daughter of the second Earl of Dur- lam. The Duchess is a brilliant woman and is well known as a writ- er. S Congratulations to: John T.
