The great battle, it is expected, will be-for the senate, and yet on the face of the returns the county optionists have a better show for the senate than for the house, says the Minneapolis Jour- nal. There are sixty-seven senators to elect. Twelve of them are already as good as elected, since there was but one filing in each district. Of these twelve, six are counted as for county option, and six against it. In fourteen districts both the nomin- ees are claimed to favor county op- tion, while in eleven both of them are opposed to the bill. In thirty districts the issue is raised, with one candidate for county option and the other against it. This gives the county option forces twenty sure seats, and the antis seventeen with thirty in doubt. The county option- ists need to capture fourteen of the thirty to pass their bill in the sen- ate. In the house the county option- ists have a smaller proportion of seats “‘cinched.” There are 130 house members to be elected. There are seven county option candidates who have no opposition, and eighteen dis- tricts where two county optionists are running against each other. There are four districts where there are two members to elect and four nominees, in which the county op- tionists have three out of the four no- minees and so are sure of one sent in each district. In Ottertail county with four members to elect, the coun- ty optionists have six out of eight nominees, and so are sure of two out of four members. This makes thirty- one seats sure for county option. There are thirty districts having each one house member. where both can- didates are against county option, and two districts which elect two members each, where all the nomin- ees are against county option. There are three other districts where the “antis" have three out of four can- didates, and are sure of one place in each district, making thirty-seven seats that seem to be sure for the “antis.” That leaves sixty-two places in doubt and the county optionists need to capture thirty-five of them in order to have a majority in the house.

He recommends the adoption of the program of-the commission appointed by the state’s Repnblican executive, and thereby shows that, to him, as well us to the roajority of the voters, it is more im- portant to have the right principles cf government prevail than to have a certain political party or a spe- ¢ial candidate come out victorious.— Mountain Lake View. —— The primary system is'wrong from any angle one may look at it.

The contest between Rines and Preus is a fair example of the crookedness of the thing. Block coming into the race prevented a majority candidate being possible. Who he wanted to defeat is a matter we are not wise to, but we do not think that he expected to be nomin- ated. Then there’s the second choice rot.
