Jan. 4—That strange looking affair now heaving into view on the Minnesota horizon is the new denatured primary law. Be it understood that this creature is neither man nor beast and whether it is harmfui depends pretty much upon your own viewpoint. Anyhow, they are getting ready to put it inte operation. So on the sec- {ond Tuesday in March—March 14 this year—the first state-wide activity of the new statute will take place when elections are held to name del- egates to a county convention. This county convention in turn will name delegates to-State conventions where candidates for state offices and United States senator will be “in- dorsed” on the republican and demo- cratie ticke That doesn’t mean that no one else can become a candidate.

But Mike's heaith has been poor and some folk are unkind enough to say that so has his system. Anyhow, a clash between Mike and Julius ought to be as pretty a race as a rabbit going down a moenlit road in front of a red hot flivver. And there is talk of just such a con- test J. V. Weber, the Slayton eaftor, says tn his Murray County Herald: Jultus Schmall still has no end of ®ood friends in Minnesota but a straw - vote among them would, we are sure, reveal the fact that the real majority favor Mike Holm for secretary of state for at least a second term. If lulius has the office itch he should scrateh in another place.” Comes also E. B.
