This law provides for at pre-primary election caucus and con- vention system with ‘a minority and majority representation in all cay- euses and. conventions. Under the pri- mary election law which we now have in North Dakota, the candidates for the respective parties are selected first and the platform of the party’ written afterwards. Under the Richards plan the platform’ is first decided on and candidates chosen because of bei: thors or able advocates of the is: involved in their respective platforms.

That is a ‘substitute for the saloon. They are not approaching the. sub- ject with ‘any false nations. They know what a bane and source of deg- radation the saloon has been. They know also the saloon has been a focal point, a social center, for millions of persons. They know that to many men home means: little more than a place in which to eat and sleep -and that the majority of men have not-re- sources within themselves for ratialal recreation as amusement. ‘They know that liquor drinking is a habit handed down through the ages, and that by legal enactment a custom go deeply rooted through the centuries cannot be cured unless something takes ity place that fs ‘negrly’as; satisfactory. Government officials. at Washing- ton have no doubt ‘that nation-wide prohibition is going to precipitate one of the gravest situations: this country has faced. They have no chaft to guide their course, for this 1s the first great country to’ adopt prohibition Russia excepted, and that does not count. _They are making provision to meet the situation as best they can but their: experience. thus. far serves only to make them appreciate-the magni- tude of the job they have to handle. The south—practically all of it—is officially“ dry,” yet never has there been so much moonshining in the south as since the prohibitory laws went into effect there and whiskey— vile whiskey—is sold clandestinely, despite the law. Because it offers. profit undreamt ‘of jn: former times, jmoonshining has been taken up by men who never engaged in it before. The government found whiskey so plentiful in army “camps in the south that it was forced to act. , It formed, under Colonel Daniel Porter, what {s known ag the “flying: squadrop,”,.a special force which -has,,cooperated with state bodies to,.combat the evil Nearly 500 illicit. stills "have been de- stroyed by the: raiders within, seven months. .
