PRIMARY ELECTION REFORM.

“There is uo ro< in for doubt,” say;: the In-’ianapolis Sentinel “th: t a strop > novement or reforn. in pri 11 ejections is pass*, ing over the country, and th meaning of it is that the thinking p ople have come to see that the preservat'on of government by the'people defends on absolute .airness hi the selection of candidates, a» well as in voting for them. It is often the case that in a regular election the voter is forced to a choice bet veen two evils, simply because both of the leading oarties have pu up candidates that are not satisfactory by ordinal y primary me hods, and the fundamental principle of primary reform is to give the voters in each party a fair opportunity to saj whom they desire for candidates. The strength of the sentiment in favor of this is shown by the fart tint on Wednesday last tne primary reform bill oassed both houses of the New York legislature without a dissent ing vote. Doubtless there were some mem I ers who would have lik id to see the bill killed, but there was not one who ventured to put himself on record against it. In Chicago vigorous efforts are being madefox the co;- plete enforcement of the Illinois primary ’aw, a d for the punishment of those who violated it in the late primaries .. This also is evidence of th - strong sentiment of purifying elections throughout. It is evident that this movement is largely the result of the ballot reform movement which has been so uniformly successful in the various states. The agita’ion for that turned the minds of the people to the principles of popular government as they had not been turned for years, and the great succ ss of the ballot reform laws has impresses on everybody the fact that any evil of government can be corrected if the cause of the evil is first carefully searched out and remedy is aps plied. Ihe evils ip primary elections are sevei al. One of the first is juncertaiuty as to time and place of holding them. It is a common trick to organize them a little early or late, or io meet and adjourn to some ulace not specified in the call, or to comply nominally but not really with the provisions of the call. Another is in the un just exercise of arbitrary power by the chairman, who often discounts speaker Reed in the exercise of de spot c power. Motions ar? declared carried, divisions refused, and meetings adjourned with practically no regal d for the rules of parliamentary proceeding or ordinary fairne s. Another is running in voters who do not belong to the party holding the primaries and who have no right to vote in them. This is one or the most serious evils and one of the most difficult to meet without a very radical change of procedure.

“It is generally conceded by those who have studied the subject that theie can be no adequate remedy lor these evils, in cities at least, without putting primaries on 'he same basis as regular elections and throwing aiound them all the safeguards provided by law for such elections. This, of course, would necessitate holding all primaries of all parties at the same time and place, as there wo Id have to be oflicial supervision, and the expense alo e of sepa ate pi ipiaries would be too great a burden... Moreover, there is no other way in which a voter can be restricted to his own party. Of course a voter could declare allegience to another party, with which he had no intention of voting, and aid in selecting his candidates, but he would lose his vise in his own party by so doing, and there is little probability that many voters would oo that. This would also insure the holding of primaries at some known p lace and the keeping them Open until | the voters had a fair opportunity to

Whtn urine stains ■men it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

WHAT TO DO, There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder,and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and schlding pain in passing it, or bi d effect following use of liquor wint or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compel ed to get up many times during the night to urinate.
