The action of the DemocraticCommittee of the Third AppellateDistrict last week calling a pri¬bm e
our nominee and assessing eat
thcandidat erace does not appeal to us astruly Democratic We havenever favored a plan to shut outany worthy aspirant for any posi-
tion¬
of public trust and honorA primary means that those whoseek office must have money andwithoutit they can not aspireSuch a policy in our judgment isnot in accord with Democraticprinciples A primary may befair an-
exPensived it may be unfair but it is
and carries no moresafeguards against frauds thadelegated conventions which areinexpensive and unobstructive tothose without a big balance ttheir credit in bank Year byyear the money influence is prov-
ing¬
its power in both politicalparties It is shutting out thman who qualifies without cashWe believe in a fair free expres-sion
¬
of the people in the mostnatural way to select their candi ¬
dates and also in the rights ofevery man to seek a positionwithout the loss of a single dol ¬
1 lar Our fears may not Provcorrect but the time will comeaccording to our views when thcostly methods of a primary willprove disastrous to our party un¬
less they are abondoned Theyoung man who prepares himselffor usefulness in the politicalfield of action has but little show-
ing¬
under present action and ten¬
dencies This paper has neverfavored a high tariff it believesin equal privileges for all and afree fair opportunity for every I
Democrat whether he has a mil¬
lion or as poor as a church mouseIn justice to our member of thecommittee Mr Gordon Mont-
gomerY he voted for a conven ¬
lion and his vote was the onlyone favoring it
The Supreme Cort of the UniteStates in an opinion rendere-last week decided it could notoffer relief to Jim Howard charg¬
ed with the murder of Gov Goebel Howard will now go to thepenitentiary for life his attorneystating that he had done all hecould
A meeting of the DemocraticCommittee of the Third AppellateDistrict was held in Lebanon lastweek and decided that our can ¬
didate should be selected by aprimary Tune the 2nd This ac¬
tion virtually gives Mr Hobsonai open unobstructed path tosucceed himself and so far as wepan see believe him entitled to itby merit It is not likely thatanother aspirant will plank down200000 to enter a race against
Judge Hobson
The call from Gov Beckham foran extra session of the Legisla-ture
¬
for the purpose of placinga part of the burden of taxationOil the whisky interest of theState is highly commendable aridmarks our chief executive as aman of determination a Gover-nor
¬
who has the courage to gor r against a powerful interest whose
efforts through lobyists hadpractically set the bounds of the

revenue biland left the rectifiersthe beneficiaries of their effortsThe call came like a clap ofthunder in an unclouded sky tothe Legislature just as it wasready to adjourn but there isnot a doubt as the Governorsposition in this matter He isright In the face of such appo-sition and such powerful influent-Gov Beckham shows a game andpatriotic man That this step ifor the good of the State and thpeople at large can notbe disput¬
ed nor doubted The Legislaturewill doubtless pass a law in accordwith tIle Governors wishes
