North Dakota Primaries.
Kansas City Journal : After a
their persistent laudation of the pi
mary as an instrument to register tl
"will of tlit people , " the Rooseve
managers now confess that the pi
mary system as utilized in the noiul ;
ation of party candidates Is a frain
Ever since the colonel throw his h ;
Into the ring lie lias boon howling fc
primaries. He said that this was tli
only way the Roosevelt strength conl
bo correctly measured and that an
other method of nomination woul
mean "disfranchisement" of ropubl
can voters.
In North Dakota there was held
state-wide legal primary on Tuesda ;
It was just the sort of primary tin
the Roosevelt managers have been s
noisily demanding all along. Hut tli
result of tlmt primary' made tli
Roosevelt managers sick. They claii
in loud ami complaining tones tli ;
the democrats Voted In the republiea
primaries and thus gave -the state t
LnKollcjtte. Hero is the formal stat <
mont Issued by John S. Bass , man !
ger of the Roosevelt campaign 1
North Dakota :
"Our reports indicate that praet
rally all the democrats have vote
for LaKollotto , and this has run u
the early returns for him In the eas
orn and valley section of the stat
where LaKollotto is running ahea
about two to one. Our later retiiri
from the western slope indicate thi
country is generally for Itooseve
Iwo lo one. If the democrats lui
stayed out of the republican primal
there is no question that Roosovc-
would have won. "
As a specific demonstration of tl
truth of the republican contentici
that the primary Is a fraud and fal
uro , this confession from Roosevelt
own manager on the ground Is co
elusive. Wherever the primary lit
boon trletl It has been conducive i
dishonesty and Illegality. This is tl
sort of thing that Stubbs In Knnsi
has boon demanding and that Rees
volt himself has zealously Inslstc
upon. Hut it has worked Just as Tl
Journal and Taft supporters goticn
ly have said it would , only in tl
North Dakota Instance LaKollette wi
the beneficiary and Roosevelt los
Hud Roosevelt received the dem
cratlc votes as ho would have doi
In Kansas and elsewhere his ma
agers would have had no complal
, o mako. They would have accepted
ho fraudulent democratic votes grate-
'tilly , although It would have boon
list as fraudulent and ns Illegal as
ivore the democratic votes that were
as ! In the republican primary of
N'orth Dakota.
No system of primary has boon de
vised that can be rolled on to demonstrate -
strato a true party preference. That
s the reason why the real repnbll-
ans of Kansas want nothing to do
.vltli It. Instead of Insuring an lion-
si party choice , It gives the opposi
tion an opportunity to take part In
ho nomination and help the weakest
andldato. The Roosevelt managers
uivo had a bitter dose of their own
medicine. They have been loudly
lemandlng primaries , and they got
them In North Dakota , and the re-
sull has caused consternation. In
stead of the democrats voting for
Uoosovelt In that state , they voted
for'LaKollctto. . It makes all the dif
ference In the world who gets the
fraudulent votes In a primary. Had
hose In North Dakota gone tt ) Roosevelt
velt , there would have been great re-
lolclng in Oyster Hay ami the cole
nel's headquarters would liavo hulled
the result as the uninufflcd voice of
the people. Hut as they wont to the
Colonel's opponent , the North Da
kota primaries an- denounced anil
repudiated , -as they should he In all
cases where they are. unfair and un
trustworthy , which is In about 100
per cent of the cases.
