DECLINE OF THE
DIRECT PRIMARY
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin:
Colorado, its Senate finally passing
a bill to repeal the direct primary
law, registers a suspicion of the
political value of that device which
has been taking form more and more
definitely for some years in a good
many parts of the country.
If it goes into the discard, no-
body can complain that the primary j
election has not had a fair trial. ]
Right after the Civil War California i
am| New York adopted optional pri-
mary systems which political parties
could make elective. Gradually such
systems became general, each State
holding primaries under State and
not party auspicies, with secret bal-
lots and regular election officers
operating with corrupt practices
acts. But the results have not been
very valuable.
Primaries have enormously added
to cost of elections. They have
multiplied candidates, and added
vastly to their expenditures. Un-
fortunately, instead of putting pub-
lic office more easily within the
reach of men of merit, but lacking
means, they have tended rather to
give the man with plenty of money
for professional election work an
undue advantage.
But perhaps the greatest objection
has been that, while under the con-
vention plan, and especially in
States with political parties fairly
balanced a well-rounded ticket was
usually possible, under the primary
plan, on the contrary, the door was
opened to all sorts of cranks and
propagandists. The political party
plays too important a part in our
Government to remain permanently
under such handicaps. The pendu-
lum is swinging back in many “re-
forms” these days.

MANGLED BODIES OF
TWO MEN FOUND
Ground and cut to death, the
bodies of two men were found on
the Fort Worth & Denver tracks,
three miles this side of Estelline,
at 8 o’clock Tuesday morning and
brought to Childress by a section
crew. According to Sheriff John
Compton, who identified the bodies,
the men spent Monday night in the
Childress County jail. They were
picked up on the streets Monday
evening by officers and gave their
names as Jack Collins and Ed Kim-
ball. They said they were from
Houston, Texas. Release was grant-
ed them Tuesday morning. Both
men looked to be between 25 and
30 years of age.
As yet, neither of them has been
authentically identified and the bod-
ies are being held at the funeral
parlors of the Clyde E. Owen Under-
taking establishment. Reports have
been circulated over a wide area by
Sheriff Compton in an effort to es-
tablish their identity.
It is believed that the two men
growing weary of their tramp, lay
down on the railroad track and fell
asleep, believing that the noise of
an approaching train would awaken
them. Another theory is, that the
men might have been riding a mov-
ing train and one loosing his footing
dragged his companion with him be-
neath the moving wheels.
So maimed and disfigured are their
features that any clue to their iden-
tity is very difficult to establish. The
face of one of the victims was torn
away and his arms and legs severed
from his body, while his comrade was
completely decapitated and the lower
limbs badly crushed. A thorough
search by officers revealing no cards
of identification or letters that would
lead to any enlighting information.
Both men were attired in work
clothes and both wore caps. Two
sacks of smoking tobacco and an
empty wallet were found in the
clothing.
Continued efforts will be made by
officers to locate relatives of the
two men, and establish their iden-
tity.—Childress Index.
