A Great Many Candidates Some Dis-
satisfaction With Primary System.

the coming month Missouri is to have
Its first trial of the primary election
law. Nominations will be made for
nil state and county offices and for
members of the state legislature
which will have the selection of a
successor to I'nited States Senator
William J. Stone. Senator Stone is
a candidate for re-election and is op-
posed by Governor Folk.
Former Congressman W. S. Cow-
herd appears to have a good lead In
the contest for the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor though in order
to win out lie will have to overcome
i. spirited opposition. The race start-
e with nearly a score of aspirants
lint the field lias now narrowed down
to Cowherd. David Hall and one or
two others.
In regards to the Republican ticket
It Is also pretty well established just
who the nominees will be. Attorney
General Herbert S. Ha. Hey will be the
candidate for governor. For all the
other places on the Republican ticket
w'th but two exceptions there are no
contests. All of the present state of-
(Vers on the Republican side are to
receive nominations without opposi-
tion excepting in the cases of attor-
ney general and railroad and ware-
house commissioner for which there
are rival aspirants in tne field.
Dissatisfaction with the primary
sstem is expressed in many quarters.
Objection is made tliat it Is too easy
for "favorite sons-' to get their names
on the ballot with the result that the
latter becomes a blanket sheet which
i.--. very confusing to the nveragc voter
as well as a source of great expense
to tho state and county. In some
c unties the names of nearly 30ft can-
didates will appear on the ballots.
