Primary reform urged to improve North Dakota voting
In a long editorial, The Emmons County Record argues the 1916 presidential primary is wasteful and proposes a mixed primary and convention system. It urges nonpartisan county offices, statewide delegates elected with county results, and stronger voter education to curb fraud and weak candidates. It warns against cross-party primary tactics by rival supporters.
