THE ACTION OF THE CITY DEMO-
CRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

The recent action of the City Demo
cratic Executive Committee in setting
aside city primary or ward primary
under the law providing for Il lrgalized
primary to nominate candidates for the
Legislature. was an unusual proccedinS.
The reason assigned was IAN empty
treasury" and an opinion on the part
of the committee. that it did not see its
way clear to raise the funds absolutely
necessary to enable TO conduct il even
in the most economical manner"
Was there an effort made by the com
mite" To raise Il fund? The reason pre-
scented by the committee will ALWAYS
exist until funds are supplied by sub
scription or by the candidates. and they
are never supplied until the occasion for
their use arises or until an effort is
made to raise them. There never has
been, and there never will be Il primary
election If II depends upon Il fund being
in the hands of the Executive Commit
tie" To be used for such purpose before
a primary is ordered. The law docs not
contemplate that the money shall bc i'm
the hands of the party authorities. given
the right to order Il primary election be-
fore the same is ordered. and the Nir-
Snian is of the opinion that il would
nave been time enough for the commit
tee to offer such an excuse for falling
To give the people an opportunity TO
name their candidates at IL primary
election or ward primary after ii was as
certained by proper effort that the funds
could not be raised for the purpose
