TO PURIFY PRIMARIES.
Senate Passes the Committee Substi-
tute for the Bill Repeating
the Rynu Primary Iaw

jefferson City. No., March 1.-tSpecial)
The senate to-day passed the substitute OF
the committee on elections for senate bill
No. 127. repeating the Ryan primary law.
The bill is designed to prevent indiscrim-
mate and promiscuous voting at primaries.
1t puts primaries Under the control of the
election commissioners in cities of 100000
and more population. Its chief provision
is as follows:
ANY person voting or Offering to vote at
any primary election held under the pro-
visions of this act who is not known to the
judges thereof TO be member of the po-
litical party holding said election, or who
is unwilling to declare his affiliation there
with. or who has voted at the primary
election of any opposing party held for the
same purpose; or who is not auaiiied 10
state. county or municipal election where
he offers TO vote, or who shall vote more
cincts or polls on the same day at the same
election, shall be guilty of misdemeanor,
and on conviction shall be punished by a
fine not exceeding $500 or by Imprisonment
in the county Jail not exceeding ninety
days, or by both such fine and inprison-
ment..
cussion upon the bill. He said that in st.
Louis there was a class of voters called
''lrdians.'' who were in the habit of vot-
ing at every primary held in the city.
Leading citizens and officials belonging TO
the Republican and Democratic. parties
had united in recommending legislation
that would contine- voters TO their own
party primaries.
Senator Lyons, of Kansas City, spoke
against the bill. He declared that it was
a vicious measure because it put the con-
troll of the primaries into the hands of the
election commissioners in Kansas City and
ST. Louis. He knew from experience that
this would cause trouble.
Senator Schweickhardt, of st. Louis, Joined
with Senator Lyons in opposing the bill,
but Ii was finally passed. after Senator
Mott informed his colleagues that it would
10 have 4 in
Louis at the coming spring primaries. and
assured them that he would see that 1t
was SO amended in the house as to meet
the objections that had been urged against
It. Senator Lyons will endeavor to have It
amended so that 1t will apply exclusively
to St. Louis.
Unanimous for improvements.

He Would Have Them Wear Five or

Why. Nobody Has as Yet
Found Out.

Councilman j. J. Wolf. of the effete Sec
oEd ward, is Il segregationist. He would
be in favor of divorce If he lived in Ar
mourdale. During his meteoric career in
the common council he has from time to
time come forward with propositions which
have attracted the attention if they have
not won the approval of the council and
the people generally. The ignominious de-
feat of his anti-high hat ordinance is st:ll
fresh in the minds of a resentfui feminine
constituency. Now he comes forward with
q proposition to segregate the members of
the city council from the common herd by
means of elegantly engraved -aldermanic
stars. At last nights meeting OF the coun-
Gil he introduced an ordinance in the lower
house appropriating s1O0 to buy twenty
stars. The ordinance was referred to the
finance committee.
Speaker Smiths bill for so for five days
salary for acting as mayor was presented,
much TO the surprise of the house, as such
bills. while legal. are not usually presented.
Mr.. Lynch wanted the mayors full time
stricken from the appropriation ordinance
and Mr.. Pendergast wanted Smiths $50

Smith voted against cutting out the may
