The past week witnessed the opening
games Of the two local basketball leagues
The friends of each have had an oppor-
tunity OF comparing the style OF playing OF
teams under the respective league rules,
and it is tie opinion generally expressed
that in the mcthod OF playing the game
there IS no perceptible difference. There
is 5ESi as much rash and scramble in the
one rs in the other, and for the matternf
pIa wing rules said an admirer of the
game last night. "a team in the old Dis
trict Basketball Lea gac can play the game
as wsl under the new as under the
old rules, and So with members OF the new
or National Lnague.'' The great differ
ence is IN he matter OF pla wing costume, the
new league having adopted the sleeveless
JERSEY shirt with short cotton running pants
as a substitute for the heavy padded clothes
worn by players in the old league. For
the former it is Claimed that la cking pro

Primary Reform

\ committee Of the Republican
league of Buffalo, after digestng most
of the laws ana the plans already bear
ing on the subject. has formulated
scheme ur its oWn to further caucus
reform. This has been SHAPED in de-
tail to correspond with present New
York state registration laws. hut it's
general principles are worthy of study
wherever partv primaries have fallen
into popular disrcputc.
The Buffalo plan reteins the dele
gate system ana proposes to have the
voters Of all parties register for the
general election, enroll Gur their eau
cuseg and choose their delegates To con-
vontcns on the first two days Of regis
tratiun anl in the polling booths, un-
dcr the supervision Of the regular cleo
tion inspectors and by means Of
blanket ballot provided by the state.
Party committees are required to
give notice twenty days before the
first registration day nf thr names pro"
posed for delegates to the various par
ty conventions. 1t is further provided
that any ten Da"ty electors living in
the same election district may certify
t. the parry committee the names of
a set of delegates. No voter is re-
quired to declare his party affiliations
at the caucus, and the acts Of regis
tering and enrolling may be performed
on registration days subsequent to the
first two. Eligibility to vote at a eau
Gus shall not be based alone on a past
record of aftiliation with 4 party, but
also on declared intention to act With
that party in the future. Provision is
made for printing on the ballot infor-
nation as To the candidate or princi-
pie for which any delegate may stand
There is to be a blank column i'm which
the voter may write the name Of any
man Cf his choice whose name is not
printed on the ballot. The ballot of
each party is to he given 4 separate
and distinct color. All conventions are
to be held in the two weeks interVen-
ing between the first two and the last
two registration days. No altemates
are to be permitted. The present Erie
county system is to be followed by Civ
ing each delegate as many votes in the
convention as there We're party votes
in his election district but no delegate
may split his votes between the caudi-
oates.
The foregoing measure is spoken of
approvingly by the Buffalo Express, a
journal which has made a determined
battle for more representative party
primaries. 1t differs but slightly from
the Kentucky plan of holding primar-
les precisely as elections are held with
the same machinery, laws and penal-
ties and under equal accountability to
the courts. In practice it would prob
ably reveal points of weakness, espcc-
tally in abuse of the clause governing
eligibility to participate. But if as a
result Of its adoption public opinion
should be stimulated for a time into a
proper interest i'm the sources Of politi-
cal authority, the outcome would be a
gain. Whatever brings good men out
TO the primaries ana occasions honest
and intelligent voting is to be COM
mended, even though it be true that
this live Interest does not need a
change in the laws to insure superior
results.
