law as IL formerly stood. During tine
course OF the last two years the Demo-
crafts OF Richmond have had many prim-
nries. and the only one which II was
practicable to hold under the law mas
been that for the nomination OF munich
pal officers. For instance, the primary In
which the present members or the Leg
islature were nominated was not held un,
der the law and could not very Wen have
been held under 1t. That Tor the election
OF delegates to the last gubernatorial
convention was not and could not have

held some three months before the cleo

was held five or six months before the
election. and necessarily so. The Elicit
Lamb primary. in the same year, was
also outside Of the law, and IT VIII be re-
menbered that the friends of one candi-
date threatened 10 apply for an inJunc-
ton. So II appeared 10 me that the time

and this idea was also held by the Demo-
cratic press OF Richmond.
"As TO the objection that the commit
tee might post a copy OF the plan at the
CITY Hall door. tear it down tve minutes
after. and then take snap judgment on

nothing OF the sort has ever been done.

vision Of the law. 4 copy OF the plan
