JUDGE ATKINsoN's NEW PLAN.
He Wants a Change in the Primary
Rules.


Hon. F. G. duBiguon, chairman of the
state Democratic executive committee. has
received a copy of Judge Atklnson's letter
In reference to the alleged collision be
tween himself and Mr.. Berner. in which
ne appeals to the executive committee for
a modification of the rules for making
nominations for Governor and state house
officials.
He suggests a plan which he wants laid
before the executive committee. 1t is to
have the county votes pro rated. He Of
fers two suggestions:
Upon the consolidation of the vote in
each county. the county executive com
mittee divide the delegation among the
three candidates in exact proportion to
the vote cast for each, that each candi-
date may have the full benefit of every
vote cast for him in every county in the
state; or upon consolidating the vote in
each county. the county committee divide
the delegation among the three candidates
in exact proportion to the vote cast for
each; provided, that in the event any can
didate shall receive a majority of all the
votes cast, then he to have the entire DEL
egation of the county.
Judge Atkinson wants the executive COM
mittee to act upon the matter at once,
adopting the factional plan of representa-
ton instead of the direct vote plan agreed
upon by the committee.

 Not Apply to Her.
 .'I know what I am talking about, !" remarked member of congress, when I say that congressman has trouble of his own. It's a fine thing to be states man and show up in the national pa- Tade of greatness at the capital, but there's good deal more to it than that. And one of the things that is hardest to bear is what they say about us. Why, a lady can't come up here and ask to see 8 member that there aren't half dozen people to wink and shake the head and lot more of the same to make him wish all the women were in hades. Of course there is some ground among us for remarks, just as there is among preachers and doctors and bod carriers and everybody else human, and I know a woman or two who find their chief delight in trying to involve congress men and other officials in any kind of a filtration that comes handy. They are pretty and persuasive, and before man knows what he is about he is down in the senate restaurant paying for lunch and listening to some kind of tale of woe.
 "But they miss it now and then, and I am glad to note an instance. A mem Der from a northern state had been in vited to call at the lady's hotel the next day, and she had asked him to let her know if he could come. He wrote, say ing among other things, Tomorrow, madam. hope to see the loveliest wom- an in the whole world Naturally she was pleased and told all the people around the hotel about it. The next day he did not appear, and the next she saw him at the capitol and asked him what he meant by treating her so.
 "'What did I do?' he asked inno. gently.
 "'You said you were coming to see me, she said, blushing at the remem' brance of his words.
 "'I think not.
 "'Indeed you did, she insisted. You said you would see the loveliest woman in the world and she blushed again.
 "'Oh, beg your pardon, he said, smiling. I meant my wife. She just ar. rived yesterday. Washington Star.
