Estee was elected chairman and E. J. Reynolds was elected secretary.
 The committed came at once to the con- clusion that the proposed constitutionai amendment is not self-operatlVe, even If adopted, and would be but little aid to future legislation. A second and important objection Is that 1t would take four years to put 1t in operation A thlrd authorized by the amendment had been enacted, such legislation would in no way be of a general character-applying to the State at large-but would only have local application.
 Numerous and ample grounds sustain ing the Supreme Courts decision on tne Stratton law were conceded by all the members of the committee, ana that acs was also found to be of no aid In re- forming the primaries as they are now conducted. But the committee was unan, imous in the opinion that constitutionai and satisfactory act could be drafted ana passed. the main features of which are:
 A separate election day for each pc litical party for the choice Of delegates to their various conventions.
 The voting at the primaries to be Dy ballot, and in all essentials conducted un- der the rule WHICH dPPASS " O' county and local elections
 The committee considered this plan more economical than to have all the pri- maries held the same day, as mas been suggested by several theorists
 Another change agreed upon py lIe committee Is that there ShouId De Ae"ei election precincts than at present.
 The number of delegates to when @ each nartv will be entitled will be III proPoL- tion to the numerical voting sliehsth at the preceding election.

On the other hand, the liar neyites are in favor of electing delegates at primaries and have entered into the effort to bring about the necessary reform with apparent sincerity. One of the com mittee at the meeting last night remarked the absence of the representatives of "Whispering Gavin" and his felloW-con- spirators, and said:
