The profit on Majors Cement is much as

The discussion of the primary cleo
ton bill is now on in earnest and be-
fore it is put upon it's final passage it
will DO doubt be pretty literally picked
to pieces. In the minds OF great
many Republicans it seems to be ques-
ltionable politics SO enact such meas
ure without first giving the people q
chance to approve or reject it. The
proposition has therefore been advanc-
sd to allow the people of the state to
vote ON the question before enacting
it into law, and thus the legislators
will be relieved of all responsibility in
the matter.

HERE is an outside opinion OF the
GOOD effects of our proposed primary
election law (Walter Allen in The
Boston Herald): 1T is apparent that
a law OF that kind would cut up, root
and branch, the selfish and oppressive
system of machine party management,
by which it is often made practical
impossible to prevent the worst kind
of nominations. If we had it here in
BOSTON. the reform of our city council
and school committee might come
about, as it were. automatically. The
people who now take little part IN
making nominations would feel that
they could accomplish something. LII
Minneapolis the vote in their local
primary election exceeded the vote il
the state election, and ring which
had fastened itself upon the city anC
defeated all ordinary opposition wa:
turned out with ease. Without the
caucus and the convention it wa'
powerless to perpeuate its rule.
