LABOR MEN INTERESTED
WILL DEMAND A NEW PRIMARY
ELECTION LAW.
Organization to Work I'm Harmony
with Political and Commercial
Bodies-Commfttee's Task.

1t is likely that several primary reform
election bills will be presented to the next
Legislature for enactment. The committee
of the Commercial Club has not formulated
any plans as yet because the members have
been away for the summer, Chairman A. c..
Harris says, and no meetings have been
held. The committee will endeavor to have
a State meeting to consider a bill in order
to make the request for primary election
reform representative of all political par
ties and commercial bodies of the State as
possible. The State Federation of Labor
has appointed a committee to act with the
commercial bodies, but it has not outlined
its recommendations. The State Fedora
ton meets in Evansville Sept %, and one
of the important matters to come before
the body will be a primary election law.
The labor leaders interested in the move
ment say a radical measure will be intro
duced, so far-reaching that it will demand
the election of United States senators by
popular vote. The labor organizations will
demand a primary election for all offices,
and that the system of holding conventions
be abolished.
Addison c. Harris chairman of the Com
mercial Club committee. has been away
most of the summer. He said last night
members of the committee since his re-
turn. Il do not know what we will do, -
said he, until the committee meets. L have
| been Informed by President Perkins, of
the State Federation of Labor, that it has
its committee ready for work but l do not
know If anything has been done. under
stand that labor men will demand rigid
reforms. We will work in harmony with
them did during the last Legisla-
ture. They have offered us their assistance
and they have a great deal of influence"
President Perkins stated that he had
$4,000 men behind his back, and that labor
ing men are intensely interested in the
formation of new primary election law.
President Perkins said the present law
is very unsatisfactory. However, it is
better than nothing" said he, but it is
not what we want. L believe in taking what
we can get and then in going after more.
We can't expect these questions to all be
settled at one time. 1t only be a
gradual movement and we will keep up the
fight until we get an election law that is
satisfactory
The work of the Commercial Club primary
commission will commence within few
weeks. it is understood. The committee
has ready for digestion vast amount of
information, covering not only the results
of the operation of the Joss law in this
State but also the results of primary laws
| in other States.

The first burglary Of any considerable
size which has been reported for many
months took place the other night at
Wales. When John Glynn. section
foreman employed by the Northwestern
Railroad Company, arose in the morning
and went downstairs he was startled TO
see that the entire first floor of his resi-.
dence had been ransacked and everything
OF value had been taken away. Two win
dows were open and these were plainly
the avenues for the entrance and escape
of the marauders. A rough estimate of
the goods stolen would indicate that the
burglars succeeded in getting away with
nearly $500 worth OF money and light
furniture. The robbery was bold one
as the family was at home at the time,
although no one happened to be awak-
ened by the work Of the midnight visit

City Robbers Steal Furniture with
Family Asleep in Honse--Editor and
Family Burned Out.

A strange sequel has occurred to the
disappearance OF John II. Henderson of
henosha, which has been battling the To-
cal police. Mr. Henderson, who was em-
ployed at the Simons Manufacturing
Company as a patternmaker, left the
factory in his working clothes and sud
denly disappeared. The other day his
wife received letter from him from a
Southern city, in which he stated that
he was there with his aged mother, but
had no knowledge of how he got there.
He arrived dressed in his working clothes
the some as he left Kenosha. He is
thought TO have been suffering from tenn
porary alteration of the mind.
