SWEEPING PRIMARY BILL.
Mississippis Measure Just Passed Makes
All Party Conventions Useless.

NEW ORLEANS, March IA protest has
been filed with Gov. Longino Of Mississippi
asking him not TO sign the Primary Election
bill just passed by the Legislature of the
State. on the ground that It Is unconstltu-
tional and was pssssd unconstitutionally.
The law is one OF the most sweeping
pieces Of legislation ever passed in this
country and changes radically tho political
system Of the State. 1t places primary
elections under the control of the State
orders that all nominations, from United
Stdtes Senators down, shall be made by
primaries and practically prohibits State.
district or county conventions. Such cor
ventions can meet, but they can make no
nominations, and their powers are limited
TO framing platforms Of principles.
The Democratic State Central Committee
is shorn OF all power and is merely an agent
to determine contests, add up the votes
cast at the primaries and announce the
results. The law relegates all political
power directly to the people Primary
elections must be held throughout the
State for the nomination of United States
Senators and r representatives. in Congress.
