ting discussion of the principal points to
be considered in framing a law of the
Importance of the primary measure. The
report is an expression of the general con-
clusions reached by the members after
months of investiga ton.
The skeleton bill will be submitted to a
meeting of the Commercial Club tomorrow
night, and it is expected that il will be
recommended or rejected as the majority
may determine. A number of speakers of
both parties will be heard on the question
tomorrow night, and the meeting will un-
doubtedly be interesting.
The members of the committee have
worked untiringly and enthusiastically in
their endeavor to put together a bill that
would give the State an honest, effective
primary law that would represent the true
wishes of the people. They feel that their
work has been as nearly successful as it
could be at this time.
The subcommittee's report follows
"In a republican government the will of
the majority is law. This will is ascer-
tanned by some method of ascertaning
the majority on any important question
tions should be made by the majority
And it is as essential that nominations
should be honestly and fairly made as that
the nominee should thereafter be honestly
and fairly elected.
In the early history of republican gov
ernment men announced their own cam
didacy and the people voted viva voce:
every man called out his choice. But with
the growth of society and the rise of DO
litical parties the practice naturally came
of making party nominations. Then fol-
lowed voting by a secret ballot For many
years the practice was that every man
prepared his own ballot. In time party
candidates and committees furnished party
ballots. Now the State furnishes and dis
tributes the ballots for all parties. This is
found to be helpful to fair elections. The
State recognizes the existence of political
parties and by law provides for printing
and distributing the ballots as well as
counting and canvassing the votes
mo man would think of turning back To
the old method of self-announced candi-
dates, politicians furnishing Observation-Disclosures
ballots at the polls, and the bystander
keeping tally each man votes
VOTING PARTY TICKET.
Generally speaking, every man votes his
party ticket furnished officially to him
A voter may vote for some candidates on
both tickets: but il is both difficult and idle
10 vote for man whose name is not found
on the official ballot. So that IL is entirely
fair TO say that all elections are between
candidates Of the parties recognized by the
State as sufficiently numerous to entitle
them to public recognition on the official
ballot Practically no mans name can now
be printed the official ballot until he
has been lawfully nominated. The excep-

NOT YET RELINaUIsHED.
Presidents Hope that a Coal Famine
May he Ayerted


May Be Averted.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-There will be no
call for an extra session of Congress to
deal with the coal strike situation at this
stage. The President expressly stated in his
appeal to the operators and representatives
of the miners yesterday that he did not act
officially in calling them together. He has
for the time being exhausted his individual
resources In his view the matter is again
one with which the State of Pennsylvania
should deal If the commonwealth finds
itself unable to control the situation and
appeals to him through the constitutional
channels the President will be ready to
bring into play the great forces Of the ma
tional government, military and civil. But
for the time being the President has re-
laxed his efforts.
A great many radical suggestions have
been made as the result of the failure of the
conference yesterday, and they include
everything from taking possession of the
mines by the government to sending United
States troops to Pennsylvania without re-
gard to any call from the Governor of
that State. It can be positively stated that
none of these suggestions has received seri-
Gus consideration by the administration.
1t is believed here that a resort to pro-
ceedings against the coal-carrying roads
on the charge of imposing unlawful carry
ing rates, while possible, is improbable, on
account of it's impracticability to accom-
plish speedy results in the present emer-
