 Both houses visited the Tempe nor
 mal school Tuesday afternoon. The primary election law was de-
 feated in the house yesterday by tie
 vote.- Speaking of the result the Re publican says that ''it is the opinion of Mir. St. Charles that the word of a democrat in convention assembled is
 not worth the paper it is written on
 if it is put into the shape of declar- ation of principles. His p. imary election bill was defeated yesterday
 by tie vote. The bill was intro duced early in the session. 1t was amended so many times that the ori- ginal bill was hardly recognizable in
 the measure which came before the house yesterday afternoon. Half the members of the house had something to do with the remodeling of it and it was thought that it would be satis- factory to them at least It was up for the third reading. The discussion had not proceeded very far on it be- fore it became evident that there was not unanimity of opinion. Mir St. har.as na!e the first speech in a de bate which occupied nearly all the afternoon session and at times grew acrimonious and personal Mir St. Charles relied mainly on the Tucson platform which had promised the people of Arizona a primary election | law He believed that all the people | wanted it. That is all the people ex- cept the professional politicians He reminded .h, house from time to time l that he Was talking more particularly | to the democratic members for they | had not shown the least inclination so far to observe party pledges.
