Importance Of the Proposed Primary
Law.

Ono Of tho most impor,sn, laws pro-
posed for adoption by tho fourteenth gen.
eral assembly is that relating to the
party primaries. says the Colorado
Springs Gazette. Like other reform
measures recently adopted or now under
discussion. the new primary law is a
nom partisan measure tha, has already
received the Endorsement Of the people Of
the state.
Recent experience in both parties tends
strongly to confirm the belief tha. tho
new primary law will be an important
step toward the protection Of popular
rights and the furtheranee Of honest poll
tics.
1t has become more and more generally
recognized in recent years tha. re-
formed primary is the very foundation Of
good government and clean politics.
Political reformers are unanimous in their
demand for such measure. and in states
where such laws have been tried they
have been found to accomplish all that is
claimed for them. Such law as the
one now proposed to the Colorado as
sembly tends TO make gang control more
difficult, and in many cases impossible;
and 1t also tends very strongly to en-
courage popular participation in political
affairs.
There is no more important measure
before the assembly than this, and II
should not fail to receive the support ot
every member who desires to secure the
approval Of his constituents and to pro-
mote the public welfare.
