raised from $500 to $1,000 and the

On Adjournment.

Springfield, Ills, April 16.-In the
house yesterday opposition developed
to Morris bill amending the Cook
county primary election law so as to
make it unnecessary to call the roll of
delegates except in the event of con-
test. Morris explained that the bill had
been agreed upon by both political par
ties in Chicago. and that its sole pur-
pose was to effect a saving of time.
Sherman asked a question. I'm case"
he said, ''there should be a chairmsn
of the convention as deficient of hear
ing as speakers of this house have been
for the last twenty years. could he hnt
prevent an expression of the viii cf
the delegates?"
Morris sad that the bill applied only
to Cook county conventions. and that
it would not in any way stife the ex-
preston of the delegates.
sherman against the BIZ.
Sherman said: IF your conventions
in Cook county are so big that it takes
two or three weeks to call the roll of
delegates you ought to reduce the
number of delegates in the convention.
In the county conventions
you select delegates to the state con
vention, and that is where l am inter
ested in this bill. On local matters l
am not interested in what is coming
from Cook county or the city of Chi
cago. l object to
the creation of stronger rule of the
boss in politics than would now be pos
sible.''
Primaries Elect the Delegates.
Morris in reply said that the county
conventions had nothing to do with the
selection of delegates 10 the state con-
venion. Under he law" said he, the
delegates to the state convention from
Cook county are elected by direct
primary vote and the couny convention
has absolutely nothing to do with the
matter" He added in reply to Sher-
man that the county convention cannot
instruct these delegates.
