Des Moines Oct. 3.-Senator Cross
ley was in the city yesterday from
Winterset and took occasion to call
upon Governor Cummins. 1t Is to be
inferred that they talked about the
proposed primary election bill. SEN
ator Crossley introduced the bill in the
last two sessions OF the senate, and
IS now at work on q bill for the coming
session. Il will present a bill for
state wide primary election law again
at the, coming session of the legisla-
ture," said Senator Crossley today.
AT the last two sessions we did not
accomplish much except in the way of
agitating the question. In the senate
the vote was 10 to rs and the bill never
came to vote in the house. l have
received assurances that many MEM
bers of the Legislature who opposed
the measure in the last two sessions
VIII be In favor of 1t at the coming
session and SO am more hopeful this
time that the bill will become a law.
We did get the Polk county law, Emory
English's bill, at the last session which
was drawn much on the same lines as
my bill except that he provides for the
selection Of delegates. The delegates
IN my bill were for canvassing the vote
OF the primary election only.
