tFrom a stan Correspondence


the approval Of the state officers who were
here last night and with many others.
Some who are opposed to a direct primary
believe that as the convention endorsed
such a resolution II would be the proper /
thing for the state committee 20 adopt
the primary system and thus show the
good faith Of the party in its platform dec
larations
All Of the state ofiicers with the exception
OF Superintendent McBrien are out Of town
today, but last night Superintendent Nc
Brien. Secretary of state Galusha and
Land Commissioner Eaton were present at
the committee meeting and each at the
close OF the meeting expressed himself in
favor of It.
Superintendent McBrien said: The COM
mittee should by all means adopt the reso-
luton and hold primaries next fall for
the selection of a state ticket. The re-
publican state convention recommended
that the next legislature enact a direct
primary law and the state committee should
by all means carry out that recommends
tion. The statement that the west end Of
the state would be Disseminated against
think will not hold good Without passes
It will be impossible for the delegates who
are without means to come to a convention
and that will mean only the wealthy dele
the direct primary law must go hand in
hand. The republican state convention has
spoken on the matter and 1t is up to the
party machinery to carry out its organiza-
tion."
Deputy Attorney General Thompson said:
without saying anything for or against
the direct primary system I think by all
means the state committee should declare
itself for the primary to select the next
state ticket. The republican state conven-
tion has declared in favor of direct pri-
mary law and the recommendations of
that convention should be put into practice
as soon as possible. Only by doing that
can the republican party keep the con-
idence of the people" Incidentally Mr..
Thompson has carried out the recommen-
dation Of the convention on the anti-pass
question by returning all his passes TO
! the railroads from which he received them.
! Senator George Sheldon said: Il don't
know that we need a primary system for
| Cass county. but the resolution recon-
mendng a primary election law was passed
| by the republican state convention unani-
mously and it should be put into effect by
/ the state committee. Nothing should ever
/ go into a platform unless the party is sim
! cere about it and to show that the direct
/ primary recommendation is not buncombe
| It should be put into effect at the first op-
| portunity. Those who. are opposed to a
| direct primary should have made their OBJ
jections before the party went on record.
| There is nothing to do but to put the rec
ommendation Of the convention into effect"
A number of other parties OF more or less
| prominence who were interviewed were In
favor of carrying out the recommendations
of the state convention.

When Fred Abbott is elected a member OF
the Board OF Regents of the State univer-
slty the executive meetings of the boa-d

mitted to all public board meetings, and

Lover Appeals TO Police Judge.
After following a theatrical company from
town to town In a vain attempt to win the
love OF a chorus girl, William France. al
most on the verge OF nervous collapse
last night appealed to Judge Cosgrave tc
help him win the girl. France called al
the judges home at midnight and asked
, for a warrant for the arrest OF AL Denier
a member of the His Highness, the Bey'
company whom he told the judge wa:
about to win from him the love of a chorus
girl that he had been following into various
towns. As an excuse for the arrest he told
the Judge that Denier had threatened tC
kill him unless he let the girl alone and
quit following the company. AS a further
accommodation to him, France asked tha
the girl be held here as a witness and no

Judge GosgTave told France 20 see thu
county attorney the next morning the lat
ter pulled out a revolver which ne pointed
at the judge and told him he intended 4
use II on Denier when the two met again
It took some effort on the part OF the Judge
together with little gun play OF his own
to appease the irste lover and send him Of
his way. The show company with tn
chorus girl and Denier, left town at II SO
and what became OF France could not b
ascertained. He claimed TO be a travelling
salesman.
