PRIMARY LAW DEFECTIVE.

The new primary law may be All
that is claimed for 1t by those who are
responsible for II but even its most
ardent friends will have to admit. II
they are aware Of what was done un
der Il in this city last Saturday, that
& does not do away with boss rule,
and it does enable members OF an
opposing party to nominate party
candidates. The party boss was
az notent as he ever has been and
carried his point; and il Is VIGOROUSLY
true that voters at some OF the polls
had no regard whatever for their form
or party affiliations, voting contrary
10 what had always been their habit
Thus 1t is possible for Republicans
who may wish To place their oppo
nents in position for easy defeat al
the election. to force upon that party
the weakest candidate by processing
To be Democrats at the primary eiec
tion. And the new law imposes nc
penalty for this. The nearest II
comes TO prohibiting It is in Section
80. paragraph 3, which says. And nc
person shall be allowed to vote who
shall have signed the nominating pc
tition Of an independent candidate fol
any Office for which office candidates
are TO be voted for at said primary
election. or If he shall have voted n
the primary election, of another politi
cal party within the period of one yea
next preceding such primary cleo

Under this section voter is priyiI

II Is impossible 10 get resolution

perfectly clear that it is far higher than

down, SO that il can have no othar

But being committed to the general
principle of protection. the Cummins

is still little prospect that they Will
succeed In bringing the measures OF

protection to American industries ~
largely a false pretense. This Is shown
Inv the increasing export of protected
