Case Broderick of HoIton does not
believe in the direct primary system.
He has written the following com
munication TO the State Journal on
the subject:
Much is now being said and writ
ten in favor of a direct primary sys-
tenn by which all nominations for
county. district and state officers shall
be made. This seems to be a popular
idea and little is being said in opposi-
ton to It. I believe there is another
side which should be considered be-
fore the state is committed to such a
policy. I cannot believe the system
would work well in Kansas In small
pOpulous states where the capital city
is centrally located and where there Is
opposition to an official ~aristocracy
Gas the great cost of the primary
would preclude all aspirations for
state Offices except by the wealthy
the direct primary might be satisfac-
tory. Kansas is 400 miles long, the
capital at the eastern end; the sparse
" settled portion west. If we adopt
the direct primary system, what In
huence viii the western half have in
making state tickets or in shAping

be disfranchised.
"A state capital is always the center
of political thought and political ac-
tivity. So many of its people live by
politics hat they study political
methods three hundred and sixty-hve
DAYS out of the year in order to CON

they could easier control through the

The count is not unwilling to take ev-
cry advantage of the desire Of the

sacrifices to avoid further notoriety
and scandal, but 1t is still doubtful
whether the price is not too high. It
turns out that the bills piled up by the

While the exact total is not known the

In addition to those who are serious.
ly. injured at least fifty others were
slightly wounded. -
Business Houses Wrecked.
Without exception every business
house in the town was either totally
wrecked or badly damaged. The union
depot Of the Southern Hallway and the
Louisville & Nashville railroad about
100 yards from the scene Of the ex-
plosion, was shattered to sp1inters. This
cut off all telegraphic communication,
and news Of the explosion was handled
by telephone.
The explosion occurred upon the Ken
lucky side of Jellico, and In conse-
quence every house on that side Of the
town was wrecked. Not one was spared.
Homes Demolished.
A large number of residences located
near the railroad on the Kentucky side
were without exception demolished. As
a result it is estimated that one-seventh
Of the population Of the two Jellicos.
is homeless.
A car loaded with dynamite and con-
signed to the Rand Powder company
arrived here at $3.50 am. 1t was
brought in by the Southern Railway
from the direction Of Knoxville and
was sidetracked in the yards used
jointly by the Southern Railway and
the Louisville & Nashville.
It is believed the explosion was
caused from spontaneous combustion in
the car. The spot where the car stood
is marked by a crevasse in the earth
fully twenty feet deep and about thirty
feet in diameter
