The old gang might p%rofitably re-
call the fact that before his appoint
ment as governor of New Mexico,
Mr.. Hagerman was for several days
in conference with President Roose-
welt and Secretary Hitchcock, and
learned, c~onfdentially, their views as
to what was required for improving
the New Mexico political and govern
mental situation. No doubt ne ex-
his own when returning from Wash
ington, he said in his first public
speech that his efforts would be con-
c~entrated on giving the Territory an
honest business administration, and
that in doing so, he wanted the neIp

men, regardless of party, section.

not with him a question of maintain
ing a party Organization" but the
problem of establishing an honest
government. That he has succeeded
thu far is amply proven by the fact
that all the grafters are against him.

germs of great reforms but both are
rendered innocuous by placing the ma
chinery of the law at the option of par
ty organizations, which means the boss.
New Jersey permits, but does not re-
quire, the nomination of partisan can
didates by direct primary In Mary
land direct nominations are made in
several counties. but there is no law
and all attempts to secure a compul-
sorry direct primary law have been de-
feated.
Pennsylvania has adopted and ex
tended to the State the Crawford
County idea. which will have its first
real trial at the spring elections. In
nearly every State in the South some
form of direct primary enactment has
found place on the statute books, but
these laws are optional and are en-
ployed only by the dominant party be-
cause the matter of expense is left
with the parties Such laws exist in
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama. Mississippi Virginia and Ten
nessee. The Democrats in several of
these States have nominated their tick
cts by direct primary, because they
found it expedient, and in Georgia, Vir
ginia and Tennessee the Democratic
Legislatures are bound morally by the
primary vote in nomination of candi-
dates for the United States Senate.
The Massachusetts law does provide
for direct nomination of Aldermen and
Common Councilmen in Boston, and in
Chelsea, as adopted, delegates pledged
to candidates for the mayoralty nom
ination are elected at the primary cleo
tons The law is general in the sense
that throughout the State the several
parties are, required to elect annually
at the caucuses their proper and neces-
sary committees, also the primary cleo
tion officials. The dates for primary
elections are fixed by the central COM
mittees of the several parties, and
party caucuses must be held on differ
ent days. Ballots and polling places
are furnished by the cities and towns.
The officials are warden, clerk and five
inspectors. They are elected at the Sep
tember caucuses to serve one year from
the first of the following month.

Chinese people, including large cities

IF it is necessary in America to

necessary to send to this vast market
in Western China to show the people

them, and the agent will find the China

man. Until American firms see fit to

little hope exists of creating business
note the fact that there is no Ameri-
can firm or white agent west of Ichang.
In Chungking there are four European
firms keeping a general line of French

large European houses represented, two
British and two German. who command
a good export and import trade for
their countries, but no American firm

Primary reform was agitated before
the movement for the ballot reform
and California is entitled to credit for
the first step in that direction, taken
in 1866. In the misty past. when con-
ventions were in some sense represen-
tative bodies and prior to the adoption
of the Australian ballot, the boss found
it simpler, If a bit cruder, to control
elections by the direct expedient of
ballot box stuffing. He had paid little
or no attention to the possibilities of
the convention. In fact, he seemed
content to make the people believe
that they We're really participating in
the management of their several parties
by letting them run their conventions
pretty much as they pleased.
Lulled by the fancied security of the
