. shaw Raps Primary Bill.

. Secretary L. M. Shaw's letter, rnpp1ng the
primary election bill now pending in the legis-
1ature may prove the last straw in the burden
Of opposition which promises to defeat that meas
ure. An Informal poll Of the house gives forty
votes for the Crossley bill, fortysix against and
twenty-four undecided. In the senate the straw
votes are nineteen for, twenty-three against and
eighteen undecided ."
Secretary Shaw, in long letter to State Sen
ator F. NJ Molsberry, emphasized the point that
s'no ordinary citizen under such a law could
secure the nomination for state office in Iowa
for less than 500, 900, unless he had back Of
him three or four railroads in the state" He
said that the primary law would enable the
railroads to control Iowa politics-a thing which
Is out Of the question under the present system.
:; Under a national primary system, he argued,
unknown men, however great their merit, would
stand no chance at all, while William Randolph;
Hearst would receive twice as many votes as any
other man, save possibly William Jennings
Bryan. Another salient feature of the letter
was the claim that under the primary election
system the candidate whose name happened to
head the list had unfair advantage, owing to
the habit Of careless voters of placing the cross
opposite the most prominent name.

as ambassador to Washington. Powerful
influences are being exerted against his

that the car will comply with NJ

The lower house of the douma with
out dissenting voice, adopted a reSolu-
ton asking of the car full amnesty for
political, agrarian and military crimes.
and a recommendation for the Immediate
abandonment of the death penalty for all
offenses, criminal, as well rs political
Great cheering greeted NJ. Kovolev-

and convey to the ear the douma's will
that political prisoners forthwith be lib
Grated. Cooler leaders implored that
amnesty would remain the first question
in the douma's reply to the speech from
the throne.
One peasant appealed to S comrades
not to invite affront from the car, who
might refuse to receive the president at Il
moments notice. He further said the
members did not dare return to their
villages and confess they had compro-
missed the programme of liberty and

would make possible Il dispersal of the
