are not recognized IN the constitution

a compulsory primary election law for
all political parties and for all officers.
and at the expense of the state The
people OF Oklahoma now have pri-
mary election law but it is for each
political party TO say whether or not
they shall nominate their candidates
by conyen ion or primary election. and
If primary election is adopted the
expense of such election is not on the
state but on the political party that
adopts it, Not taking into onsider-
alton the question OF trying TO reBu-
late political parties and all other or
ganizations by the constitution, this
proposed law Violates the first princi-
pies OF Democracy which would per-
init each community 10 regulate its
own affairs and each political pariy TO
present its candidates TO be voted
