Assemblyman ". r. Leeds OF Los An
Reles. who is ready to introduce at the
first opportunity a bill for a direct pri-
mary election law, is apparently very
earnest in his advocacy of election
reform. But Leeds pretends to be-
lieve, and he is undoubtedly honest in
that belief that a proper and ade-
ouate direct primary election law can
not be enacted and enforced under the
existing constitutional provisions.
Since the fun conversion OF Grove L
Johnson, Leeds is the only known ad-
vocate OF direct primary reform who
believes 81 can be secured without first
amending the constitution. johnson

Sacramento man is satisfied that sec

tive bar to any direct primary election

DTSREGARDS CONSTITUTToN
Leeds declines to accept this view of
the situation. and contends that because
the constitution does not in terms for
bid the enactment Of direct primary
legislation, such legislation would stand
the test Of the courts. He admits
that he is not unmindful Of the unfor-
