NEW PRIMARY LAW
SEEMS PROBABLE
Illinois Legislature win Enact
Much Needed Measure.
Conservative Element of Dominant
Party in General Assembly VIII
Present lt.
A COMPROMISE FOR CHICAGO

Springfield, H., Dec. 31.-There Is
another shift in the primary election
situation in the legislature. Opinions
that seemed well founded a couple Of
weeks ago-opinions to the effect
that there would be no primary law
effective before July must be re-
vised. There ane unmistakable sighs
of a movement that will result In a
law providing for primary elections
In April. The law will hardly be the
Oglesby bill; 1t is more likely to be a
measure Of a somewhat different
haracter-though that is not at all
certain.
As a matter Of party policy, some
kind of a primary law must be
passed. That Is said to be the con-
cluslon of party leaders who up to
this time have opposed the enactment
OF a radical measure like the Oglesby
bill. and who have doubted the neces-
sity or expediency of passing any
kind Of a prinlsry law at this session
While many OF them are still unable
to discover the vociferous demand
that Is said to exist among the peo-
pie for a primary law, they recognize
the fact that failure to pass aGy kind
OF a law on the subject will be taken
advantage of by the Democrats in
the coming campaign. with disastrous

reference to their standing as to the
governorship. There would still be
the old-time uncertainty in the state
convention as to most of the places
below the Office of governor. Thu
I conservatives, however, take the
view that the convention system is
best for all nominations except those
in which the people have decided
interest, like the governorship or the
, United States senatorship.
Compromise i'm Chicago.
In Chicago there is a movement for
compromise between the primary
and the convention system. A sub
committee of the Republican county
central committee is at work on a
primary bill that will be ready for
consideration January II. This
measure will provide for a primary
vote upon all candidates for office,
but will substitute a percentage for
plurality nominations. Thus can
didate receiving a plurality vote at
the primaries will be nominated If
the vote be not less than 35 per cent
of the total vote cast; otherwise, the
nomination must be made by the
convention. Though Governor De
Ineep is well understood to favor the
direct plurality" plan, 1t is said
that he will sign any fair primary
bill that may be passed and that he
will not object TO a percentage pro-
vision.
Some lawyers in the assembly.
however, maintain that, in the light
of the decision OF the supreme court.
la law that provides for part of the
nominations by primary and part by
convention would be of doubtful con-
|stitutionality. The court declared
invalid the provision of the old law
for the nomination of one legislative
candidate by a primary vote and an
other by the senatorial convention
Likewise. the court held that a pri-
mary election. instead of being a
mere incident of the general cleo
tion system, is an election" within
the meaning Of the constitutional
opinion that has added greatly to
the difficulty of framing primary
law along practicable and satisfac-
tory lines.

quently in the rule Of the minority,
instead of the majority, and that will
tend to destroy party organization.
The theory is that popular sentiment
is crystalized only on two or three
essentials--sueh as providing for all
primaries on the same day, all con
ventons on the same day and vote
on convention delegates and the safe
guards OF law that will prevent fraud

measure will provide only for the
election of delegates to the state and
other conventions by a primary vote.
leaving-candidates free TO put~their
own delegate tickets in the field.
This would mean that all nominal
tons would be made by conventions
composed of delegates selected by a
primary vote.
In practical operation this system
would mean that, so far as the head
Of the state ticket is concerned, dele
gates would be selected with refer.
ence to their support OF certain can
didates. Thus, one delegate ticket
might be headed "Deneen delegates"
another "shurtlef delegates" an
other yates delegates" and so on
with a separate ticket for each candi-
date for governor. The delegates re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
would be declared elected.
In this arrangement the candi-
dates for other Offices on the state
ticket, as a rule, would be lost sight
OF. Theoretically. they would have
the same right as a candidate for
governor to put delegate tickets in
ne field; but. as interest would CEN

gates would be selected solely with

Reported at Capital That Circuit
Judge Cook May Not Preside
at Night Riders Trial.

Frankfort. Ky, Dec. 3t.-Acting
under orders of Governor Wilson,
who is DESTROYS of having the life of
every man employed in the Kentucky
mines safeguarded as far as lies
within his power, Prof. c. j. Nor
wood, of Lexington, state inspector
of mines, and his assistants, are con-
Quoting a rigid inspection of the coal
mines located in various parts of the
state Governor Wilson was shock
ed at the news of mine calamitles
which have occurred in other states,
and he determined that no stone
should be left unturned to avert il
possible, any such accidents in Ken
lucky.
Diligent Investigation.
Among the various matters which
Prof. Norwood's staff is investigating
in connection with the conduct of
mine operation in the state, are the
character of explosives used; the
quantity of explosives safe to use
where dust and gas are present; the
character OF the coal dust and effect
of spraying upon 1t; the quality of
the gas and its dangerous precent-
ages; the nature, extent and insula-
ton of the electric currents used;
and character and condition of the
miners lamps. and the probable UNI
foreground assures from which gas
may come, these TO be ascertained
| by a study of the strata.
Danger in Ignorance.
II is held by Prof. Norwood's de-
lpartment that there is too much ig-
norance regarding explosives among
coal miners in general, and too great
carelessness in their use. The regu-
lations regarding safety lamps are
also said TO be inadequate. 1t is to
correct these conditions. If they exist
