Primary Election Law

A primary elrction law at \, hich the
candidates of every party shall be nom
mated is being advocated by Repre-
sentative John I. Cooper from Wood
county, who will soon present bill to
the Legislature covering this.
Mr.. Cooper says West Virginia and
Vermont are the only states east of the
Mississippi River which have not a
primary election law covert G nomina-
tioas in some way and that only Col
orado, Utah, Kansas and Oklahoma
are in the same class west of the Miss
issippi.
Nominations by conventions do no
bring out much more than three T,
cent. of the votes of either party;'a gen.
eral primary election law would bring
out many more. Candidates would not
be much more numerous as the
bill provides for each candidate to have
a petition signed by two per cent. of
the voters in his precinct or district,
the number, however, to be limited to
500 votes.
This will prevent the chaos of con
ventions. 1t will prevent the assess
ments by political machines and give
every man chance for a candidacy
and the people chance to nominate
the man they want. 1t will prevent
the floating vote from participating in
the nominations of more than one po-
litical party.
If the bill becomesia law, day will
be set for the primary all over the
state. The voter who comes TO the polls
will, after satisfying the commissioner
of his qualifications, be allowed to sell
ect candidates on the ticket of the par
ty he chooses. After marking his ballot
it will be deposited in the ballot box of
the party to which he belongs. The
ballots will be sent into the county
courts and fro N them to the campaign
committees of the dltferentlparties who
will maze announcement of their par
ty's selection OF ticket.
Mr., Cooper says the exrenss o holGi &
primaries VIII not be equal to campaign
assessments for conventions and will
give the people more interest in cleo
lions because they will take more inter
est in the selection of their candidates.

NATIONAL RIVERS
CONGRESS

Washington. Dec. with Con-
gresham Joseph Il. Ransdell pre-
siding, the National Rivers and Har-
bors congress opened today what
promises to be the most important
convention in its history. This is
the fourth meeting of the congress
and the second annual one since itp
reorganization. The sessions are be-
ing held in the assembly hall OF tho
new willard hotel and will continue
FOR three days. The initial meeting
this morning was devoted TO ad-
dresses Of welcome and the compile
ton of the organization of the con-
vention. Commercial and waterways
organization of over thirty states,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, have
sent delegations. Among the visitors
are some of the leading statesmen
and business men of the country.
Never before has such enthusiasm
been manifested for the development
and improvement of the water trans
pOItdllOll OI inc country 40 ~ lDhdJ
meeting. This is largely due 20 the
fact that the president, for the frat
time in the history OF the country,
has given official Endorsement TO
plans for waterway improvements
and has fully recognized the inn
portance OF such work to the conf
mercial welfare of the nation.
The congress will not consider any
special project, but will devote its
entire attention to the Importance Of
securing increased appropriations for
river and harbor improvements. IL
demands that more liberal proper
tion Of the revenue OF the govern
ment derived from commerce be ex-
pended in It's interest in improving
the channels Of trade and transporte-
ton. The percentage of such rev.
enue heretofore used for waterway
Improvement has been only about 3
per cent, and the rivers and har.
bors boomers declare that this is
totally inadequate. IN view Of the
vast amount Of work yet to be ac,
complished.

THE GERMAN KAISER
HAS GREAT IDEAS
FOR INCREASING HIS CoUNTRY's
PROSPERITY.

Berlin. Dec. IA stronger navy,
commercial development. coloniza-
tion, peace and again peace"
EpItomIzed the kaiser's policy as
outlined in a statement given out at
his command today. He says Ger.
many's future developments require
a powerful navy. IL must export the
product of It's industries and new
and wider markets are constantly
necessary to Germany. A mighty
navy would add to the volumn of it's
trade. There is need for a greater
navy to develop colonies. Colonies
are necessary TO the ever increasing
population. No countries OF Europe
could conquer Germany's possessions
without danger. All Germany wants
is peace and again peace for the de-
velopment of commerce and indus
tries and the constantly widening
national culture.
