The Primary is The Machine
DESTROYER and Boss Buster

There is a difference between lead
er and boss The leader conducts MS
organization to carry out the will of
the people. The boss conducts his or
ganization to carry out his own will.
That is the difference.
The Primary election law sounds the
death knell OF political bossism in ev-
cry state in which it is adopted.
Dare "the peoples representatives"
in the constitutional convention adopt
a primary rule? Will they do it? Will
the . Boss" and his man Friday, allow
such menace To the "Boss's" future
aspirations, to prevail? Not if they
can help it,
OF late the grip of the BOSS" and
his satellites have been weakened
The whips that the "Boss" and ''Bill"
cracked so freely over their fellows
have been laid aside. This is gond
omen, and possibly the convention may
settle down to decent actions, in which
case the primary system may win out
This is claimed to be country for
The people the whole people. Being
such the people should have ballot
voice in all nolnina tiuns for office.
There is no place in our system of
government for the political boss. He
is offensive, dictatorisI. Let the voice
of the people be heard. Let the people
have the primary--the machine de-
stroyer and the boss buster-and let
all parties have the urinary vote the
same day and the sta ;c or municipality
pay the bill AS in all other elect -

the arrests so important that they

Paris. Nov. 1l.-There Is every rea-
son to believe that the report to the
effect that Nine Anna Gould. who
recently was divorced from Count
Boni de Castolane. has been married
10 Prince Helie de Sagan. is untrue. A
representative Of the Associated Press
went to St. Cheron. where the Chateau
Du Marais. Nine. Goulld's country
house. is situated. He was told that
she was III and could see no one. Nine
Gould has been entertaining at the
chateau for some weeks past. and on
last Friday she gave a hunt to a large
party The Prince de Sagan has been
a constant visitor at tie chateau,
usually calling there about every 10
days.

cabIegram From London Declares
Marriage Took Place In That City
Has Been Divorced From Count de
Castellane a Year.
London. Nov. 11.-Mme. Anna Gould,
who was recently divorced from Count
Boni de Castelane was married 10
Prince Helie de Sagan, In this city,
about a week ago. RumOrs that the
former countess was to marry the
prince have been rife for several
weeks. but II was not supposed that
the marriage would take place until
early next spring.
As nearly as can be ascertained,
Nine Gould and the prince left Paris
about 10 days ago All arrangements
for the wedding in this city were COM
pleted by the prince on previous
visit. Definite information Is NJ
available from either of the principals
or their intimate acquaintance, but
du UNI ldi 10 tADtlltu
within the next few days
All Paris society is sgog over the
news that Nine Gould has so soon en-
barked on the matrimonial sea follow
ing her disastrous match with Count
Castollane. The prince and his bride
are still in this city. but it is under
stood that they will leave for Paris
this week.
One year all bit few days has
elapsed since the Paris court granted
Nine. Gould the divorce for which she
sued when further life with the count
became unbearable The decision OF
the court provided that she should
have the custody CT their three chill
dren. but also that they could not be
taken from France without the con-
sent Of their father This was the
only concession granted TO the count
his demand for an annuity Of $4,000
being rejected by the court.
Details OF the causes which led to
the diyorclng Of the De Castellanes are
OF too recent happening to require any
extended review. The complaint al
legged everything from the squandering
OF his wife's fortune and striking her
TO infdellty.
The case attracted worldwide atten-
lion. the count s novel pleas for REIN
statement and his promises to cut
loose from his old associations form

ing the rushing waters spectators were
Mortified to see the body Of man
clad in a bathing suit sweep by. The
body had probably ben dislodged
from a rock or bush where IT had
lodged in the summer or early fall.
The man was about feet inches In
height and seemed to be well built
The water was too swift for boat TO
live in it, so that no effort was made
to recover the body.
