Foraker is expected, now that
the national convention call has
been issued. to write his promised
letter to Walter Brown proposing
his plan for this primary. Truth
to tell he and Dick also seem to
be little puzzled over the methods
to be followed. In short, all these
politicians who have SO long op-

like a real promary law find them
selves entangled in the perplex-
ing counterfeits they themselves
wrote on the statute books to fool
the people.
1t now develops that the dis
trict, as well as the state conven-

primary. The usual national Re-
publican committee call provided
that district delegates should be
chosen as was the congressman
from that district and in Ohio
this is usually by district conven-
tion.
This provision was eliminated
from the call just issued by the
Republican national committee. In
lieu thereof a provision was insert

state law permitted

instead was leisurely transferred in u
