"and was for Bryan on the free silver

Information to be had in the legislative
reference department of the state IL
brary shows that every state In the
union has a primary election law or
some kind on it's statute books, some
closely and some but loosely controlling
the selection of party nominees In
most of the southern states the laws
merely leave the party organization
the method for selecting the nominees.
The parties in the south generally have
adopted the primary system and con-
troll the primaries by rules adopted by
the party. The more rigid laws are in
the northern. states The states now
having state wide mandatory primary
election laws are Iowa. Illinois, Ken
tucly. Massachusetts, Michigan, Min
nesota. New Jersey, North Dakota,
Ohio. Oregon. Texas and Wisconsin.
Iowa has taken advanced ground in
it's primary election law as compared
TO most of the states of the union and
it is believed that there will be very
few amendments offered. The drift or
sentiment in most of the states tina
have passed the more rigid prima !,
laws has been towards preserving -
party organizations but many of W.
allow voting of split" tickets g lS
Ifor some nominees of one parrS and
other nominees of another party where
the office is different.

General Grant BIames w. c. T. U. for
Loss Of Canteen to Army.
New York, Aug. 19.-Members OF the
Woman's Christian Temperance union
in New York expressed indignation to-
day over statements made by General
+. ID. Grant to the effect that the health
of the United States army Is worse
than that of any army in the world,
and that the Womans Christian Tenn
perance union is in a great measure to
be blamed for this condition of affirs.
General Grant, who is the commander
of the department of the east, said:
'It is a fact, according to the sta
tistics submitted to me, that the health
of the United States army Is worse on
the whole than that of any other of the
worlds armies There are many rea-
sons for that, but they are mostly to
be found in connection with the restric-
tions placed upon the men as the re-
suit Of Women's Christian Temperance
unions and other such movements.
"The canteen has been taken away,
and these organizations have put moth
ing in it's place. The health Of the men
in general is better, altho there has
been a great increase in some diseases.
Yet politics continues to play its part"

Netherlands Does Not Think Dispute.
With Venezuela Can Be Settled by
Agreement Between Outside Inter-
ests - A Question Of Honor.

The Hague, Aug. 1s.-The cabinet,
after nine-hour session, discussed
exllaustively in all its phases the dis
pute between The Netherlands and
Venezuela. The terms of The Neither
lands answer to the letter of President
Castro, it is understood We're agreed
upon In diplomatic circles the view Is
entertained that the difficulty is not Of
a nature to be settled by arbitration.
and in explanation it is pointed out
that the dispute is not of a. private
commercial character like the difficult
Germany and America. 1t is main
tanned here that the present question
rather is one of sovereignty and ma
tional honor, matters not susceptible
to solution by arbitration.
ct has been agreed to push all neces-
sary preparations in order to be ready
to support the ultimatum should it be
decided to forward one to Castro.
Work will be rushed night and day
at the naval dock yards to complete
preparations needed by warships.
Meanwhile every effort will be made
to find pacific solution of the dispute,
especially in view of the fact that
Queen Wilhelmina is opposed to re-
sorting to war until all other methods
have been tried. In the event Of
marlike measures, it is understood
there first will be naval demonstra-
ton off La Guaira. Subsequent action
will depend upon the result Of this
course
