Democrats May Have to Hold Primary.
The Detroit News is authority
for the statement that the demo.
Gratis may have to hold a state
primary this fall for the nomina-
ton of governor and lieutenant
governor. We quote herewith
the article from the News in full:
democratic State Chairman
John L. Winship said a few days
ago, that the democrats might
have no state primary this year,
but might nominate their candi-
dates for governor and lieutenant
governor at convention. Now
comes Deputy Secretary of State
Mears, saying that as he reads
the primary law, in it's amended
form, it is mandatory on all pol
itical parties to nominate candi-
dates for governor and lieutenant.
governor at primaries. The
party that does not so nominate
as he reads the law, cannot have
the names of its candidates for
governor and acknowledgement
printed upon the official ballot
on election day next November.
The places must be left blank,
but voters can write in the names
Of their choice.
The secretary Of state will put
the matter up to the attorney,
general for an opinion.
The reason why a democratic
state primary seems a matter Of
Indifference is not because the
party leaders prefer conven-
ton to primary. 1t is that
nobody is disposed to spend the
time and money getting petitions
to be nominated for an office
when, though winning at the pri-
maries, it is a foregone conclu-
sion, will meet defeat on election

as they found Reynolds for only one hit
while Paw Paw made II safe bingles,
several OF them two baggers, off the

HUNT AMONG nile RUINS
NATIONAL MUSEUM TO SEND
SCIENTIST TO EGYPT.
Important Field to Be Explored Be.
fore Being Covered by Fiume
Basin Waters.

Through an arrangement with the
Metropolitan Museum of Art In New
York. the National Museum of this city
Will within a day or two send d repre-
sentative to Egypt to participate in some
important excavations being made there.
There are several other parties in the
field now from several of which the mu-
scum will be able to reap results, either
material or in the way of information.
The Egyptian government Is doing some
important work that will have to be hur-
ried up before the waters of the Nile are
backed up into the big Fiume basin for
irrigation purposes, thus covering up an
important archaeological field that the gov
ernments wants to explore before further
work is made impossible by the water.
The representative of the National Mu-
scum who is to be sent to Egypt is DR..
A. HrdIicka the anthropologist of the in
stitution. The Museum of Art in New
York is interested in prehistoric art as
we'll as historic art, and has accumulated
some rich remains from Egypt Inn
portant work is now being done about
thirty miles south of Cairo. at Lisht and
the oasis Of kharga. Last year the New
York museum saved out some of the
skulls and physical remains, not being
concerned in that line of research. and
sent them to the National Museum here.
1t was a small but valuable collection.
1t would have been more valuable, how
ever. had the remains been examined by
an expert before their removal So the
museum this year has arranged to send
representative whose services will be
given to the New York museum while he
Is there as a matter Of courtesy.
The examination of the physical re-
mains will go far toward settling an in
teresting question on which scientists are
divided. 1t is held by some that there
has been no change in the racial char
acteristtcs Of the Egyptians since the be-
