delegates TO the Roanoke convention
to-day made public their reasons for
opposing the present primary plan. and
foreshadow the line OF attack to he
made on the primary at the coming
State convention. Last week the Nan
semond delegation, who, when elected,
passed a resolution condemning the
present primary system, met and ap-
pointed committee of three-Dr.
Thomas II. Barnes. Hon. Robert W..
Withers and Colonel j. e. West-to
draw up a party plan to be offered at
the Roanoke convention as a substitute,
or, at least, as an optional substitute,
for the primary.
This committee met to-day and pre-
pared a long statement arguing against
the primary and indicating the line of
attack to be made at Roanoke. The
text OF the proposed plan is not given
in the statement. The arguments are
along the lines OF those used in the
original meeting here, in which war
on the primary system was declared.
The committee challenges the primary
advocates to cure Its defects, and pro-
poses that party authorities be given
power to substitute county and district
conventions as the method Of making
nominations. 1t is suggested that the
primary be retained as safety valve
against boss rule.

NEUTRAL SPIRITS NOT SAME
District supreme Court Su.tains View

WASHINGTON. ID. c., June a.-The
question which caused SO mucn con
troversy between government officials
and dfstillers as to whether or not
whiskey and neutral spirits are like
substances, has been judicially deter
mined by the District of Columbia
Court of Appeals. which holds that
they arc not like substances. thereby
sustaining the view taken by President
Roosevelt and Astorney-GeneralB Bona
parte when the matter was passed
upon by them after the Ydistillers had
appealed TO them from the decisions of
the Department OF Agriculture. 1t also
was decided that Bourbon whiskey can
only be made In the state OF Kentucky
and must be from a mash. the chief
ingredient Of which Is corn.
The decision was In what is known
as the Levy-url case, and covers sub
stantially every point of the two whis-
key test cases instituted by the De-
tpartnent OF Justice In Washington and
Baltimore, the former being against
the James Clark Dlstilling Company
for the alleged mislabelllns as whiskey
a mixture Of neutral spirits and whls-
key and the latter against a Baltimore
house for labelling neutral spirits made
from molassess In Louisiana, as "bour-
bon whiskey."

WILLIAM WEST TO
HAVE new TRIAL
Supreme Court Holds Conviction
Last Spring Was on insufficient
Evidence--Suggcsts Dismissal.

The supreme court sprung a
surprise on Elmore county peo-
pie Wednesday, when it handed
down a decision in the matter
of the appeal of William West
against the decision of the dis
trict court for this county,
which sentenced him last spring
to serve a term of six years
at the penitentiary for grand
larceny, the alleged offence hav-
ing been committed six years
ago. West was convicted the
first time on this charge in
June, 1903, but was sent back
for re-trial soon after on the
ground of misconduct on the
part of some of the jurors.
Last spring he was again
brought to trial, but the first
jury disagreed and was dis
missed. A second jury found
him guilty and he was sem
fenced to serve six years. An
appeal was duly entered by his
attorney, W. c. Howie, and on
Wednesday the supreme court
decided that the verdict was
based on insufficient evidence
and recommended that unless
the State had further evidence
against the defendent, he be
dismissed.
The charge against West was
that he had stolen two horses,
the same being the property of
A. J. Harley and J. B. Whitson,
both of this county, and it has
always been the general opin-
ion here that he was guilty of
the offense charged. County
Attorney Mclaughlin, when in
terviewed regarding the case,
stated there was no question
but that additional evidence
