w. o. Smiths View.

In dealing with the local aspect of
the primary idea Senator Smith said:
81 think that the Republican and
Democratic parties advocated the di,
rect primary law without actually know
ing what it meant At the present time
there is recourse for the people if poor
representatives are elected to the con
vention. Public opinion can be brought
to bear to prevent the nomination of an
unworthy man. But under the direct
primary the people would be powerless
after the first step
Senator Chillingworth declared that
one of the essential objects OF the direct
primary was TO do away with the con
vention. He said that the "last
chance" was the poipt that if the
people did not rely on defeating candi-
dates by influence brought to bear in
convention that they could be de-
pended upon 10 accomplish the same
object at the direct primary,

secure greater freedom in government

leave to file a report on same.
"YOur committee has checked up the
estimated receipts and find that the re-
ceipts as estimated in the message cor
respond closely to those arrived at by
your committee.
"By the passage of House Bill No.
l0S items amounting to $4,000 may
be cut out of the Current Appropria-
tion Bill and placed in special bill
to be drawn from the fund for the Con-
servation of our Natural Resources.
"Also by combining several of the
departments, and turning over to the
counties such obligations as they can

additional expense in their various ex-
ecutive forces, would greatly reduce the

HOUSE OF LORDS SCORED
HOUSE OF. COMMONS OVER
WHELMINGLY CLAIMS RIGHT
TO GOVERN FINANCES.

LONDON, Dec. BY a majority
of 215 the house of commons today
recorded its claim to exclusive con-
troll of the nations purse-a claim
never before challenged in modern
times. The vote was taken on a res
olu:ion offered by Premier Asquith,
which. declared that the action of the
house Of lords IN refusing to pass into
aw the financial provisions made by
the chamber for the expenses of the
year, was a breach Of the constitution
and usurpation of the rights of the
house of commons"
The resolution was passed by vote
of 349 to 1874. By this vote the OPP
posing forces of the lords and COM
mons are paced in battle array for
one of the greatest constitutional
struggles that has come before the
country for centuries. Scenes of en-
thusiasm which accompanied the vot-
ing of Mr.. Asquith's resolution were
in marked contrast to those witnessed
in the recent debate in the house of
lords. No prominent members of the
government side arose in the house
of commons to utter solemn warn
ings against the course the ministers
were pursuing. The ministerial ranks
were Closed in a complete unanimity
of protest against the action Of the
upper house.

ton. evidently was suffering from eff
