FavOrs Commission Plan
in Dealing With Cor
pOratiOns.


reporter today Governor elect
Glasscock expressed himself em-
phatically in favor Of the enact,
ment of statewide primary law
by the approaching session of the
Legislature.
He halds that the new law
should be one which will put the
selection of candidates from al,
states, congressional, Legislative
and county offices in the bands
of the voters, and he wants West
Virginia to have primary
election law no less complete and
adequate than those of the most
progressive states of the union.
Mr.. Glasscock suggests that it
might facilitate the perfection
and passage of q well considered
measure if the matter were refer
red by the legislature to special
Joint committee of the senate and
house, instead of referring all the
primary bills that may bo offered
to the regular committees on
elections. Such a special COM
mittee could give much time to
t he consideration of this all-im
portant subject, could examine
and compare the ideas submitted
in the various bills, and could
give hearings to all who might
have suggestions to offer. The
bill as agreed upon by the JOINT
committee could be reported for
consideration in both houses early
enough in the session to have its
provisions and the questions in
volved thoroughly threshed out III
debate and in the state press.
Zone of the pointsat which the
Cooper bill of last sessions fails
to meet the requirements of an
ideal primary law" said Mr..
Glasscock, sis that it's operation
might result In the nomination
of candidate for state office,
or for the United States senate,
by comparatively small fraction
of the party vote. 1t seems to
me that the Legislature should
consider carefully the possibility
of adopting some remedy for this
defect. You may say, however,
that the people of the state ex-
pect the Legislature to enact a
primary law. They have promis-
ed such law in the republican
platform and l do not believe
there will be any disposition on
the part of the law makers to go
back on the promises which have
been made in the state conven-
tions of both parties.
