PRIMARY REFORM

One clausee in the resolutions adopt
ed by the Republican state conven-
ton, in Grand Rapids, has caused
much comment as showing a tendency
to bsckslide in regard to primary cleo
tons. This clause reads:
We repudiate the theory that
delegate representatives OF an
honest people are less honest than
the people they represent. and we
demand the continuance of con-
ventions for conference upon state
and national policies and for the
formulation OF platforms outlin-
ing party principles
Charles ID. Joslyn, of Detroit, who
was chairman OF the resolutions COM
mittee, is known TO be strongly or
posed to primary election reform and
the resolutions are understood u
have been prepared by him.

my own feelings too strongly In the
resolutions said .Ioslyn, Saturday
THE resolution may not be taken t,
mean that nominations should be
made in convention or that they
should not--what can be taken from
the resolutions surely Is that the par
" repudiates the idea that conven.
lions are not honest or competent,
which has been one reason advanced
for primary nominations"

confessed their inability To proceed
right away. Everybody agreed that.
