BarksdaIe pure elsction law. This

regular and fraudulent practices in
campaigns preceding general elections
and primaries. II expressly prohibits
one candidate paying another to get
cut of the race. and as unmistakably
prohibits any person. whether a can
didate or not. paying a candidate to
retire trom a campaign. Moreover
the law holds candidate for office
who knowingly permits third party
60 pay another candidate TO retire In
his favor TO he guilty of a misds-
meauor.
Thus We have law which. 10 en-
forced, gives protection against wrong
practices on the part Of candidates
and their friends and political organi-
cations in primaries as well as In gen.
ersi elections. Unfortunately. however,
this law does not cover the conduct
OF primary elections themselves. And
since section 1900 is held TO be In
valid, the most palpable frauds in the
conduct of a primary must go unpun-
ished.
Tn, necessity fer an act Of the leg
islature legaiizing the primary system
hardly will be denied new even by
those who have been most insistent In
the claim that the primary already IS
sufficiently iegalszed.
