Cailan Likes Present System.


Mr. Callan, of Columbia. enunciated
the doctrine that there was nothing the
matter with the present system. The
trouble was that the people had civic
laziness." Besides all this. certain re-
strictions must be placed OF the people, -
he declared.
Messrs. Toombs, of New York; Ward,
of New York and Parker. of Washing
ton. opposed the bill. Ar Fowler, of
Ulster, said there was no great good in
either the Governor or the organiza-
tons bill, and no harm would be done if
both were defeated. Mr. Conklin went
into a long and impassioned denuncia-
ton of the direct primary system, based
in part on the findings of the special leg
islative com .-iittee which took the Junk
citing trip through the Middle West Mr.
Young Of Westchester said the whole
proposition was Fictitious. He admitted
il was hard for him to consider ii with
ont prejudice, because Of the executive
pressure in favor of the bill He de-
clared that there had been great
amount of Intolerance on the part of
advocates of the bill. who had been in
sulting IN some Of their utterances.
For the Legislature to lie down and
submit to such attacks without resent
ment would he an insult to decent
American manhood" he declared I'm
go home perfectly satisfied if we don't
pass any primary legislation whatever"
Mr.. Phillips. of AlIegany, spoke in
favor OF his bill. Speaker Wadsworth
followed him, declaring that in his coun-
ty the direct issue had been made
We had hard fight; no quarter was
asked and none given. You know the
result said he He maintained that the
Governors bill repealed the primary law

that the bill was fine for the bosses.
