HUDSON ON PRIMARY.

That the proposed November
primary is in direct violation Of
the law, and that Governor Noel
nor any other state officer can
recognize the winner of the con-
test, if held, is the gist Of an
opinion handed down by Attor-
ney General S. S. Hudson Oh the
legal questions surrounding the
proposed Perey-Vardaman pri-
mary next fall.
Tue law is plain on this, and
prohibits the use of ballot boxes
or participation in the election
by state or county officers. The
candidates, under this ruling,
would have to defray the expen-
ses of the primary, employing
election judges for every county
and polling place. They would
have to arrange all details for
the election and pay all expenses
out of their own private funds.
Under the law, it would be a
crime to allow the use of ballot
boxes in or to give any recogni-
ton to the election.
The opinion Of Gen. Hudson
is long and deals with the case
in all its details. He has been
busy with it the best part of two
days, and while it has been pre-
pared, it has not been written
out. This is the lirst legal opin-
ion, of an official nature, given
out on the question. The COVER
nor has declared, from the first,
that the proposed primary would
be illegal, and this opinion based
on the law, is clear and pointed
1t practically kills the question
of a special primary, as the exc,
cutive committee, under the law
cannot recognize or even COLI
slider the matter.
Neither Senator Percy nor Mr.
Vardaman can afford to insist up
on the primary in the face of the
law in the case. They would bC
ignoring their party, and neither
of them could he recognized.
Governor Noel asked the at
torhey general for an opinion
couple Of days ago, bnt he was
unable to get to it because o
other pressing business, but wher
he looked into the law and hanC
ed down his opinion, it makes i
clear that the proposed primary
cannot take place.
In support of this contention
General Hudson quotes the law
which is clear There is M

as United States senator, canno

Mr.. McWade then read:
"a poor man fell in love with lady
whose mother was a rich toy dealer.
THE poor man could not marry the rich
lady, because he had no money.
"a villain then offered him $50 If he
would become drunkard.
THE poor man wanted the money to get
married with, so he agreed, but when he
got to the beer saloon he said:
No, l will not become a drunkard,
even for great riches.
"On the way home he found a bag of
gold. So the young lady mari led him. 1t
was a splendid wedding, and the next
day they had twins.

Hildreth looked at him, but, either from
delicacy or from embarrassment, jerks
had turned away.
AS they started back to the boat, Hill

managed to pronounce a question:

tighten him-he went directly to Miss

had shown himself prompt in attack, ac-

she saw the trouble in his eyes.
"No-no," he said absently.

Hildreth again bent his head over the
telegram, in which, no matter what its
contents might be, he suddenly recognized
possibilities of relief 1t contained, IN
fact, only these words:

Whatever doubts he might have nld
about Miss Neville's unwllingness to pa TT
with him, there was no question about his
hosts reluctance
But Hildreth insisted upon the necessity
of his reaching St. Louis more speedily
than the boat could So it was arranged
that he should be landed at Beardstown.

here he was. beaming upon his host and

hosts small boy. all because Cousin"
Dolly smiled at him from the other end
of the table.
Hildreth was not one to scorn a means
to an end: and before dinner was half
over small Harold was his slave, a victim
to an invitation to an Indian encamp-
ment. When Tolman himself confess I'd
to a weakness for Indians, and suggested
that they all go together, Hildreth tried
to look as if his heart was not turning
pleased somersaults within him. But it
was.
Meanwhile the two boats had slipped
away from the levee and headed up
stream, bringing a cool rush of air in
at the windows.
"Ah-h-h-h!' said Tolman. Now we be-
gin to live. Dolly, what would you say
to dessert on deck?"
''rd say, What a nice place to meet

chair. Miss Neville led the way upstairs.
From the steamboat behind ,em came
the faint pulsations of the engine: but
the houseboat itself moved as silently as
if 1t were a great swan. Out of the tail
of his eye Hildreth observed the best
looking man of the crowd maneuver Miss
Neville into sort of pocket among the
deck furnishings. which pocket the man
Immediately closed by seating himself
at the entrance. There was moment
when Hildreth might have defeated the

his little triumph, Hildreth took a hint
