SPANISH PRIMATE PROTESTS
Says Associations Bill Plan Is a
Violation of Concordat.

Madrid, May 1s.-Cardinal Aguirre Y
Garcia. the Primate Of Spain. to-day sent
protest to the parliamentary committee
having in charge the associations bill
which provides for the regulation Of re-
ligious and other societies and which is at
present an issue between Spain and the
Vatican because of the Pope's insistence
that the measure form the subject OF an
entente between Rome and Madrid before
il is acted upon by the Cortes.
The Cardinal declares that by not con-
suting with the Holy See as to the ques-
tions included in the bill, the government
has violated the Concordat OF 1851 and has
imperilled It's conscience as regards the
Church by granting excessive liberty 70
propaganda hostile to Catholicism.

March. in North Dakota, and last
through until the end of May, and as
the pulse OF the people in the five
states is read slowly through a period
of two and a half months, the stock of
different presidential aspirants is like
ly to rise or fall, as the elections in
dicate. In June it is expected, the
two most important national conven-
tions will be held
There is one important condition in
the Oregon system which makes it un-
certain that delegates from a particu-
lar state, say Nebraska, will carry out
the instructions of the greater number
of individual electors residing in that
state It is this: In the event ii shall
be determined beyond doubt in ma
tional convention that a delegation
will be throwing away its voting pow.
er in carrying out the directions of the
state voters. then the delegates may
vote otherwise. The obligation to rep
resent the will of the people of Ne.
braska is a moral one, not a legal
one.
The Oregon law, adopted by the peo
pie of that state in 1910, provides that
in general election years the qualified
electors shall be given the opportunity
to express their choice for president
and vice president, and the ballots
shall be. cast, counted and canvassed
elected. The names of the candidates
of the various political parties shall
appear on he party nominating ballot
| from president down to the last elec
tive precinct officer The final result
of the election shall be officially Ger
tilted to the convention delegates who
! have at the same time been elected.
How Plan Works.
It is the right of the voter in the
primary election to vote for one can
didate for national convention dele
gate in his party for the nomination
in turn of one prudential elector The
names of aspirants for the Office of ma
tional convention delegate shall bt
placed on the nominating ballot by pc
tition of certain per cent of the
party vote at the election next preced
|
ing in the state for members of Con
gress, or the signatures of a certain
number of party voters. The travellin.
expenses are to be paid by the stat'
for each convention delegate for &C
tual attendance upon the convention
if such expenses do not exceed stat
ed amount for delegates. An oath o
office to uphold the Constitution ant
laws of the United States and of th'
state is provided in the presidential
preference law. 1t is also sworn by th'
delegates that he will, to the best o
Instability and judgment follow th'
will of his district.
The privilege is granted each aspir
ant for the office of delegate who's
name is placed on the nominating bal

lot. to use four pages in his party's
campaign book. setting forth his plea
for election as delegate. Each person
nominated for president or vice-pres-
ident shall be accorded four pages of
space in his party's state campaign
book under the Oregon law, free of
charge. Other candidates who are
voted for by the electors of the state
at large shall be charged 500 for this
campaign book privilege, and this
amount shall not be counted in the
ten per cent OF one years salary that
the candidate is allowed to spend in
his campaign.
