HOUSE TURNS DOWN
 DIRECT PRIMARIES
Argument Made That 1t Would Lessen
 Influence of Towns
Special to The Bulletin.

toPcCidl lO 1uo DuHollLJ
 Hartford, Aug. S.-The house turned down the proposed direct primaries law by the decisive vote of 131 to 6O Tuesday, Undoubtedly what Judge Banks republican leader, had to say in regard to the bill convinced many of the members from the country tow ns that the measure would not be in op eration to the advantage of their dis tricts, if they were not already con- drrned in that opinion.
 After explaining the purpose of the bill. MT. Banks said in part:
 In New England ours is a system of town governments. This is not true of many of the western states, where such laws as those providing for direct pri- marics are in effect. In New England everything is done by towns. In the west everything is done by counties. The question Is whether you of this house want to abandon one system to take up the other.
 l am believer In the town policy. This bill If passed will mean that the political control of the state will be vested in the cities. The vote in the cities will outweigh the vote in the country towns. I believe in town gov- ernment, in town representation. This bill would give the voters in New Ha : ven 100 times as much to say as the voters in the small towns.
 The small towns have been fair with AIC ClticSs ahe, lOT SldHCe, the Ia Sl two state conventions, both controlled by delegates from small towns, yet nominating candidates from large cities. sprs
 MT. Banks also explained the advan.. tages of the direct primary, but the sentiment of the small town members was strongly against 1t, as is shown by it's defeat by to 1.
 The vote on the bill by members rom the three eastern counties of the state was as follows. those opposed to its passage voting yes, which was to accept the unfavorable majority repor. or the committee. and reject the bill:
 New London county-Yes, Messrs Elgart. Chapman. J. H. Hyde. Morgan, B. P. Spicer. Hoxie, Abell, Allyn, Learned. Stark, H. H. Reynolds, Whiton. Wheeler, Palmer, Grenier. No Fields, Belcher. Craney. MacClimon, Chesebro. Lamphere.

 He believed that if there is to te pruning of legislative expenditures thatlit might be well to begin on some of the big items. He believed the ap- propriation for the Taylor history a reasonable one and the book something that all of the members will want.
 The vote of members from the east ern counties of the state was as fol- lows:

 Souvenir Taylor radiated with hap piness after the vote was announced ending in his favor the most prolonged fight that has ever been waged on tIlis measure, which has had some hard times a other sessions. but started on it's legislative course this year with the handicap of word against it in the inaugural message of the governor, and this latter fact. on the word of vari ous members, kept them from voting for the appropriation, though they were of mind to do so. Nevertheless those in favor and those opposed will all have their pictures in the book, So MT. Taylor says

In education, physical standards,
