PRIMARY BILL PASSED
Continued from first page

D
Republicans once more 10 confer. This
was granted, and the Senate took a
recess for an hour In that time the
Republicans thrashed out the subject
again and decided that they couldn
afford to vote for this bill.
Human Denounces Measure.
When the Senate reconvened. Human
began a searching analysis Of the meas
ure-that analysis being in effect a de,
nunciation Of it as a fake direct nomina-
tons bill.
we Republicans" said he. would be
clad 10 assist in passing q real direct
primary bill 10 meet the demands Of the
state. But the minority cannot and
should not assist in any such proposition
as is here now. People who were not
sincere friends Of direct nominations
have been monkeying with it or the bill
wouldn't contain some Of the provisions
it does
He said a provision requiring the
printing Of registry lists upstate was
entirely unnecessary and would entail
thousands Of dollars Of expense. A pro-
vision permitting the election Of state
committeeman by the delegates Il the
state convention, I'm case no candidate
~ the primaries received a majority Of
the votes. seemed to him 20 offer fine
oDportunities for machine manipulation.
He denounced especially the provisions
regarding the use of the party emblem
and the party funds by the committees
in perpetuating themselves. Also, the
provision allowing 70 independents only
five DAYS to get mp their petitions for
the placing of their names on the pri-
mary ballot seemed to him very bad.
This is the best ever from the stand
noint Of the machinist," said Senator
Hinman. and in the present day the
political machine is run by pretty COM
uetent mechanics. This bin is entirely
contrary to the foundation principles Of
direct primaries. II does not meet the
lows expressed in the Governors recent
messages on that subject They had
the ring of sincerity. and I predict that
if this bill reaches the Land that penned
them It will be vetoed. The Governor
can't sign il without insulting every be-
lever in direct primaries III this state.
The party that becomes responsible for
this bill will rue the day.
