SkOWhegan and
Direct Primaries.

Skowhegan Me-, Nov. 20.-(SpeciaD.
Names new direct primary law has
become so perplexing to the people in
Skowhegan that there may be a
change in the entire voters registra-
ton system. At a recent meeting the
matter developed to such an extent
that it was found that the town had
no knowledge Of check list designat-
ing the parties that the voters belong
ed TO. 1t was stated that at recent
caucuses for county officers 1000
votes had been cast and at the cleo
ton the entire vote cast in the town
was 700, this showing that some Re-
publicans had voted in the Democrat
lie caucus and soma Democrats in the
Republican caucus.
The most serious problem to candi-
dates for Office or for reelection is
the zone per cent. voters clause
which says that candidate in order
to run under the direct primary rules
must get names OF one per cent. of hi
constituents. There seems to be som
doubt as to whether this means vote
cast for Republican candidates or TO
the entire vote cast. In either cas-
because of the grand landslide at tn
last election no candidate now know
where he can place his hand on
Democrat or a Republican, and Their
