The extra session enacted pri-
mary law with a convention or as
sembly feature. However, it embodies
all of the elements of direct nomina-
ton after the convention has been
held. This will be the first time that
Colorado has elected officials under
direct primary nomination law of
any kind. The fact that the law en-
bodies both the convention and the di-
rect primary feature will serve to COM
plicate matters and especially will
this be true inasmuch as it is the
first election to be held.
What Constitutes Party.
The first few sections of the party
law defines a political party as any
organization that cast 10 per cent of
the total vote for its candidate for
governor. The law provides first, for
the convention or assembly, and then
for the district primary nomination.
The assembly is for the purpose of
maintaining the regular political or
ganization 1t is formed the same as
a political convention is formed under
our present law. There are caucuses,
primaries, county conventions and
state conyentions. Any person desir-
ing to be a candidate for any Office
presents his name to this assembly
and if he secures support equal to 10
per cent of the total number of dele
gates elected to the assembly, his
name will be placed on the primary
ballot
The names are placed on the pri-
mary ballot according to the number
of votes that were cast in the assem-
bly, In other words, the candidate
polling the largest number of votes
comes first and so on TO the last. All
the assembly can do is to meet and
take one bollot for each office which
is to be filled
If a candidate does not desire to
enter the assembly ne can have his
name placed on the primary ballot
by petition. Anyone desiring to be
candidate for national, state, district
or any Office greater than a county
must secure 300 signatures of regu-
lar voters to a petition and for a coun-
ty of lesser Office he must secure one
hundred. 1t is not necessary that the
signers of these petitions shall be
members of the same political party
to which the candidate aspires. 1t is
only necessary that the signers shall
be resident voters in the territory ov-
er which the Office to which the can
ddate aspires covers.
Candidates by Petition.
Candidates who are nominated by
petition have their names placed on
the primary ballot alphabetically. but

TWELVE INNINGS TO A TIE.
FlerceIy Yesterday, Darkness Ending
the Game.

The shades of night put an end to
one of the fiercest struggles of the sea-
son at Barber park yesterday when
Brattleboro and Bellows Falls fought to
Il tie, 5 to in u innings. An error by
Bosk, playing as outfielder, in the second
inning and a hit misjudged by Wachtel
in the ninth turned the tide against the
Islanders. Jackson pitched the first four
innings and Bosk finished the game. MI
gent, a recruit from Granville, n. Y,
who started for Bellows Falls, was re-
placed by Brignoia after the third in
ming. Bellows Falls presented a team
with six players who have not appeared
in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. whose name is
said to be Anderson-from the New
York state league; the Bennington men;
Perley, the brilliant performer in the out
field, and Nugent Bellows Falls play
ed errorless ball and the work of Ad-
ans, Volk and Perley was particularly
brilliant. A one-handed stop by Mich
OILS was a fine feature.
Bellows Falls tied the score in the
ninth inning when a man came home on
a long fly to the outfeld. In the last
three innings neither side came near
scoring
