PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES

The quadrennial campaign of
1912 for the American presidency
will be memorable, if for no other
reason, for the first application in
choice of candidates of the direct
primary system, thus logically
completing the structure now ris-
ing. Wisconsin, Nebraska, New
Jersey, Oregon and North Dakota
now have laws making such action
by electors possible. California
and Kansas among the northern
states and seven of the more pro-
gressive southern states are NOV.
ing in the same direction. Both
the Republican and Democratic
national conventions are certain to
have several state delegations of
men chosen by the rank and file
in primaries rather than by state
conventions. The movement is
one that progressive leaders Of
both the parties are fostering. as it
manifestly makes more difficult the
nomination of delegates who are
puppets Of state party bosses, such

OF state conventions. The method
also makes possible divided state
delegations and thus works against

Story Of a Jilt|
by Herself:-

Her slender. fragile grace had somehow
detied time, though her bloom had long
since vanished.
Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan had an apart
ment on lower Fifth avenue, just 4
block from Washington square. ! re-
member how sweet and green the Square
was; spring was still fresa and children
played riotously In the little oasis the
city had spared them. The name OF
Manhattan always conjures up for me
that bit OF lower Fifth avenue and
Washington square, and / see II a. a
city of shining innocence. harboring tho
youth of growing things, early grass
and leaves and little children.
Because the Injuries OF the town laid
no hold upon me-because. too. | was
sick of profitless traflcklng with the
affections OF others-I had now no de-
sire for anything but a life OF simple
peace and the pursuit OF art.
Soon after reaching New York I made
musical connections that resulted In a

every spring and autumn for a visit,
and she was proud OF me, and the Dun
cans were kind. and I thought myself
in a safe and permanent harbor.
Sut one night. at a rectal where Z
had been one OF the performers, I met
Leonard Hall. He was at that time a
coming mana pianist who had already

, from whom much more was confidently
