NO BASIS FOR PEACE

Insist on Concessions:

Rome Jan. 26.-No basis for nego-
tiations FOR peace between Italy and
Turkey which are likely to have any
probability of success has been found
altho the work Of the European diplo-
matte chancellories has been carried on
actively both In Constantinople and
Rome during the last few days.
In response to suggestions from var
ious embassies. Turkey says that the
powers. if they are DESTROYS Of peace
should induce Italy to make conces-
sions since Turkey can not accept with
no form of redress the spoliaion she
has suffered.
Rome, on the other hand, responds
to the hints Of the foreign chancellories
that the only remedy for the present
situation is that pressure should be put
by the powers on the porte.

NEW PRIMARY SCHEME.
Plan Advocated BY Wi,ish Party Strife
Would Be Avoided. I.

Would 1s Avoided.
Special to Times Republican.
Washington, Jan. ga new scheme
for senatorial primary has been
evolved and advocated by Senator
Clarence w. Watson, Of West Virginia.
Senator Watson proposes to make
1t possible for the West Virginia DEM
ocrats to present a united front to 'the
common enemy" all thru the pre- cleo
ton campaign next year and at the
same time to nave a primary on the
Senatorship. ~
He would do this simply by not h;,v-
ing senatorial primary after the cleo
tions in West Virginia next November.
In this way. he believes. all sdemo rats
would unite heartily to elect the demo-
cratic national ticket. to elect state
officers and to elect the legislature.
Nobody would be distracted because Of
any soreness growing out Of a primary
defeat
So we'll does Senator Watson think
of the plan that he has written q letter
to State Chairman Bennett. Of the West
Virginia democratic central commit
tee, advising that it be done. He ad-
vises the chairman that after the cleo
tions, after the democrats have elected
a legislature. then the state committee
can arrange for a senatorial primary
and all will be happy
While this novel notion OF primary
is derided in some quarters. 1t Is likely
to give Former Senator Nathan Bay
Scott. Davis Elkins ana other leaders
Of the West Virginia republican ma
chine, some bad nights. Watson Is
known as shrewd politician. who has
oodles of money. He is resourcefui and
he bankers to remain IN the senate.
II he has his way about holding of the
primary until after election day next
November. there Is said to be little
doubt that the republican leaders sin
the state will have to put in overtime
for some months to come II they expect
to keep watson from succeeding him-
