No Extra Session To Enact
Presidential Primary Law

Chances for an extra session of the
Legislature to amend the State primary
law so as to provide for presidential pre-
ference primaries at the expense of the
State are very remote. Gov. McCreary
said that he had not been requested by
anybody to call an extra session for this
purpose, and that he had not considered
any such action. 1t is believed to be
reasonably certain that there will not be
an extra session as there is hardly time
enough to have a session of the Legisla-
ture, amend the law, and then hold a
presidential preference primary before
the national convention is held in Balti-
more. Unless it can be held at the ex-
pense Of the State, it is believed no prim-
airy will be held, as the candidates prob
ably would not be willing to bear the
expense Of primary, costing. as il
would, more than $4,000. The leaders
Of the Wilson forces in Kentucky have
talked Of a primary. and Ollie M.Janles.
| for the Clark forces. has expressed q
| willingness to hold primary to select
the delegates to the National Demo
cratic Convention. At the recent ses-
sion, the House refused to put into the
primary bill a section providing pre-
| ference primaries. and it is believed thai
It would be difficult, If possible, to pass
law putting the selection Of presiden-
tial delegates under the operation OF th'
primary law.
