NORRIS HAS A PLAN.
Would Have Federal Law on Presiden-
tial Primaries.

Washington, July 5.-Representa-
tive Norris of Nebraska, progressive
Republican. today introduced a bill
which he declared would remedy the
evils of presidential primaries. In a
prepared statement he declared that
recent events have clearly demon
strated how 1t is possible for a well
regulated and well oiled political ma
chine to tramp1e under foot the wishes
of the rank and file of any political
party
The Norris bill provides for a ma
tional convention for each party the
fourth Monday in June in every pres
idential year.
In the convention each state repre-
sentation would be based on the
party's strength in the state. Dele
gates to the convention would be elect
ed at primaries to be held the first
Tuesday in May, the result of the pri-
maries being certified by state officials
to the secretary of the interior, who
would canvass the states. Voters would
express first and second choice for
presidential candidates and the candi-
date having a majority of the first
choice votes as canvaSSed by the Sec
rotary of the interior would become
the nominee of his party No action
by the convention in regard to the
nominee would be necessary unless
none of the candidates received a ma
iority in which case the convention
would nominate.
The bill would not go into effect I'M
til it's provisions had been accepted
and laws in conformity with it passed
by at least twenty states.
