Thi, morning while waiting on the
Board OF Pardons. number oi prom
incnt attorneys Of the state congre-
gated in front OF the Capitol i'uild-
ing. Naturally the conversation turn
cd 10 the late primaries and the law
as it operates. All of the attorneys
were OF the opinion that it needs
amendments, and some thought that
il should be wiped out
Attorney Gibbons. who originally
opposed this law and fought it out. IS
open in hi, statement, He contends
that the best way to be rid of bad
rubbish is to burn it, This applies
TO the present primary law. He would
clean it out from end to end. taking
chance with conventions. p. \, Nc
Carran was also oi the opinion that
il should be absolutely remcdied and
made more simple and less expensive
to all candidates The county expense
is also a consideration IN his mind
and he j. in sympathy with anv
movement that would remedy the
present condition.
Attorney Tom Saltcr stated that
while he helped pass the present law
that he realized that it was radically
wrong at present, but believes that it
can be remetlied.
Attorney Lee IIorsey. Of Lincoln
County stated that he could cite IN
stances in his county that are con-
vincing that the present primary sys-
tenn is detrimental to the county. the
people and the candidates He told
Of the DETECTION OF votes that were

agreed with the others that the pri
mary law is a farce. The fact was

VISITING ATTORNEYS DISCUSS
THE PRIMARY LAW
All Agree That it Should be Repeal
ed or Amended. Give Reasons

I offer very plain SUGGESTION that
would not be hampcrcd with technical
branches. The theory OF repeating
the whole law and barking back 70
the convention scheme seemed to be
the only way out OF the muddle. The
case OF California and her present
iconditon was cited. There VIII be no
adoption OF the California or Kansas
system in Nevada. 1t was shown that
under the old system OF conventions
that the candidate was saved dou-
Bile campaign. That both or all par
ties put up their best timber for Of
fee. and that Republican did not
take a hand in Democratic affair, or
Democrat in a Republican miN-up.
IT eliminated the independent to 4
large extent, and was far less eXpeh
-ive to. the county. Mr.. Gibbons
cited a case in Washoc County. where
few votes were cast in an out OF the
way precinct, that cost the county
twenty dollars per vote, and there
will have TO be the same expense at
the general election. From the gen
eral consensus OF opinion it seems
that the attorneys favor the absolute
repeal of this Act.
The papers over the state are OF
the same mind. Many of the candi-
dates for the Legislature have openly
announced that they favor the repeal
OF the Act. and the establishment OF
the old convention rule. With senti-
ment 50 strongly opposed TO the prl-
mary system it is sure to be wiped
out
Ormsby County has experienced
two primary elections and they have
proven 50 unsatisfactory and expeu-
size that the old conventions. paid
for bv the delegates. loks good to the
citizens. The step forward that was
taken under this new law was evil
IDENTITY in the sand and uphill. and the
voters have agreed that they have
