BILL BARS PARTY EMBLEM
Senator SAKE Denies Democratic
Position Is Misleading.
TBy Telegraph to Tn. Tribune.

Albany Feb. 3.-Senator John Godfrey
SAKE. who prepared the section in the
Democratic bill amending last years pri-
mary law regarding the use OF the party
emblem. took issue to-day with J. o. Ham
mitt. secretary OF the Citizens Union, on
the Interpretation Of the amendment. Mr.
Hammitt announced a few days ago that
under the amendments the party commit
tees were not debsrred specifically from
using the party emblem in the primaries.
Since that was the purport OF the change
in this section. he held that the Democratic
announcement that this had been done was
misleading
Senator SAKE said to-day that as the bill
stood the party committees could not under
anv circumstances use the party emblem
in urinary contests, any more than So
called independent group could do so. Last
wears law, he said made the party emblem
the primary emblem of the party commit
tee. while il gave to groups OF independents
making contest in the primaries the rlght
TO select some emblem other than the OF
6cial party emblem. His amendment he
said, had been drawn with great care IL
eliminated from the law the clause making
the party emblem the official committee
emblem, and thus put the of1Clal parry
committee on plane with any other group
OF party members in the primary-gNihg
to them the right 10 choose an emoieii' Ou'
not the party emblem. .,. or,,t
This section of the law was mnch Crlll-
cised, and Senator SAKE says the DeHlo

Mr.. Hopper told OF the results reached by
the conference committee representing the
Republican organization, the independence
League. the Citizens Union and the city
Club, which has thoroughly investigated
the act and proposed measures for It's
amendment. Most OF the points advocated
by this committee have been Incorporated
in bill drafted by Senator Wagner DEM
ocratic leader In the State Senate, which
will be introduced on Wednesday or Thurs
day. to amend the Blauvelt measure. The
object of a direct primary bill, he eX-
planned, was to put every member OF a
party on an equal footing. Then II he did
not come to the primaries he said, Il was
his own fault.
Taking up his argument Robert S. Blink
erd, secretary of the City Club, declared
that the alleged primary law incorro-
rated everything that tended to assist the
machine in retaining It's control and left
out everything that made 1t worth While
for the voters to go TO the polls.
