I believe in providing for direct nomi-

in direct preferential primaries for the
election of delegates to the national
nominating conventions. Not as mat
ter Of theory. but as matter Of plain
and proved experience. we find that the
convention system, while it often re-
lords the popular will, is also often
used by a6roit politicians as method
Of thwarting the popular will. In other
words, the existing machinery for nom

signed to secure the real expression of

ASKS OCEAN MAIL BIDS
Proposals Wanted for Carriage
Through Panama Canal to
Pacific Ports.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
advertised for new bids for fast mail
service from coast to coast in Ameri-
can vessels via the Panama canal.
Eight routes are provided for linking
Boston, New York. Baltimore, New
Orleans, Seattle, San Francisco and
Portland, Ore. Three will be covered
by second-class vessels of not less than
5000 tons displacement and a speed of
at least sixteen knots an hour at sea-,
and five routes will be covered by
vessels of the third class, of not less
than 900 tons displacement and a
speed of not less than fourteen knots
an hour. Under the ocean mail act
the Second-clasS vessels will receive
not more than 50 a mile and those Of
the third class not more than 81 mile.
All the vessels must be built on plans
approved by the Secretary OF the Navy,
and with particular reference to their
economical conversion into auxiliary
naval cruisers.
1t is said Bernard n. Baker Of Balti-
more is expected to bid for the contract,
and that he is backed up by $4,000 OOO
capital, provided Congress will pass an
act giving passage through the canal to
American vessels without payment OF
tolls and Withholding that right from ves-
sells of other nations; also that the use
of the canal be prohibited to vessels
owned or operated by the transcontinen-
tai railroad companies in competition.

LEANING TOWER IN DANGER.
Peril Not Immediate, But Precau'

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
MILAN. May A. 1912
THE leaning tower of Pisa is not. we
think. in immediate danger: nevertheless
hurry up with your preventive measures
II you wish to avert another such catas-
trophe as that Of the Venice Campanile."
Such, in substance, is the conclusion
which the royal commission experts have
just presented to the Italian government.
The worst menace to the safety of the
famous structure Is due to the presence
of strong currents Of fresh water
athwart the base of the tower. These
currents, undermining the foundations,
must have already created notable hol-
lows in the subsoii. and. what is more
serious. no effectual means have hitherto
been devised for checking them.
Since the British architects, Messrs.
Cresy and Taylor examined the tower In
1S17. its leaning propensities have in
creased five and half centimeters to the
lineal meter, and under the influence OF
a north wind the leaning tower il SUBJ
jected to the enormous pressure OF about
800 pounds to the square yard.
