PROGRESSIVE PRIMARIES ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER I

Voters will ask why the new Pro-
gressive party in this state Will hold
its primaries September Z. and a.
part from the direct primaries OF
September 10th.
The law cOmpels this course. The
law provides no other method Tor
the launching Of a new party In
Washington.
Under the law participation In
the direct primaries of September
10 ia confined to old partiesTto
parties that polled at least 10 per
cent of the total vote cast at the
last preceding election.
The law further provides that q
new party. or a party that cast less
than 10 per cent of the total vote
at the last election, must nominate
its candidates-state, congressional
and county-in conventions held on
the day that the direct primaries
are held for the old parties. The
date set by law this year for the al
rect primaries of the old parties Is
September 10. Therefore the pro-
gressive candidates must Do nomi-
mated in state and county conveh-
tions held on September 10.
The Progressive party Is oppos-
ed to the old convention system, ana
resorts to 1t now only because the
law is plain and mandatory. But
the state committee has devised q
plan to avoid the log-rolling evils OF
the convention system. 1t has di-
rected the holding of direct prefer

PUBLIC SERVICE.
Lawrence - Father Of Conservation
Movement.
In 1890, as Register of United States
Land Office at Waterville, held all
lieu land selections by the Northern
Pacific Railroad void-a decision sus-
tained by the Department of the In
terror, which would have secured
homes to thousands of settlers, but
were lost later through ruling of Sec
retary of the Interior permitting new
selections of lieu lands from Lake Su-
perior to Puget Sound to date back
to the original illegal selections.
In 1898, tried through appeals to
newspapers, public men, members OF
congress, to defeat bill giving the
railroad the right to select other lands
in lieu of these in controversy with
settlers and pointing out that the rail-
road would secure all the valuable
timber lands In the Northwest.
But the bill passed. Five years later

article showing how Mr.. Lawrence 3
