Powers Working For Peace

But in spite of diplomatic pour parlers, the danger of war is
grave-so grave, in fact, that all during the night Emperor William
ofGermany and King George of England have been working to
avert the threatened conflict. The lights are still burning in the
Foreign Office in Downing street Premier Asquith and Sir Ed
ward Grey, the British Minister of Foreign Affairs, have been at
their posts all night in constant communication with the French
Foreign Office in the Quay d'Orsay, in an almost hopeless endeavor
to find a solution of the tangled diplomatic skein. That they have
not found If It's proved by the lights still burning in Downing street
The crux of the situation lies between Russia and Austria If
Russia backs Servia-if the Gar has offered King Peter the support
of his armies-war can hardly be averted.
The steps towards mobilization which Austria and Russia are
although but preliminary precautions, have made possible
a vision of the vast consequences which, so far as Great Britain is
concerned, are considered nothing less than appalling

LEGISI-ATIV COMMENT
By LEWIS H. MACHEN.
A DENATURED PRIMARY

The amendments proposed i by the
senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections to tho Byrd Featherston
primary elections bill. Will. IL adopted,
have tho effect OF practically destroy
ing the utility Of the measure. 1t may
not DC true that majority of the
committee intended that their recon
mendations should huve this effect;
ana yet II they had been drawn by
the enemies OF tho whole plan Of
legalzins tho primary, they could not
nave been more a'iroItly DEVISED for
It's destruction. Their main effect
would be to reserve to the various
party committees the very powers that
nave caused most OF the complaint
against the present loose party system,
which has shown itself to be so per-
iectiy ADOPTED 10 tho preparation OF
every Kind of fraud. and to put IL IN

made by Senator Catron} and senator
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1912-02-27

One great objection which has been
urged against the primary by its
enemies is that ii gives the rich cam
didates a great advantage over the
poor ones. The Byrd bill endeavored
to remedy this BY limiting the amount
which any candidate might spend &c
10 cents for every vote cast in the
preceding subernatorial election. The
Senate committee proposes TO increase
this amount 10 10 cents vote. In
that event candidate for nomination
as Governor might spend $4,000. The
poor man would then be at "a
decided Disadvantage. Lieutenant
ernor Ellyson stated to the committee
that he was in favor OF restricting
the amount further than the Byrd bill
did, but the committee Seems 10 have
reversed his advice Another evil OF
the present system Is the large as
sessments that are placed upon can
didates. The Byrd bill limited these
assessments 10 per cent. of one years
salary. The committee has proposed
