Col. McGraw Replies
TO The Letter OF Senator Watson In Regard
TO State Primary La,o-P PLAINLY Gfres
Forth His Reason

Since Senator Watson announced that
he was ia favor OF a State primary alter
the election, to determine the choicc OF
the Democrats for United States Sena-
tor, Col. John T. McGraw has been
asked to reply. Thursday the CO onel
gave to The Leader the following in
terview-:
Responding to your inquiry.
have read Senator Watsons letter with
respect to Primary Election for the
nomination of candidate for United
States Senator, after the general cleo
ton. tits, IN effect. the plan suggested
by Hon. Albert Sydney Johnston. of
| Monroe, one of the ablest and best men
IN the State. don't think the norniua-
fion OF candidate for the Senate after
the election will prove satisfactory to the
Democrats of the State who favor the
Primary System for the nomination of
all elective offices, because in the end, if
the plan suggested be adopted. II will be
the source of dissatisfaction and party
discord, 1t occurs to me. for the following
reasons:
First 1t will necessitate a new cleo
ton, with all the costs, irritation and an
noyances incident thereto, after the peo-
pie of the State have just gone tn ough
an exciting Presidential and State slec-
ton.
Second-It will be difficult, so soon
after the Presidential election, TO get the
people to the polls, in slch a post-elec-
ton. particularly in the rural districts,
and will entail large expenditure upon
the candidates, to organize in each of
the counties of the State. in order to get
their friends again to the polls.
Third-The amount of money which
each candidate for United States Sena-
tor. under the late Act of Congress and
our Corrupt Practices Acts. IS authorized
to expepd, would not be sufficient to de-
fray the actual. ordinary and legitimate
expenses which a candidate would be re-
CURED to expend, IN order to make a
canvass and get to the election full
vote of the Democratic electors.
Fourth-Ifthe votes polled did NOT
represent fair aggregate of the Demo-
cratic votes cast at the general t ectiop.
and there were five or six candidates for
the Senate, no one of which candidates
received reasonably large plurality, the
members of the Legislature would not
be bound to accept the result, because Il
would not represent a fair expression of
the Democratic voters. as shown by the
preceding general election.
If the Democratic party thinks it I'M
wise to hold such election earlier than
the general election. suggest a primary
election for Senator. conducted under the
auspices of the State Committee, on the
day OF the general election. to be held
under such rules and regulations as NAV
be prescribed by the Democratic State
Committee
ms plan would cause the candidates
for Senator to exert their energies to-
wards having all their friends at the
polls for the general election, at a time
when The party most needs them. and
thus insure full party vote, and prac-
tcally elect Senator at the same time a
Governor and other State officers are
chosen

bought 1912 seven-passenger limousine.
The car is finished in dark blue, the in

afford the Congressman splendid tour

other counties perhaps a good burro
would give him more real service.
