promise on the Sulzer direct primary
bill. abolishing State conventions, was
suggested at the hearing on the bill In
the assembly chamber this afternoon,
by M. z. Haven. Of Syracuse. who has
been foremost in the fight for the gov
ernor's bill.
Mr. Haven Is not much of be-
lever in the substitution of the State
party council for the State party con-
ventiOn.
The best asset the Democratic par
ty has today" said Mr.. Haven. sis that
man in the executive chamber named
Sulzer. We wants his direct primary
bill placed on the statute books, and
think that we win disorganize the
opposition IL we put a provision in
this bill providing that before the
party primary, the chairman of the
State committee must call a meeting
of the $50 members OF the State COM
mittee, and of the sixty-one chairmen
who shall meet and perform all the
functions of a State convention.
May Have Sulzer's Approval
Prompt acquiesence by ex-Speaker
d. D. Frisbie in the suggestion Of
Mr.. Haven, that the blu be thus
the plan had Governor Suffers ap-
prevail.
Governor Sulzer was a busy man
today. His first work was to issue
prepared statements in answer to those
Of Charles r. Murphy. and Judge G.
M. Curtis, published this morning. La
ter members OF his direct primary war
board called to pay their respects and
the governor, before they departed,
said In an address in which he as
sured them that they need have no
fear. about the vile and baseless at
tacks the enemies Of the direct pri-
mary cause are making on me, be-
cause am leading the fight"
"Our enemies demanded that I de-
sist; that be proxy governor; that
become a rubber stamp tool OF
censpirators to loot the State, and to
rob the taxpayers. I refused. They
did not know me then, but they know
me now"
A dozen assemblymen and senators
attended the primary hearing in the
assembly chamber out of the 2o1 MEM
bers of the Legislature.
Prominent Speakers
The first speaker was John Purroy
Mitchell. In his address he pointed
out that there was no one present in
opposition to the bill. and declared the
nature which does not invite discussion
in the open.
Franklin d. Roosevelt assistant sec
rotary of the navy, said he was con-

maries was approved generally by the

No Town Meeting.

he said. Ito study the practical ap-
plication Of its provisions to existing
business"
Mr.. Hepburn and other members
of the conference said that they had
heard Of no general meeting Of banks
ers called. or to be called. to consider
the bill. as II has been rumored.
What good would town meeting
like that be anyway" asked one
banker.
When asked IL the bankers at the
conference were in favor Of the bill
as 1t stands, with the feature Of gov
eminent control, Mr.. Hepburn quick
ly replied, They are not
Among the chief results OF the con-
ferences of the bankers today were
four main points. The first was the
question of governmental control of
the federal reserve board. The bank
ers expressed themselves as In accord
with the Democratic administration
policy that the banking system OF
the country should be Under the su-
pervfsion of the government On the
other hand, they point out that there
Is a vast difference between controli-
ing supervision, and whole handed
governmental administration and
operation. The modification which 1t
is believed they have pointed out on
this question liz that the banking
system be governed along the lines of
the Interstate commerce commission,
which is body that supervises the
affairs of the railroads, but by no
means operates or administers them.
The Middieway.
The bankers have pointed out a
middle way of supervision. both by
reduction of powers of the board.
and n minority representation of the
banks, which does away with the OBJ
fashionable bank features OF the pre-
sert measure.
In tire second point. the bankers
have suggested a modification of the
reserve deposit requirements to re-
lfeve the country banks by allowing
them to keep q part OF their reserves
an at present with the natural bust
ness central reserve banks at New
York, Chicago, and other places.
The bankers have emphasized a
necessary modification of the provis-
ion, which: shall make the note ciren-
lation provided by the bill liability
of the reserve banks, rather than a
ment one of the bankers pointed
out the great danger to the govern
ment in time of war. II the govern
inent assumes the liability for the
notes. Instead of having the separate
credit of the banks TO lean on in war
times, as has always ben done. the
government is without additional re-
source as the credit of the banks is
tied up with its own in this note
liability. The security Of the notes
without the government liability it is
pointed out, is beyond question.
The Fourth Point.

hopefulness that the desired changes
IN the bill may De made.
