WILSON silent
On SINGLE TERN
Favors Britten's Plan For
Presidential Primaries and
Direct Election.

Washington, May 30.-Representa-
tive Britten Of Illinois sought Presi-
dent Wilson's views on his measures
to provide a six-year single term for
president and vice president, the
abolition Of nominating conventions
and the choice of president and vice
president by preference primaries and
direct elections without the use of
electors.
Mr.. Britten said on leaving the
White House that the president ia
vored- the abolition of national con-
ventions for nominating purposes, but
thought them necessary to draft party
platforms. He declared that Mr.. Will
son approved presidential primaries
and direct election, which would
shorten the ballot. On the six-year
proposition Mr.. Britten said the presi-
dent refrained from comment.
White House officials stated that the
president had not arrived at any con-
clusion as to the practicability of
abolishing national conventions, but
had always favored nomination by the
primary system and a shorter ballot.

Clifford Pinchot, James A. Garfield,

The trouble arose during the last
campaign. Roosevelt. in political
speech at Marquette, declared that
Congressman Young, friend of New
ett's was an attorney of the steel trust.
That was on October 8. On October
IL Newett came out in his paper with
an editorial, in which he referred to
the colonel as liar and a blasphemer
and also said that the colonel got
drunk often.
When the colonel saw this article in
Newett's paper, the Iron Ore, he ord
cred libel proceedings to be COM
menced. The damages asked are $1O,-
900.
Newett started as printers devil at
sixteen. Now at ffty-six he's an edi-

SCISSOR Of modest fortune. Though
the charge has been made that he is
