Says Hes Not A9atnst Direct Pri-
.,ariea-Scores Governor's Methods.
William Barnes. Jr.. chairman of the
Republican State committee. last night
issued statement in reply to Gov
Sulzcr. The statement reads in part:
The Governor says ! am interested in
the defeat Of the primary legislation which
he has advocated. which Is practically
identical with the Republican proposals
with the exception Of the abolition OF the
State convention lie Is entirely mistaken.
I am not interested in the sense that he
uses the word one way or the other. As
chairman OF the Republican State com
mittee II Is my duty to urge upon the Re-
publican members of the Legislature that
they should support In this matter as In
Republican pledge to the people That
duty have performed.
81 am not concerned or interested
whether the Democratic party Is run by a
Sul2er machine or Murphy machine
They present a great similarity To my
mind. Coercion. compulsion of support
through the use or withdrawal OF patron
age are the familiar notes that are struck
by patronage made machine. I cannot
believe that the people OF New York enjoy
the spectacle of Governor giving and
withholding patronage and Executive ap-
proval of legislation for personal support
OF himself as leader when he Is using
the methods OF boss"

space of this store and will be
