Presidential Primaries

Thcle is much believe that the prcsi- dents recommendation for the popular nomination of candidates for the presidency will be given earnest attention by the present congress- There can be fewer objections such q primary than to the state or county primary which, has been argued. nominations may go to unworthy candf- dates rather than better men. While we think that such an eventuaIity is exception to the rule. We can easily see how energetic dena- gogue with whom the people of d county or state might be superficiaIy acquainted and whom they might meet face to face in the course of d primary campaign might defeat unassuming less showy but better
 But such a thing could not possibly happen in 2 presidential primary. Any candidate with any hope of securing the nomination would have to he a national figure His political personal life must have been laid bare the whole country be- fore he could enter the contest with the ronotcst prospect of success. The dark horse would never run lh such race. Never could unpopular can ddate be foisted upon party
 Furthermore, it would be less likely that T party would suffer 2 compromise it's principles m q national convention. Many times in the past the platform of party has been arranged to meet the views of dominating candidate or it has been changed to placste some element in a convention that it's support might bc secured for some candidate
 It might be argued that a convention ,yo,,11 have better opportunity to judge or the strength of q candidate and thus add to the chances of party success.

 T cannot help feeling very much hurt at the attitude of the California suffragists toward the national association and the work of the whole country. My earnest desire has been that suffra- gists. just each state Won instead of dropping the national association, and away from the uncnfranchised states, would adhere all the closely to 1t and give 1t the support and encoumgement which all of the suffragists of the country gave to California and the other states, California would have suffrage it had been for the co-operation of suffra- gists of other states, and the money and hard
 Now the California suffragtsts claim that they have enough do look after the state work, and l suppose every other state could have said that thing even before California franchised, but they did not, and they did every thing they could to help and while il is true California has asked less support than other states nevertheless it did take the time and strength of good many of us for many months.
 But loyalty, every state does. to those still disfranchised If after another drop out the states left have a feeling of antagonisIn which They feel if they indifferent to the success of anybody but themselves, and that it is the the who and nobody else in the world.
 Kansas alone has been splendidly loyal, and I wish might have been the same with California. I think the sefshness of the whole movement is very remarkable

When meeting eyes keep nothing back
 But let the guarded mystery go Two souls will keep one sunlit track
 Till down the wind the planets blow We crossed a frozen world apart As lonely wings about the pole. I hardly thought she kept a heart;
 I never dreamed she nursed a soul And then our eyes together drew
 A wondering holy lighted space And-shy, strange things beneath the blue
 The soul swam up to either face And nova woven free T-Am-

Willie Ritchie as he appears on the
 links.

Willie Ritchie is some golfer and he believes that the ancient Scotch game does much to help condition a fighter, a ball player or an athlete in any walk of life The lightweight champion is going to take his daily trip to the links while he is working for his coming battle with Harlem Tommy Murphy, and he is just game enough to play against all corners.
 T never thought of golf till l was back in New York on my last trip" laughed the little title holder in San Francisco the other day. Some friends who just rave over the game finally persuaded me to go out on the links one morning. Just to please them, made the trip, but in wardly I felt bored, for I thought it was too tame a game for me.
 "Well, I got stuck on the Scotch sport right away, and ever since have been spending all my spare time on the links"
