Favors State Primaries.

Speaking Of ways in which such plan
can be carried out, Solicitor Folk said
that either nationwide primary or
state primaries might be adopted. He
favored the latter plan, saying he thought
it would operate more satisfactorily. He
said that Congress should provide by law
for presidential primaries to be held under
the laws of the different states and that
the candidate for President who receives
a plurality of the votes Of his party in a
state should have the vote Of that state.
which should be calculated upon the basis
OF representation Of the particular state
In the national Congress-
"A provision should be made" he con-
tnued for canvassing the vote by state
authority. and for forwarding the vote of
each state to some central official or
board with power to canvass the re-
turns from the different states, pro-
claim the results and announce the
nominees. This plan would preserve the
rights of the states and at the same
time give the people the power to select
their own nominees, without the inter
yentlon of bosses or cliques."
