PROGRESSIvES
HEAR TALK ON
DIRECT PRIMARIES
Herbert Knox Smith Bull Moose
GubernatOriaI Candidate
Discusses Question

"Direct Primaries were dealt with
in an interesting talk by Herbert
Knox Smith Of Hartford, before mem
bers of the Bridgeport Progressive
Club, last night. The meeting was
held in the club rooms in the Poll
building on Fairfield avenue, and was
attended by about so members. 1t
took the form Of an open forum and
was decidedly interesting. Members
of the club assumed to be opposed to
direct primaries and attempted to tear
Mr. Smiths arguments to pieces. This
developed some interesting debate and
especially as Mr. Smith was '4pinched''
several times and got warmed up to
his subject.
Mr. Smith also touched upon the
initiative and the referendum and the
recall of Judges and judicial decisions.
but as his time was short these topics
were not discussed so thoroughly as
direct primaries.
Romeo w Miller, president of the
club, presided. A bit of business was
disposed of and then Mr. Smith was
introduced. He explained the princi-
pies of direct primaries and the way
they have worked out in States like
Wisconsin and Oregon where they are
in use and told his audience what
sort of a direct primary bill he would
like to see adopted in this state. He
favored the closed primary or one in
which a voter was required to register
as to what party he was a, member
of. The open primary is one in which
a, voter is not required to so register.
When Mr. Smith said this he aro11s-
ed his audience to an inquisitive point
and was asked several questions as to
why the closed primary was more de-
sired than the open primary. The idea
of Identifying oneself with a, party
before election day does not set well
with some voters, it was explained,
and it was pointed out that when the
Progressfves are called upon to regis
ter next fall it is probable that many
of them will neglect to do this because
they don't care TO identify themselves
with any party. Mr.. Smith defended
primary was more desired as 1t pre-
vented the possibility of the caucus
of one party being packed by another
party or other parties.
Samuel e. Vincent Edward D. Rock
and Others took a prominent part in
points were brought out and the mem
bers present after getting warmed up
to the OCCASION hammered away some
strong arguments against those put up
by Mr.. Smith. 1t was noticeable how
ever that every one who arose to
wasn't understood to be opposed to
direct primaries, but was simply
arguing against them SO as to create
discussion as to the merits and de-
merits of that principle.
The meeting nights of the club will
hefeafter be Thursday instead of Fri
day as it was found that many Of the
club members could not attend on Fri
day nights. The February meeting
will he held the first Thursday of that
month and it is expected that Presi-
dent F7ave1 S. Luther of Trinity col
1ege will come here to discuss some
one or two of the principles of the

Owing to the cheapness of this class
of service, modern delivery vehicles
have found # Impossible to compete
and from the railroad stationn and ho-
tells by these cargadoers. They trot
along the streets with heavy trunks
and nonchaIance as though the bur
den was of no weight. Whenever there
is any moving of household furniture
from place to place it is done by these
men. Many Of the largest stores even
those of large trade, make deliveries
by this means It is this cheap man
ual labor that has so far prevented an
extensive trade being done in this
country in the mattersof selling motor
delivery wagons. 1T is thought, how
ever, that even this hindrance to the
trade will in time be overcome as the
cities of the country become more
modeTnized. In the matter of heavy
hauling, such as is required by many
misunderstanding establishments and
dealers. motor trucks are better suit
ed to carry on the work expeditously
than the present method When it
comes to heavy machinery it is i'm
practicable for eargadoree to handle
the different parts, and the compare
lively few trucks now in use in the
country are employed for this pur-
pose. The biggest field, however, for
motor trucks in Mexico is that of
hauling ore and supplies in the differ
ent mining districts. Already these

mining camps. But for the fact that
the country has been disturbed by a
revolution for the last two years, there
would have been by this time many
motor trucks in use by different min
ing concerns Tentative orders for
these vehicles have been placed and

Tire failure is caused by:
The want of proper air pressure
The overload they are required to
carry.
The rasping wear of skidding.
The bruises which result from strik-

The strain they must stand when

The resistance they must overcome

The dead are Mrs. Mary Kiddie,
