PRIMARY NOMINATIONS
FOR THE PRESIDENCY.

urge the prompt enactment
of legislation which will provide
for primary elections through
out the country at which the
voters Of the several parties may
choose their nominees for the
presidency without the interven-
ton Of nominating conventions.
venture the suggestion that this
legislation should provide for the
retention of party conventions,
but only for the purpose OF de-
claring and accepting the YER
dict Of the primaries and formu-
Iating the platforms OF the par
ties, and ! suggest that these
conventions should consist not
of delegates chosen for this sin
gle purpose, but of the nominees
for congress, the nominees for
vacant seats in the senate OF the
United States, the senators
whose terms have not yet closed,
the national committees and the
candidates for the presidency
themselves, in order that plat
forms may be framed by those
responsible to the people for car
rying them into effect.

PRESIDENT MAKES KNOWN
HIS PHILIPPINE POLICY.

President Wilson's policy to-
ward the Philippine Islands is
made clear in his message. He
urges the development Of the
Philippines, always keeping in
view ultimate independence of
the islanders. While he does not
believe they are ready for self
government today he believes
that eventually they will be. He
points out improvement that has
recently been made by calling
attention to the fact that more
natives have been appointed on
the Philippine commission than
was the case previously.

URGES CURRENCY REFORM
TO BENEFIT THE FARMER.

President Wilson in his mes
sage urges the immediate pas
sage Of currency legislation. He
asserts that business interests Of
the nation are waiting on the ex-
pected law before making large
new investments or developing
resources. The president also
calls attention to conditions as
they exist at present, which
make il very difficult for the
farmer TO finance his crop. He
urges in his annual message pro-
visions that will safeguard the
farmer, help his credit and pre-
vent a repetition Of the neces-
sity for the governmental to de-
post large sums Of money in
the southern and western states
so as to aid the producer, as was
the case last fall.

ments and n clear path Indicated

1t is as important that they should be
relieved OF embarrassment and set
free to prosper as that private monop-
oily should he destroyed. The ways of
action should be thrown wide open.

very greatly In their work Of framing

great and many sided question. but
feel confident that common counsel
will produce the results we must all
desire.

GIRLS TO ASSIST IN
CLEANUP CAMPAIGN
WILL MAKE CANVASS OF THE
CITY IN INTERESTS OF BET
TER SANITARY CONDITIONS


The Woman's Club of Las Vegas
has enlisted the services Of the young
women of the city in its campaign for
making Las Vegas a cleaner and more
sanitary place in which to reside. The
girls have agreed to assist the club
in inducing the citizens to engaeg the
services of the man who has been au.
thorized and designated as cleanup
man." This man will remove all garb-
age and trash from each residence
property for so cents a month. He
will make regular trips and all that is
required of the householder is to have
his rubbish ready for hauling. The
cost of this system is so little, that
it is thought no difficulty viii be en-
countered in getting every family in
Las Vegas to cooperate in the clean
ing work. Each house whose occu-
pant is a subscriber win be marked
with a placard prepared by the Wo-
mans club. The work is being done
under the direction Of the health com
mittee of the club.

Freezing TEMPERATURE
IS EXPECTED TONIGHT
SNOW FALLS IN LA JUNTA AND
TRINIDAD AND FORECAST is
FOR COLD WEATHER

Reports from La Junta, Ration and
Trinidad say that big snow storm IS
raging all over the country north of
this city. The storm extends as far
as Wagon Mound and is moving south.
A few flakes fell here this afternoon,
signifying the white substance viii
scon cover this city.
All the young men who had prophe-
sled that the winter was over and
that there would be no more cold
weather and who had put on their B.
V. D. underwear and other cooling
wearing apparel, win now regret their
move. A number Of these young men
were seen on the streets this after
noon shivering. and others were run
ming for their oyereoats that had been
put away for the summer.
The weather reports for today state
that Las Vegas may expect freezing
temperature tonight. All of the eiti
zens who have garden stuff coming VI
should take special precaution this
evening and see that everything is
well covered OF they may be forced t
replant their truck. The snow. how
ever, will not harm the crops but vii
put sufficient moisture IN the grount
to get the soil in perfect condition
Those who have budding fruit tree
would best be on the alert tonight.

Among the Danish beech groves
near the Baltic sea- began the earth
enware jar
"Oh, goody, that's the kind of
story we like" sang out the plates
along the wall.
Yes, that was where spent my
childhood days. The house was kept
in such good order. The furniture
was so bright and clean. The win
dows were like mirrors
"'Oh what a-beautiful story, Choir
used the hair broom, the water pail
and the plates altogether. So the
earthenware jar went on with her
story to the end and everybody was
glad to have heard it.
=" Now what shall we do next"
called the tea urn.
"T'n dance, cried the fire-tongs.
And she danced right merrily.
"'Oh, mercy, said the matches to
each other; how common these peo-
pie are
Then the tea-urn was asked to
sing, but she had very bad cold.
Him. said the old quill pen on
the window ledge. If tea-urns can't
sing, why not ask the nightingale
just outside the window to come in
and sing for us?'
"Tish, tush,' called the tea kettle,
who always considered it his special
right to do all the singing, I am
ashamed of any one suggesting that
we ask a foreigner to help in our en-
tertainmeI1t
I am sorry, too, said the turf
basket, that such a thing should be
mentioned. Let's turn everything
topsy-turyy. Let's have a new order
of things.
Good, they all cried together.
