PRIMARY QUESTION.

Tammany's control of New York
State has been effective in the de-
feat Of the direct primary bill adj
vocated by Governor Sulzer The
Governor is in earnest, however,
and has threatened TO drive ont of
the Democratic party and from
public life every man who opposes
the measure.
The Governor designated a sub
stitute measure which Tammany
passed as "a betrayal of the people,
fraud and sham" The split
between the Governor and Tam
many is widening. While the
Governors time was occupied with
affairs of the people the generals
of Tammany's legislative army
held councils of war and consid..
cred the most effective means of
putting the Governor Gin bad"
Insofar as direct primaries are
concerned, New York is no worse
than Tennessee. Every effort to
obtain this reform in the Volun-
teer State so far has failed. The
reform is as important as the cleo.
tion of Senators by the people.
1t should accompany another
important reform, towit, direct
legislation. We shall probably
be involved in a turmoil of politics
on the liquor question until it is
submitted in some form of refer
endum to the State as a whole.
This and all other Of our diff
