These gases uniting with the heated air entering

In conclusion wish to say that
experience mas SUOWH that the pE1-
mary of every kind we have tried
has proved to be a waste of energy
and money, a burden of strife, and
a disrupter of organized parties.

discussion in the community, ii has

forms which were expected from il.
The convention and caucus system
met the emergencies of the past. 1t

has ever met. 1t is doubtful if a
| primary would have done so well.
| Abuses grew up around the caucus
and convention, but these could

is the duty of the Legislature to re-
store to the people of the state the
benefits of the convention, regulated
