The plank calling for the reestablish-
ment of the party nominating State con-

we reaffrm our declaration in the plat
form of 1912 in favor of the retention OF

the direct primaries law are condemned as

are the two most important accomplish

The Barnes followers contend that the
upstate men voted against the motion

might deprive them Of one or two of their

consideration by the constitutional con-
venvon. Mr.. Barnes wanted this clause
let in. however.
