Wilson Urges State Wide
Primary Law for Indiana

indebted to you for the intelligence
and conscience you have put into that
great task"
Sen. Kern also received a letter
from Secretary Bryan endorsing
state wide e-rimaries and the initiat-
i've and referendum.
Bryan Also Endorses Plan.
'I earnestly hope that your state
convention will declare for a state
wide primary law wrote Secy.
Bryan.
The primary has become a settled
practice in almost all the states and
is destined to be the settled practice
of all states. 1t would be a reflection
upon the voters of Indiana TO say that
they are not capable of dealing with
their own affairs as the voters of 9TH
er states 1t is no more necessary for
them 10 select delegates TO think for
them than il is for the people of other
states to think and act directly
through delegates, and the same may
be said in regard to the initiative and
referendum-thOse two reforms gem
orally going together because the
same principle underlieS both. 1 do
not see how any objection can be
raised to the initiative and referen-
dunn; if the people have not only the
right TO govern themselves. but the
capacity to do so, they should be in a
position to cOerce their representa-
tives into obedience to their will. The
presidents endorsement of the initial
i've and referendum ought TO help you
in the fight for these reforms. for he
has time to demonstrate his devotion
TO the best and highest interests of
the party and the approval which he
has won ought to strengthen these
reforms"

Clothes.

WELLESLEY. Mass, March IL
Two hundred and fifty girl students
at Wellesley college fled in their night
clothes early Tuesday when College
hall, the largest and Oldest of the
Wellesley college group of buildings,
was destroyed by fire. The damage
was 100000. One fireman was over
come by smoke and a score of girls
had narrow escapes. After fleeing
from the building the girls fought the
fire until the tiremen arrived. Help
was sent from Newton and Natick TO
aid the Wellesley fire force.
The girls were hurried or assisted
out Of the buildings by squads of
rescuers who ran through the halls,
smashing in doors.
Dense smoke filled the halls and
stairways as the girls groped their
way To the first floor. Most of them
lost all their effects. The fire had
gained great headway before il was
discovered. One of the girls awoke
to find ner room filled with smoke
and she gave the alarm. The fact
that the fire started near the roof
prevented a serious loss of life.
The building was situated on a hill
overlooking the town and the flames
leaped high and were seen for miles.
College hall was erected in the
early seventies IL was five stories
high and 475 feet long.
The loss in iewelry, clothing and
personal belongings of the students
alone amounted 10 more than $4,000.
In addition a number of valuable
scientific collections were destroyed.
