.STATEPR|MARYP PLAN
FOR PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTIONS HEARD
Democratic Leaders Discuss
Putting Wilson Idea Into
Effect = Committee to
Draft Plan Named

Washington. January 6.-Plans for put
ting into effect the presidential preference
primary idea suggested by President Will
son were discussed here today by demo-
Common Counsel club. A plan of state
primaries proposed by Joseph w. Folk
was supported by other speakers, includ-
ing Secretaries Redfield and Wilson, Sena-
tons Owen, Louis Brandeis, Assistant Sec
retary Hamlin of the treasury department
and John Burke, trea surer of the United
States.
A committee was named to draft a
plan for the state primary method OF
nominating presidents. If the committee's
report is adopted at the next meeting
of the club it probably will be presented
to the meeting in May of the House gov
ernors, and the committee will urge Con-
gress to adopt legislation necessary for
making the plan operative.
The trust question was discussed during
the meeting and some difference of opin-
ion arose between Secretary Redfield and
Mr.. Brandeis as to the best method of
sisted that his long advocated method of
vigorous prosecution was best, while Sec
retary Redfield held that the party should
not proceed too rapidly in this work for
fear it might disturb business conditions
He said that the trusts seemed to be be-
ginning to realize that they would have
to come into line and that they might be
brought under proper control without
taking any chances of upsetting general
business conditions.
FavOrs State Plan
Opposition to presidential preference pri-
maries, Mr.. Folk told the club, had been
due largely to belief that it would ''ln-
terfere with the rights of the states to
regulate and conduct their own elections"
For this reason he said he was for the
state plan.
'There should be little difficulty" Mr..
Folk declared, ''in working out such a
system, and an amendment to the con-
stitution. it seems, would not be required
to carry this plan into effect. Congress
might by law authorize presidential pref
erence primaries to be held under the
laws of the different states, as state pri-
marieS are now held"
A bill to provide for primary elections
at which voters of all parties may choose
their presidential nominees has been COM
pleted by Representative Rucker of Mis-
souri, chairman of the House committee
on election of President and vice presi-
dent, to carry out the administration rec
concentrations. The MEASURE will be
taken up by the committee January q.
Mr.. Rucker has conferred with Secretary
Bryan and other administration officials
in preparing his measure. 1t provides for
retaining party conventions only for the

GOVERNMENT POLICY
TOWARD NEW HAVEN
IS ABOUT DECIDED.
Road to Be Allowed Proper
Reorganization Practical
ly UnmOlested-McRey-
n0lds Ready for Fight

Washington. January 6.-The New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad
and the department of justice had reached
a point in the negotiations tonight where
it was almost certain that the final policy
of the government toward that road will
be announced within the next 4S hours.
If the New Haven agrees to a complete
reorganization, which will insure the res
toration of what the department consid-
ers fair measure of competition in tha
field of New England transportation, il
will be allowed to pursue its plans for
such a reorganization virtually unmolest-
ed by the government. II the railroad
prefers to fight, Attorney General Nc
Reynolds will institute proceedings un-
der the antitrust act to divorce the New
Haven from its steamship, trolley a., /
railroad holdings.
Predict Peaceful Plan
Unofficial predictions tonight favored
the peaceful plan.
The confident feeling that the New
Haven and the department will arrive at
solution which will avoid Z. long strug-
gle in the courts followed an all-day con-
ference between Howard Elliott, chair
man of the board of the railroad; Attor-
ney General McReynolds and T. w Greg
ory and Jesse c. Adkins. special assist
ants to the Attorney General
Mr.. Elliott tonight announced he eX-
pected to remain in Washington until
Thursday and while he will not be in
consultation with department officials
tomorrow he will keep in close touch
with the situation.
To satisfy the department the New
Haven must agree:
To ielinquish control over the Bos-
toin Maine railroad and to cancel its
joint agreement with New York Cen
trail for the operation of the Boston
and Albany; to dispose of its trolley
lines in New England and its steam
ship lines operating between New York
and points on Long Island sound and
New York and Boston and southern
ports and Boston.
Dispose of Proposition
BY semi-offfcia1 announcement, di-
rectors of the road have disposed of
the first proposition. To comply with
the provision of the Panama canal act
the New Haven must dispose of its
steamship lines by June !. The ques-
tion of the trolley lines has been one
point which troubled both the depart
ment and Chairman Elliott. There was
a suge estion that the New Haven might
put Its trolley lines in the hands of
trustees who would operate them for
a stated period and then dispose of tha
stock to other parties.
There .has been no disposition on the
part of the Attorney General or his
assistants to bring up in the discus
sons with Mr. Elliott the question of
criminal proceedings against former
New Haven officials or directors This
matter will be settled after the present
problem has been solved

If KOhlsaat had cut loose and

GLASS Of SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If Your Back is Aching or Bladder
Bothers, Drink Lots of Water
and Eat Less Meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild. harmless salts, which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ
ity. The function of the kidneys is
to filter the blood In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can t drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad. Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast each morning for
a few days and your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and slim
ulate elogged kidneys; also to neutral
ize the acids in urine so it is no longer
source of irritation, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive; cannot in
iure; makes a delightful efferveseent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep their
kidneys clean and active. Try this, and
also keep up the water drinking, and
no doubt you will wonder what became
of your kidney trouble and baekaehe.

OHIO WILL VOTE ON
SUFFRAGE NEXT FALL

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 5.-That the
voters of Ohio will be given the oppor-
tunity to vote on a woman suffrage
amendment at the general elections on
November 3, was made certain today
when petitions with more than 100000
names were on file with the secretary
of state, asking for the submission of a
proposed constitutional amendment to
that effect to voters of the common
wealth. The preliminary step in the
suffrage campaign comes as the result
of hard campaigning by an organiza-
tion as complete as any ever seen in
ohio. In every county and township
throughout the state, suffrage workers,
with petitions, have covered literally
every inch of ground in an effort to
procure signatures and swing voters to
their side.
With the filing of the petitions came
stories of how signatures in many cases
were secured from many who had
hitherto opposed votes for women.
Names were written down in fence
corners, on plOw handles, or on street
cars. One woman told of climbing a

vince a farmer that woman is capable

Harriet Upton Tyler, president of the
Ohio suffrage organization ''Two
years ago we hoped to win, but we were
scattered and disorganized, but that
gave us our lesson. Next November 3,
