With Esan at ottumwa, Hough Has a
Chance to Grab OFF New

There.

Bert Hough, manager of the 1914
Clinton Pilots, is not sure of his berth
for next year. In fact doubt is ex.
pressed if he will be in the Central
association another season. Hough
was in Keokuk yesterday afternoon
for a conference with President M. E.
Justice. He said the decision regard.

Hough owns the Clinton players but
the franchise is held by the Clinton
baseball association. Around Clinton
there is quite bit of talk about
putting In Clinton man as boss OF
the Pilots next season. With the
new rule, passed at the last directors
meeting, which requires that all but
two old players be released, Clinton
will be much better on If Hough does
not return than she would If this rule
had not been passed.
Although there has been no open
break between Hough and the Clinton
association, they seem unable to get
together over certain things Hough
thinks the association should do for
him. He has asked for three booster
days, while the association thinks two
are enough. Other demands made by
Hough have not been considered ia
vorably by the association.
Hough Is too good a manager for
the association to lose if he does not
return to Clinton. With Egan al

EDITOR
INTERPRETING The PRIMARY LAW

1t is quite natural that in the enactment OF
Il law changing in Il radical manner existing
methods of conducting an election. uncertain
ties, perhaps mistakes, should creep iE Tn" dl-
rect primary law Of the Territory, enacted by
the last Legislature, undoubtedly contains much
that needs construction before certainty is as
sured. That such is the case is by 10 means
reflection Oh the intelligence of our own legiS
lature Law-making bodies of every State in
the Cni0n-indeed, Congress itSelf-havr often
the same experience. The amendment to the
Constitution of the United States requiring the
election of United States Senators by popular
vote was framed by trained constitutional law
yers and debated in Congress for months. Yet
when the Senate was called upon to vote wheth
er the language employed would permit Glass Of
Alabama to be seated under an appointment by
the Governor of that State, the members Of that
august body split so nearly even that one vote
turned the scale.
Therefore, Hawaii need not feel lonely be-
cause the direct primary act is not clear rs it
might have been. Indeed the wonder is that SO
few shortcomings have been discovered.
The STAR Bulletin approves the reported at
tempts of party leaders to do everything in heir
power to have disputed points settled by adjudi-
cation of the Supreme Court of the Territory be-
fore the November election. Whatever may be
the merits or the dement's Of the direct primary
system, there can be no question that vast ma
jority of our electorate favor it's adoption and
desire that its spirit shall be carried out. The
party which opposes any honest, sincere attempc
to have ascertained either it's true meaning. or
such an Interpretation of its terms as will per
nit of it's satisfactory operation, will property
meet with condemnation at the hands Of the
voters.
We are in ignorance of the proper methods
to be employed to accomplish the desired end,
but doubt not that it's accomplishment is prac-
tcable. Should the decision of the court on the
practical operations of the law reveal the neccs-
sitF for alteration and amendment, the remedy,
through the passage of additional laws, should
be comparatively easy.
Therefore, let's all get together and help out
in making the direct primary law something
more than a measure to wrangle over.
