BOTH WRITE LETTERS
Wilson and Bryan Endorse State
Wide Primary Plan.

Washington, March 17.-Letters from
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan.
endorsing the movement Of a state
wide primary law in Indiana, were
made public today by Senator Kern.
The subject will come up at the In
diana Democratic convention of which
Senator Kern is to be permanent
chairman. Both letters referred to a
published interview with the senator
lately on that subject.
President Wilson wrote: "I have
noticed with unusual interest your in
terview the other day about the absence
of a law for state wide primaries in
Indiana. I was very much surprised
to learn that SO great and wideaWake
a state was SO far behind the process
sion in a matter of such capital i'm
portance and I want to express my
deep interest in your efforts to bring
about the necessary legislation. 1t
would hearten Democrats everywhere
to see this done by Indiana"
Secretary Bryan wrote:
ton, desire to thank you for giving
out the interview which you did the
other day. I feel a personal interest
in what your convention does, because
1 have spoken in Indiana more than
in any other state, outside of Ne
hraska. and one cannot be as well ac-
Quainted as I am with your Indiana
Democrats without feeling an attach
ment for them and taking a pride in
what they do. 1 earnestly hope that
your state convention will declare for
a state wide primary election tomor-
row.
"The primary has become a settled
practice in almost all the states, and
is destined to be the settled practice
Of all states.

gard to the initiative and referendum

gether because the same principle un-

of Excursion to Relief of
Poverty and Distress

The operators OF the Grand and
Cadillac Offices Of the Michigan State
