his instructive liking for him increase.
1t gave Runnels pleasure to see how
he attended to his work once he had
settled down to it.
Accordingly, it afforded him an un-
pleasant surprise when he received a
printed letter from a st. Louis detec-
tive agency relative to one Frank Wei
lar. alias Jefferson Locke CAST seen in
New York city Nov. 90 and Offering a
substantial reward for information
leading to his arrest. The communica-

there was TO be Il dual primary-the

by the two parties. He said that TINS

of their party for the right TO vote.
and that 1t would afford the Repup
cans the same right.
Mr.. Rison supported this PROPOSE
ton, declaring that 1t seemed 10 him
to he a solution of Il veAlng question.

ilng party, the party Judges could de-

Mr. Holt, the patron of the bill,
supported the proposition. He be-
lieved that it was a step in the direc-
ton of anord ding adequate and COM
plete protection at the ballot box 10
all parties. and would be so governed
and controlled that there could be no
question as to the interference of one
party with another in the matter of

Mr.. Gravatt supported the amend
ment, his only fear being as 10 the
cost OF such an undertaking as a dou-
BILE primary, and two sets of judges
for each precinct in the State. He
believed that the suggestion was a
splendid one, and but for the cost he
would unhesiIatingly declare at once
in favor of the same.
1t was expia ned that In few sections
of the State would the cost be OF
