Tammany Boss.

ALBANY. March Gov. Glynn sent
special message TO the Legislature recon-
mending not only all OF the amendments
to the direct primary law suggested by the
National Democratic Club OF New York
city. which. It is believed. will help
eliminate Charles +. Murphy as the Tam
many leader. but also those providing
that candidate shall attach an affidavit
to his certificate OF expenses and pro-
hibiting contributions by contractors fur
nishing labor or materials to the state
or municipality.
The Governor said might that he was
anxious t. have as nearly perfect pri-
mary law as was possible. In his mes
sage he said:
Il recommend for your consideration
the enactment OF suitable legislation FOR
the further prevention OF frauds at pri.
mary and general elections.
The Democratic Legislature. OF 1919
enacted a Massachusetts ballot law for
general elections and direct primary
law providing for comprehensive and
workable system II direct primaries ap-
plying not only throughout the state tu'
to State officers as well as local officers ,

tee and the county committee, and re-
curing that the members of both

. hihitiug the use OF party funds at pri-
mary elections.
Lawyers and public spirited citizens
who were reputed as the most familiar
with the election Jaw We're consulted in

gsstlons had the most careful consid-ra-
ton by the bill drafting department.

public will be subserved by giving these

stance thereof.
"In the matter OF the enforcement If
these substantial amendments so en-
acted. however. ! have received number
! OF suggestions, which | deem to he II
first importance. and ! herewith urge you
to give the same your prompt considera-

In particular | specifically recommend
|. That the election district be made the

will be conducted by h-parti san instead
of partisan boards Of inspectors 2 That

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Senator Benja-

into the debate on Mexico to-day long
enough to get the adoption of a resolu-
ton to amend the rules so as to prevent
smoking during executive sessions OF the
Senate. He made brief speech. at times
humorous and at others pathetic, in sup
port of his resolution In which he advised
Senators to look after their health.

years since he was paralyzcd and has
been struggling to restore himself to

President Sherman had died

New York is $50 year, while the
rate for the entire Bell System is
$30.93. OF course New York thinks
it is abused-and so do the people of
San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and
all other cities.
England has been averaging up"
since taking over the telephones, with
the result that outside of London resi-
dence rentals average $38.SS while
business phones limited to 1900 calls
cost $43.74. London, Liverpool and
other metropolitan centers have lower
rates in consequence. Independent of
the larger issues involved in govern
ment ownership there is a good deal
of talk among Members of Congress
to the effect that there has already
been too much of this sort of business
that "equalizes" in favor of the cities
at the expense of the rest of the coun-
try. And while following the story
of rates at home and abroad the stu
dent of the question finds that while
there are not nearly as many tele-
phones in proportion to population in
Europe as in the United States, there
is a good deal more profanity over
there because of the inefficient SER
vice.
