Disagrees With President.

pressed in his message as to the power
of Congress to deal with this subject
of presidential primaries" said he. 1T
would be nothing more than good or
bad advice according to the view of
states in regard thereto.
The Constitution provides that the
manner of selecting presidential electors
shall be determined by the state legisla-
lures. The federal government controls
only the time of their election, but not
the manner. If we could pass "a law, we
would have no power to enforce it. How
would we enforce such a law if state
legislature saw fit to disregard it,
The bill was brought up for considera-
ton at this time because of disposition
Of the contests over the Lee and Glass
cases in Maryland and Alabama. 1t is
designed to prevent a recurrence of any
such contests as arise from the seven
teenth constitutional amendment.
An effort to reach vote on the bill
failed owing to desire to extend debate
by southern senators who are opposed
to the measure.

ACTION ON RAKER BILL
DEFERRED BY REQUEST
Secretary Bryan Urges Committee to
Wait Until Settlement of
japanese Difficulty.

Secretary Bryan urged the House immi-
grafton committee today to take no ac-
ton on the Raker bill for exclusion OF
Asiatic immigrants. Diplomatic neSotia-
tions between the United States and
Japan over the California anti-alien land
laws and the whole question of the Asi-
attic exclusion We're discussed at length
behind closed doors. The Secretary bound
republicans and democrats alike to Sc
crecy and told them the administration
needed to be free from legislative en-
barrassmcnts in dealing with the situa-
ton diplomatically.
Secretary Bryan told the committee
that the negotiations with Japan regard
ing the California alien land law were pro
crossing favorably. and that unless
some I'M toward circumstances arose he
hoped for an amicable adjustment OF the
japanese difficulty. An agitation of the
question in Congress at this time, he
declared, would be most unfortunate.
