DEMOCRATS LAY
PLANS TO CRUSH
PRIMARY LAWS
Leaders Mark Registration
Bill and Statewide PrOhi-
bitiOn Measure for Death
in State Assembly.
IRYLEAsEp WlRE.l

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. IL Ways
and means for killing three pending
bills in the house are being sought by
Democratic leaders of that body. The
bills marked for destruction are the
Jones primary election measure, the
bill changing the present registration
law and the statewide prohibition
measure.
A committee of three representa-
tives was appointed to study the ques-
ton and report to the Democratic eau
Gus called for Monday night at the
Dennison hotel.
The Jones primary bill was not
brought up in the caucus last night,
but it was learned today that plans
We're being laid to defeat the measure
by substituting legal primary sys-
tenn or providing for a referendum bill
on the proposition in 1916.
The most opposition to the state
wide primary bill, apparently springs
from the reason that it was introduced
by a Republican and the Democratic
representatives do not desire to pass
the bill and allow the Republicans to
take the credit for it. The same feel
ing exists in regard to the Eschbach
bill to give the money derived from
auto licenses to the county treasures.
At last nights caucus Representa-
tive Hickman, the youngest member
OF the house, delivered a speech in
which he urged the Democrats to get
together" on the Jones bill before it is
allowed to come before the house for
action.

by the Cars troops surpass the worst
carnage since the war began. The

The reasons for the failure Of the
German attacks are the severe cold,
it being seven or eight degrees below

to attack except in close formation.
Now Down Germans.
