WAR ON STATE PRIMARY LAW
Strong Sentiment Exists in Favor of
Repeal and Return to Con-
vention System.

Des Moines, Dec. I2.-AThat there is
strong sentiment for the repeal of
the entire primary law and to go back
to the old convention system is appar-
ent from the expressions of many of
the incoming legislators and political
leaders. The feeling is so strong that
it is now apparent some action will be
taken by the coming Legislature. eth
er repeating the law entirely or
amended it in some positive form.
Many of the men who were once
favorable to the law are now against
it, leaders say. 1t affords too wide an
opportunity for any individual to get
his name on the ticket regardless OF
his qualifications, in the opinion Of
many.
A man who is a good handshaker
and is energetic in getting about and
soliciting votes has the best chance of
winning the nomination, it is pointed
out.
1t is claimed by opponents of the
primary law that this state has not
had as strong legislatures since the
primary law took effect as before. 1t
is too easy for some man who is not
really representative of the people
to slip into office. it is claimed. j
There are numerous seasoned politi-
cal leaders in this state now who de
clare that the present primary for
choosing a candidate for president is
a farce. This expression has been us
ed by leaders in various parts of the
state in reply to questions sent out
by the state republican central com
mittee early in the summer and to
questions submitted to them since
that time. And it has surprised even
those conducting inquiries into the
feelings as to the primary law how
many reply Repeal the whole pri
mary law and go back to the conVen
ton system" The repeal of the non
partisan judiciary law seems probable
