After every election in Indiana, when

movement TO enact a law providing
less time shall elapse between the
time OF nomination Of candidates
and their election. This agitation is
now spreading through the state.

thing may come out Of IL this time.
About the only person who would
lose by a change in the time OF
primaries is the professional poll
tician. The successful candidates
would gain. as well as the losers.
Ofttimes now a candidate must cam
paign from the time of the primary
in the spring 10 the time of election

ne is seeking he may be a financial
loser.
