OTHER STATES TO
HOLD PRIMARIES

Washington, March THE eyes oil
all politicians are now tuned on In
diana, where today is being held
the first of the direct primaries for the
selection of delegates to the presiden-
tial nominating conventions. After the
Hoosler state starts the ball rolling
there will be constant succession of
state primaries until the first week In
June.
Twenty OF the As states have direct
primary laws. Vermont will be added
to the list If It's primary law is adopted
by a vote of the people at a referen-
dunn to be held next week These 81
states. Ii Vermont Is included will
elect 597 delegates to the Republican
national convention and 500 to the
Democratic national convention. In
both of the national assemblies the
delegates elected by direct vote will
be In a large majority.
OF course, on the assumption that
President Wilson wifi be renominated,
this prevalence Of the primary system
will be of far less Importance to the
Democrats than to the Republicans,
who must seek for the most available
man out of a group OF possibilities.
On the Republican side II is expected
that many state delegations will be
split and that solid delegations for any
individual will be few. In Maryland
the delegates will be instructed by
their districts and the delegates at
large by the state convention. n Cali
fornia the delegation will be chosen by
the vote of the state at large. In
some states the delegates will be chos-
en- directly by the voters, while In 9TH
ers the primary will be for choice of
delegates to a state convention, which
in turn will elect the delegates to the
convention.
Obviously. the primary affords less
scope for the leaders to get together
and settle ON IA candidate. while the
indications from the number of pri-9
maries are that aspirants for the presi-
dency can do less personal work than
ever before. They may go into diff
ferent states and make speeches. but
any agreement they may make with the
leaders of their party may be complete
ly upset by the voters. From every
viewpoint the coming Republican Ha-
tional convention will be far more diff
licult for the politicians to control than
any of its predecessors.

ALL DAY FIGHT IN
THE LOWER HOUSE

Washington, March THE house at
II o'clock assembled for an all day
fight of the administration forces to
kill the McLemore resolution to warn
Americans off the armed ships of bel
ligerents. Speaker Clark was in the
chair. Acting Chairman Pou of the
rules committee, offered a privileged
resolution containing the special rule
and obtained unanimous consent for
IA 80 minutes debate on the rule. The
debate then began.
Representative Pou opened the fight
and got an outburst of applause by
saying: All the imps OF hell never
devised more infamous lie than tho
declaration that has been made that
the president wants war.
Representative Campbell of Kansas,
Republican member of the rules COM
mittee, announced when Pou concluded
that IL a motion to close the debate on
the rule was defeated he would,offer a
substitute for the McLemore resolu-
ton, which would be direct warning
to Americans to keep off armed ships.
First Test Vote.
In the first test vote on the armed
ship question the administration forces
won, 256 to 160.
The prospects of sensational de-
bate attracted a record crowd long
before the house doors opened. Many
brought lunches and books. A spirit
Of combat seemed to be in the air. Two
negro BARRIERS in the house barbershop
wound up an argument by throwing
toilet water bottles at eacss other. Both
were locked up.
Debate on Resolution.
Opportunity for amending the Nc
Lemore resolution was removed by
vote. The house turned to debate on
the resolution itself with indications
that 1t would be tabled as the presi-
dent desires as demonstration to
foreign nations that the dissension
against his foreign policy does not re-
present a majority in congress-
Republican Leader Mann pleaded
with the house to defeat the rule in
order that the McLemore resolution
might be amended, and a vote on
straight warning resolution obtained
When the time for the debate on the
rule expired Representative Garrett
moved the previous question. When
Speaker Clark put 1t there was
thunderous chorus of ayes, and noes.
Representative Campbell of Kentucky
demanded division and Representative
Pou demanded rell call. The vote
on the previous question resulted 256
to 100.
The question to adopt the special rule
was then put. Representative Campbell
demanded the yeas and nays and the
roIlcall began on the adoption of the
rule to consider the warning resoiu-
tion. IT this rule Is defeated" de-
clared Representative Harrison, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi. administration
leader, You will not only send joy
to the hearts Of the people in foreign
capital. but you will stab your own
