candidates for United States senator,
congressman, justice Of the supreme
and judges of the district courts, gov

shall be nominated at state conven-

passed by the two dominant political
parties in this state. 1t seeks to rem
edy many of the objections to the
primary system.
Objection to the primary has been
growing for some years. Many men
who would have taken nomination
from a state convention declined to
make the financial sacrifice for cam
paign under the primary. The cost to
the state was very heavy 1t was pro-
portionately heavy to the candidates
seeking nomination. They found be-
cause of the geographical conditions
of the state it was difficult to make
campaign without heavy cost Many
candidates who had the time and mon

These conditions soon aroused critic

The battle fields cover such a large

ALIENS PREPARE TO RETURN
Fully 10000 From Baltimore Alone
to Go Back to the Soil
Of Their Birth.

Baltimore, Md.-Fully 2O,OOG resi-
dents of Baltimore, most of them for
eigners, are making preparations to
emigrate from the United States to
once more take up their homes In their
birthlands, it was disclosed following
a visit to the offices of several steam
ship agencies.
That the number of persons who
are waiting to return to their native
lands is not a negligible quantity Is
evidenced by the statement Of an East
Baltimore shipping agent that within
the last month more than 1000 men
and women have applied at his office
for information regarding the resump-
ton of passenger travel to various
European countries.
At least 1000 radical Russians liv-
ing in Baltimore it has been estimated

turn to chaotic Russia and take up
their residence under bolshevik rule.

innocent children and q half dozen of
the voodoos, the latter by the applica-
ton of 'lynch" law for the first time
In this country's history, fathers and
mothers are living in constant fear
that their little ones may be spirited
away by the superstitious negroes to
be offered up in sacrifice to "Chango,"
the god Of the "Brujos," as they are
called in the Castilian language.
The voodoos are divided into vari-
sects, each with it's separate god.
The latter include "Babagueye,' god
of sickness; "Elecua," god of injury !;
"Olorruun' god Of misery, and
~"Chango," the terrible god, to whom
human sacrifices are made.
"Chango," according to the voodoo
belief, was the son Of Olorruun and
Anaragun. He was slain by Elecua,
the "god of injury" and assembled into
heaven from a ceiba, or god tree, In

Of May, therefore, that the "BrujOs''
observe their holy week, when Change
is expected to make a weekly visit
to the earth, descending by the ceiba,
his sacred tree, always IN Monday.
The followers Of Elecua do not di-
rectly offer human sacrifices, although
their healers sacrifice the lives of some
patients by giving them poisonous con-
coctions, supposedly a mysterious cure
for some ailment, in order to restore
to health some other patient. Elecua,
being the "god of injury" his follow
ers believe that good can come to one
person only through injury to an
other.
Voodooism is not practiced by the
negroes alone. Many white persons
also are said to secretly take part in
their religious meetings, and accusa-
lions have been heard in various quar-
tiers Of the difficulties encountered by
officers seeking to break up their tenn
pies because of the obstacles placed in
their way by persons of influence.
An active campaign by the authori-
ties in Havana and other parts of
the island have resulted in the cap
ture of numerous "Brujos" and the
of many curious and weird OBJ
jects used by them.

PLOT WORLD REVOLT
Documents Found in Germany
Reveal Complete Plans.
Secret Spartacan Circular Urges AgL
tation Among the Noske
Home Guards.

Berlin.-A complete and carefully
drawn plan to overthrow the present
government and further world revolu-
ton is contained in a secret %Spartacan
circular to its agents and district
chiefs.
The document, which was secured
by the general bureau for the study
of bolshevism," begins by regretting
that the government signed the peace
treaty, thereby delaying the inevitable
crisis.
The document %speculates on various
possible developments and then sets
forth a concrete plan, the first step Of
which would be to hasten an internal
German crisis by tampering with the
home guards Of Gustav NOske, minis
ter of defense, which are declared te
be less reliable than formerly.
The circular urges %Spartacan organ
izations to agitate among the soldiers
by leaflets and verbally.
The railroad men, the document
says, can be counted as won for revo-
lVtion.
The postal workers are depressed,
according to the circular, which goes
on to say that the program with re-
gard to the peasants is complete. The
winning over of the peasants is de-
ito be important, for without
their sympathy or with their enmity
revolution would be difficult If not i'm
possible.
Delay in provoking the revolution is
welcomed, "as it will enable
education of the proletariat;
out every moment and every situation
must be utilized toward the final goal"
